    Did you really take time to read others applications? or you just speedran through this form and applied for moderator?

    Theres a lot of wrong answers and there wasnt even any instances of you informing the player on what rule they broke in the answers or putting a note on them.
    Do you realize that its part of the moderator protocol of informing someone of what rule they broke and pinning notes to them?

    If this was a real job application no one would hire you. Put actual effort on your application. Usually i criticize people for their answers but this is just way too low effort.

    I'll go through the answers here one at a time from my perspective. Stay with me.

    Not really what is asked. It's good that you're able to staff everyday but that can be anything between 1-2 hours to 7 hours or so per day. Please be more precise, if possible. Schedules of people are important.

    Way too short of an answer. You COULD be meaning the right thing here, but it's not at all clear. A Player may have accidentally fired their gun and shot someone and MPs detained them for that - this is an IC issue. A Player may have deliberately killed someone and ignored escalation rules - an OOC issue. In any case, the player is already handcuffed so there's literally no reason to asleep them. Ahealing the killed player is viable if it was, in fact, improper escalation or grief. But you didn't go into detail here at all. You have to actually investigate and question people about what happened, don't just fire blindly and aheal/asleep people.

    Wrong. Predators - just like COs and Synths - are whitelists and therefore the issue of their respective Councils. If a player ahelps about a Pred breaking HC, then you have to tell them it's a WL issue and that you can't take action. Inform them to make a player report or inform a Councillor directly via Discord. Give them the relevant Predator's ckey if they want to do so. Unless a whitelisted player is breaking SERVER RULES (i.e. a CO is being racist), you can't do anything.

    Informing an SEA if they're playing is a good call. However, remember that moderators and beyond ALSO have access to playing SEA. If you see a new player, you can fill the empty SEA slot yourself and train them. Messaging them alone won't do much usually. Also, SEAs aren't Gunnery Sergeants and haven't been for about a month or two.

    This question isn't referring to a 'Marine' player, just a player, so I don't know why you're talking about Marine here. That aside, we have a rule that does not tolerate arguing and insulting staff in DMs. If someone feels like your ruling is bad and not correct, you should inform them to make a Staff Report. You DO NOT agree to their demand of speaking to an Admin or Manager. If you DM someone, and make a ruling, then that ruling is final. If they have an issue with that ruling, they can make a Report on the Forums. If a player insists on insulting you, you are well within your right to give them a 3 Hour chill-pill ban.

    Again - way too brief, I feel. Obviously this name is a gag name and not acceptable. But what rule does this violate exactly? What do you tell the player EXACTLY? What if the player argues their name isn't a joke name and refuses to admit to change it?

    This is, in of itself, an IC issue. MPs should arrest the MT for wearing armour and wearing a rifle when the ship hasn't been endangered. It only becomes an OOC issue if the MT deploys planetside to frontline, which shipside crew are NOT allowed to do. In no case, however, is this 'griefing', and there is no case in which you would asleep them. Wrong answer.

    Again way too brief. You are completely unaware of investigating an incident and properly communicating with players, judging by these sorts of answers. You have to inform the Survivor that being hostile to Marines as a survivor is NOT allowed anymore, though it was allowed in the past. In any case the killed Marine can receive an aheal due to it being grief. Depending on the Survivor's notes, they can receive either a note about being warned about this, or a survivor ban outright.

    You have to be more descriptive. This case can go either way - is the brigged marine omitting facts to you in ahelps, and in reality they shot someone in Req, which might warrant permabrig? Or did the MP misjudge the case and perma them on a false charge? This is why you have to investigate these things, and ask both parties. If the MP is indeed wrong, then you tell them via Admin PMs to release the brigged player, warn them, or jobban them from MP if they have a note history of doing this sort of stuff. Informing Command is not necessary in this case. You can also try to resolve this ICly by having a Provost sent.

    - Spawn xeno ERT on the ship?
    No. Moderators don't have the power to spawn ERTs to begin with, but even if so, just because both sides want to be careful doesn't mean you should outright grief them by sending a hostile ERT to screw them over. Seriously try a different approach to this question by looking at other answers on other applications.

