ToasterStrudel Posted January 25, 2017 Posted January 25, 2017 Server Moderator Application Basic Information Byond Account: Toasterstrudes Character Name(s): M.A.K.E (Maintenance Tech), C.A.K.E (Chef), K.E.L.T (Research Director), Kar'lan Sel'ler (Engineering Apprentice). (my mains) AI Name(s): N/A Preferred means of contact: Can work with anything, Good with Discord, Skype, Carrier Pigeon, you name it. Age: 19 Timezone: EST (-5) When are you on Aurora?: Usually at night, and most days of the week. More so on the weekends. Experience How long have you played SS13?: I've been playing for about 1-2 years or so, on and off. How long have you played on Aurora: Started a few months ago. How much do you know about SS13 (Baystation build) game mechanics?: I'm still learning, but I know enough to be able to assist in any way that I can. Do you have any experience moderating for an SS13 server?: Sadly, I have not had much moderation experience. Have you ever been banned, and if so, how long and why?: Nope! Why do you play SS13?: I play it for enjoyment, its a good game to take your mind of of things, gives me a chance to escape the day-to-day hustle Why do you play on Aurora?: Though Aurora wasn't the first server I started on, its definitely is a place where I will stay. I enjoy the community of it. The Roleplay is held to a standard which I love, and the community outside of the game is entertaining as well. What do moderators do?: Depending on what the admin tells them, they do a lot of the smaller administration things, they are basically mini-administrators. Game-mods usually deal with dishing our warnings, helping with Ahelps, and the occasional bwoinking of the Greytide robuster trying to break into the armory. They are basically the little servants of the Admins, and ensure that everyone is following the rules. What does it mean to be a moderator for our community?: Much like what was said above, you're the peacekeepers of the server. You are there to help out where you are needed by the admins, and to ensure that everyone is following the rules. Why do you want to be a moderator?: Firstly because Alberyk told me I had to, Secondly I know that the moderating team is quickly getting outnumbered by the CCIAA and the Admins, and from my knowledge they are in need of some more people. I thought I would go ahead and chip in, see if I could help out. What qualities do you possess that would make you a good moderator?: I've got a lot of patience, as well as an ability to adapt to things as I go. How well do you handle stress, anger, or insults?: I've lived most of my life with everything on the list. I'm used to being stressed, (Can thank School, Family, Relationships, you name it!) so its something I've become keen on controlling. It really takes a lot to get me angry, even then I wouldn't let my anger get in the way of what i'm doing. Insults are another thing that don't really phase me, I've been called almost everything under the sun, the Internet and life have built a nice and thick skin for defense. Anything Else You Want to Add: Alberyk pressured me into it. plz demote. <3 Also thank you for the consideration!
Alberyk Posted February 5, 2017 Posted February 5, 2017 Interview with the player: Alberyk - Hoje às 01:03 Hello. Strudel - Hoje às 01:03 Hello Alberyk - Hoje às 01:03 I am doing the interview related to your mod application. Strudel - Hoje às 01:04 Alrighty! Alberyk - Hoje às 01:04 Alright, now, most of these questions will be posed in a, "what would you do in this scenario," fashion, some will have much more simple answers. If at any point, you'd like me to clarify on something, all you need do is ask. Ready to begin? Strudel - Hoje às 01:05 Ready Alberyk - Hoje às 01:05 First question. A new player joins with the character name "Tom Hanks", a bald 30 year old assistant. Our database show s their account is 2 days old. What do you do? Strudel - Hoje às 01:06 I would message them and ask why they have the name, to check and make sure they arn't a griefer. Alberyk - Hoje às 01:07 Anything else? Strudel - Hoje às 01:09 I'd offer for them a name change, seeing as it is probably a joke name, and ask them not to do it again, as its a high roleplay server. Alberyk - Hoje às 01:09 Got it. You receive an adminhelp from a player stating that they have been permabrigged for no reason. How do you respond? Strudel - Hoje às 01:10 I would ask who permabrigged them, to