Common Staff Situations
A player randomly shoots someone at round start and MPs have detained him. If the player is new i will give him a note and discuss with the mp's about his punishment ic.
However, if this player is not new, i'll have to talk with him about why he did it and stating the rules why he is gonna get punished for ( always giving him the reason of why i'm punish him, so he can reform and understand the rules. )
About the players who got shot depending on his state, I will aheal ( if it's just minor wounds I will let the medic handle it ic, and about broken bones I will probably give him the aheal.)
A player ahelps that a predator has violated the honor code when killing him, what should you do? This is a whitelist issue, and that is another department however i will recommend the player to do an player report and let the yautja councils decide the punishment
You see a player walking around the ship naked and clearly lost at roundstart. I handled some new guys ( because this is actually some new guy that doesnt know where to go) ic telling him all they need and where to go ( if he still doesn't understand) i call the sea's and even mentor help so they can guide it.
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 will apply rule 0.2 , tell him to stop arguing / Insulting staff isn't tolerated.
me being mad and rude at the other person is not the way of discussing/arguing things
A player ahelps that a marine is named 'John Doe', how do you deal with this? Rule 9. Character names
Nicknames should not be considered a meme and also ranked, titled, honorific, offensive, famous and pop-culture names are not allowed, so i will tell him to change his ic name to a proper one by choice of the player.
If he refuses to change his nickname he will be punished by this rule.
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'll check notes to see the conduct of this player and if I don't see anything bad let it go, Unless he starts griefing and doing mutiny's without staff approval.
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? First of all i talk to the survivor if there was any proper escalation if not i will remind him that survivors are not allowed to be hostile against marines and apply a note or jobban (punishment really depends on the conduct and notes of this survivor), about the marine i will give him aheal.
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 will contact the mp and talk about why he did it, what this player did to him and state to me what marine law he applied to put this player in permanent confinement.
If the player goes into permanent confinement for no proper reason, I will check the notes and conduct of the mp and do a jobban or a note depending on his notes/ conduct also telling him to free that player.
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? Options are limited here, so i will tell xenos as QM to do an attempt and assault the ship or cause a hijack
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? First of all , I'll call him ic and tell him that he is doing things wrong.
Then check if it's a new medic (playtime) and his notes to see his conduct, properly checking if it was a misunderstanding or just a griefer and apply rule 4 if he is griefing.
The round ends, a Marine starts shooting a hostile CLF member and the CLF member ahelps about being killed after the round ended. Remind the player that his faction is hostile against uscm, so he had a reason to.
i don't take actions
A Marine is running around disarming, punching and stealing gear at round start. You receive an ahelp from one of the victims. I'd tell the player to stop this bad behaviour and also the player who got disarmed and punched can call the mp's and get rid of this issue ic.
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. First of all, see if the marine got killed or injured really badly by punches / any harm intent, if not , its improper escalation and the marine who killed the other will be banned and noted.
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? Tell them to stop in MOOC, because is not approved by the staff team
''If the mutiny does not have a valid reason, it can't happen. Staff reserve the right to grant or deny mutinies, and to decide if the reason given is sufficient.''
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. Tell them to immediately stop this behaviour, racism is not allowed, I expect this person to be reasonable and stop when I tell them to.
if not i will have to apply rule 3 ''Racism, the use of slurs and other targeting terms or phrases is strictly forbidden and will not be tolerated.'' noting them.
A marine opens fire at round start in briefing killing multiple marines and instantly logs off. This is a griefer, apply rule 4 No griefing.
Aheal all the marines who got killed and banned and noted the griefer.
You see a player playing a Xeno larva/chestburster run towards the frontlines straight from the Xeno hive the second they burst and die. I would ask the larva why he went to the frontline as a larva , add a note to keep an eye and if he repeats this I will ban him. Rule 2 ''larva should typically remain within the Hive and avoid the frontlines.''
You see a Xeno memeing, saying AYYLMAO, REEEEEE etc in hivemind chat, as well as insulting the Queen. Rule 2 , Language ''Spamming "Reeeee" and similar such behaviour in Hivemind or Local Chat is not allowed.'' this behaviour is not tolerated and is lrp and i will note him for netspeak
About the xeno insulting the queen it can be handled ic... the queen can just banish him.
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 explain the player that ahelped that is totally ok and not against the rules. (how else we should call the dropship then)
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. Note him since they don't know what enemy they're gonna face groundside.
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. This situation is actually exceptional and I would let it pass if the area was unsafe and xenos were approaching the pods. (is a life or death situation that's why I say it is an exceptional circumstance.)
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'. this is way too far, a really bad behaviour, first of all i will tell him personally to stop if he dont i will apply rule 0.2 and ban him and obviously note him.
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? Really nothing to do here, there may be some exceptions if the server is literally dying but I wouldn't take any action since everyone is affected by it.
You see a fellow staff member give wrong information in an Adminhelp or incorrectly enforce a rule. We have to pass this issue to a manager and the manager will see from his perspective the right answer and solve it.
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? inform higher rank staff so they can handle this and give a better solution to this.
Why would you like to become a moderator? I'd like to help the community and be more on the side of players and help them with any issue they have.
In your opinion, what is the most important quality for a moderator? Being Respectful , Patience , and sometimes understanding the other person.
Anything else you Javier Handford, Real Fragger.
