15. Why do you believe that you deserve the rank? (150 Word Minimum) Alright, here we go a second round! First off, for those reading this the day it came out, Happy New Years! Starting from trial-mod, I have learned so many ways to handle situations not only in-game, but in the real world as well. I have learned patience and better ways to handle situations as smoothly as possible. I think I deserve this rank because I have put in a lot of dedication and time on the server over the past few months staffing. I ensure everyone follows the server’s rules while helping any player in a calm and friendly manner. When I jump on the server, I always take initiative when given the chance and work logically when handling sits/staffing. Furthermore, I typically come with a nice and genial attitude to assist players with their needs and issues. I am always looking for opportunities to help out with regular players along with lower ranking staff since I have a good amount of experience that could help and improve their work. Since working with other staff members, I understand that many of us may not share the same opinion which may lead to a conflict but, nonetheless, I always attempt to find a compromise. I treat my fellow staff members with respect and a Rektify-friendly attitude. Additionally, I see that my fellow staff members need help (whether they are tired after being on duty for hours or need to hop off) and I want to pull the workload off of them when I RP. I wish to be a role model for staff members, one that does not mind answering obvious questions or the tedious work while keeping up a smile and positive attitude so that they may learn to better themselves after watching the way I handle different situations. Yet, when I am faced with those that minge or are stubbornly wrong, I am also very forward, stern and I call things how I see it. Some of you may remember that I had a mingy past but I firmly trust that I have become more mature through my time on the server. I do my best to be as active as I can, both in server and forums (which is almost everyday now). The last few months were dedicated to staff since I did not have a RP life in game. My time over the last few years when I was admin for a Zombie RP server helped in terms of what to expect of players and how to handle any situation as calmly and reasonably as I can. On top of all that, I have been in a command position for two different branches during my time on the server, allowing me to become familiar with handling different scenarios. Gaminglight is a fantastic community, surrounded by people who want to simply have fun and make the best out of it. I honestly want to take a more active role in helping Gaminglight (perhaps joining Forum diplomat or becoming support). I even had the honor to be in two RP command positions, allowing me to build my skills in terms of leadership. I really hope you consider my application and I’ll see you on the server!
16. How would you handle someone that is Mass RDMing and when you bring him/her to an admin sit all they do is a curse at you? I would bring the player to one of the staff rooms and freeze the player if he decides to minge/ARDM while the sit is in session. I would then ask the player to settle down but, if they continue to curse at me, I will gag them until I see fit to ungag them (depending on their maturity). If the player has either relaxed or been gagged, I would tell the player why they were brought to the sit, explain to them that mass RDM is unacceptable on the server and there will be a punishment given. After speaking, I would check their warnings in order to find out if they have reached their 10th, 20th, 30th or 40th warning and consider that on top of the Mass RDMs. I will then check the blogs to see how many players they had killed during the Mass RDM and take their SteamID in case they decide to LTAP. If the player did Mass RDM, they will be given a warn for all the rules they had broken and I will give a 4-5 day ban for the player (which can also be influenced by other rule infringement and their warns).
17: Please pick and answer one of the questions only if applying for Senior Moderator. If applying for Admin pick two and answer them. If applying for Senior Admin you must answer all three. Answering more than the required amount of questions for the rank you are applying for will result in your application being denied.
Q1: You are involved in a staff sit that involves 5 different players. The players begin to get frustrated and the sit becomes very toxic and unproductive. What would you do in this situation? First, I would bring everyone into a staff room and politely ask everyone to settle down and relax. Depending on how far they take their toxicity, it may lead to a gag and possibly a warn if they push it far enough. Then, I would check logs and see what happened during such an event (ex: RDM/Chat issue, etc.). But if it is something that can not be checked in blogs and the sit is going nowhere, then I would ask each player to kindly stay away from each other if their toxicity is being directed towards each other. I would then say that if I find them with each other and being toxic, they (the parties involved) will get individual warnings for their behavior.
Q2: In your opinion, what is the best way to handle a situation involving a player that clearly does not care about the punishments they are receiving? I believe that giving the player their punishment that is correctly justified and sending them on their way (aka: return them) is good enough. If the player says something such as “I don’t care about the punishment, just give me my warn” or “Ban me then” then I will do just that (if the infringement calls for the punishment) and return them without pushing the sit any further.
Q3: There is a player abusing a known bug, and he has been reported to staff. He swears he followed the server rules when you talk with him. What's the best way to handle this? It depends whether or not there is evidence to support the player abusing a bug. If there is video evidence (or if staff witnessed it), then they can take action. Depending on the staff, the player could be let off with a verbal warning (which I typically do the first time around), an actual warn or a ban if they constantly abuse it. Not only that, if staff has evidence or witness the player abusing a known bug and they swear they follow server rules, then clearly they are lying to staff. This will be taken into careful consideration when giving the punishment.
