GeneralCamo Posted February 16, 2023 Posted February 16, 2023 Server Moderator Application Basic Information Byond Account: GeneralCamo Character Name(s): Abdul ibn Turkiel Comoe Oulai-Tape AI Name(s): No whitelist Discord username + tag: GeneralCamo#4928 Age: 25 Timezone: UTC-5 When are you on Aurora?: Generally I try to be on around evenings my time, though I do try to make time for events and similar. Experience How long have you played SS13?: I have played constantly for about 3 years, though I did make an account earlier for some one-offs How long have you played on Aurora: 2 years How much do you know about SS13 (Baystation build) game mechanics?: Most of my time has been spent either here, or on Bay. I am highly familiar with its mechanics. Do you have any experience moderating for an SS13 server?: No Have you read through the criteria thread; https://forums.aurorastation.org/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=4198 - and believe that you mark off all the criteria?: Yes Have you ever been banned, and if so, how long and why?: No, not on any SS13 server for that matter. Personality Why do you play SS13?: Generally I meet some pretty cool people here. I also do like exploring a different, unfamiliar setting, in a relatively detailed game that really can't be matched anywhere else. Why do you play on Aurora?: Aurora is a decent HRP server, and while I played on bay for most of my history, I eventually made this my main server after the NBT was released, and its activity has always been a high point for me. What do moderators do?: Moderators not only uphold the ruleset of the server, but also maintain the safety and integrity of their community where possible. In the case of SS13, they are also generally senior members who are highly familiar with the mechanics of the current server. What does it mean to be a moderator for our server?: As above, but with the additional role of maintaining the general atmosphere, and setting of the server. Why do you want to be a moderator?: Honestly I wasn't sure I wanted to be a moderator. However, ReadThisNamePlz encouraged me to sign up, and upon further consideration I -do- care about this community, and I have prior experience moderating not on this game specifically, but for other communities and other games. I believe I can genuinely improve the community as a whole. What qualities do you possess that would make you a good moderator?: Generally I try to keep an open mind, and consider multiple perspectives on things. I do have an eye for detail, although admittedly that can backfire as well. How well do you handle stress, anger, or insults?: I generally do not get angry over SS13. If I am stressed, I stay away entirely. Insults, I've taken a lot. I can handle them. Anything Else You Want to Add: I'll admit this will be a new experience for me. But I'm willing to assist the community, and learn along the way.
Kintsugi Posted February 18, 2023 Posted February 18, 2023 I don't really think you have the temperament or right mindset to be a server moderator. I personally feel that you have a tendency to always argue a point no matter what, with the end goal of proving yourself right, even over minor disputes or disagreements. I don't think that is the right sort of mindset for a moderator to have.
Carver Posted February 18, 2023 Posted February 18, 2023 I will note, in one discussion on Discord with GeneralCamo when I'd posted evidence of his assumption on some matter or another being incorrect- he seemed quite understanding and cordial. I don't know him well enough to truly give a +1 or -1 committed level of feedback given the significance of a staff position, but I had to step in to mention that recent positive interaction.
