Enyonggg - Moderator Application

[AcuteCircle]

I do not believe Cheng would go into your account to abuse mod powers in any case. I trust Cheng is not that kind of person, but still, your account should be secured.

Answers are not bad in any case, but because you're sticky banned and applied before that ban is resolved, and how fairly new you are, and some language barriers as well as the before mentioned Cheng being able to access your account, I am against this application at the time.

Cheng couldn't access my account nor my computer, if staffs really can see him in a negative way, then I can't do anything about it or I can't blame it. Anyway, thanks. As what I've said, regardless of the outcome, i just want you all to thank you because you stop by and put some effort to read my app and give feedbacks. God bless!

[TheMusician321]

Answers are good and Enyonggg is a good boi OOCly from my perspective. I don't believe Cheng would do what everyone thinks he would but I do believe that you should secure your account.

Language barrier isn't a big problem with Enyonggg, not once have I spoken to him and he had trouble replying in English.


My vote would be a +1 at the moment. I don't think Cheng would use his account and mass-ban everyone.

[starmute]

My biggest issue is the Cheng drama. Its unfair but maybe when you get your own place we can look into this

-1 for now.

[ThesoldierLLJK]

I'll ignore the cheng issue, but the only problem I still have is your current sticky ban which still needs to get resolved.

[forest2001]

Have you ever been banned for more than 24 hours on Colonial Marines?

Permanent banned for years.

Have you ever been banned for more than 24 hours on ANY server? If so, which server, when, and what for?

No

A little contradictory. What was the permaban for?

You see a player walking around the ship naked and clearly lost at roundstart.

Ask a mentor to help him, if there are no mentors on and I'm not particularly busy, I would admin PM them and try to guide them through the basics of SS13, give him the quick start guide and will assist them the best I can by linking them the wiki, forums, rules, etc... and answering any questions they may have.

Mentoring new players is now part of a Moderator's expected duties, if there are no mentors on, and in some cases where there are, you will be expected to help them.

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.

I would try to calm them down and if they're just a bit rude and not super absolutely horrifying toxic I'd try to get an admin to check up on him, if none are available however and it continues to escalate I would try to help them as much as possible, if they continue to be super toxic or they become super toxic then I'd apply a 3 hour ban or longer depending on their note history and tell them to make a staff report if they have a problem with it and to read the rules.

An acceptable answer. It's always important to remember we're just volunteers, you're not expected to sit there and take shit from people. If they are super disrespectful you can apply bans as you've stated.

A player ahelps that a marine is named 'John Doe', how do you deal with this?

I would tell them that no one has probably noticed that it doesn't fit the rules. I would then try to reason with them and tell them to change it after the round. If it's bad enough, then I will get an admin to change their name. However, if they keep arguing and it gets out of hand then I will either give it to a higher up to try to reason with them or just give them a three hour ban. If they don't argue further, then I'll just give them a warning. Add notes.

Moderators can change people's name mid-round and this should be done for any violation, regardless of severity.

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, if they have a history of deploying planetside or stockpiling weapons for meta-boarding then I'd keep an eye on them and if they are metagaming then I'd adminPM them and explain what they did wrong, if they're being nice and understanding I'd let them off with a warning and delete the weapons, if they continue to argue I would check their notes and apply a ban for metagaming depending on the severity of their note history with a link to the rules.

While circumstantial, this is almost always just left IC. The only differences are if they seem to be stockpiling equipment early in the round or especially right after evac.

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?

Survivors are allowed to be hostile to the marines, but it is encouraged they have a valid roleplay reason to do so. I can check the logs to confirm if they were immediately hostile or not to the marines. Provided it all checks out, I would message the marine informing him that survivors are allowed to engage the marines, given they don't turncoat. I would direct him to the roleplay standards in the rules for guidance.

Remember that Survivors need to make hostility very clear, they cannot just murderbone the marines right away.

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.

Get both side stories, check notes, check if logs match the story, Theft, Trespassing are minor crimes, ask what else he piled up to increase timer, crosscheck time limits with marine law. If needed confirm facts with potential witnesses and of course the great logs. Note/Warn/Ban/Job-ban according to situation

Acceptable to a degree. Remember that only one charge can be applied for a single incident, with the usual exclusions.

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?

As a mod, I probably shouldn't be acting on the round in any way but if it's an especially long round I'd SM the aCO to attack the xenos or a high-command fax that the hostiles are almost eliminated. Example, I would SM the commander saying something like "You feel like a final push will end the mission in victory." If that doesn't work, then I will SM the Queen saying, "You feel like the hosts are weak and defenseless." If neither works, then I will ask someone else to try to solve the problem.

As a moderator you are unable to send messages from High Command, you can send faxes but only responses to existing ones. You can make an announcement from the Queen Mother or SM people on the ship. It is generally preferable for Xenos to attack but this is entirely circumstantial.

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?

Get another staff member to handle it. I feel as though I may be too close to the situation and I would just give my advised on what happened so they can speak to the player about why they keep overdosing marines.

Excellent, you should NEVER handle a situation you are directly involved in.

A Marine is running around disarming, punching and stealing gear at round start. You receive an ahelp from one of the victims.

I'd investigate the situation first, was there RP justification for this, is it just between 2 marines or did it involve a ton of other people? I'd also check their notes, if it's just lowRP memery and not many people were involved in it, I'd let them off with a heavy warning and a note, if it's especially severe and/or they have a history of this then I'd hit them with a 3 hour ban for lowRP at roundstart.

