Best of luck @Gourov1. What would you like us to call you?
My nickname Gourov or my first name Sam.
2. How long have you been a member of the SBenny Site?
1 year +
3. Have you ever worked in a forum setting before? What was your role and what was expected of you?
Unfortunately not ... But I am quite a fast learner ... So I am quite confident that I can help here.
4. Describe the toughest team you had to work with. What made it tough? How were you able to work with the rest of the group?
Well .... That's a long story ... Let me make this short... So on my high school I beat a boy up out of frustration for bullying me. And that boy was on the team I leading for the practical project. And our teachers needed two participants from every group for the presentation. But tbh I admit he is a brilliant student. So We decided that me and that boy will go for presentation. Everything was alright but on presentation day he refused to go. When I asked him what happened ? why you don't want to go ? He started pulling our personal tensions. He wanted me to say sorry for that day or he won't go. And I was like not at all. As only two of us prepared for presentation so I had no choice then. Well anyway we got quite a score 24 out of 25 , so I think that sorry was worth it
5. Based on your experience, describe a situation in which you identified a problem and took action to correct it rather than waiting for someone else to do so. What was the problem, what did you do, and what was the outcome?
Well on this forum , I reported quite a number of threads as the violated the rules. Like duplicate or resolved threads. And when I found any bugs I reported it to Sbenny. Just like for now the automarge not working so I already reported it.
6. A big part of working on the Staff Team involves the ability to communicate effectively within a team setting. What does working on a team look like to you?
A Team or A Group is like a human body to me . And each member is like a body part. So if you want to push forward every parts need to contribute their best.
7. Are you willing to join Viber (either on PC or on your phone) and join the Staff chat?
I am already on Viber.
8. About how much time do you think you would be able to dedicate to the responsibilities that come with being part of the team? Would you be able to check in daily?
Tbh , it's varies. I can contribute more when I am in town but I might be not that much online when I am in village or if I am busy. And yeah I can check in daily.
9. If you were to join the team, what is one thing that you feel that you can bring to the table to help better the team and the SBenny Community as a whole?
As a student of an army university I can fit in every corner. I can help with greetings , answering questions , maybe some minor modding things or any section you want.
10. Do you have any questions for us?
Of course ... This question for that person examining my form.... When you getting free today ? ... I wanna ask you out for a coffee lol.
Best of luck man1. What would you like us to call you?
A. I guess my current name is okay.
2. How long have you been a member of the SBenny Site?
A. I joined back in Nov 2019, so 4-5 months I guess?
3. Have you ever worked in a forum setting before? What was your role and what was expected of you?
A. Not really a forum setting, but I did play the role of a moderator of PC sub-thread (kind of a sub-reddit) in a Question/Answer community. Mostly I wrote answers about games but also wrote some about computers in general. I left the community a while ago due to the sympathetic direction it had taken regarding the behavior of the community.
4. Describe the toughest team you had to work with. What made it tough? How were you able to work with the rest of the group?
A. The QnA team I worked with wasn't that tough to deal with but in real life I have had problems dealing with my football (soccer?) team-mates as a Captain. Some of them were kinda deluded and wont stick to the plan but a little bit of silver tongue and some convincing did the trick.
5. Based on your experience, describe a situation in which you identified a problem and took action to correct it rather than waiting for someone else to do so. What was the problem, what did you do, and what was the outcome?
A. During one of our matches, the midfielders were performing very poorly from the start hence ruining the tempo of the whole team. The problem ended up being a dispute of purely personal nature between two of the midfielders which made the teamwork a bit hard to workout. The only solution I could think of was to either substitute one of the players or change their on field position. Substituting would result in a huge moral loss so I ended up swapping the position of one of the players. He clearly wasn't suited for the position but it was way better than his natural position due to the dispute. The end result was a drastic change in the team's performance and we somehow managed a draw, otherwise it would have been a very embarrassing defeat.
6. A big part of working on the Staff Team involves the ability to communicate effectively within a team setting. What does working on a team look like to you?
A. Considering my love for football where teamwork is very essential, I firmly believe in teamwork as long as it does not suppress the individual qualities of a person
and does not affect the moral/emotional state of the whole team negatively.
7. Are you willing to join Viber (either on PC or on your phone) and join the Staff chat?
A. Yes I will gladly join the team via Viber.
8. About how much time do you think you would be able to dedicate to the responsibilities that come with being part of the team? Would you be able to check in daily?
A. I have a hectic schedule in weekdays but I can dedicate 2-3 hours. On weekends I can certainly dedicate a larger part of the whole day and yes I check in daily.
9. If you were to join the team, what is one thing that you feel that you can bring to the table to help better the team and the SBenny Community as a whole?
A. I am always willing to help out anyone who requires some info regarding the site. Although I will certainly try to help anyone in the need of guidance, I can help
people in the fields of Gaming, PCs and modding to the best of my abilities. I can also act as a ambassador between two individuals.
10. Do you have any questions for us?
A. Nope. Keep up the great work all of you have been doing. I truly appreciate your hard work and dedication.
