Explain how you feel that your time as a moderator will contribute to you becoming an admin.
It helps me become better by allowing me to understand every aspect of what goes on, such as each encounter and how to handle it.
Gaining experience to help better myself in future F1's and rule breakers. It has contributed by allowing me to undergo certain situations and figuring out how to handle them in a calm and productive manner.
Giving me chances to see how players interact with each other during a sit, and the type of words or excuses that lead to me figuring out how to further handle the situation.
Giving me information about if a person is possibly lying or not, to tell the difference between victim and rule breaker. (regardless of who made the f1, though it usually is the victim)
There has been a few downs at first when I started moderating but after getting over a couple bumps the majority of people I've helped really made me feel good about being a moderator because I felt like I really did help them.
Explain a situation as a moderator you encountered that was an obstacle you had to work around (EG: defiant user).
Well recently there was a F1 about a rule breaker and I brought the victim and rule breaker to the roof, the victim seemed they were the ones who didn't do anything wrong but after asking for evidence I was provided a video showing that the victim was actually the rule breaker.
He lied to staff about his F1 and so I gave him warnings as he began to be disrespectful after that, this goes to show that its not always the victim who isn't breaking rules.
Also there was an F1 made about RDM, I brought the victim(x) and rule breaker(y) to a roof. At first he denied everything saying x was trying to kill him, so after remembering what I read in the info guide for Mods/Admins I brought something up.
I told him if he is lying the punishment will be much worse and acted like i had evidence against him even though I didn't say i had evidence.
After that he cracked and admitted I killed him for no real reason and said he was sorry for lying so I warned him for RDM and told him if he lies in the future his punishment will be far worse, I told him to reread the rules and not to do it again. He seemed as if he was genuinely sorry and that he wouldn't lie again, at least I hope.
(you never really know though, until they prove it)
If you had to write a facebook post to train a moderator in between 200-300 words, what would you say to give them the full grasp?
First off I would go through every power they have as mod, F1 menu, F6 menu, tab menu, @ chat, and everything you can do with it. Then tell them to go over the guide for mods/admins and make binds for each command. I would tell them to read everything for mods and ALL of the rules regarding evidence, how to handle F1s, and how to remain calm even with rude people.
Go over commands,
/tp SteamID
/goto SteamID
/back SteamID
/backspawn SteamID
/warn SteamID (reason)
/unwarn SteamID
/freeze SteamID (time in seconds)
/slay SteamID
/kick SteamID
Then I'd tell them the main part, how to handle F1's
Right click on an F1 and click handle, make sure you go from top to bottom as the top ones are the people who made an F1 first. Then from there you should either Goto them or PM them to see if they're busy raiding or rping.
If they are busy doing a raid or anything use the back command (if you tped to them) which you already have binded then PM them or use OOC to tell them to let you know when they are free. If they are in a car PM them and ask them if they can stop for you.
Ask them what the problem is, if its not clearly stated, if it says clearly in the Reason then [/b]
ask them what exactly happened[/b], who the rule breaker is and if you should check the logs to find out who it is. Ask the victim if you can take them to a roof and then after you find out who the potential rule breaker is tell them you will be right back (or pm them) as you are going to them and making sure they're not raiding, being raided, etc. NEVER BRING SOMEONE RANDOMLY.
Goto or pm the potential rule breaker and tell them you need them for a sit. If they are busy then go back and ask the person if they'd like to wait a moment for them, if they do not then tell them they can go back to RPing (what I usually do) and you will let them know when everyone is ready for the sit. In most cases the person has no problem waiting.
If they aren't busy then let them know you are bringing them to a roof for a sit, goto the victim and then use either their steam ID or tab menu to bring them to you.
DO NOT WRITE OUT THEIR NAME AS THIS MAY BRING OTHER PEOPLE! Same goes for bringing them back.
Once you have them together ask the potential rule breaker what happened, try to let them speak one at a time. Remain calm and productive, do not try to rush through anything.
