Lowkey's Trial Mod Application

[Lowkey]

a1) What is your in-game (RP) name?

Lowkey

a2) Provide a link to your Steam profile.

https://steamcommunity.com/id/lowkeyyeah/

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

Lowkey#2966

a4) What timezone are you located in?

Mountain Time

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

In game warn system shows I have 0 warnings

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

About 10-14 months ago I had a few bans (not sure exact amount) not sure the reasoning for each one but it was something like RDM, the major one was cheating and it was a perm that was later appealed. Haven't been banned or warned since.

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

Yes, quite a lot. I used to be a head admin on a discord server called Giveaway Central (which was renamed or deleted as of 2020) that had over 37k members. Multiple minecraft servers with player counts over 120. I was trial mod on icefuses darkrp server aswell as their military rp server. I was also a staff member/developer of a game by the name of "abs0rb.me" which is still a thing, I'm just not longer staff on there.

There's more things I've been staff on, just not able to think of them right now as there is so many.  But in general I'd say I have quite a decent amount of experience in staffing. 

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

I started playing on here sometime in 2019 (my forum account was made February 4th 2019) and have loved playing on here ever since. Its a simple server which makes it perfect, and being staff on it would be amazing. The staff team is good but whenever they're sleeping or aren't available to be on the server, it gets pretty hectic sometimes and I want to be there to help out. There's so many times I will be on and no other staff will be, meaning everyone else thinks its time to just MassRDM, making people leave and also making the experience not enjoyable. Some more reasons I want to volunteer for XenoRP is that I want a better chance at directly talking to other players, for example a sit. I'm very active and can be dedicated to anything, like volunteering on here.

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

I've been playing GMOD for awhile now like atleast 3 years so I have a good understanding of how everything works, so I'll be able to help people with things other moderators might not know. I'm pretty chill and mature, sometimes I goof around a little bit (not in serious situations though). I'm very active and on at different times most moderators are, so times the rule breakers get on. I'm very familiar with this servers rules and how stuff is on here so I think I would be a good pick.

Please provide descriptive answers for the following questions:

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

RDM short for Random Deathmatch, is when someone will kill a player for no valid reason or if they're mad over something that player did. An example of RDM is revenge RDM, where a player gets killed and wants revenge so goes back and kills the player that killed them. Another example is Mass RDM, where a player RDMs x3 or more people within a short time which is a major offence and will usually result in a 2 week ban. ARDM is also a thing and its short for Attempted RDM, its basically RDM but you fail at killing the person. 

RDA is the same but for arresting, so if you're a cop and you arrest someone for no valid reason or because you feel like it.

Offences like the ones talked about above usually result in a warning the first time done, but when repeated or done in mass amounts, will result in worsened punishments. 

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

NLR is the New Life Rule. An example of an NLR rule being broken is when you're killed during a raid or get killed for other reasons and you come back within the same area for 2 minutes. You are not allowed to do this and will usually result in a warn the first time done, continued to do will result in a worse punishment.

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

Metagame is when you use knowledge that your person wouldn't remember or know in a realistic situation. An example would be your friends telling you what they can see if they died in a players base or telling you where someone is even if they're dead. Another example of this would be if you're kidnapped and tell your friends where you are even though you wouldn't be able to in that situation.

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 would get a recording of it and have it as evidence, then I would submit a staff report. If it is way out of hand and I don't have time to make a staff report I would dm a person even higher up then the person abusing. I would also some what try to get the person to stop so that players getting affected by it don't have a worse time or leave. If I feel like trying to stop the person would make it worse I wouldn't get involved.

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

I jail the person Mass RDMing and deal with the sit I'm currently in. Once I'm done my current sit I would go deal with the person MassRDMing. If the person who was MassRDMing needs to be dealt with at that exact time I would try to get a staff to do it if I can't.

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

The rules are the rules, doesn't matter however many people are on. I would go up to them and ask them to stop building in the street and to switch to hobo if they want to build on sidewalks, if they don't listen I would warn them and delete the props. If it isn't disturbing anyone and it isn't anything bad I wouldn't be as strict.

Your previous bans give us some concern's towards your ability to staff.
