Explain how you feel that your time as a moderator will contribute to you becoming an admin:
I have moderated the bhop server for 2 months now. With such a skeleton crew I have needed to step up, be quick and my feet and be available for a large amount of time. Alongside Nick, I've represented the bhop team under the European time zones. Due to the lack of depth in the teams I have, when required, interacted with those in lead positions a lot more than a moderator usually would. Doing this in my opinion has lead to a greater exposure of what is required for admins and I believe I can perform well in the role.
Explain a situation as a moderator you encountered that was an obstacle you had to work around (EG: defiant user):
On the whole I would say that the bhop community is pleasant and not to many difficulties are encountered day to day. However there are always events. I would hope SilentCall won't mind me referencing this, as the incident was dealt with and both parties were happy with the conclusion.
This appeal came quite early into my moderation tenure however was a challenge. Silent as an ex-staff member so felt that maybe he could lean on me a bit more than he should. Even though at the time he was difficult and I was relatively new acted as I thought I should and treated him like any other user. I showed a calm head under pressure and was able to resolve the situation with the user.
If you had to write a letter to train a moderator in between 100-200 words, what would you say to give them the full grasp?:
Congratulations and welcome to the team. Below I have listed the newly available commands to use for moderation. These can be found by opening up the leaderboard and left clicking on a player:
- Chat Mute: This command should be used when a player is using their text chat in a discriminatory manner and will prevent the user from using voice chat. This should be used in increasing increments if this player continues to abuse their chat privileges
- Voice Mute: This command should be used when a player is using their voice chat in a discriminatory manner and will prevent the user from using voice chat. This should be used in increasing increments if this player continues to abuse their mic privileges.
- Kick: This command kicks the player from the server and should be used following breaches in different rules under specific circumstances. Escalation beyond kicking are bans that can be provided by admins or warnings, found in your !warns command.
- Strip Weapons: This command will remove the weapons from the player and should be utilised if users are abusing their weapons to annoy others.
- Sharing Check: This will check if the user is using a family shared version of the game. If they are you will be given the option to ban them. This should be used to check if users are avoiding server bans by using alternate accounts.
- Spectate: The spectate command is useful if you're helping someone learn surf or for checking if people are using scripts. Unlike the normal spectate command you will not be reset to the start of the map once you leave spectator.
Explain how you would handle the following situation:
Player x appeals their ban in great detail, apology and effort. You check the ban list and find that Staff Member x banned them permanently for Exploiting, and that this is their first ban. How would your response to the appeal be?
Initially, I would check with the staff member that banned them and run through the ban from their perspective to check on the validity of the appeal. I would also check that the staff member was happy for me to proceed with the appeal. Once happy with the appeal and me handling it and if they were indeed regretful, truthful and sincere in their apology I would see no reason to keep this user banned. As this is a permanent ban I would look to reduce the ban if this user was appealing in the first couple of weeks to a lesser ban. If it had been a while since the ban I would look to unban immediately. First offenses in my opinion should always be treated leniently and any offenses past that with a more severe view.
Why I should be promoted (we recommend around 100 words):
Alongside the reasons above I feel I play an active and vocal part of the community. I'm social on the server and partake in discussions and staff meetings whilst also providing suggestions for server improvement. I believe I can be an invaluable asset to the team and hope that shows in this application.
Extra Information: (Not Required)
Thanks to Nick for pushing me to do this and always helping me out when needed. And to Onion & Mixer for chatting to me about concerns and suggestions I've had.
