Waltz's Moderator Application The Third

[Waltz]

a1) What is your in-game (RP) name? -- It is Waltz, as it has always been! My Steam name is LunaError.

a2) Provide a link to your Steam profile. -- My Steam profile link is https://steamcommunity.com/id/LunaError/

a3) What is your Discord Tag? (ie: SomeUser#1234) -- My Discord tag is LunaWaltz#2900.

a4) What timezone are you located in? -- I am located in Ohio, Eastern Standard Time.

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

a6) Have you ever been banned? If so, explain why? -- Never!

a7) Do you have any prior staffing experience? If so, where? -- On top of having staffed for multiple DarkRP, LightRP, Sandbox, and TTT servers since 2008 (ForestRP comes to mind), I have also owned and operated several. Additionally, I was a Senior Moderator here on Xeno twice, was never demoted or received a staff strike, and handled over 3000 tickets. While moderating on Xeno, I made a cheat sheet for new moderators, which can be viewed here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1LU7LCCYfwtuxIsZBYeD4Pe1bql0tCizKdHVNF6Yny2A/edit?usp=sharing

Please answer these questions with your honest opinion.
b1) Why do you want to volunteer for XenoRP? -- Both times I have moderated on Xeno before have been incredible experiences. I made lifelong friends, and had an extremely good time. Now that Xeno is up and running again, I'd love to help it grow once more.

b2) If you were to get accepted, what do you think would make you a good moderator? -- On top of my plethora of experience-- having moderated for Garry's Mod RP servers since it was called LightRP-- I've been told I am a very fair, chill, and pleasant moderator who knows exactly how to interpret the rules and dole out punishment as needed.

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 Random Deathmatch, in which a player kills (or attempts to kill-- ARDM) another player for no valid RP reason. RDA is the same concept, standing for Random Arrest, in which a member of the PD arrests a player for no valid RP reason. On first or second infractions, depending on the situation, I would almost always issue a Warn. On third and above infractions, I would usually issue a 2-week ban for Mass RDM or Mass RDA. But again, context is everything, so depending on the situation the punishment may be slightly different.

c2) Explain "NLR" and provide examples of instances in which it is violated. -- NLR is the New Life Rule. Once you are killed in a valid RP manner, you may not return to that area for 120 seconds (2 minutes). In the instance of RP events such as Raids or PD Raids, you may not return to the raid until the raid is concluded if you are killed in one. For example, if one is being raided and is killed, one may not return to their base until the raid is over. In a PD Raid, when police officers are killed, they likewise cannot return to the PD until the raid has concluded.

c3) Define "metagame" and provide examples of its occurrence. -- Metagaming, put simply, is using information gained outside of RP to help yourself in RP situations. For example, this could mean issuing a warrant to a Meth Cook because you hear meth cooking noises inside of their house, or using text/voice chat to check who is in a base before you raid it. It could also involve third-party software, like Discord-- telling your friend where you are in Discord so they can help you out, or similar situations.

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 record as much evidence as possible, and post it on the forums in the Report A Staff Member folder.

d2) During a sit, you see someone outside of the sit Mass RDMing. How do you handle the situation? -- If no other staff are available, I would immediately jail and deal with the Mass RDMer before returning to my earlier sit. If necessary, I would jail the person I'm in a sit with.

d3) Only two other players are online, and they're building in the streets. -- Unfortunately, the rules still apply no matter how many people are online. I would suggest to the players that they switch to Hobo and build on the sidewalks. If they continue despite my warnings, I would issue warns as necessary.

 

Thanks for reading my application! I've been lurking in the Discord for a while now, eagerly waiting for news of the server's return. Now that it's back, I can't wait to play on it again, and I would love to be a part of this new beginning as a member of staff once more.