    - Asleep MP and jobban, with a warning.
    I.. what? Ok first of all, MP jobban? This question is about a SQUAD MEDIC, not a MP. Second, unless the guy is actively running around ODing people en masse and is thus mass-griefing, you don't asleep them.

    MOST IMPORTANTLY: You DO NOT respond to in-game issues as staff which you are involved in. You are a Medic, and are witnessing possible griefing. You DO NOT Admin PM the person and punish them, because you are almost inevitably going to be biased that way. You ahelp the issue and let A DIFFERENT staff member deal with the issue, or if there are no staff online, you player report them on the forums after the round. ONLY if it is actual mass grief and no other staff can respond quickly can you asleep them and take action, but even then you SHOULD NOT do so unless utterly required.

    This question alone is so important that, if you get it wrong, you may fail the application process entirely because it deals with personal involvement in incidents. You're completely unaware of staff procedure on this part, and apparently didn't even read the question carefully since you refer to the Medic as an MP. Wrong on all accounts.

    Wrong. CLF is a hostile faction and therefore doesn't count as EORG if they shoot you, or you shoot them. The same applies to UPP or the various Deathsquads and whatnot. Wrong answer.

    Possible IC issue. Observe the reported player and check their notes. You can inform MPs so that he is dealt with ICly, but unless the person who is stealing gear has a history of doing so via notes, or is stealing high-priority, rare gear (like Spec kits) you don't have to take action, most likely. Asleeping is not warranted in any case.

    - Warn player for inproper escalation.
    In of itself correct, but keep in mind that you have to check notes and circumstance. It may be more - or less - malicious depending on the circumstance of the murder, and their notes may show them as having a history of ignoring escalation. You have to escalate appropriately.

    An improper mutiny is a HUGE OOC issue, and therefore a ERT is NOT the right answer. You immediately need to make an MOOC announcement that the mutiny was NOT approved and is not legal. If anyone continues despite this, asleep them and DM them. We don't tolerate this sort of stuff and mutinies are a huge thing if they're not approved.

    IC racism and bigotry is ABSOLUTELY NOT ALLOWED. I don't know who told you that we allowed racism and bigotry, but we ABSOLUTELY do not, and have a zero tolerance policy towards it. If someone reports racist or other such things, you respond to that appropriately. Read our rules about this, PLEASE.

    Not wrong. Ahealing is correct either way, but you should check if the offender was possibly multikeying or the like. Filing for a permaban due to this is a possible thing to do, however.

    How do you 'warn' someone while at the same time jobbanning them...? That aside, look at the player's notes, and DM them to see how they react to it. If they're being defensive about it and don't see what they did wrong, it might be right to escalate, but otherwise this usually just results in a note if it's a first-case offender.

    Quote Originally Posted by Cpkeyes View Post

    Correct, but make sure to DM them beforehand. Tell them that netspeak is not allowed and that Xenos HAVE to obey the Queen.

    That's because this isn't a rule at all, anymore. It's perfectly within the rules nowadays for xenos to use terms like OB, APC, Dropship and so on. Inform the reporting player that it's not LRP and within RP guidelines. No action taken against the reported xeno.

    Marines know Xenomorphs as a species exist, but they do NOT know that there are Xenomorphs specifically on the planet before they deploy. This is metagamey and LRP and you should inform the Command player to not make xeno comments before encountering them.

    Correct, this is one of the few examples of when killing another person is valid.

    I'm once again clueless how you plan on 'warning' someone while also banning them. But yeah, if someone is hellbent on harassing and insulting you whenever and wherever they can, they can eat a chill pill.

    Correct, but an explanation would have been nice. We don't offer SSD protection to people, so in this case it's their fault for going SSD near the front.

    If another staff member makes a mistake, you should point it out to them via moderator chat, as you referred to. But you CANNOT correct them. It's up to them to accept your advice or not, and if they don't you should DM their respective Manager on Discord and bring the case to their attention.

