Server Moderator Application

 

Basic Information

Byond Account: Calion12

Character Name(s): Vieniamin Sokolov, Fideal Al'Majoree (Mains)

AI Name(s): N/A

Preferred means of contact: Discord PMs are a good way to get hold of me, forum PMs also since I browse when I am bored.

Age: 14

Timezone: GMT (EST-5)

When are you on Aurora?: Most of the time after 4:30ish on weekdays with the exception of Tuesday and Thursday when I am not on at all. Every second weekend I don't have access to my computer



Experience

How long have you played SS13?:Around 2 - 2 and a half-ish years at best guess

How long have you played on Aurora: Around a year to a year and a half factoring in my breaks

How much do you know about SS13 (Baystation build) game mechanics?: Well, I have played for a while and covered most departments so I am familiar with most mechanics to at least some degree

Do you have any experience moderating for an SS13 server?: No, none at all.

Have you ever been banned, and if so, how long and why?: No, none at all.



Personality

Why do you play SS13?: Because I find it more fun than almost every other game I own and I have grown fond of the community on Aurora particularly.

Why do you play on Aurora?: Because it was the server I migrated to after leaving another one and it grew on me (Whether like a flower or a cancer is in the eyes of the beholder)

What do moderators do?: Maintain normality for regulars, dealing with any issues brought to their attention and assist new players in getting a foothold on the new server which, with it being a HRP server, can be a little daunting if they are not used to it.

What does it mean to be a moderator for our server?: It means you have accepted the job of keeping the peace, knowing what is allowed and not allowed and trying to reach a conclusion that is best for all involved. They serve to be a friendly face for those needing help and a firm but fair judgement call for situations out of the ordinary.

Why do you want to be a moderator?: Honestly, mostly selfish reasons; This will be the first time I have done something like this so the experience for me sounds quite exciting, a new challenge to conquer. Plus this community has given so much to me over the year(s) and I feel that I can help give a little back by alleviating some of the work pre-existing staff members have to do.

What qualities do you possess that would make you a good moderator?: I have experience with teaching people things, retaining facts and guiding. Plus, I have been on the community for a while so I feel that people know me and I know them, allowing for a deeper understanding of actions that are taken and giving valuable insight before smiting the usurper and delivering punishment. I am rather patient, I wouldn't get bored of listening to people's queries or their sides of the story.

How well do you handle stress, anger, or insults?: Well, I go to a boy's school as a runty, small kid so they are on the regular for me. Weep not however, for this has given me a rather thick skin. I can handle insults as well as I can handle regular conversation, they are practically one and the same. It doesn't hurt that my friends and I exchange insults as a form of greeting. Anger for me doesn't really occur. At worst it just gives way and I lose motivation and at best, it doesn't happen at all. I can handle stress, no need to worry there.



Anything Else You Want to Add:

This may all have painted me in a very narcissistic light, believe me I am cringing at it already but I didn't intend for it to come off that way. Joining the mod team would be, for me at least, quite the personal achievement (I mean, it's not like I needed my soul for anything anyway so I may as well sell it off here). But in all seriousness, I would like to help this server become even better than it currently is and since I am devoid of creative ideas and probably will never file a suggestion thread this seems like a good way for me to do that. Thanks for taking the time to read this.
