On average, how many hours are you available per week to moderate?
I am pretty sure that I can be on server for like 15 hours in a week or more.


Do you have any previous experience in being staff (not just SS13)?
Yep, I was a staff member on one SS13 server for 6 months.

Did you play any of the previous Colonial Marine servers?
No.

What are the 3 biggest servers you play on besides CM?
Eh, I play only on CM for like 5 months or so.

Provide links to any previous Colonial Marines applications that you've made:
1)viewtopic.php?f=68&t=18086 Mod application, denied.
2)viewtopic.php?f=68&t=18877 Another mod app, denied.


Are you currently a staff member elsewhere (not just SS13)? If so, where?
No.

Have you ever been banned for more than 24 hours on Colonial Marines?
I received just one ban like this: jobban on MP/CMP(Bans were lifted like 2 months ago).

Have you ever been banned for more than 24 hours on ANY server? If so, which server, when, and what for?
No.

Are you familiar with the chat program Slack (its use is required)?
Yes, sure.

Common Staff Situations:
Write a description of what you would do in each of the following situations. Do not write on the same line as the situation - use the space below it or make space as needed. Failure to do this proves your inability to follow instructions and your application will be automatically denied.

1. A player randomly shoots someone at round start and MPs have detained him.
I would PM all involved players to investigate this situation from different sides. There are 3 variants after this: 1)Missclick: Offender will receive a warning, victim will be healed by admins. 2)It was on purpose and involved players are dissatisfied: Offender will receive a ban depending on his previous rule violations. and some notes, victim will be healed. 3)It was on purpose, but all involved players are fine with this(including victim): I will let them to continue this RP stuff, but shooter will be warned that next time they would receive a ban next time.


2. The ship has a breach to space and a bunch of players have died or are dying as a result.
I would heal all victims and ask an Administrator to fix the breach (It's most likely impossible for players to create a breach, but I would investigate the situation and find out what exactly happened).


3. You see a player walking around the ship naked and clearly lost.
I would tell a mentor to help him. If there are no mentors, I will help by myself/request some mentors in Slack.(In some cases it's possible to ask other players to help him with using of LOOC).


4. A player is being very rude to you in Adminhelps and requesting to speak to an Admin+ staff member.
I would hand them up to a higher staff member(if they are not busy). If they are busy, I will wait for them and then hand this player up to the higher staff. I will also inform the staff member that the player was rude to me. Possibly add some notes about his bad behaviour in Ahelp.


5. You notice a player with a name that doesn't fit our naming rules. The player is arguing that: They've used the name for several years, no one has told them to change it before, and that they didn't know it was a rule.
I would tell them that no one has noticed this name doesnt fit the rules. I will ask him to change his name after the round. If he keeps arguing, I will give him a ban depending on his previous rule violations. Add notes.

6. You see a Maintenance Tech running around in armor and carrying a rifle. The security level is green with no threat present.
First of all, I would check the notes.
1)If this happened for the first time, I will just warn him that he is not supposed to carry such equipment in green code. I will also ask him to drop/return that equipment on its place. Possibly some notes.
2)If this is not the first time, I would give a ban depending on previous rule violations. And of course some notes.

7. You see a Squad Medic performing surgery on the planet. He claims it was because there were no doctors in the FOB.
I would PM him and tell that Squad Medics can't perform surgery in any situations. Then I will give him a warning/ban depending on previous rule violations. Add notes.


8. The round is stagnating. There are 30 marines and 4 aliens. The marines won't leave the ship, and the aliens won't attack. What would you do, to "encourage" the sides to engage each other?
I would inspire one side for pushing by such tools as subtile message or send message as High Command/Queen Mother report.



9. The round ends, a MARINE starts shooting a hostile CLF member and the CLF member Adminhelps complaining he was killed after the round ended.
I will tell the CLF player that this is not against rules. EORG rule only applies in FF situations(UPP member killing UPP member, marine killing marine, etc).


10. A marine is running around disarming, punching and stealing gear at round start.
Welp, such actions are forbidden by the rule number 4. I would give a warning and write a note. If player continues to do so, I would give a ban.

11. A marine has killed another marine. When you ask him why, he said it was because the other marine had punched him.
Such actions are forbidden by a rule number 14. I would inform the player that he wouldnt shoot someone IRL for punching them. Then I will give a warning/ban depending on previous rule violations and heal the victim. Add notes.


12. An issue arises that requires Admin+ abilities.
Check if there are any Administrators in game. Then ask for help or request one Administrator in Slack.



13. There are minor racist comments going on IC. 9 of the 10 people are laughing and RPing but one player gets offended and Adminhelps about it.
I would perceive this situation as IC unless comments are major/target player or players in particular.



14. A marine opens fire at round start in briefing killing multiple marines and instantly logs off.
First of all, I will heal all victims to get the round going as usual. Then I would give a 7 day ban, write a note and request a perma ban for this player.

15. You see a player playing a xeno larva/chestburster run towards the frontlines and die.
I would inform the player that his actions were against rules(Probably rule number 11) and give a warning/jobban depending on previous rule violations. Add notes.

16. You see a xeno memeing, saying AYYLMAO, REEEEEE etc in hivemind chat.
I will ask the player to stop and inform him that Xenomorph is a medium RP role and he can't write something like this In Character. Then I would give a warning/jobban depending on previous rule violations. Add notes.


