Sandvich Interview

As far as admin/moderator powers go, are you aware of what they have on this server, or do you need them listed?
F.B.I.Today at 8:04 PM
I know them, but can you list them just in case?
tbear13/brm375Today at 8:05 PM
Sure.
AdminPM
Varview an object (mostly player mobs to check attack logs inflicted by and on said mob. Represented by VV)
check notes, including bans and warnings
putting notes, mod/admin visible only
putting warnings, with a part visible to players and part only for staff
putting temp bans and jobbans
winding (adminfreezing)
You can also have other mods or admins permaban, and mute people from specific channels.
F.B.I.Today at 8:06 PM
okay
tbear13/brm375Today at 8:08 PM
Alright, so, before we start on anything else, you're a mentor on SCP-13, correct?
F.B.I.Today at 8:08 PM
Indeed
tbear13/brm375Today at 8:09 PM
Unfortunately, because of Aurora policy, you can't be staff on multiple servers at once.
F.B.I.Today at 8:10 PM
That will not be a promblem
I told them I might leave
tbear13/brm375Today at 8:10 PM
Alright.
Any more questions or add-ons before we begin?
F.B.I.Today at 8:11 PM
just one, do you get PP?
as a mod at least
tbear13/brm375Today at 8:11 PM
Forgot to mention that, oops. Mods do get a PP, yes.
F.B.I.Today at 8:12 PM
alright, I have no more then
tbear13/brm375Today at 8:12 PM
Great.
One more I forgot to mention, actually. You can defuse a weldertank, stopping it from blowing up.
So, a bald assistant joins, with the name "Rad McLad." He makes a beeline for tool storage, where he silently grabs a set of tools, insulated gloves,  and an igniter and signaller, which he mounts on a welding tank.
How would you handle that?
F.B.I.Today at 8:15 PM
I start by PM him, and ask him what he is doing and to change his name for a Aurora standards
tbear13/brm375Today at 8:15 PM
He ignores you, and begins dragging the tank towards the elevators.
F.B.I.Today at 8:16 PM
I PM him again, telling him he can click on my name to respond to the PM
tbear13/brm375Today at 8:16 PM
He continues to ignore you, and starts going down the elevator.
F.B.I.Today at 8:17 PM
I disarm the welder tank, and freeze him, I check his notes: How old is the account?
tbear13/brm375Today at 8:17 PM
Zero days old.
F.B.I.Today at 8:18 PM
I tell him he can click my name to respond again, and ask him what he is doing again
tbear13/brm375Today at 8:18 PM
He responds "Aloha Snackbar!"
F.B.I.Today at 8:19 PM
I PM him "Have you read the Aurora rules, and do you understand you can be breaking some right now?"
tbear13/brm375Today at 8:20 PM
He doesn't respond, and disconnects.
F.B.I.Today at 8:20 PM
I have his Key, so I apply a four day ban, add a note to his key, and tell other admins to watch for him
tbear13/brm375Today at 8:22 PM
Alright. As a (heh) note, bans show up in the notes tab, and you don't need to manually add one after the ban.
F.B.I.Today at 8:22 PM
ah
tbear13/brm375Today at 8:23 PM
Anything else to add, or shall I move onto the next one?
F.B.I.Today at 8:23 PM
I think I might have gone a bit to much with a four day ban, I think a one day would have done it
tbear13/brm375Today at 8:25 PM
A blatant griefer like the previous one is generally permabanned, rather than given a short tempban.
Anyway, onto the next one.
Twenty minutes into the round, two raiders ahelp that a scientist is powergaming. From the logs, it appears there is a gunfight between the scientist and raiders going on, and the scientist is winning.
One of the raiders who ahelped is in critical, and the other three are still fighting, though wounded to some extent.
What do you do?
F.B.I.Today at 8:28 PM
I would respond to the merc I will look into it, then I ask him if they escalated the situation correctly
tbear13/brm375Today at 8:29 PM
The raider responds that they didn't start the fight, and that the scientist attacked them in the main hallway a few minutes after they boarded.
F.B.I.Today at 8:29 PM
What kind of weapon does the scientist have, and does he have anything in his notes about an event like this before?
tbear13/brm375Today at 8:30 PM
The scientist has a note and a warning about powergaming, and a warning about metagaming.
He's using an AEG and a lawgiver, and he has forcegloves as well.
F.B.I.Today at 8:31 PM
So, I PM the scientist and freeze him, so the round isn't ruined for the rest of the station. I pm with "You know civs are not supposed to charge in and fight?"
tbear13/brm375Today at 8:33 PM
In most cases, it's staff policy to avoid winding people in lethal fights, because the other side will most likely kill them without realizing they're winded.
F.B.I.Today at 8:33 PM
I thought an looc message comes up
Does it not?
tbear13/brm375Today at 8:34 PM
It does, but most people won't see it in the middle of a firefight.
F.B.I.Today at 8:34 PM
mm..good point
Instead of freezing him, I would let the fight go on, but PM him with the same message
tbear13/brm375Today at 8:36 PM
He responds "They're intruders, and security didn't try to fight them, so I had to."
