VoltageHero Posted April 12, 2018 Posted April 12, 2018 (edited) Server Moderator Application Basic Information Byond Account: VoltageHero Character Name(s):Emily Smith AI Name(s):N/A Discord username + tag: VoltageHero#5104 Age:20 Timezone:EST When are you on Aurora?:I usually come on around off and on 4PM-4AM, although I am undertaking a internship during this summer which may make my hours a little shorter. Experience How long have you played SS13?: Since roughly 2011. How long have you played on Aurora: I was here since Aurora started. How much do you know about SS13 (Baystation build) game mechanics?: I’d say I’m fairly well versed in the ins and outs, although I still don’t understand some concepts such as engineering completely. Do you have any experience moderating for an SS13 server?: I moderated on Aurora for a few months back in 2015, before I resigned (which was not because of drama or anything, but purely because I found myself being less active). Have you ever been banned, and if so, how long and why?:Outside of joke bans or kicks, I can’t recall a time I’ve been banned. Personality Why do you play SS13?: SS13 is a good medium for roleplay and it exists to basically fill a spot that I can’t really get outside of it. For example, table-top games are too hard to find a group for, and other similar games are way too empty to simply play on. Space Station 13 is basically just a great way to both interact with people and play around with characters you never would get to see in any other easy to access platform. Why do you play on Aurora?: Aurora’s community is an interesting one. It has a mix of players who come for different reasons and have their specific roles they want to do and their stories they’re trying to build. While sometimes these stories don’t work out that well, they’re still amazing concepts and it’s a wonderful thing to see a community like Aurora’s be able to attract people who are, (for the most part) friendly and open to other players. Along with this, the staff is competent and pretty open and friendly to the community which always shows a healthy and functioning community, which is opposed to one that’s filled with constant bickering. Overall, the atmosphere of the community is just warm and inviting and makes me want to return to it. What do moderators do?: A moderator’s job is a complex one. Moderators are not just there to ensure the rules aren’t being broken, but there’s also there to help out a player (within bounds of course). A moderator has to be able to use good discretion and overall judgement to know how to handle a situation and if the situation deserves a harsh sentence, or if the player just needs to be informed and taught why what they did was wrong and how to avoid doing it in the future. A moderator shouldn’t be someone wordlessly banning people, but should be helping better the community by both keeping griefers and other rule breakers out (or at least getting their behaviors ended) as well as aiding those who are running into issues with the game from a mechanic wise. What does it mean to be a moderator for our server?: To be a moderator for Aurora means to have a strong understanding of the community and to be willing to work with and interact with the community. As well, since Aurora is a HRP server, you have to understand that sometimes people are going to be really stressed out because they didn’t have their roleplay go the way they wanted, or some other issue arose, and be willing to listen to them vent or even get angry at you for not fixing the issue to their satisfaction. Furthermore, you have to be understanding of people’s insults to you in general and be able to not take it personally or try to “one-up” them in terms of insults. Lastly, it’s also really important to be willing to work with the Aurora staff as well, because of course being any staff member isn’t a Dirty Harry where you get to be a lone hero doing everything on your own. Why do you want to be a moderator?: Honestly, I just want to help out. While I do make jokes about the staff fairly often (all lovingly), I understand it can be really overwhelming especially when you’re having to tackle twenty issues at once. This stuff only stresses people out and I want to help alleviate that. As well, I would like to as a moderator be able to help the community be What qualities do you possess that would make you a good moderator?:I think I’ve always been a pretty chill person, and I believe that’s gotten better as I’ve gotten older, although I suppose I’m not that much older now. As well, being in a debate team and in college in general has strengthened my interpersonal skills, which is always a plus when having to deal with one or more people at once in a possible argumentative situation. Lastly, I believe I’d be able to be pretty tabula rasa when it comes to most situations since I don’t really hold grudges or “really dislike” or hate anyone (both in real life and on the server). How well do you handle stress, anger, or insults?:I’ve always thought myself to be a pretty laid back person, and in general I’ve never really been bothered by someone taking out their anger on me by venting and calling me names or what no that troubling. As well, when it comes to stress I feel like I’m pretty capable of separating myself from the game and deal with my stress in a manageable way. That said, I understand that sometimes I might need help and I can’t deal with everything on my own so I know that there may be times where I have to rely on other staff members if things become too stressful or otherwise overwhelming. Anything Else You Want to Add: I’m aware I’ve not been back on the actual server for sometime, and I’m afraid that may make people who don’t use the Discord unfamiliar with me. Along with that, I believe the Discord portrays me as someone who purely exists to make jokes, and while that’s true I believe I’m also able to shift into a more professional mindset. That all said though, if it’s believed that it would be better for me to become more recognized on the server itself before reapplying to be a moderator, or if I should attempt to lay off as many jokes firstly before applying, I would not be offended in the least by that.

