    Qualifications

    Do you have any previous experience in being staff (not just SS13)?
    On a Gmod server, it went down the tubes unfortunately.

    Do you play any servers aside from CM-SS13?
    Paradise, a bit. eh I dabble in other servers.

    no

    No.

    Are you familiar with the chat program Discord (its use is required)?
    Yes

    Communication is a vital part of being a Moderator. Are you willing to actively do so with the team?
    yes, (though if they use the word "team" instead of "other staff" it's very cringe of them)

    Common Staff Situations

    A player randomly shoots someone at round start and MPs have detained him.
    Pm the lad, since he has possibly still broken rules, and ask why he did it. If punishable punish him and inform him, if there has been a supposed misunderstanding and he said he did it just because of another player in self defence go deal with the whole problem of the both and dish out punishments per context.

    A player ahelps that a predator has violated the honor code when killing him, what should you do?
    Tell him thanks for the information, but say i'd recommend you go player report him / inform the pred council as it's very much out of my hands to dish out punishment.

    You see a player walking around the ship naked and clearly lost at roundstart.
    I would probably just leave it up to the SEA, or a mentor with a notification. If he ahelped or I know there are no mentors/SEA's on. I would probably help him to start with, as it's best for the community to direct players the right way.
    (of course I would tell him to use mentor-help instead and to read the new-player quickstart guide as ahelp is only for rule breaks/roleplay/gameplay issues.)

    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 probably reply with "I have reached this verdict and ruled within reason, as per the rules: (rule link) you have been in violation of x. I've been very understanding of your issues, and if you still think I have done something wrong. Please staff report it, I'm nearly sure someone above my station would read it. I'm sorry I could not reach a level on which you have calmed down on, but I still hope you will enjoy CM at some point. Hope you enjoy a less angry day.

    A player ahelps that a marine is named 'John Doe', how do you deal with this?
    This is a pop culture name for a person who is concealing their actual name. So meh, I would say maybe just tell him to pick a name that's not apart of pop culture as of rule 12 (rule link) and if he continues to use it a further punishment may be dished out and note it.

    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.
    This is against SoP, however. More of a MP issue then a rule break issue (and a very minor one at that) in some loose people's rule books this constitutes as a rule break, but I'd say as long as it's not apart of him shooting someone that means it is punishable just leave it up for the MP's to be concerned about if they even care themselves. (Of course, I would have an issue, maybe, if it's just before a hijack and the code hasn't been set as that's still metagaming. Though, you would have to catch me on a very bad day for that.)

    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?
    still an offensive act (unless event,) tell the survivor why he's wrong about the whole issue and that per the survivor roleplay standards (rules link) you cannot be openly hostile. If this is a first offence, noted. If he has done this before. the punishment may be more severe.

    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.
    ask the MP if this is true and investigate myself. if it is, tell him that the punishment is very much wrong and that you should've just applied a trespass/theft charge, note him for being an MP who broke Marine Law (neglect of duty) and tell him to just give him trespass/theft punishment, or if he has done this before and this is ban worthy (very unlikely) get someone else to let him go or give him the trespass and theft charge.

    If it isn't, (and this is an incredibly unlikey isn't) tell him why he was arrested.

    Of course, If an admin wants to make a fuss of this with roleplay as a provost marshal or something, as the entire MP staff has been incompetent that round, he could.

    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?
    Probably just a "you think" action on both leaders saying "you think you should probably go clean the ship/planet of the enemy"

    Of course, if they continue to ignore. I could just fax them and give them a prod to why they're getting no reports of them doing anything.

    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?
    this is a very unlikely situation for me, but i'd probably yell at him why he is overdosing all my patients, and tell him to stop treating my patients when I am as you'll probably OD them! and if he continues to OD the patients i'll go ask someone else in staff chat to deal with the situation considering I was ICly involved and give him the information with the best of my understanding.

    The round ends, a Marine starts shooting a hostile CLF member and the CLF member ahelps about being killed after the round ended.
    I would tell the CLF member that whilst EORG against friendly players isn't allowed (i.e. shooting at them) shooting enemy players is not EORG.

    A Marine is running around disarming, punching and stealing gear at round start. You receive an ahelp from one of the victims.
    this is not necessarily grief, and I would leave it if it is minor enough to be considered just hooliganism and for the MP's, but if he actually very much disrupts a player's game flow or somewhat disrupts many, I would probably tell him to stop doing that as it is very much defined in grief and note him.

    Though, telling him to stop and noting him (if he was a first time offender) would probably be more likely considering I have received a help about it.

