    Communication is a vital part of being a Moderator. Are you willing to actively do so with the team?
    Yes.

    Common Staff Situations

    A player randomly shoots someone at round start and MPs have detained him.
    If it was a single negligent discharge i'd let the MP's handle it as an IC issue while i check the player's notes, and if it's not something mentioned as a common occurance i'd leave it there.

    A player ahelps that a predator has violated the honor code when killing him, what should you do?
    As Moderators are not really meant to judge whitelist rule breaks unless they are harming the round, i'd direct the dead player to the "player reports" forum.

    You see a player walking around the ship naked and clearly lost at roundstart.
    I would attempt to delegate this to any available mentors, or if none are available, i would provide the new player a link to the quickstart guide and encourage them to PM me with any questions.

    A player is being very rude to you in adminhelps, calling you names and arguing everything you say. He is requesting to speak to an Admin+ staff member.
    All staff are volunteers and the player cannot ask for escalation simply because they're angry at me, and the player is breaking rule 3 by being argumentative and rude. I'd direct them to Staff Reports where they can vent about any issue they have with me, and then if they persist, mute them from aHelp

    A player ahelps that a marine is named 'John Doe', how do you deal with this?
    I would check John Doe's notes, and if this is not listed i would PM the player and inform them of Rule 12, and ask what they would like to be renamed to, and remind them to change their name next round. I would then add a note. If they have prior notes for this behaviour i may take further action.

    You see a Maintenance Tech running around in armor and carrying a rifle. The security level is green and there has been no threat to the ship in the round at this point.
    IC issue unless they start griefing.

    I keep an eye on them.

    A Marine ahelps that they were killed by a survivor. It is early round, the Marines have just landed, and the survivor claims that they were outright hostile to all Marines from the get-go and openly stated their intentions. How do you deal with this?
    I will pull logs and interview the marine and survivor to establish if the survivor's hostility was made clear and was consistent. If the survivor made their intent clear such as by wordlessly shooting the marines on sight or telling them to back off or be shot, i will inform the marine that this is allowed behavior.

    If the intent was not made clear such as the survivor entering FOB and talking with marines before opening fire unprovoked, there would be consequences for the survivor.

    You receive an ahelp from a player stating that an MP has locked them up in permanent confinement for running into Requisitions and taking an attachment that was laying around.
    If the CMP or CO has not approved a permanent confinement, i would bwoink the MP and tell them to release the player. If the player resisted arrest and got the max sentence for theft/tresspass and the max sentence for resisting arrest, and perma was filed, i would let it stand. And of course CO override would always stand, although i may then encourage the prisoner to make a report about what could be an excessive sentence.

    The round is stagnating. There are 30 marines and 4 aliens. The marines won't leave the ship, and the aliens won't attack. What would you do, to "encourage" the sides to engage each other?
    I may fax or subtle message the current commander and advise them to engage the xenos planetside, as the marines are currently at an advantage.

    If this is not heeded i may bolster the strength of xeno forces in some way, sufficient that they may now attack the Almayer.

    You are playing as a medic, and another medic overdoses all your patients and prevent marines from being revived. It seems like it may be on purpose. How do you deal with this situation?
    I would ahelp the situation for another staff member to handle as i am too invested in the situation. If none are available, i would check the player's notes, message them about what they did and why, and go from there.

    The round ends, a Marine starts shooting a hostile CLF member and the CLF member ahelps about being killed after the round ended.
    This is allowed, EORG only applies to deliberate friendly fire.

    A Marine is running around disarming, punching and stealing gear at round start. You receive an ahelp from one of the victims.
    Roundstart shennanigans are frowned upon as stated in Rule 4, i'd ask them to knock it off while i check if they have notes about this. If they have notes and/or don't stop, i may issue a punishment depending on the severity of their prior notes.

    You receive an ahelp from a Marine saying that he was killed by another Marine. When you ask the murderer why, he said it was because the other Marine had punched him.
    I would check notes, if there is sufficient previous notes about this, i would issue a long ban and file for perma, if this is a first time offense, i'd add a note and issue a severe warning, potentially a short ban if they are not sufficiently responsive about the matter. In any case, i would probably AHeal the dead player.