17. A xeno player calls the shuttle a "dropship". A different xeno player complains to you that it's metagaming/failRP to call it a "dropship".
I would PM the complainant and explain him that this is not against rules or roleplay standards(Xeno hivemind is an English translation of their thoughts so words such as “hydro” or “shuttle” are acceptable).


18. A Command staff player at briefing near round-start mentions there are aliens on the planet.
I would investigate the situation and ask the player about the source of such information. Then I would give a warning/jobban or let it be depending on the situation and previous rule violations. Add notes.


19. A Marine kills another Marine on the EVAC Pod to take the last spot and claims it was RP as he was saving himself.
Two variants here: 1)It was RPed properly. No intervention. 2)It wasnt PRed properly. Offender will receive a ban/warning depending on previous rule violations. Add notes.


20. You see a fellow staff member give wrong information in an Adminhelp or incorrectly enforcing a rule.
I will tell him that his actions were wrong. If staff member continues to do so, I would inform the Manager and let them handle the situation.

20a. You see a fellow staff member abusing his powers in-game.
I will inform the Manager or Senior Moderator/Admnistrator about this and let them handle the situation from there.


21. You see a player talking in OOC chat about what he did with your mom last night.
This is shitposting, who cares?


Any additional information you'd like to add?
So, here comes an another one try to apply for mod. A lot of things happened since I wrote the second app: I fucked up in some things, I improved in some things. I really want to prove that I can be better than it seems and that some of my actions were just a big mistake.
P.S: Yes, this is most likely copypasted app since I got no problems with answers that time.
UPD:Retired from DMCA and also adding links to another 2 apps:
viewtopic.php?f=142&t=18186&start=25 - Commander app, accepted.
viewtopic.php?f=127&t=18998 - Pred app, denied due to my serious fuck up.

[Grimreaperx15]

Answers are pretty much all solid, except for 4 and 6 which are incorrect.

4. They don't have a right to speak to anyone else. If they disagree with your ruling, they can file a Staff Report.

6. This is a purely IC issue. It may be worth a PM to see if they're just very confused and new, but otherwise it isn't something to act on.

As 21 is vague, I'd like to ask rephrase it and ask. You see a player talking in OOC about what he did with your mom last night, explicitly and in detail. How would you handle that?

It actually depends on situation. If it's just a meme - I would pretty much ignore it. If this was supposed to hurt someone - I would act depending on previous player notes with same accidents.(Rule №3)
UPD:Hadn't noticed "Explicity and in detail". It's a pure violation of rule number 3 then. I would act depending on previous player notes anyway.

[Grimreaperx15]

Fairly close, although the key is that if it's explicit, it's going to fall under Rule 1, which is pretty much zero tolerance. 7 day ban, and filing for perma.

I've not checked notes or anything, so I'll withhold judgment until I do, but I think, minus the few issues I've mentioned, you've got a solid understanding of the rules, and the rest can be hammered out during the trial period.

Update: No notes since early October, good activity as well. Unless something comes up, +1.

[Slywater]

Third time lucky.
There's been a definite improvement regarding notes. I would give you a shot this time.
+1.

Answers are mostly fine, and I know the only blip you have is your removal from CO.

However maybe you can earn some more redemption with service to the server.

So let me ask you some extra what if questions.

1. While observing the round you notice another moderator is on msay and says they’re very drunk. He’s rambling on and on about the most random stuff, but he isn’t causing any trouble while playing, but he keeps saying he loves you and keeps trying to banter with you in msay. Do you think this requires action?

2. During a major event a marine ahelps “I just downed and some other marine just stabbed me to death yelling FOR THE CLF!!!” a Admin running the event tells you in msay the other player is a CLF sleeper agent. How would you handle this?

3. A player ahelps “Can I shoot the RO for not giving me a BC.” You respond with an automatic no response message dismissing it as silly. He then ahelps “can I take the RO hostage and demand he give me a BC.” You respond and tell him no and explain he cannot munity and the RO can deny attachments for any reason. He then ahelps again “Can I demand the captain to tell him to give me BC.” How would you handle this?

1)Not really. If he is not causing trouble either for staff team or for players - it's fine.

2)I would just tell a person that this is a part of event and leave it like this.

3)Well, BCs is always a problem for RO... I would just tell them that RO reserves a right to deny any attachment to any person. Attachments are not a right, but a privilege. I also would say that he can do great even without BC and suggest him to pick another attachment.

[ThesoldierLLJK]

Maybe the third time is a charm.

+1 I think you can have a shot again.

[Adralimas]

No objections towards giving them a shot at a trial. +1

[Sleepy Retard]

Requirement four:


You'll have to retire from Russian DMCA to be a moderator here.

[Kerek]

Until he retires from bootleg CM -1

[Kineem]

where are the commander and predator applications

[Vitoras]

I forgot to mention this, yep. It's not really an issue since server is online only for 3 days a week and only for like 2-3 hours. It also has different players, so there won't be any favorites.

[Vitoras]

I thought that it's only needed to mention staff apps.

[taketheshot56]

It doesnt matter if its only up for three days a week, one of the requirements of being staff is not being a staff on any other ss13 server.

-1 until you retire from DMCA

[Vitoras]

Okay, done. Sad though.

[awan]

You get my +1 leaving from dmca means you do want this. And I am not that against giving you a shot.

[Skysoldier]

[AcuteCircle]

Since it's your third time applying you must really care about this. Also since you left Russian DMCA even tho you haven't been accepted yet, I really respect that and I trust you to be a moderator. +1