F.B.I.Today at 8:37 PM
I respond with "You are not allowed to do this, and already have notes about it. I assume someone has already talked to you about it"
tbear13/brm375Today at 8:39 PM
He responds "I've never been talked to about fighting before."
F.B.I.Today at 8:40 PM
I respond with "You have a note about power gaming, and a warning"
tbear13/brm375Today at 8:40 PM
He says "I don't have any warnings. You're lying."
F.B.I.Today at 8:41 PM
I respond with" I have them here, do not try to lie. Did you build the weapons?"
tbear13/brm375Today at 8:42 PM
He responds "I'm not lying. I made the guns because it's voted heist, so I knew about the raiders. I was gonna give them to security but the raiders got here before I could."
F.B.I.Today at 8:43 PM
I respond with" You can check your warnings under the ooc tab, you also have a meta gaming warning"
" This falls under the meta gaming category, you are supposed to not know raiders are coming"
tbear13/brm375Today at 8:44 PM
"Since when? It's never been a problem before!"
His metagaming warning is for a similar offense.
F.B.I.Today at 8:46 PM
I respond with "Your metagaming warning has a similar offense, have you read the Aurora station rules.?"
tbear13/brm375Today at 8:47 PM
"Yes, I have read the rules! You're interfering with my RP, shut up and leave me alone now!"
F.B.I.Today at 8:49 PM
" I respond with, this is very poor RP. A ban will be applied for two weeks for metagaming after a warning was given, and for powergaming after another warning was given. You can use that time to read our rules about RP, and you can always apply at our forums if you felt this was handled wrong. "
I close the ticket and apply the ban
tbear13/brm375Today at 8:50 PM
Alright. Do you send anything else to the raiders? Would you have an admin rejuv them?
F.B.I.Today at 8:51 PM
how many of them are left?
tbear13/brm375Today at 8:52 PM
Three were put in critical or killed, and the one still standing is hurt pretty badly.
F.B.I.Today at 8:53 PM
I would PM them "I have dealt with the scientist, though I can not bring you back. That would be poor RP. I am sorry the round finished like this."
Is medical staff on?
Or a CMO that can clone?
tbear13/brm375Today at 8:54 PM
There is, but it's unlikely that they would clone a hostile intruder.
F.B.I.Today at 8:56 PM
I would use the voice in my head thing to tell a merc "Maybe I can take the CMO hostage and force him to clone my fallen comrade."
tbear13/brm375Today at 8:56 PM
Alright. Anything else?
F.B.I.Today at 8:56 PM
nope
tbear13/brm375Today at 8:58 PM
Great, onto the next one
So, you notice an admin, a security main, often spawns in weapons, ghosts to find antags, and heals himself after, or during fights. What do you do about them?
F.B.I.Today at 8:59 PM
What is his rank?
To see if I need to grab a higher ranking admin to help me
tbear13/brm375Today at 9:00 PM
He's a primary admin.
F.B.I.Today at 9:02 PM
I would contact the head admin about it, and while waiting for a respond from the HA, I pm the primary admin with "I noticed you have been spawning in weapons , ghosting to fights, and  you heal yourself during the fights"
tbear13/brm375Today at 9:03 PM
They respond "I was testing powers. It's none of your business."
F.B.I.Today at 9:03 PM
" This is an abuse of power, and powergaming/metagaming"
" Can you do it on your own hosted server instead of during rounds?"
tbear13/brm375Today at 9:05 PM
They ignore you.
F.B.I.Today at 9:05 PM
Does the head admin respond?
tbear13/brm375Today at 9:06 PM
He says he'll look into it.
F.B.I.Today at 9:07 PM
I check his notes for anything like this before
tbear13/brm375Today at 9:07 PM
An admin with history of abuse like that most likely wouldn't still have the job. Anything else?
F.B.I.Today at 9:09 PM
Can I apply a ban as a mod. If not, are other admins on?
tbear13/brm375Today at 9:09 PM
You can't ban admins.
F.B.I.Today at 9:10 PM
Then I would tell people in the staff room discord to watch him for this again, and let the head admin do his job
tbear13/brm375Today at 9:11 PM
Okay. Just two more simple questions.
So, if you could change one thing about the server, what would it be?
F.B.I.Today at 9:15 PM
Perhaps redo security in a way that reinforces RP instead of shooting so people don't end up with warnings and bans like me. They are a security force and shouldn't be able to take down heavily armed people, and should focus on saving civs more then taking down the bad guys. I would even go as far to say remove the armory.
tbear13/brm375Today at 9:16 PM
Alright. On the staff side, would you change anything about moderation?
F.B.I.Today at 9:17 PM
Not at all, they do a great job as far I can see. They are kind and always give second chances to people who will cooperate with staff members
tbear13/brm375Today at 9:18 PM
Great. That was the last question. Anything else to add?
F.B.I.Today at 9:18 PM
Not at all
tbear13/brm375Today at 9:19 PM
Are you good with this being posted to the forums?
F.B.I.Today at 9:19 PM
Yup
tbear13/brm375Today at 9:21 PM
Cool.
