a6) Have you ever been banned? If so, explain why? Yes twice, the first was mass rdm 3 years ago I have changed a lot since then. The second was 2 weeks ago for "attempting to crash the server" I am currently unbanned, i got unbanned because I did not do the thing I was accused of.

a7) Do you have any prior staffing experience? If so, where?

Yes I was admin on a server called RainRP until it was shut down the server averaged 50 players.

Please answer these questions with your honest opinion.
b1) Why do you want to volunteer for XenoRP?

I want to volunteer because I am on a lot and There are a lot of times where there are no staff on I enjoy moderating and helping people so I would fill these gaps I only play xeno when i'm on gmod so I can help out whenever I'm on. I enjoy playing on xeno because of the people that play on it both the mods and the players are fun to be around and hang out with so I feel as a mod I could help ensure that those players that are on xeno to have a good time get the experience they are looking for.

b2) If you were to get accepted, what do you think would make you a good moderator?

I have a lot of experience in ulx and blogs so I'm already familiar with the tools so i would require minimal training. I also am well known in the community. When I first joined the server i admit I was pretty mingy but I've toned it down a lot and I believe that I have strong understanding of whats allowed on the server. I know  the server rules and can enforce them properly.

Please provide descriptive answers for the following questions:

c1) Define RDM/RDA and describe how players who perform those actions should be punished.

RDM is Random Death match

It is when you kill someone for no rp reason

first offence is a warn second is another warn and the third is considered mass rdm and is a 2 week ban.

RDA is Random Arrest

It is when you arrest someone for no rp reason

first offence is a warn second is another warn and the third is considered mass rda and is a 2 week ban.

c2) Explain "NLR" and provide examples of instances in which it is violated.

NLR is new life rule 

It means you cannot return to the place you were killed for 2 minutes

for example if a person dies while defending their base from a raid they cannot return to defend their base as they have already died. Their rp character is dead

c3) Define "metagame" and provide examples of its occurrence.

Metagaming is when you use infrmation that you did not obtain through rp

for examply knowing someone is in a base by useing push to talk and seeing that someone can hear you.

another example is someone on discord telling you that there are printers in someones base and then you go police and raid their base this is metagame because you should not know there are printers inside.

Please explain how you would handle each of these situations:
d1) You see a higher up is abusing their powers to the highest severity, how do you react?

I would record them doing it and ask them to stop and then send the recording to their team admin.

d2) During a sit, you see someone outside of the sit Mass RDMing. How do you handle the situation?

Tp and jail the mass rdm'r ban them and then continue the sit

d3) Only two other players are online, and they're building in the streets.

I would recommend a large building in industrial warehouse to build in or go hobo and build on side of street. If they continue to build in street I would have to warn them.

Thoughts and Personal Experiences

I know you used to be active, and I've seen you on a lot and interacted with you a lot-- we've had good and bad moments. However, I don't remember having seen you even once since your last application.

Errors in Application

None, pretty good application, if a little difficult to read grammatically-speaking.

Pros

Pretty decent grasp on the rules, last unappealed ban was a while ago, last warns weren't that recent (though still probably a little too recent for my liking), at least formerly pretty active.

Cons

Not as active recently. Warns are still more recent than I'd like.

Conclusion

Really, the thing giving me the most pause about you is that I genuinely do not remember seeing you on a single time since last time you applied to be staff. Your warns are more recent than ideal, but I'd be willing to look past that if I'd just seen you even once. I'd say that you should become a lot more active and stay on very good behavior, and I might change my opinion before the end of the week.