    - Attempt to keep the discussion civil and try to reach a moderator.
    Similarly to the above, keeping things civil while talking is very important. However, as before, if you earnestly believe another staff member misinterpreted the rules and did something wrong, you can (and should) reach out to their Manager so they can look into it.

    Well look, I love events too and I'm sure it's a part of why most people here become staff. But this should really not be your flagship on becoming a moderator. Staff DO run events, yes, but that's not their actual "duty". Their mainstay duty is to enforce the rules and keep up player enjoyment by doing so. This, to me, and especially combined with your lackluster answers, makes me think you want to run events first and do your actual staff work second. That's not ok.

    Quote Originally Posted by Cpkeyes View Post

    Again, running events is fine but you can't do that on your own until you reach Senior Moderator anyway. What are you gonna do until then? Your main job will ALWAYS be moderation work either in-game or on the forums here... and you strike me as someone who just wants to have the badge to run funny events, nothing more.


    Overall your answers are absolutely not up to standards. You don't seem to know Staff Conduct, Staff Guidelines for handling incidents, or even the Server Rules to a degree. You also appear to not have even taken this seriously by not reading some questions thoroughly and thus giving wrong answers. Additionally, your main motivation here seems to be 'I want to run events' which is a big negative for you in this case. With answers this bad, you give me a big impression of a person who doesn't want to do actual staff work and moderation, but rather just wants to do silly events.

    Dropping a major -1. Please re-apply at a later date, read over accepted moderator applications, re-read our Server Rules, and read our Staff Guidelines.

    Failed to list previous apps too. //showthrea...ja-Application

    Notes, ingame, forum, and on discord are clean, short of a minor but very recent note.

    Read other apps. Your answers are not terrible, but enough are wrong, this is if we overlook the brevity of them, and assume the mising bits as correct. -1.

Or did the MP misjudge the case and perma them on a false charge? This is why you have to investigate these things, and ask both parties. If the MP is indeed wrong, then you tell them via Admin PMs to release the brigged player, warn them, or jobban them from MP if they have a note history of doing this sort of stuff. Informing Command is not necessary in this case. You can also try to resolve this ICly by having a Provost sent.



    No. Moderators don't have the power to spawn ERTs to begin with, but even if so, just because both sides want to be careful doesn't mean you should outright grief them by sending a hostile ERT to screw them over. Seriously try a different approach to this question by looking at other answers on other applications.



    I.. what? Ok first of all, MP jobban? This question is about a SQUAD MEDIC, not a MP. Second, unless the guy is actively running around ODing people en masse and is thus mass-griefing, you don't asleep them.

    MOST IMPORTANTLY: You DO NOT respond to in-game issues as staff which you are involved in. You are a Medic, and are witnessing possible griefing. You DO NOT Admin PM the person and punish them, because you are almost inevitably going to be biased that way. You ahelp the issue and let A DIFFERENT staff member deal with the issue, or if there are no staff online, you player report them on the forums after the round. ONLY if it is actual mass grief and no other staff can respond quickly can you asleep them and take action, but even then you SHOULD NOT do so unless utterly required.

    This question alone is so important that, if you get it wrong, you may fail the application process entirely because it deals with personal involvement in incidents. You're completely unaware of staff procedure on this part, and apparently didn't even read the question carefully since you refer to the Medic as an MP. Wrong on all accounts.



    Wrong. CLF is a hostile faction and therefore doesn't count as EORG if they shoot you, or you shoot them. The same applies to UPP or the various Deathsquads and whatnot. Wrong answer.



    Possible IC issue. Observe the reported player and check their notes. You can inform MPs so that he is dealt with ICly, but unless the person who is stealing gear has a history of doing so via notes, or is stealing high-priority, rare gear (like Spec kits) you don't have to take action, most likely. Asleeping is not warranted in any case.



    In of itself correct, but keep in mind that you have to check notes and circumstance. It may be more - or less - malicious depending on the circumstance of the murder, and their notes may show them as having a history of ignoring escalation. You have to escalate appropriately.



