yespapa's Trial Moderator Application

[yespapa]

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

a2) Provide a link to your Steam profile.  https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198418629927/

a3) What is your Discord Tag? welfaredemon#1323

a4) What timezone are you located in? CST

a5) How many in-game warns do you have? 12

a6) Have you ever been banned? If so, explain why? I have 37 bans, there are many different reasons.

a7) Do you have any prior staffing experience? If so, where? Ex staff on XenoRP.

 

Please answer these questions with your honest opinion.

b1) Why do you want to volunteer for XenoRP? 

I tend to get on at weird times where there may be rule breakers but the most I can do is !votekick them, then let them rejoin. I’d like to help out and take appropriate actions against those who break the rules. 

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

I have previous staff experience on the server, and I know the rules fairly well. Although, I could use a refresher. 

 

Please provide descriptive answers for the following questions:

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

RDM or random deathmatch: is when a player kills another player for no rp reason. Dealing with a player who rdm’d can vary. If it’s clearly a new player, a verbal warning would be a good start. Maybe ask them to read the motd before continuing to RP. If the player continues it will result in a rdm warning. If the player mass rdms, that will result in a 2 week ban. 

RDA or random arrest: is when a player arrests another player for no rp reason. I would handle this the same way stated above. Take appropriate action based on their in game knowledge and time spent on the server. 

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

NLR or new life rule: is a time period of two minutes in which a player is not allowed to interact or come back to a specific area after dying in said place. Ex.) If a player successfully kills all within a base during a raid, and the defenders come back and kill the player raiding, they have broke nlr. What the defenders should do, is wait for the raider to advert over before entering the base again. 

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

Metagame is when you use information outside of your players rp knowledge. Ex.) Using discord, typing in /ooc, kill binding into a base to see what it looks like before you raid, as well as using the camera to look into bases. 

 

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?

If a higher up is abusing their power, I would gather as much sufficient evidence against them, then take it to their admin. If an admin were to be abusing privileges, I would do the same, but instead take it to the owners themselves.  

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

The most important thing is to get the mass rdmer out of an rp area and into a jail during this time. Banning someone doesn’t take much time, therefore I would ban the mass rdmer, then proceed with the current sit. 

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

Even if it is only two players online, rules are rules. I would first remove their props and ask them to become hobos, then ask them to instead build in a parking lot or on the sidewalk. If they continued to build in the street I would give them a warning then any further actions necessary.

Yespapa I know you have a large ammount of bans but recently you have showed that you can change. All of my interactions with you in the past few weeks have been good. You haven't had any punishments recently and your behavior has greatly improved. Seeing this is why I am going to give you a +1.

Stay active and clean from punishments and I'll love to see you return to the staff team. Good luck!

You do have a large amount of bans as Bubba had stated though you have changed as of recently, all interactions I've had with you have been pleasant, your behavior has improved a lot these last few weeks. 

Keep up the activity and keep following rules. I would like to see you return to the staff team.
