Garry's Mod staff and whitelisted job applications
GMod servers have some of the most structured job systems in gaming. Whitelisted jobs, staff ranks, gamemaster teams, event teams — and the moment your server grows past a hundred players, running all that intake through a forum and a Steam group stops working.

Staff applications on a forum nobody has moderated since 2019
Whitelisted job requests handled entirely through Steam DMs
No consistent standard between one admin's reviews and another's
Guildbase gives your server a proper application portal: staff applications with rule exams, whitelisted job applications with their own reviewers, and Discord roles applied automatically when someone is accepted.
Applications Garry's Mod communities actually run
Every one of these is its own template with its own questions, requirements, reviewers and workflow. Build the ones you need and ignore the rest.
Staff and admin applications
Your main moderation intake, with situational questions on prop abuse, RDM and handling reports under pressure.
Whitelisted job applications
Intake for restricted jobs — SCP roles, officer roles, CO slots — each with its own lore and procedure questions.
Gamemaster and event team applications
Recruit the people who run events, with a written event pitch as part of the application itself.
Developer and addon applications
Recruit Lua developers and content creators with links to previous addons and workshop items.
Ban appeals and staff reports
Handle appeals and complaints about staff through tickets with a proper record and a clear outcome.
Trial staff reviews
Run the end of a trial moderator period as a tracked decision rather than a conversation in a staff channel.
What Guildbase does for Garry's Mod communities
The features that matter when you are running intake for Garry's Mod (DarkRP, MilitaryRP, SCP-RP), not a generic form builder.
Steam verification
Require a linked Steam account so you can match an applicant to their SteamID before anyone gets moderation powers.
Rule and procedure exams
Attach a timed exam on your rules, staff handbook or SCP procedure, and require a pass before a human reviews the application.
Job roles in Discord
Whitelisted job and staff roles applied automatically on acceptance, with the applicant role removed in the same step.
Trial staff stages
Move applicants through trial and full staff as workflow stages, so the promotion decision is recorded and role changes happen automatically.
Consistent review standards
Assigned reviewers, internal notes and required stages mean every application is judged the same way regardless of who picks it up.
AI content detection
Flag applications that look machine generated, so copy-pasted answers do not sail through your staff intake.

Questions worth asking on a Garry's Mod application
Steal these. They are the questions that separate applicants who will stick around from applicants who wanted to see what was behind the form.
- 1 Link your Steam profile and give us your SteamID.
- 2 How many hours do you have on our server?
- 3 A player is mass RDMing in spawn. Walk through your response step by step.
- 4 What is the difference between a warn, a kick and a ban in our rules?
- 5 Have you been staff on another GMod server? What happened there?
- 6 What is your timezone and typical playtime?
- 7 Pitch an in-character event you would run as gamemaster.
- 8 Have you ever been banned from this server? Explain the circumstances.
Garry's Mod application FAQs
Can I run staff applications for a DarkRP server?
Yes. Build a staff application template with your situational questions, attach a rules exam, and require Steam verification. Applications land in a shared queue that your admin team reviews together.
Can I gate whitelisted jobs behind an application?
Yes. Each whitelisted job can be its own application template with its own questions and reviewers, and acceptance can automatically assign the matching Discord role.
Does it work for SCP-RP and MilitaryRP servers?
Yes. Nothing is tied to a specific gamemode. SCP-RP servers typically run separate applications per restricted role, MilitaryRP servers run them per rank or regiment, and both use the same workflow and exam system.
Can I catch AI-written staff applications?
Guildbase includes AI content detection that flags applications whose answers look machine generated, so your reviewers know to look more closely rather than being fooled by a polished copy-paste.
How do trial staff periods work?
Model trial staff as a workflow stage. Accepting an application applies the trial role, and moving the application to the full staff stage swaps the roles and records who approved the promotion.
Is there a free plan for a small GMod server?
Yes. The free plan covers one server with two application templates, which is enough for staff applications and one whitelisted job. Servers with many whitelisted roles will want the unlimited templates on Pro.