    An improper mutiny is a HUGE OOC issue, and therefore a ERT is NOT the right answer. You immediately need to make an MOOC announcement that the mutiny was NOT approved and is not legal. If anyone continues despite this, asleep them and DM them. We don't tolerate this sort of stuff and mutinies are a huge thing if they're not approved.



    IC racism and bigotry is ABSOLUTELY NOT ALLOWED. I don't know who told you that we allowed racism and bigotry, but we ABSOLUTELY do not, and have a zero tolerance policy towards it. If someone reports racist or other such things, you respond to that appropriately. Read our rules about this, PLEASE.



    Not wrong. Ahealing is correct either way, but you should check if the offender was possibly multikeying or the like. Filing for a permaban due to this is a possible thing to do, however.



    How do you 'warn' someone while at the same time jobbanning them...? That aside, look at the player's notes, and DM them to see how they react to it. If they're being defensive about it and don't see what they did wrong, it might be right to escalate, but otherwise this usually just results in a note if it's a first-case offender.



    Correct, but make sure to DM them beforehand. Tell them that netspeak is not allowed and that Xenos HAVE to obey the Queen.



    That's because this isn't a rule at all, anymore. It's perfectly within the rules nowadays for xenos to use terms like OB, APC, Dropship and so on. Inform the reporting player that it's not LRP and within RP guidelines. No action taken against the reported xeno.



    Marines know Xenomorphs as a species exist, but they do NOT know that there are Xenomorphs specifically on the planet before they deploy. This is metagamey and LRP and you should inform the Command player to not make xeno comments before encountering them.



    Correct, this is one of the few examples of when killing another person is valid.



    I'm once again clueless how you plan on 'warning' someone while also banning them. But yeah, if someone is hellbent on harassing and insulting you whenever and wherever they can, they can eat a chill pill.



    Correct, but an explanation would have been nice. We don't offer SSD protection to people, so in this case it's their fault for going SSD near the front.



    If another staff member makes a mistake, you should point it out to them via moderator chat, as you referred to. But you CANNOT correct them. It's up to them to accept your advice or not, and if they don't you should DM their respective Manager on Discord and bring the case to their attention.



    Similarly to the above, keeping things civil while talking is very important. However, as before, if you earnestly believe another staff member misinterpreted the rules and did something wrong, you can (and should) reach out to their Manager so they can look into it.



    Well look, I love events too and I'm sure it's a part of why most people here become staff. But this should really not be your flagship on becoming a moderator. Staff DO run events, yes, but that's not their actual "duty". Their mainstay duty is to enforce the rules and keep up player enjoyment by doing so. This, to me, and especially combined with your lackluster answers, makes me think you want to run events first and do your actual staff work second. That's not ok.



    Again, running events is fine but you can't do that on your own until you reach Senior Moderator anyway. What are you gonna do until then? Your main job will ALWAYS be moderation work either in-game or on the forums here... and you strike me as someone who just wants to have the badge to run funny events, nothing more.


    Overall your answers are absolutely not up to standards. You don't seem to know Staff Conduct, Staff Guidelines for handling incidents, or even the Server Rules to a degree. You also appear to not have even taken this seriously by not reading some questions thoroughly and thus giving wrong answers. Additionally, your main motivation here seems to be 'I want to run events' which is a big negative for you in this case. With answers this bad, you give me a big impression of a person who doesn't want to do actual staff work and moderation, but rather just wants to do silly events.

    Dropping a major -1. Please re-apply at a later date, read over accepted moderator applications, re-read our Server Rules, and read our Staff Guidelines.
    Thank you for the criticism and notes on how I could’ve answered the question better. I will be sure to keep these into account if I ever make an all again (I’m pretty sure it’s obvious we’re this is going)

    I’ll also admit, I’m kind of a blunt person and short worded person with answers. But again, thank you for going into detail.

    Answers are rushed and not detailed. Also a lot of them are wrong.

    I'm going to decline your application on this occasion but you are free to file another moderator application from the 08th of January onwards.

    Please work on your questions more. Really think about the questions and take on the feedback you've been given from lilpenpusher. This level of brevity is too much and it makes me wonder how you'd handle dealing with the playerbase.

    Thanks for trying anyway