Faris Posted April 12, 2018 Posted April 12, 2018 I'm curious since your return. What issues do you see with Aurora? Community, staff, lore, anything really.
AmoryBlaine Posted April 12, 2018 Posted April 12, 2018 He memes a lot, but quite honestly, I think he'd be a great addition to the staff team. At least from what I can tell.
VoltageHero Posted April 12, 2018 Author Posted April 12, 2018 I'm curious since your return. What issues do you see with Aurora? Community, staff, lore, anything really. I've said it before and I'll say it again. I don't want to step on the lore-dev's toes, but the lore itself just isn't that interesting for players to read, and it's been like that for years. I really personally think the lore has to be better implemented into the server itself to provide players better incentive to read it and follow along, but that's a suggestion for another place. In regards to the community, I can't point out too many obvious issues at the moment. I have noticed an increased demand of antagonists, but that's less of an actual issue and something I personally don't like all the time, haha. Finally, while I have noticed drama, that sort of stuff is unavoidable in some form or fashion in a place like Aurora and like I said, mostly the server is friendly, of course you do have times where drama and such happens). If I had my way, we'd all hold hands and sing songs around the campfire but unfortunately we can't do that.
Coalf Posted April 12, 2018 Posted April 12, 2018 Now let me start off with saying that "m-muh professional b-behaviour!" on discord can frankly go suck a dick, the only thing is accomplishes is creating a stigma between the players and staff, if I acted like this is my job half the people I now consider friends would have never approached me in discord simply from being intimidated by my position. Voltage has kept his shitposting completely reserved in trashcan unlike most of the other people that just shitpost freely and while I did block him eventually as his behaviour was repetetive and predictable I have once again unblocked him as he actually seriously started posting in general. I've gotten voltage enraged once or twice in political thunderdome and I can say with guarantee that he's a very factual and laid back person when he gets that noggin' joggin'. Now there are actual issues I have, one of those is server mentality. The is one thing I've seen "oldguard" struggle with the most, returning to the server and discovering it is nothing like they left it, our restrictions are more numerous and the idea of how an antagonist should act has also changed. Most of the I find try to push back and put "The server back where it was" and frankly this is now impossible, we've increased playercount from 35 on maxhour to upwards of 70 if we do not hide the server in time. Which also links me to my second reason, which is server presence as that has so far from you been as far I'm concerned only a few weeks of gameplay. Thus I'd like to ask do you think you'll stick to the server? How long do you plan to stick on the server? (If you have a plan, could be indifinetly for all I know). Do you plan to change your behaviour in any way on discord and other social platforms now that you'll be trying for a mod? If I'd recommend anything it is to play for about a month more before continuing with this to get acquinted with the station and newcode, otherwise I know voltage is a solid dude and outside of these presence issues I hope he makes it into a trial.
Scheveningen Posted April 12, 2018 Posted April 12, 2018 I'm curious since your return. What issues do you see with Aurora? Community, staff, lore, anything really. I've said it before and I'll say it again. I don't want to step on the lore-dev's toes, but the lore itself just isn't that interesting for players to read, and it's been like that for years.

