DatBerry Posted June 3, 2017 Posted June 3, 2017 Server Moderator Application Basic Information Byond Account: DatBerry Character Name(s): AI Name(s): N/A Preferred means of contact: Discord. Age: 18 Timezone: GMT+2 When are you on Aurora?: a lot. Experience How long have you played SS13?: about 2 years. How long have you played on Aurora: over a year. How much do you know about SS13 (Baystation build) game mechanics?: a fair bit in all departments. Do you have any experience moderating for an SS13 server?: yes, here. Have you ever been banned, and if so, how long and why?: never banned here. Personality Why do you play SS13?: At first i sticked around for the complexity of the game, but now the main reason i come back is the people here. Why do you play on Aurora?: same as the above, i find the community here better. What do moderators do?: They ensure the spirit of the rules are upheld, they have many jobs, mostly just banning, they also help mentor and sometimes solve OOC conflict between players. What does it mean to be a moderator for our server?: not too different from above. Why do you want to be a moderator?: I still see some times of the day where there is a lack of moderators, and whenever i observe i find myself ahelping a lot of issues. I think I'd be of more use on the team. What qualities do you possess that would make you a good moderator?: I am not too stuck up, or atleast like to believe, I don't have issues with handing off issues if I'm involved or taking over another issue, I also do not shy away from bwoinking people when needed, even if they'll give me a headache. How well do you handle stress, anger, or insults?: pretty good. Anything Else You Want to Add:
AWPen Posted June 3, 2017 Posted June 3, 2017 Yes yes yes. Datberry is a respectable member of the server and I will give my full support to him. He is cool, unbiased and in my eyes would make an amazing addition to the server/ +1
Bygonehero Posted June 3, 2017 Posted June 3, 2017 Despite our complex relations in the past I feel you've been fairer than most and are usually the first to point out rule violations and bad play. I'm +1ing this but I'm curious as to why you want to rejoin moderation again? You don't have to answer if you don't want to it's just really strange for me. I was under the impression you were basically a moderator without being a moderator, did something warrant putting on the badge again?

I was under the impression you were basically a moderator without being a moderator, did something warrant putting on the badge again? i retired after getting busy irl, when I was free again the staff team was full. though lately there has been stretches of time that would only have 2 or so mods, my ahelps were also mostly answered by admins last night or the one before it had me ahelping 4-5 times in one round while observing, so i thought instead of adding to the workload i could help with it.
HouseOfSynth Posted June 4, 2017 Posted June 4, 2017 Staff have decided to give you an interview which will be conducted by myself (House_Of_Synth).. I'll be PMing you on discord shortly to make arrangements.
HouseOfSynth Posted June 5, 2017 Posted June 5, 2017 Interview concluded. Berry decided he'd rather keep the transcript behind closed doors therefore it will not be posted here.
DatBerry Posted August 2, 2017 Author Posted August 2, 2017 Withdrawing the application mainly due to my internet taking a turn for the worst for almost a month now with no sign of improving, haven't been able to login for longer than 5 minutes, and there's already good people filling and willing to fill any more spots opening in the future so I don't think I'm needed. I was disappointed at first when I wasn't picked, I used to login 4 hours every day minimum, averaging around 5-6 hours every day, there were days I would login and stay on from morning to midnight and as far I know I was at least average, no one ever actually talked to me about any issues they had with me, the two staff complaints I got had the staff's support too as far as I know, so when they decide almost completely to pick someone who plays with OOC off all the time, plays three-four times or so a week (no offense to them) it felt like all the effort I put in my time was spat on and thrown out of the window and I can't really understand why unless they either A: never logged in enough to notice how active i used to be, B: had issues with me, which they never brought up. C: simply disliked me, which I haven't seen any signs. Pikl and Ezuo are great picks though, and I don't have any issues with them, and they would probably outperform me in anything other than having no life. end of rant, just wanted to talk my mind.
Garnascus Posted August 6, 2017 Posted August 6, 2017 An issue has been brought up to me by other staff. your internet situation might compromise your ability to moderate. What are your thoughts on this?
DatBerry Posted August 6, 2017 Author Posted August 6, 2017 An issue has been brought up to me by other staff. your internet situation might compromise your ability to moderate. What are your thoughts on this? As i said in my PMs, my internet did improve enough that i can play without lag all day except for prime time where my ping gets around 0.6, which isn't an issue since there's a lot of staff online at that time
Catnip Posted August 14, 2017 Posted August 14, 2017 Trial started on August 14, 2017, and will end in one month on September 14.
Superiorform Posted August 15, 2017 Posted August 15, 2017 (edited) I ahelped twice in one round, and DatBerry responded to both quickly, and was very helpful. I was ahelped against in a round, and DatBerry seemed friendly when he was getting my side of the story. He's exactly the type of moderator I like to deal with, in that regard. +1 from me. EDIT: I honestly think DatBerry has dibsed and resolved 80% of my recent ahelps. That's dedication. Edited August 20, 2017 by Guest
Espa Posted August 18, 2017 Posted August 18, 2017 DatBerry seems like a nice Moderator I'm relatively new to Aurora and I asked help for my Shell Frame IPC App, they responded with some questions that helped me clarify some things in the RP Story Hopefully it's much better now. +1 for their endeavors.
Catnip Posted September 15, 2017 Posted September 15, 2017 Application accepted after a successful trial. Welcome back.
