    Common Staff Situations

    A player randomly shoots someone at round start and MPs have detained him.
    Well, I'd open a PM with the victim/victims and try to get a basic run down of the situation, after that I would open a PM with the shooter asking why he did it, if he can't provide a realistic reason to shoot his fellow soldiers after exiting cryosleep, I would apply a punishment based on note history.

    A player ahelps that a predator has violated the honor code when killing him, what should you do?
    Inform the player that I personally cannot punish them ( unless they're blatantly griefing) and direct them to the fourms/ Council for further investigation

    You see a player walking around the ship naked and clearly lost at roundstart.
    I would politely ask mentorchat if anyone is able to spawn in as SEA to guide the new marine, if I don't get a reply, I would open a PM with him, providing information on how to mentorhelp, I would also give him a link to the wikis marine guide.

    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.
    First, I would check their notes, after doing so I would inform them that if they're unhappy with my actions they can open a staff report about it on the forums, (applying note based on context)

    A player ahelps that a marine is named 'John Doe', how do you deal with this?
    Inform him that the name John Doe is a breach of our naming rules and ask him what he would rather be named, if no name is provided, give him a random name, I would then check his notes, if he had a previous note for it, apply another and inform him that he could face further punishment if he doesn't change it. If he had no previous note, I would apply a note based on how they handled the PM

    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.
    I would check his notes for deployment breaches ( deploying to front line as MT doctor ect) if he's clear of notes, leave it to the MPs to deal with.

    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?
    Inform the survivor that HOSTILE survivors have been removed, check his note history for cases of IE, if he has a history, apply ban for 3 hours, I would then Aheal the marine

    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.
    I would PM the MP, player and REQ staff for their stories, double check logs, provided the stories/logs point towards MP incompetence, look up players logs, if he has a history of this, I would use ARES/FAX systems to get the marine released and apply a MP jban. If the logs/stories show actual permabriggable crimes being committed, inform him that the MP has done nothing wrong.

    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 would use ARES to inform the planet still shows active lifeforms, if this fails, fax CIC informing them that mission completion is top priority, while also telling them they'll get a bonus check if they get it done in top-speeds

    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 ask for staff assistance like any other player, noone should handle their own tickets

    The round ends, a Marine starts shooting a hostile CLF member and the CLF member ahelps about being killed after the round ended.
    Inform them that it's a IC issue, EORG is for friendly fire.

    A Marine is running around disarming, punching and stealing gear at round start. You receive an ahelp from one of the victims.
    Check notes/logs, if items of high value are stolen, inform the player they must return them, apply note/ban based on history.

    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.
    Check his notes, inform him to follow escalation rules, apply note/ temp ban

    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?
    Use MOOC to inform them that the mutiny isn't official/approved and that it could lead towards punishments being handed out

    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.
    Inform the 9 players that racism isn't tolerated here, even if it's considered "roleplay", apply notes based on history.

    A marine opens fire at round start in briefing killing multiple marines and instantly logs off.
    apply a heavy warning and a 30 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.
    Check player notes for a history of this, if no history is found, apply note. If he has a history of this, apply temp/jban

    You see a Xeno memeing, saying AYYLMAO, REEEEEE etc in hivemind chat, as well as insulting the Queen.
    Inform them that this is a MRP server, check notes, apply note/temp based on history

    A Xeno player calls the shuttle a "dropship". A different Xeno player ahelps that it's low role play to call it a "dropship".
    Inform the player terms like dropship and sadar are completely allowed, xeno language being a 1-1 translation due to them being a hivemind

    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.
    Investigate logs, inform the command member you're not informed of what threat awaits unless specified through events.

    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.
    Investigate logs, leave it as a IC issue.

    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'.
    Inform them that they can open a staff report about it.

    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 him I cannot abuse my powers and that he must fix it ICly

    You see a fellow staff member give wrong information in an Adminhelp or incorrectly enforce a rule.
    Point out mistakes to them/management based on severity

    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?
    Remain neutral, inform the parties that they should contact management.

    Why would you like to become a moderator?
    I have alot of experience with the rules on this server.

    I'm great at communicating with the community and i'm sure I can use these skills to improve the overall quality of this server

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

    Anything else you
    I love CM
    PS... My only way of communication is via forum PMs or discord

    Don't think I've ever seen Strob ever create problems in the CM community and I see him talk to staff a lot about rules so you know he keeps up to date.
    Top fella +1

    I hate to be emotional but...
    Strobbers is a very heartfelt man, he feels relatable like your grandfather. He just has this warm aura where anybody can like him and its just so clear that anybody who doesn't like him simply doesn't know him well. When I first met strobia on discord he seemed so scary, so many stories of him doing insane acts such as killing preds but really he is a heartfelt man who places common sense above all...something we could really use in these times... +1...