If I had my way, we'd all hold hands and sing songs around the campfire but unfortunately we can't do that. Have you considered addressing these concerns with the actual lore developers? Or have you not actually done this as of recent? I ask this because this is effectively an unsaid expectation of staff to do so internally rather than out in the open. It's at the very least bombastic and hilarious to air dirty laundry or grievances out in the open because it's always entertaining to see a different opinion than your own, but you must understand that if you actually give a damn about the issue, you should be bringing it up to the appropriate individuals who handle this sort of thing. You can't expect to have a conversation regarding issues pertaining to the game or the meta part of it without understanding, "Oh, I should probably talk to the appropriate person about this if I actually care enough about the issue to have something come of it in the near future." And yes, this is certainly something moderators or even admins should be expected to deal with. The meta irony just comes full circle, around and around. Furthermore, you should probably dispense with the hope that your job should ideally be cushy and everyone be enforced to be nice to each other. Tolerance is only going to so far for some people, given the wide variety of people that log onto the server. Chaos is the natural element of the game and it's a spectacle of its own when people yell at each other either ICly or OOCly. It is okay for inconsequential conflict between characters and players to occur (this is not to say people can, for the sake of an example, call each other faggots for, honestly, any reason). People are different and the clashing is inevitable. The important thing is that people learn from their misgivings rather than be forced to never have any misgivings. It makes us all grow as better players when we allow a little struggle session here or there. Nobody learns anything from indoctrinated attitudes. Embrace the drama, even, you might learn something on top of enjoying it. In terms of candidates, I like never-been-staff-before candidates better than any of the Old Guard. It provides a different flavor of personality into the staff that hasn't necessarily been seen before. Having known you long enough around the bend here, I would say you're pretty predictable and the last time you were a moderator, as I can recall, you weren't very active in involvement, as opposed to being active for the sake of logging onto the server. In my mind, for some time up until your resignation, you struck me as a very ineffectual moderator who was only still present because they didn't really feel like stepping down yet and the title just seemed nice to have. Can you make any guarantees that periodic inactivity or generally just lacking the will to contribute as a staff member won't be an issue again?
Catnip Posted April 13, 2018 Posted April 13, 2018 I'll be contacting you within the next few days for an interview.
VoltageHero Posted April 13, 2018 Author Posted April 13, 2018 Thus I'd like to ask do you think you'll stick to the server? How long do you plan to stick on the server? (If you have a plan, could be indifinetly for all I know). Do you plan to change your behaviour in any way on discord and other social platforms now that you'll be trying for a mod? If I'd recommend anything it is to play for about a month more before continuing with this to get acquinted with the station and newcode, otherwise I know voltage is a solid dude and outside of these presence issues I hope he makes it into a trial. I kinda brought this up as a potential issue in my original post. I believe that due to the fact that I was becoming a moderator during a time in which I was finding myself exceptionally bored with SS13 in general, I was more prone to leave it. Therefore, due to the fact that I have managed to rekindle an interest in the server and the community as a whole I believe I'm much more likely to be staying around, combined with the fact that I won't be too terribly busy even with the internship going on (hopefully). Again though, I totally understand this issue and I do also think that it could be a possible obstacle. When looking at attitude changes, I personally believe that drastically changing your personality to suit your environment puts on a false identity and kinda makes you look to be someone you're not, so therefore I don't believe I would be trying to do any drastic changes in personality, although I do know it would be best to not be making constant "your mom gay" jokes or similar things all the time. Have you considered addressing these concerns with the actual lore developers? Or have you not actually done this as of recent? I ask this because this is effectively an unsaid expectation of staff to do so internally rather than out in the open. It's at the very least bombastic and hilarious to air dirty laundry or grievances out in the open because it's always entertaining to see a different opinion than your own, but you must understand that if you actually give a damn about the issue, you should be bringing it up to the appropriate individuals who handle this sort of thing. You can't expect to have a conversation regarding issues pertaining to the game or the meta part of it without understanding, "Oh, I should probably talk to the appropriate person about this if I actually care enough about the issue to have something come of it in the near future." The answer was in response to a question, I'm not attempting to talk about my grievances without any causation, but I suppose it come look that way. To your actual question, I have brought it up a few good times in general conservation in both the Discord and off the Discord where I mentioned that there needs to be a better implemented way to engage players with the lore. That said, I haven't directly sat down one-on-one with a lore developer and discussed this with them. Furthermore, you should probably dispense with the hope that your job should ideally be cushy and everyone be enforced to be nice to each other. Tolerance is only going to so far for some people, given the wide variety of people that log onto the server. I apologize if you felt that I was trying to imply that working as a moderator is easy. To be reiterate my statement from the original post, a moderator should be willing to work with people and try to reach a possible conclusion that is utilitarian, because of course you can't please everyone. That said, attempts should be made to communicate with the person first, instead of reaching a far end (in either direction) in how you're dealing with someone. In terms of candidates, I like never-been-staff-before candidates better than any of the Old Guard. It provides a different flavor of personality into the staff that hasn't necessarily been seen before. Having known you long enough around the bend here, I would say you're pretty predictable and the last time you were a moderator, as I can recall, you weren't very active in involvement, as opposed to being active for the sake of logging onto the server.