Good, round-start shenanigans can be a form of grief and is handled heavily. A severe warning should be bare minimum.

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?

Message the apparent leader and inform them that, while permission isn't required for a mutiny, an AHELP must still be submitted containing the names of the mutineers and their reasons for mutiny. Use LOOC if necessary but avoid general OOC as it could indicate to command a mutiny is imminent.

Permission is always required however as a moderator, unless the reason given is LRP, unreasonable, or if the dropship has been hijacked (and the alert has occured), we cannot deny them. The new MOOC would be a wise tool to use, although the issue remains with alerting command. As a whole, LOOC is the best choice. Remember you can sleep people if the situation requires it.

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.

If it's just minor stuff and not over the top racism, I'd deem it an IC issue and inform him to talk to the MPs about it, I'd keep an eye on it though in case it evolves into full blown racist tirades. I would ask the players to stop using the racial comments. Hopefully, they will listen and stop. If they start arguing, then I will start banning based on the severity and how many times they did it.

Acceptable, but keep in mind it may be a good idea to ask them to stop regardless, or in the very least to remember some people may take offence to what they're saying and to think appropriately.

A marine opens fire at round start in briefing killing multiple marines and instantly logs off.

Aheal the ones affected and check the shooter's notes, if it was a random drive-by shooting I'd apply a 3 day ban and apply a note, if the person has a history of this or many people were injured/involved then I'd apply a 7 day ban and a perma ban request.

I'm pleased by the fact that you aren't extremely heavy handed, but remember it's better to be too strict than too lenient and have someone just do it again.

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.

I would take a close look into the situation, taking the time to ahelp the dead player to find out his side of the story too. In the interim I would try to check up on the logs to find out if there is any story to back up the killers claims, if so then the issue is resolved. If I cannot find anything to back up the killers claims then I would treat the situation the same way I would as another Player kills X player situation, resolving a note and a ban depending upon any past history with any murder-grief. A three hour ban is likely all that's needed, though I would try to take the time to explain that their action was wrong and why. They may have seen the situation as role play but yelling one line and then blasting someone with buckshot does not make for a great story, if they fail to understand this or have a long history of weakly excused murder then a twelve or even thirty six hour ban may be more appropriate.

Just remember, kill or be killed situations like this are usually acceptable reasons to kill your own team. This being the primary situation.

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'd try to calm down the player if I thought it was possible, I would be somewhat hesitant about handing them off immediately to an Admin+ though as soon as the issue arose I would see if I could find someone to potentially take the case if I couldn't deescalate the situation. I would take the time to check the player notes for any history of bad behavior, potentially offering the player a warning if this was a continued or severe event.

Generally it's best to ignore them if you can't de-escalate, you are also free to speak with a Senior Moderator or higher staff to speak with them if you do not believe you are able to.

You see a fellow staff member give wrong information in an Adminhelp or incorrectly enforce a rule.

I would message the staff member at fault and inform them about where they went wrong. If there was fighting back or they refused to acknowledge they are wrong I would ask a higher ranking staff member for their input on the situation.

If they did give the wrong information and they refuse to amend their ruling, take it to their manager.

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?

Honestly if I had to 100 percent get involved, I would tell them to keep things at least respectful and if things get too out of hand and I would ask for a staff member to handle things as this is out of my own jurisdiction or get a higher up staff member or their manager, this is not my problem to handle fights between staff since it would just get me involved in the fight and since the one taking the ahelp took the ahelp then it is their situation to handle.

Yes, take it to their manager.

Why would you like to become a moderator?

I would like to give back to the server. For almost 3 years with different names/key and because of permanent banned, CM has given me countless hours of enjoyment, but the great experience we have here is only because the hard work of the staff team in their respective roles. As a player who has experience of being a Mod, the best way for me to return the favor would be volunteering as a moderator. Through that, I hope to uphold the rules and values that CM has in making the server a fun place.

This is a critical red-flag I want to address. I would like you to explain to me what this means, and why, should this prove to be what it appears at face value, we should allow you to stay. Multikeying is a major issue and extremely against the rules.

In your opinion, what is the most important quality for a moderator?

First is accountability, as much as it might surprise other players, staff members are actually human nobody's perfect. But I believe a core trait of being staff is being responsible enough to hold yourself accountable for the decisions made and holding yourself accountable for the players' enjoyment of the round. Staff has a job to do, and being accountable and ensuring that said job gets carried out is a must. Second and the third are impartiality and an analytical mindset because CM is both a tight community as well as a vitriolic one at times. What this means is a mod needs to look past any biases, whether positive or negative, and uphold our rules and standards fairly across the board. The moderator also needs a good sense of analysis to act as a fact-finder and build a chain of events out of a complex set of circumstances, contexts, and perspectives.

An excellent explanation.

Anything else you

I am relatively new to CM and my forum post count is really not that incredible, I'm just honestly quite impressed with the server and I'd like to give something back. I'm more of the type to try and rectify bad play than immediately ban, but I do understand that certain infractions require a punishment and that not all cases are the same. Regardless of the outcome, I just want to thank you for taking the time to read through my application.

New, but played for three years?

As a whole there are ups and downs with your application, but I will not give support until you have addressed my red-flag.
