What is your staff rank and the server you work in? Senior Admin on SCP RP
How often are you online on the forums? I am usually on multiple times a day.
Why do you believe you're qualified to serve as a Forum Diplomat?
I have no experience being a forum diplomat or anything similar. However, I know the forum's rules, and I try to come at everything from an unbiased standpoint. I have spent a large amount in this community, so I generally know what is expected of people. I may not be perfect for the job, but I hope that I can have the chance to try and use this as a new experience to help a greater part of the server.
Would you consider yourself to have good judgement? If so, please describe a situation that required you to make a difficult decision?
I would say that I have good judgment. In my time on the server, I have seen many things change. From people getting promoted to a whole new map to a change in management, I have been around for a while, and I'd like to think that I know a good deal. However, I always try to ask other staff members around me if they have the same perspective and discuss it with them.
A few months ago there was someone who joined the server and maybe after 10-20 mins of playtime said the N-Word. He didn't mean anything wrong by it and was genuinely very nice to me and other players, but he didn't know the rule. He apologized greatly and after I told him I had to ban him for 7 days he was never toxic or rude. He just said something along the lines of "alright, I guess I'll see you in a week. I look forward to seeing you around." I had to ban him due to our no-tolerance policy. Afterward, I was genuinely sorry for the guy, but I knew I had to do it. That was probably the hardest ban for me to do simply because the guy didn't know the rules, but upon closing the MOTD popup you are agreeing to the rules. Unfortunately, he broke them.
How would you deal with a situation where a user is spamming in various topics due to getting banned from one of our servers?
I would put them under content moderation and depending on the severity/content of the posts warn/ban them as well as hide their spam posts.
How would you deal with a situation where two users are aggressively arguing with each other in a warning appeal?
I would inform them that if they do not stop the post would be locked and if they didn't stop it I would lock the post. If they then started arguing somewhere else then I would likely warn them both and potentially put them under account moderation depending on the severity of their conversation.