    You find out that there is an improper mutiny occuring. The mutineers are rallying together and preparing to storm the CIC. How would you attempt to resolve this situation?
    I would LOOC and if necessary sleep the mutineers and remind them of the mutiny rules about Ahelping it first, and that a peaceful resolution must be attempted first. If they have a valid reason and understand that they have to have a leader and must attempt to be communicative with the aCO, then i would allow the mutiny to proceed. If they persist with an invalid mutiny then i would take further actions.

    There are minor racist comments going on IC. 9 of the 10 people are laughing and RPing but one player gets offended and Adminhelps about it.
    Racism is ok in moderation when kept IC, i would inform the disgruntled person of this.

    A marine opens fire at round start in briefing killing multiple marines and instantly logs off.
    Apply the longest ban i can and file for perma, this is a textbook greifer. All affected players will be Ahealed.

    You see a player playing a Xeno larva/chestburster run towards the frontlines straight from the Xeno hive the second they burst and die.
    Would message the xeno player and ask then what they were doing, and would either give them a strong warning and a note, or xeno job ban depending on attitude and previous notes.

    You see a Xeno memeing, saying AYYLMAO, REEEEEE etc in hivemind chat, as well as insulting the Queen.
    I would warn the player that their actions are LRP and are breaking the rules of Xeno by insulting the queen. If they do not cease and desist they will receive a note/warning or be forcibly ghosted.

    A Xeno player calls the shuttle a "dropship". A different Xeno player ahelps that it's low role play to call it a "dropship".
    Per the Xeno roleplay standards, the hivemind chat is an english translation of the xeno's thoughts and so dropship is acceptable as a name for the metal bird.

    A Command staff player at briefing near round-start mentions there are aliens on the planet. You receive an ahelp from a marine regarding this.
    I would point the player to the roleplay standards, and explicitly remind them that the humans aboard the Almayer know nothing about the xenos. I would leave a note.

    You find a Marine killing another Marine on the EVAC Pod to take the last spot and claims it was RP as he was saving himself. There are two other marines in the pod along with him.
    If the area was dangerous and there was no other pod available, and the killer had demanded that the dead person leave the pod, then it would be allowed as it is within roleplay standards.

    A player insults you after you warn them for a minor issue and begins ranting in LOOC or dchat about staff and mentions you specifically, referring to you as an 'idiot' and a 'retard'.
    I would warn the player for Rule 3 and leave a note.

    A player ahelps saying he was hugged by a Xeno when he was ssd, and wants the larva be removed from him via admin powers. How do you handle the ahelp?
    Inform them that being hugged was directly or indirectly his fault and diplomatically tell them to suck it up.

    You see a fellow staff member give wrong information in an Adminhelp or incorrectly enforce a rule.
    i would privately inform the staff member of their error, and point them to the relevant documentation that proves me correct.

    Two staff are arguing in msay if an ahelp is breaking a rule. Because the staff who took the ahelp thinks the player broke a rule, they ban the player based on their interpretation of the rules, with others thinking the person was fine. What would you do?
    I would not involve myself if i knew nothing about the situation that the staff member just addressed, i would instead inform a more senior staff member that there was a ban that was in dispute.

    Why would you like to become a moderator?
    You guys are recruiting right now, and i feel like helping out in lowpop and whenever else will be beneficial to the team and the playerbase, it'd be good to give back y'know?

    Also want different coloured OOC to be special /s

    In your opinion, what is the most important quality for a moderator?
    Cool headedness, no matter what your personal feelings on a matter, the rules are the rules.

    Anything else you
    Nothing more to add, have at it.

    HOWEVER I think that your app, while perhaps barebones, is good. Typically I'd say yes. The hours that you can moderate are the kicker. 14, or less. Right now we're looking for moderators that can work within a certain timeframe, but more importantly, will be on reliably. Still, 14 hours IS nice. But if it gets to less some issues might be had, otherwise. Good app

    Ill give you a few questions because generic app is generic. But i do know you and besides a couple small hiccups recently i know youre not a shitter.

    1. A marine ahelps saying that a lurker and a runner are working together to "metadrag" marines and hide the bodies in dark corners to prevent revives.

    2. TC decide to take Tank to briefing running over a couple of medics and PFCs on the way at which point one of the PFCs shoot at the tank who run them over again and sit on them before ahelping about said marine.