If either of them have evidence go over it and access who broke the rule and which rule they broke. Let them know they broke this rule and go over it with them, ask them to read the rules by typing !motd or /motd. (Also talking to the NPC helper at spawn)
If neither have evidence and their statements are conflicting then tell them you are sorry and there isn't much you can do at this point as you do not want to be biased and it's against your rules as a mod to punish without a confession or evidence.
If either have sufficient evidence (as stated in the rules by REDPOWDER, which I would tell them where to read) or a confession then you may either warn the rule breaker verbally or directly by typing /warn STEAM ID
REASON. (which we would have gone over previously)
Tell them you hope this doesn't happen again and be respectful to each of them, do not give into trolls/minges as they want to make you angry and give a reaction.
Tell them to have a nice day and notify them you are bringing them back.
After that mark the F1 as finished and continue RPing or
if there are no mods/admins on or a few F1's then continue doing F1's as this is your duty as a mod, to help the community.
Id tell them if they feel someone is a rule breaker then ask a Admin to spectate them, or if they need help with an F1 or any sit then feel free to use @ chat to ask for help.
If there are no admins on and none are online via steam friends, then I would suggest they kick the toxic player, do it again so they know they are not wanted on this server, if they keep coming back then give them warnings for what they're doing wrong until they get the 1 hour ban.
DO NOT RANDOMLY WARN THEM THOUGH. Bring them to the roof and try your best to let them know they will be banned, if they continue then issue the warnings for whichever rules they are breaking until they get the 1 hour ban. If they do come back after the 3rd warning,
do no immediately just warn them,
GIVE THEM A CHANCE.
If they simply refuse to comply with the rules then you would have no choice to issue the last warning and have them banned for an hour.
TIPS: Do not try to bring a person more than once as this will bring them back to their previous location, instead find a good open spot on a roof and bring them there. (so they don't fall off) People will try to trick you so watch out. Make sure you listen to every detail and spot lies. Do not let people control your emotions, stay calm and relaxed. Friend or not, do not side with either party as this can lead to mistakes. Gather all evidence and make sure it is valid, as people can make it look like someone did something even though they didn't. (especially with screenshots)
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 you banned them permanently for propspam, and that this is their first ban. How would your response to the appeal be?
If I truly feel the person is sorry and it was either an accident or maybe they weren't thinking straight then i would go over it with the rest of the staff and ask them what their opinion is on the player's response.
If the person has a long history of many warnings then I would say I think its well deserved and tell them maybe in the future they can appeal again.
If they do not have a history I would ask the HA's to check if they have linked accounts with warnings/bans, if they do not then I will take it into consideration to reduce the ban. So depending on the situation it can go either way...
For me though you would have to seriously minge/troll a lot for me to
permaban you for propspam, so I doubt that would ever happen unless it's an alt from a rulebreaker or serious prop spamming.
IF ACCEPTED
ACCEPTED
Your ban will be reduced and I hope this doesn't again happen in the future. Thank you.
IF DENIED
DENIED
Sorry, but your recent history and failure to comply with the rules has resulted in the ban to stay.
Feel free to appeal again in the future if you honestly feel you won't break anymore rules.
Why I should be promoted (we recommend around 150 words).
I feel that I should be promoted because I would be able to do so much more in helping out the community in getting rid of toxic players, the abilities that admins have make it much more efficient to weed out certain people and I feel I could use that to benefit the server. My time as a mod hasn't been long but I have learned much from it and believe I am ready to become an admin. It would be better overall because I wouldn't have to keep asking people to spectate someone for me or to do delete a prop or unown a door, when they can be doing other things to benefit the server such as spectating someone else or doing an f1 or making sure no one is breaking rules. I truly believe it would give me the chance to prove myself and further help the server in many ways. As before, I would not abuse my powers or use them to benefit my role play experience in any way, shape or form.
Thank you for taking your time to read this