Can you make any guarantees that periodic inactivity or generally just lacking the will to contribute as a staff member won't be an issue again? Again, I apologize that you feel that way. While I wasn't always playing in the round, I was indeed still taking tickets and trying to interact with people to the extent of my capabilities up until the point that I left. As I mentioned to Coalf, I believe a lot of the reason for my inactivity was due to a general lack of boredom with Space Station 13 after having playing pretty much everyday for quite some time. I believe that due to the fact that I have both more free time once I've reached college, and and am able to better allocate any time I do have to manage, not being on the server may not be as big of an issue as it once was, although I can still understand how it can possibly become one.
Catnip Posted April 13, 2018 Posted April 13, 2018 Interview with the applicant: Catnip - Today at 2:02 PM Alright. Generally we ask about a dozen questions, some mechanical and some more specific to the person. How much do you recall mechanics wise from your time as a mod? Voltage - Today at 2:03 PM I think I remember some of them, but some of them I'm a little foggy on, and I'm not sure what all you guys might have added. I believe I still recall checking the damage logs and such from people and of course how to claim tickets and all that. Catnip - Today at 2:04 PM If you've got any questions regarding them feel free to ask, let's jump into it. First question. A new player joins with the character name 'Nugget Boy', a bald 30 year old assistant with no legs and one arm, records show their account is 0 days old. What do you do? Voltage - Today at 2:07 PM Well, simply it would be smart to send them a message, asking them if they've read through the rules before making their character, and pointing out the aspect of having realistic characters and names being important. If they don't react at all, of course there's the aspect where you alert them of how to respond to a staff PM, and so forth. Catnip - Today at 2:08 PM Right, and if they still don't respond after this, and instead keep moving toward tool storage? Voltage - Today at 2:11 PM At that point, it is either that they're deciding to ignore me as a staff member or just simply don't know what to do. Because of that, I'd wind them and reiterate the fact that they're not following the rules that we have set in place and that's very important for them to either give me a new name to change in place of their old (as well as fixing their at least their legs if that's a possibility from an ability standpoint, I can't recall exactly), and failure to respond with either result in a kick or aspects being changed against their will. Catnip - Today at 2:13 PM Alright, nicely done. Next question: You get an ahelp from a player saying that they have been permabrigged for no reason. What do you do? Voltage - Today at 2:14 PM I'd let them know this is mainly an IC issue and that this should be dealt with by contacting the Head of Security or the next person in charge. Still, I would let them know I'm willing to hear their side because there possibly could be legitimate issue that's going on. Catnip - Today at 2:17 PM They tell you that an Officer arrested them while they were taking a crate of warehouse items to science, without a warrant, and give you the name of an Officer. When you PM them, the Officer tells you the HoS ordered a search of Cargo, and he found an energy shield in the crate. The HoS tells you he never opened a warrant, but simply asked the AI to look over the warehouse.(edited) Voltage - Today at 2:20 PM I'd remind the officer that it's vital to be having a warrant before charging in and arresting someone, due to the fact that there has to be a reason to actually arrest someone. As well, I'd remind them that contraband isn't a perma-briggable offense, and that at most it's a short sentence. At this point, I would request they come to some IC solution in which they, ideally released the member for false imprisonment, or at the very least drastically lowered their sentence. Catnip - Today at 2:23 PM Okay, next question: Suddenly a bunch of attack logs appear, two players shooting eachother with lethal weapons, an Officer and a Shaft Miner. Neither are antags, you're in the lobby at this time so you don't have much more info on the situation, and there are no other modmins online. What do? Voltage - Today at 2:26 PM I'd quickly wind them both to ensure one doesn't kill the other, and try to get an understanding of the situation from both of them first of all, to see if there was either a meaningful or realistic approach to their conflict. I'd also quickly jump into Observe so that I can get a better look at what's going on so I also could be ready for their responses in turn. Catnip - Today at 2:32 PM They tell you that both parties had essentially challenged/taunted eachother, after a conflict that has been escalating for some time over multiple canon rounds; first a questionable arrest, followed by an IR, followed by continued verbal conflict. You find out that the Officer was out hunting carp, and aimed a rifle at the miner after seeing them