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

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

I do not, but I believe Xeno is a great place to begin.

 

Please answer these questions with your honest opinion.

b1) Why do you want to volunteer for XenoRP?
I've been playing this server for a really long time & It's grown to be one of my favorite DarkRP servers ever really.  The community is filled with such nice people & I've had so much fun while playing on this server.
b2) If you were to get accepted, what do you think would make you a good moderator?
Well, In my last application I was deemed and labeled as a fairly "mingy" player.  But I personally believe that statement is an inaccurate representation of who I am. 
If I was accepted I would give all of my effort towards my job as a Trial-moderator.  I would take it extremely serious and would prove that I am not mingy. After playing this server for a few years I have an extremely well understanding of the servers rules. I'm also an extremely friendly person so I would be very friendly with the players I interact with. Overall, I would be greatly committed to it if given the chance.

 

Please provide descriptive answers for the following questions:

c1) Define RDM/RDA and describe how players who perform those actions should be punished.
RDM stands for "Random Deathmatch" this is when a player attempts to or does kill another player with no reasoning related to roleplaying. 
An example of this is if a player is walking on the sidewalk and then another player comes up to them and kills them randomly.

When it comes to punishments, rdm x1 is a warn , rdm x2 is a warn, and rdm x3 is mrdm which is an automatic 2-week ban.

RDA stands for "Random Arrest" which is when a player who is roleplaying as a government related job randomly arrest a player for no RP reasoning behind it.
An example of this is if a player is walking around the map and is then stunned and arrested for no reason.

The punishments for this is identical to RDM.
c2) Explain "NLR" and provide examples of instances in which it is violated.
NLR Which stands for "New Life Rule" is the understanding that you're not allowed to return to your place of death for 2 minutes. This applies to raids aswell which means if you're hypothetically killed during a raid you are not allowed to return to your base until the raids completion. 
A good example of NLR being broken is if a player raids the pd and kills a police officer, and then that police officer returns immediately and kills the player.  The player roleplaying as the officer just broke NLR and if reported by the victim, can be warned.
c3) Define "metagame" and provide examples of its occurrence.
Metagaming is when a person uses sources outside of roleplaying for in-game situations.  
An example of metagaming is if somebody puts in out of character chat that somebody has bitminers and printers in their base just from hearing it outside. Then a pro thief who read chat goes and raids this base. That player is using an out of game source to their RP advantage.

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 immediately begin to record the situation before continuing any further. I would also message and alert the higher ups and admins about this and would provide the video proof.
d2) During a sit, you see someone outside of the sit Mass RDMing. How do you handle the situation?
I would pause the current sit and then first jail the mass rdmer, after doing so & seeing how many players the person rdmed, I would ban the player for 2 weeks for MRDM.
d3) Only two other players are online, and they're building in the streets.
After removing the props, I would verbally notify the player that this is not allowed even if currently nobody around them is roleplaying. I would also let them know that they would need to be a hobo and could only build on the sidewalk. If they continue to build in the street after my verbal warning I would then give the person a official warning for prop minge. If they continue on I would give them a ban for Prop Minge with No real intention to roleplay.