    3. Its low pop and the XO makes a questionable order via announcement for "All marines check out this link" before posting a link. Said link is a link to a "SFW" porn site.

    While this behaviour is a bit outside the intended gameplay loop for the xenos and marines, with the change a while ago to prevent dead marines from being dragged, it's not against the rules to move someone into a dark corner before killing them off - if it was then i should be aHelping when playing marine far more often. Two xeno players working together like this is not an issue, marine overwatch should be handling this situation to have the revivable marines recovered. No action taken.

    Ok this is a very messy situation, the Tank shouldn't be rolling around briefing in the first place, and annoyed marines shouldn't react by shooting at it - no fighting grief with grief. My immediate course of action is to do everything in my power to get the tank removed from the briefing area and back in the hangar/tankbay as quickly as possible. I'd deal with the TC by telling them to take the tank off of the marine they are sat atop and to stop running people over, and i would PM the marine they are sat atop asking them to stop firing on the tank. From there i would rather the rest be handled IC by the acting commander and their officers, probably with a subtle message to get the ball rolling. If the Tank Crew are unresponsive to orders, i would have to take action against them to have the round proceed in an orderly fashion.

    If it gets resolved quickly and peacefully, i would leave it there, but if players are unwilling to get things back on the rails there will be punishments.

    Ok so even if this is SFW, it's still content that breaches Rule 1, as any porn site is going to contain erotic content. This definitely breaches Rule 2 as an XO sending porn links to the entire almayer is rock bottom LRP. Probably breaches Rule 8 as you're linking to a site that's completely out of context, and I'd say linking to a porn site from 2019 is OOC done IC, so a probably Rule 10 break...

    The list goes on and on with how this is a no-no. Temp ban and a heavy note at the very minimum.



    I'm not well versed on what punishments are normally handed out for what rule breaks, so i'd have to defer to a full moderator or other staff member until i get an idea of what the standard procedure is, my idea of punishments here are ballpark at best until i have experience.

    Also might not be the best time to be applying for Moderator after my hiccup as Predator, but i saw ThesoldierLLJK post requesting staff, so i thought i'd throw in my hat.

    As to the hours i can moderate, once i'm on my new schedule next week i can give more solid numbers, but i can guarantee that the login times will be consistent, and i'll rarely be so pre-occupied that i can't answer a call for staff to log on.

    1. Not too bad of an answer though you should still investigate them for metacoms. Ghost them for a few minutes and see if theyre moving together on the same screen, changing directions without talking etc. While the dragging isnt a issue anymore something like this usually takes at least some coordination (espcially if its gotten to the point where someones ahelping).

    2. Im happy with this answer, you covered the basics and showed that youd investigate.

    3. ERP, erotica or pornography is an instant 7day ban and perma filing, 18+ content is a hardline on the server and basically if it would get you zucked on facebook or if it would have been on OLD tumblr then chances are this is the path you should take,

    Your hours are less of a concern for me. Last i checked grimdad only expects a minimum of 7-14 hours a week anyways and everyones busy different amounts. Ive really been trying to cut back on being neutral abit more these days so ill give you my +1 in the hopes and expectations that you iron out the punishments youre unsure on etc. Good luck friendo

    To be honest I was going to 1+ you anyway, but I just wanted to have a good laugh. You had decent responses and while basic, your app shows potential. Trial oughta iron out the minor things. The hours do not bother me much, since everybody's got their own lives to live.

    Ignoring your predator screwups, predator gameplay != moderator duties

    Your application is fine, but I have some hard nuts for you to crack

    1. Another moderator is synth survivor and ahelps the following "A spitter just blew up a fuel tank and killed me and another survivor." You asked the spitter what happened and he says "I targeted the human to spit and they left a fuel tank there and it just blew up." How would you handle this?

    2. A predator at round start immediately goes to the ship, goes to briefing while cloaked and begins to HPC everything in sight and killing every marine while spamming FUCK THIS SERVER! You are the only mod on, how would you handle this?

    3. A manager runs an event, however it is going horribly and there are constant ahelps that "THIS EVENT IS UNFAIR.." "THIS EVENT SUCKS" "WHO IS RUNNING THIS STUPID SHIT." How would you handle this?