    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 tell the marine who murdered the other marine that you don't escalate situations like that. the other marine may of misclicked or responded very lightly to something you had done to him. And you do not lethaly kill someone, and that this is very specifically defined under rule 14. punished if he has done tomfuckery before and aheal the marine murdered (if he hadn't been attended to by medics,)

    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?
    globally OOC inform everyone that this is not a proper mutiny, and that rules present themselves that you should inform me of everyone apart of the mutiny, why you are doing a mutiny, and that you must give the aCO a chance to stand down. please follow the rules. Or further punishment may be handed out to those who continue. And if they're still stupid enough to try it without permission, I would mass asleep the mutineers, and handle them on a case by case basis. Of course, I would expect another staff member to be online. But if they aren't, I would try to get another one on before they do it so I am not left with the load on my desk.

    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.
    As much as it pains the unga community, duei n part to the new rules even such racist remarks are "strictly" forbidden. I cannot give leeway, and i'd have to be restrictive in such an event.

    A marine opens fire at round start in briefing killing multiple marines and instantly logs off.
    banned undoubtedly, this is obvious grand-stage griefing and I would show no leniency for someone who should not be in this community and obviously is here just to grief/break rules. And I'm pretty sure I could find out their Ckey. Whilst people have their right to be notified as per procedure. He is not sticking around to hear it so I wouldn't wait. This would be a 28 day ban unless he had previously done another 28 day ban in which i'd file for a perma after making another 28 day ban.

    You see a player playing a Xeno larva/chestburster run towards the frontlines straight from the Xeno hive the second they burst and die.
    this is against xenos roleplay standards, and i'd ask what they are doing. If they're new I'd send them the xenos guide, and noted, if they have done this before and noted many times, probably a light ban. If they do something else, probably a warning.

    You see a Xeno memeing, saying AYYLMAO, REEEEEE etc in hivemind chat, as well as insulting the Queen.
    I would pm them to stop doing it, considering the fact xenos are a hivemind and that you shouldn't insult the queen. Noted, (they would have to get many fucking notes for this to be a light ban, I'm not going to be that harsh.)

    A Xeno player calls the shuttle a "dropship". A different Xeno player ahelps that it's low role play to call it a "dropship".
    I would reply with "the xenos chat is just a translation into english of their thoughts, so this is acceptable (rule link")

    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 explain to the marine this is such a petty matter, and that i'd recommend you'd file it with a player report if you'd want a proper punishment to be dished out, although I would inform the CO and note him for this. But in a very brief manner if at all.

    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.
    whilst I say this would be allowed, I would still warn him for this and say so, because he should've just looked for another pod and not caused grief to another character IC cus it's a bit of a dick move.

    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'.
    Let them piss into the wind, see if I care.

    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?
    I inform the player that whilst this is frustrating, things like this happens. And when you go AFK you can't expect the round to pause for you.

    You see a fellow staff member give wrong information in an Adminhelp or incorrectly enforce a rule.
    I inform him about it in msay, and recommend he repeals or corrects what he said.

    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 let them both argue it out, but i'd recommend to the one taking issue maybe staff report if you think he did something wrong. Or, if I think one side is right, maybe recommend to uphold or repeal. We need to communicate as a 'team' (I groan...) don't we?

    Why would you like to become a moderator?


    no, but seriously. Meh, wanna help the community and maybe run some cool events in the future. What more do you need?

    In your opinion, what is the most important quality for a moderator?
    to be able to calm people down and inform someone, whilst also making informed decisions themselves

    Anything else you
    Yeah, sorry for the uh. Lack of grammar, who would guess making something on the backend of me being this late into being awake I could become unusually awful.

    Oh, and thanks for Grimreaper the absolute lovely lad who said applying to moderator isn't that hard. But time will tell if I have just failed this and that i'm fucking stupid or something I don't know

    And uh, yeah. This is heavily edited copypaste. from my previous denied application, fucked if i'm writing an essay when all my answers would be near photo-copies.

    And oh, about the whole discord note ordeal (why my first ahelp got denied) does it really have to be such a large and consequential matter? I think I didn't do wrong, Nanu did. I clashed. Nanu turned out to be right about his message. but wrong (I proposed at the time) about his sentencing. Nanu took that as me still saying he's wrong and i'm rules lawyering (which, in retrospect sort of was) and I got banned from discord. I won't do such things again because y'know Nanu will note me and like I need this denied a second time. I must concede Nanu's opinion is the opinion I must hither to due to it's unchanging nature and his experience. And who knows maybe he's correct. infallible, even.

    Now, how do I join the moderator stonemasons?

    Hello warfan,

    your application looks good and there are some points you could improve on in your training if and when you become a trial moderator.
    For instance telling the differences between a in character issue and out of character issue but over all you have potential so here is your +1.

    Minor issues with application can easily be resolved through a trial.