check in with the other player to see why. Alberyk - Hoje às 01:10 You are sitting in the lobby, working on your characters. It is dead hour. You are the only staff online. You suddenly see a flood of attack logs, originating from two sources. One is a player to recognize as a security player, using their well known security character. You don't really know them that well beyond this. The second is a name and a ckey you don't recognize. Both are shooting one another with lethal weapons, it seems. What do you do? Strudel - Hoje às 01:11 Are either of them antaged? Alberyk - Hoje às 01:11 No. Strudel - Hoje às 01:16 I would quickly question both of them, I don't know if Mods are able to wind but if I could I would wind both of them, and see if there is any real roleplay reason for them to be harming eachother. I would leave a note on both of them none-the-less saying that they were harming eachother without antag, and if theres no reason behind their attacks would leave that in the note aswell. In addition, if there was no roleplay reasoning, I would give them both warnings. (Unless it was self defense on one side) Alberyk - Hoje às 01:16 Alright. You receive an adminhelp suggesting that a player you know very well, but have never actually had to deal with as a moderator, is powergaming. A quick check of them shows that they, as an engineer, are engaged in combat with 5 heisters on the engineering outpost using improvised weapons they have made for themselves. A crossbow and a baseball bat. They are winning decisively. Three of the heisters are dead already. One is bleeding to death in crit. The last surviving heister is the one that sent the ahelp, and are currently fighting the engineer, but losing. You estimate in another thirty seconds at most, the engineer will have killed him too. What do you do? Strudel - Hoje às 01:23 I would contact the Engineer as quickly as I could, and tell them that they are an engineer, not security, they shouldn't be actively persuing antags, as it is powergaming. I would tell them to stop what they are doing, and would add a note/warning stating that they were told not to powergame seeing as they have already killed three and nearly a forth heister. If they didn't stop I would contact an Admin or someone in higher staff to assist in dealing with them. Alberyk - Hoje às 01:23 Alright, You receive an adminhelp suggesting that a player whom you consider yourself close with and a good friend to be metagrudging them as a head of staff. You are the only staff online, and no one is responding on Discord. How do you proceed? Strudel - Hoje às 01:24 The friend is metagrudging a head of staff, or the head of staff is metagrudging them? Alberyk - Hoje às 01:25 The friend is playing a head of staff, and the person that ahelped claim they are metragruding the person that ahelped Strudel - Hoje às 01:26 Ah, alright. I would ask how they were metagrudging, to see what they mean by it, and how it was happening.(editado) Alberyk - Hoje às 01:27 Lets say he says he is being demoted due to a legit mistake. Strudel - Hoje às 01:30 I would tell them that it isn't metagrudging, it was an IC issue that should be dealt with ICly, and would explain metagrudging is something different. I would then check with the Head to see if the demotion warranted a demotion, to ensure that it isn't something small causing someone to be demoted. Alberyk - Hoje às 01:30 Are there any forum-related duties you would be interested in taking up, assuming you reached the status of a full fledged moderator? Strudel - Hoje às 01:30 I'd be happy to help anywhere you guys would want/need me. Alberyk - Hoje às 01:30 Alright, a final question. If you were a staff member. Would you change something? Would you make something different? Staff policy, rules, etc. Strudel - Hoje às 01:37 I'm not sure if I have any major flaws I would like to fix, The only problems i've faced have either been minor enough to not warrent anything or have been fixed. I would like to see more CCIA intervention with the server, I don't see events with them as much anymore. So if I could, it would be more of that. I feel it would bring a lot more roleplay possibilities into the server. Alberyk - Hoje às 01:38 Are you against me posting this interview in your mod application thread on the forums? Strudel - Hoje às 01:39 Nope! Alberyk - Hoje às 01:39 That is all thanks. Strudel - Hoje às 01:39 Alrighty, thank you