pull out a KA, which escalated into a firefight. Neither players have OOC grievences regarding this conflict. Voltage - Today at 2:36 PM Due to the fact that they both attested to the fact that the conflict was a long-running peak of what was a lot of fighting ICly, and due to the fact that the entire conflict had been built for for quite some time in a roleplay sense, I would be pretty unlikely to actually be giving out any punishment, because along with the previous stated reasons, the fact that it doesn't seem to be any real OOC anger involved, the conflict itself looks acceptable even though they're not antags. Catnip - Today at 2:37 PM Alright, anything else to add on this one? Voltage - Today at 2:38 PM I would ask their actions don't lead to them actually killing one another, obviously. Catnip - Today at 2:39 PM Okay, next question, only a couple more of these kind left: A player ahelps that another player, one you know well but have never had to deal with as a Moderator, is powergaming. A quick check on their contents and vars reveals that they as a non-Security role (such as QM, Scientist, Doctor, etc.) have managed to arm themselves heavily using the most powerful weapons they could have legitimately acquired in that job (such as a polyacid syringe gun, fireaxe, laser cannon), and is currently in a firefight against the merc team, alone. They're winning. What do you do? Voltage - Today at 2:42 PM Haha, oh my goodness. Firstly, I would try to find a suitable time to talk to them, because in this instance winding wouldn't work (due to the large amounts of parties involved), and when I was able to do so I would ask them why exactly their character, who was in a non-combative role, running up against heavily armed and trained killers and why exactly they were especially seemingly doing it by themselves, and remind them of the fact that going "lone wolf" even for a security officer is usually frowned upon due to the lack of realistic sense, generally. Catnip - Today at 2:44 PM Upon checking their notes, you also see a note and a severe warning for powergaming in the past 3 months. They tell you that the mercs killed their character's friend, and they believe this justifies it. Voltage - Today at 2:48 PM At this point, I would consult with any active staff on if they believed the character deserves a second warning, or if some punishment were in order. If nobody else were online, I would be leaning more-so to a second warning but highly emphasizing the point that if this action were to show up again in the future that there would be a extremely highly chance, or guaranteed of them being banned. I would try to explain them the reasoning for this, by pointing out that even in a high stress situation, the character still should be able to realize that they lack the combat ability or training to go up against these people, and even in a situation where they did go against their better judgement and tried to fight back, they should be played to be doing poorly, to reflect their situation, their lack of skills, or their nerves or any combo of the three. Again, I would inform them that while it is acceptable to be responding aggressively to their IC friend dying, they need to find a better alternative to leading direct confrontation, which can vary greatly.(edited) Catnip - Today at 2:52 PM Alright, next: How do you see yourself responding to rule lawyering? A player who seems to drag a PM discussion on for excess amounts of time arguing in an attempt to avoid administrative action after breaking a rule, for example.(edited) Voltage - Today at 2:53 PM After a certain point, there has to be a point where the foot is put down, simply. If the person is trying to constantly get me to change my side or what not, I would frankly tell them that I've reached my verdict and I'm not changing it no matter what they try to bring up. Catnip - Today at 2:54 PM And if they ask to speak to an administrator? Voltage - Today at 2:56 PM If one is one, then I'd allow them to make their own judgement on that situation before telling the player anything. If an admin isn't on, I'd tell them that there wasn't one on currently and even though I know I could always just alert one over Discord, I'd just tell them that if they feel that the situation at hand truly deserves being inspected by higher up staff, that there is a complaints board in which it could be handled. Catnip - Today at 2:56 PM Alright. You and one admin (Who is AFK) are online, and you recieve an ahelp that a good OOC friend of yours has been metagaming traitor uplink items as Security, and is attempting an arrest over wearing a voice changer, which appears as a gas mask unless right clicked. What do you do? Voltage - Today at 3:01 PM I would try to be as impartial as possible and if I truly found myself unable to separate myself for whatever reason, I would try to contact any moderator or admin online in the staff discord and try to get them to be online for a short while to deal with the case. If I were able to remain impartial, I would try and talk to the offending player in question. I would as always try to get their side of the story firstly before making any further actions. If they admit to abusing the voice changer as a way to lead to an arrest, I would remind them of the fact that this sort of information is purely OOC stuff and is going against the rules. At the same time, I'd be making sure to look over their notes to ensure there wasn't anything similar to this incident popping up in the past. Catnip - Today at 3:04 PM Alright, and if it came to a ban due to repeated offenses, would you find yourself able to differentiate between doing so yourself, and passing it to another staffmember if there is bias involved? Be honest, no wrong answer here.