Cooliecan - Moderator Application

Post by Cooliecan » 07 Sep 2015, 13:35

Byond ID:Cooliecan

Colonial Marines Character:Redrock Xen

Age:20

Gender:Male

Timezone:Aus 10+

On average, how many hours are you available per week to moderate? For the next two weeks, maybe 10 -15 hours until exams are over, then 6 months of holidays!

Do you have any previous experience in being staff (not just SS13)?

I was a moderator of both the old and new bestRP servers.

Did you play any of the previous Colonial Marine servers?

Yeah, the direct previous one with the mounted mg's and such.

Have you had an application to Colonial Marines or New Eden denied before?
Negative.

Are you currently a staff member elsewhere (not just SS13)? If so, where?
Negative.

Have you ever been banned for more than 24 hours on Colonial Marines?
Negative.

If a player was shooting everyone in briefing at round start how would you deal with the situation?
Freeze the offender, tell the surrounding marines to not touch him, figure out what is going on and deal with the offender accordingly eg, job ban if anything but marine with added day ban. And then assess the damage the marine caused and see if it needs patching up, eg hole into space.

You notice that a xeno is breaching the Nostromo and is unable to seal it with resin. How would you deal with this and what punishment would you give for a first offender?

If the alien is one which can produce resin, I would attempt to instruct them on how to make a resin seal door; while questioning what intentions they had for making the hole in the first place. If there answer has no solid foundations and shows no signs of cooperation e.g "To suffocate all of the marines!" or " I felt let a leisurely space walk" They would receive a 1 day ban.

The marines want the nuke codes to detonate the Nostromo because they claim they are losing too many marines. There are currently 4 aliens and 20 marines in your /who. What do you do?

I would try to take the situation with as much roleplay as possible, suggesting that the marines contact the Commander. But if it comes to a unanimous vote they want to blow themselves up, it's there ship unless it has Company staff onboard and alive they can blow themselves up as much as there heart so desires.

A Sulaco Medic has made several napalm grenades and hands them out to marines. One of the marines throws the grenade into Logistics. There are no admins or other moderators online. What do you do?

Assuming the grenade was activated before it was thrown. I would go through the actions of questioning the perpetrating marine as to why they threw the grenade, acting accordingly on their response. Then I would turn my attention to the Medic to find out how they got the grenade casings and that they are powergaming, acting out as research.

What would you do if a player started to talk about the things he did to your mom last night?

I like to consider myself pretty level headed, If it's just a bit of banter I would give them a warning not to take it to far. And if things turn too salty and they are directly attacking me or slandering my mother. This would be completely unacceptable and I would hate for them to do it to any of my fellow staff members providing them with a swift permanent ban until they apologize for their transgressions in the forums.

Any additional information you'd like to add?

Don't hold it against me that I was a moderator at best RP. It was more active after Purelek was gone and the new server was active. :angel:

I have a very small idea on who you are and I have seen your name before.

But.......

Your forum account must be two weeks old sooo yeah...

I can see you have been here for just under two weeks but I still don't know how good of a player you are...

Anyway your first post is about a staff application which seems iffy for me so I'll give you meh.

Neutral.

-1 from me as your first post is a staff app. Yur name doesn't ring any bells in game either. Also some of your answers don't really go well. Personally the answer to the first question isn't the best option personally. Cause people get pissed and before you could inform people to not do anything they would just beat him to death. So I think for now I'll have to go with my choice of saying -1 for now.

I don't really remember you at all from the time I had on best rp..

-1 for above reasons
You have some grammar and spelling issues like their being there. Showing you didn't take the time to re read your application for the little things that are quick fix, hard to forgive.
Your account is not two weeks old.
This is your first post.
Your answers are sort of weak.
The last answer of permanent banning them is HEAVILY not okay and is something a cry baby would do. This is the internet. Mothers will be brought onto it at some point and you set a bad example if you go full butt hurt on them. You must set the line, not lower it. Even if they go over the top you can simply mute them and give them a warning I suggest you wait s bit and get some posts, get some activity, and get to know how the staff work before you attempt to go farther with this.

-1 Your answers are not procedures that follow the admin protocols. As well as you yourself seem to not understand the staff procedures, do to your resolution of a "perma-ban" on your mother question. Some of your answers such as the nuke question are also answered in a less than desirable manner, seeing as you actually gave the marines the nuke code (this is for Head-Staff or Hosts only). Additionally, we do not give our Moderators the "Freeze" verb, we give them the "Toggle-Sleep" verb.

+Your account needs to be 2-weeks old.
+You need to have more forum activity.
+You need to be more active in the game.

I would also like to mention that any non-staff votes that are posted do not count towards someone's chance at hiring, but they do sway staff votes if they contain good reasons.

Yeah... I honestly just do not see this being within good interests. the fact that it is your first post and that I have never heard your name really leaves a bitter takes in my mouth since I like to know the people I am hiring.... -1 from me.

First post? Welcome to the forums!

But uh... not sure about Staff man, you are not, at all, in any way active enough right now. I have hardly seen you in-game and in fact don't even know what character you play. Sorry but uhm...


Yeah, -1 for me too :/

I understand, I'll re-apply later, like I said in my application I don't have much time online until my exams are over, and please do keep in mind i'm in a australian timezone so to actually see me you'll have to be online during reasonable to unreasonable hours AUS.

I kinda feel like the nuclear code question could do with a little bit of rewording as it's not really applicable to a moderator who is there to make sure the rules are adhered too not change the game.
