JosephKY's Moderator Application

[Joseph-KY]

a1) What is your in-game (RP) name? 

• JosephKY

a2) Provide a link to your Steam profile.

• https://steamcommunity.com/id/JosephKentucky/

a3) What is your Discord Tag? (ie: SomeUser#1234)

• Joseph-ky#3147

a4) What timezone are you located in?

• Eastern Time

a5) How many in-game warns do you have?

• 0

a6) Have you ever been banned? If so, explain why?

• No

a7) Do you have any prior staffing experience? If so, where?

• I have staffed on XenoRP before. I was hired on May 23rd, and was let go on August 8th of the same year due to two activity strikes. The reasons for these strikes were due to family matters that were out of my control and which I had to tend to. In the meantime, my personal issues have been resolved and I should have a significant amount of time available for the server again.

Please answer these questions with your honest opinion.
b1) Why do you want to volunteer for XenoRP?

• I simply wish to support the server and make it a safe and fun place for everybody. A DarkRP server with efficient and quality moderation is a necessity for its existence and for the player's enjoyment. 

b2) If you were to get accepted, what do you think would make you a good moderator?

• In my time being a DarkRP moderator already, I have proven that I am able to face a situation head-on and resolve it in a way that is both fair and professional. I consider myself a great people-person and the opportunity to help others and resolve problems is an ability that I enjoy.

Please provide descriptive answers for the following questions:

c1) Define RDM/RDA and describe how players who perform those actions should be punished.

• RDM is the action when a player kills another person in game with no fair reason that accords with the rules. The way such an action should be resolved is dependent on the situation. If it was simply a mistake or done out of spite, the player should only receive a verbal or real warning. If the person who has RDM'd has done the same thing multiple times in a short timespan, the action may be considered repeated or mass RDM, which would result in a week or two week ban. 
• RDA is the action where a player who is currently roleplaying as any civil protection class with the ability to arrest performs this action onto someone else with, again, no fair reason that complies with the rules. The way a punishment is decided for this is chosen the same way a punishment for RDM is chosen. 

c2) Explain "NLR" and provide examples of instances in which it is violated.

• NLR is the action where a player who had just died in-game for a fair reason returns to the same location, and may also proceed to carry out actions in accord to the situation that they had been in before their death. One example is if a hitman receives a hit on someone, and the person in question is successfully killed by the hitman. The person who had just died proceeds to return to the same location right after respawning, and kill the hitman in retaliation. (This is also RDM)
• Another instance where this may occur is if a thief has decided to do a raid onto an enemy player's base. During the raid, they die and the raid has failed. But instead of adverting "over", they return to the same location and continue their raid even though they have just died.

c3) Define "metagame" and provide examples of its occurrence.

• Metagame is when a player considers non-rp circumstances within a situation inside of roleplay.
• One instance where this may occur is if a base owner sees in OOC chat that a player is discussing plans to raid their base. In retaliation, the base owner locates him and kills him inexplicably, calling it "self-defense".
• Another example of this happening is if a player decides to roleplay as a police officer. They immediately see a thief who is just minding their own business, and they arrest them right away due to their job role. Job roles are not considered a part of roleplay and should not be considered. 

Please explain how you would handle each of these situations:
d1) You see a higher up is abusing their powers to the highest severity, how do you react?

• I immediately contact their supervisor and/or the server owner. 

d2) During a sit, you see someone outside of the sit Mass RDMing. How do you handle the situation?

• I jail and mute the mass RDMer in a safe location so that they cannot cause anymore trouble, and then proceed to finish the sit. After the sit is complete, I confront the mass RDMer and, assuming they have no fair argument for their actions, ban them for two weeks. 

d3) Only two other players are online, and they're building in the streets.

• I tell the two players that the rules state that they cannot build on the streets. I then kindly ask them to delete their props, and also inform them that they can become the hobo class and build on the sidewalks if they want to. I also refer them to where they can read the rules.
