    I'm not sure I 100% follow you here, but I'm assuming you mean I'm playing a round as the only staff on? While I try to avoid that for reasons exactly like this, I'd probably cryo myself to better handle things until more of us were about. It's definitely easier to manage things as an observer.

    I'm pretty sure there's a nice list that auto updates for every active ban, so my first step would be checking that to see if their ckey is still there. If not, someone probably just forgot to add a note about it being removed. If someone somehow forgot to BAN them and only added a note though, then I can finish that off for them after informing the player what happened.

    Ask them for a screenshot of the error it's giving them, check ban list in the meantime to see if I can figure it out myself, let them know the reason they were banned if there is one, or if it was a sticky. I'll send them a screenshot with an arrow pointing to forms too, if they have trouble finding the spot to ban appeal.

    I will reformulate the first question: You're alone on the server, one player break the rules but you're involved in the situation, you ping a moderator to come solve this ahelp, but one is only available to come in 2 hours and the round will end in 30 minutes, how do you proceed with this?

    Regarding to the second question, Permabans can be lost in the system and Moderators only know who is perma'd by the forum administration archive. The best course of action on this is Ahelp the player asking for links of his appeal after his permaban date, if player couldn't provide you the links, then you ban for 7 days and request a perma again.

    Moderators don't have access to all bans, the only way to check is via Notes.

    Must say, i am a bit skeptical about your proceedures and your lack of interest for the player's side., but i will remain with +1 let's how you go with trial.

    I mean this seems pretty cut and dry unless I'm misunderstanding you? Unless you mean I'm also breaking a rule? But if I'm involved I know exactly what happened and lead up to things, wouldn't I be the most equipped to handle it at the time by proceeded as the seriousness of the break dictates?

    I think I was confusing a different format then, it has been a while after all, and I was staff on a friend's forum for a while in the interim. I'll keep this in mind, thanks.

    Thanks! I think a lot of this is because I am indeed rusty as you said earlier; It's been a while since I've seen any of the applicable tools and staff pages, and that was all on the old forum anyways, so I have no idea if things are even the same.

    My Question mainly was to see how would you deal with ahelps that you're particularly involved.

    One of our protocols is, you do NOT handle your own ahelps or ahelps that may involve you in the question. E.G.: A player reports that a MP broke the SOP for arrests and the MP is you, or you as Squad Marine sees an Squad Medic performing Surgery.

    Okay, I understand what you mean now. I thought you meant more third party than that, my mistake. I will keep this in mind though if I ever play MP. I thought the addition of skills made it impossible for medics to surgery now though? Or was that just an example?

    I am pretty sure what Hunk wants to ask is in the theoretical scenario of you being an only mod and involved in any situation that also involves you what will you do, the situations shouldn't matter.

    On the other hand, listening to the answers and explanations, I think you have a general idea and should be enough for a trial. +1

    You only live once, think about what you are doing, what you can do, what you will do. Don't make mistakes or regret your decisions, you will only ever make them once every time until it's over.

    So you have a lot of support here, and I cannot find anything negative about you on the old forums from your time in staff.
    I'm going to accept this, please check your PMs for further information.
