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.
Moderators can change people's name mid-round and this should be done for any violation, regardless of severity.
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.
Remember that Survivors need to make hostility very clear, they cannot just murderbone the marines right away.
Acceptable to a degree. Remember that only one charge can be applied for a single incident, with the usual exclusions.
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.
Excellent, you should NEVER handle a situation you are directly involved in.
Good, round-start shenanigans can be a form of grief and is handled heavily. A severe warning should be bare minimum.
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.
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.
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.
Just remember, kill or be killed situations like this are usually acceptable reasons to kill your own team. This being the primary situation.
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.
If they did give the wrong information and they refuse to amend their ruling, take it to their manager.
Yes, take it to their manager.
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.
An excellent explanation.
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.
