Kaed Posted April 17, 2016 Posted April 17, 2016 (edited) Server Moderator Application Basic Information Byond Account: Kaedwuff Character Name(s): Kaed Maltivus Ickthar Slithiss Esisshesi Ssreshkor Korassh Guwan Inesski Sslasskir Ssalashtar Intesski Tssara Svydia S'nesshi Izweski AI Name(s): LEMON Preferred means of contact: Discord, Skype (on request), Byond Age: 28 Timezone: CST When are you on Aurora?: Most of the time. Except late at night, in CST Experience I've been a moderator on three different servers, and briefly a host and administrator on a server I inherited from someone else. I have extensive experience with using byond/SS13 formats How long have you played SS13?: Since 2014 How long have you played on Aurora: Since 2015 How much do you know about SS13 (Baystation build) game mechanics?: A whole lot of things, though notably I'm sketchy on virology and atmos, and obviously there are some mechanics I sometimes discover I didn't know about. Do you have any experience moderating for an SS13 server?: Yes. Have you ever been banned, and if so, how long and why?: Never, beyond 1 minute joke bans by admins on other servers. Personality Why do you play SS13?: Because I enjoy the roleplay enviroment, and the hisslords. Why do you play on Aurora?: Because it's the only server I have found that I enjoy AND has a consistently high population with antags being involved What do moderators do?: Moderators get to talk to players regarding rule and IC issues and are allowed to look like they might have the ability to make changes in-game or fix stuff but in actuality usually are unable to do much except answer faxes and SM because admins get all the debugging/varedit/spawn commands. What does it mean to be a moderator for our server?: Presumably to help manage the workloard that happens during high population. I have never seen how many adminhelps you guys get, but presumably it is a lot if you are hiring this hard. Why do you want to be a moderator?: I like being able to help out with the function of a server, and having an insight into how the management handles things might give me opportunities to make improving suggestions directly, or at the very least lighten some of the worldload. What qualities do you possess that would make you a good moderator?: I think I've got a level head and some decent ability to make good decisions. Also, as stated, I have previous modding experience. How well do you handle stress, anger, or insults?: It's pretty hard to upset me by direct insult. Usually I get upset more because of something I see that seems unfair or annoying than because someone is mad at me. Usually if I've been stressed for a while I need a little bit to cool off, but that happens quickly. I'm not really the lingering grudge type. Anything Else You Want to Add: (Do not put words here) Less memes please. This server has a problem with memeing so bad that it bleeds into IC situations. It's getting tiresome.

Gollee Posted April 17, 2016 Posted April 17, 2016 Just from the Anything Else You Want to Add: section, I am liking this. You seem to have a good head on your shoulders, but you might want to fill in the rest of the format.

Guest Posted April 17, 2016 Posted April 17, 2016 Kaed and I have had more than a few discussions in regards to admin/mod/code/mapping/game balance/younameit. We can't always agree on everything but we've had plenty of interesting, civil discussions. I can definitely say he has a good head on his shoulders and he'd be a good addition to the staff team. The memes do need to die, though. I hope you have a plan of action if and when you become a full mod when it comes to that.
Kaed Posted April 18, 2016 Author Posted April 18, 2016 Byond name, character names, AI names, preferred method of contact. The top four lines. I am completely baffled with myself that I missed those entirely after looking over the form like 4 times. Wow. Herp. Fixed. The memes do need to die, though. I hope you have a plan of action if and when you become a full mod when it comes to that. If I have access to turning off OOC I will bloody do it if the memes get too bad. THIS IS A NO MEME ZONE NOW. ALL MEMES WILL BE SILENCED. See, you can't just say no memes and expect people to stop. You have to show them there are consequences to them. Eventually, they are trained to stop, like a dog peeing in your carpet.
Serveris Posted May 24, 2016 Posted May 24, 2016 Moderatorship trial period initiated on May 24th, 2016. Period will conclude on June 24th, where a decision will be made on staff depending on how this goes. Good luck!
Shadow Posted May 29, 2016 Posted May 29, 2016 Was a good staffmember on Aphelion and is generally an amazing person, although I don't play anymore he has my support.
Serveris Posted June 26, 2016 Posted June 26, 2016 Application denied, as of 6.24.16. If you would like additional details concerning the specifics behind this decision, feel free to contact myself or another administrator privately. Don't let this discourage you from reapplying again in the future, but we ask you wait at least one month before doing so. Best of luck to you in your other endeavors.