(edited) Voltage - Today at 3:08 PM I think this really comes down to something "in the moment". While I can easily tell you that "yes, I would in no way shape or form have any issue doing the ban myself", I think it would really depend on the person in question and how much I talked to them and so forth. I think generally, I would prefer someone who isn't as familiar with the person to carry out the ban, just to ensure there's no belief of possible bias in the long term, during an unban appeal or similar. Catnip - Today at 3:10 PM Understandable, next question: A discussion in OOC becomes heated and ends up with a couple of people flinging insults at eachother. When do you draw the line, and at what point do you step in? How do you handle it? Voltage - Today at 3:13 PM Because of the fact that trying to butt in when OOC is flying is hard, the end result and the way I would "step in" would be to quickly mute OOC and remind me of the whole rule of "not being a dick". I'd let people know that it's okay to be upset or angry because of previous rounds or what-not, and if it's something political I'd simply ask them to keep it off the OOC. The measure in which I would step in would be directly related to both how fast OOC is going (if it's flying by with ten people all screaming insults, then that would be one point), and the general terms being thrown around. For example, if there is serious statements like "please kill yourself, honestly" or something similar, then I would take that as my time to step in. Catnip - Today at 3:15 PM Couple more questions. Another staffmember makes a judgement that you don't agree with, what do you do? Voltage - Today at 3:16 PM I'd talk to them privately, either over Discord or through the msay, and try to do so in a manner that doesn't come off rude or anything. I'd basically tell them that I either thought something was too extreme or that there was a better way to do something. Catnip - Today at 3:17 PM And if they dismiss/ignore that entirely? Voltage - Today at 3:18 PM Well, I mean I can't really force them to respond to me or explain their actions. I would of course try one more time to try and talk to them about it, and if they just responded negatively or ignored it again, I would have to end up dropping it. Catnip - Today at 3:18 PM Note that you can speak to the head admins, or make a staff complaint in serious cases. Moving on: How do you feel about handling forum complaints, reports, etc. and moderating the discord alongside on-server operations? Voltage - Today at 3:20 PM I think being able to moderate the Discord in a serious manner could actually be rather enjoyable, since it's so easy to access everything basically. In regards to the complaints and reports and such, I wouldn't mind doing them although I don't have too much experience in actually handling those. Catnip - Today at 3:30 PM Alright. Is there anything you dislike about the current state of the server? Anything you would seek to change given the chance?(edited) Voltage - Today at 3:31 PM I mean nothing new that I can think of besides my reply in regards to Sharp's question. I still think it'd be nice to see the loredevs possibly link the lore with the ingame newscaster, but I brought that up before but I have no idea how they'd do that Catnip - Today at 3:35 PM Okay, that wraps this up. Any closing comments? Voltage - Today at 3:35 PM None that I can really think of at the moment, nope. Catnip - Today at 3:37 PM Alrighty, and you're fine with this being posted on your application? Voltage - Today at 3:37 PM Yeah, that's fine.
incognitojesus Posted April 14, 2018 Posted April 14, 2018 Voltage is a good boi. And by that, I mean that he was honestly pretty good at being a mod when he was active. I honestly think that he would be a great candidate and can re-adjust to the new server climate reasonably well. I would like to think that my input here, as someone who can actually recall when Voltage was a mod prior, would carry some weight. As for the way he conducts himself on the discord, etc., I haven't really seen a concrete issue with the way he communicates. He shitposts in places like the trashcan, but otherwise he isn't really distinguishable from how some of the modstaff communicates. Hell, Jackboot starts all of his official announcements with "Hewwo", so unless people can come up with egregious examples of conduct, I'd say that's a somewhat moot point. My only concern would be whether or not you plan on sticking around, as has been mentioned previously. I would like to think that you will, having adjusted to the whole college life and all. You've got my support, biitch.
