Matt - Today at 13:42
alright
ready?

Yonnimer - Today at 13:43
Ye

Matt - Today at 13:43
so, to make sure you are familiar with the tools you have as a moderator I'll go over them real quick

Yonnimer - Today at 13:44

Matt - Today at 13:44
Admin PM: You can bwoink the guy.

tell me when you've read over all of this stuff and we'll begin

Yonnimer - Today at 13:44
read them

Matt - Today at 13:45
you notice someone by the name of 'Ultra Instinct Goku', an assistant with a white afro spawns in cryogenic storage. they promptly take a fuel tank and start heading for the elevator. what do you do?

Yonnimer - Today at 13:46
How new is the account?
At least, I would check that first.

Matt - Today at 13:46
0 days

Yonnimer - Today at 13:47
Do they have a welding tool in their hand?

Matt - Today at 13:47
Yes.

Yonnimer - Today at 13:48
I would PM them, asking what they're doing, but if they turned the welding tool on I would wind them. With the same question.

Matt - Today at 13:49
You wind them as they turn their welding tool on, and they just ignore you.

Yonnimer - Today at 13:50
I would tell them how to respond to the PM, and they needed to answer to be unwinded.

Matt - Today at 13:50
They don't respond.

Yonnimer - Today at 13:52
I would tell them if they don't respond that a ban will be placed, a simple "hi" would work, and give them a few more minutes.

Matt - Today at 13:52
After a few seconds of waiting they finally reply with 'what the fuck do you want admin'

Yonnimer - Today at 13:54
I would ask them what they're doing with the welding tool, and tell them their name also needs to be changed, as it needs to be a name with just a first name, last name, not what they picked.(edited)

Matt - Today at 13:56
They say: "i'm roleplaying goku's ki blasts by exploding people with welder bombs"
They also say "I don't want to change my name, get fucked"

Yonnimer - Today at 14:00
I would tell them that they need to play realistic character,  with a realistic name if they're a human. and a reference character isn't allowed either, which goku would be. They also can't welder  bomb  people as a non-antagonist, and I would ask if they understand.

Matt - Today at 14:01
They tell you "the server is dumb like your face"

Yonnimer - Today at 14:03
Mods can apply up to a three day ban, right?
At least, trials.

Matt - Today at 14:03
you can apply any duration of ban that isn't permaban
same goes for the jobbans

Yonnimer - Today at 14:06
I would tell them that they need to read the rules of the server,  and that they would be banned for a day.

Matt - Today at 14:06
They tell you "fuck you"
And log off.

Yonnimer - Today at 14:08
I would apply the ban, reasoning for self antagonism, and disrespect with their responses while PMing.

Matt - Today at 14:08
alright
is that all?

Yonnimer - Today at 14:08
Yeah.

Matt - Today at 14:17
sorry for the delay something came up
Alright, next scenario
it's a round with 25 people total, you are the only server staff online with 15 people playing, it is voted mercenary. The mercs boarded via merchant dock and have entered cargo.

You notice the QM is singlehandedly fighting the mercs off using cargo-bought weapons. One merc is in crit, the other 3 are fighting. The critted merc ahelps complaining about the situation.
What do you do?

Yonnimer - Today at 14:20
I would ask the merc if they said anything before getting on station, and ask if the QM opened fire on them without saying anything.

Matt - Today at 14:20
The mercenary says that their plan was to enter cargo to go down the lift and rush the bridge, but the QM is getting in the way. They say that they told the QM to stick their hands up and the QM started firing at them soon after.

Yonnimer - Today at 14:21
I would tell them i'll look into it, and PM the QM saying first that they can take a moment to answer, but ask why they're fighting the mercs.

Matt - Today at 14:22
The QM replies that he found the gun in the cargo warehouse, so it's fair game as he got the gun using IC means. They also say that they had no choice since the mercs were entering cargo, and he had to fight or be taken hostage.

Yonnimer - Today at 14:23
What type of guns did the QM have?

Matt - Today at 14:23
a bullpup rifle
aka the ERT assault rifle

Yonnimer - Today at 14:24
Are there any cargo techs active?

Matt - Today at 14:25
nope

Yonnimer - Today at 14:25
Am I able to check cargo orders without spawning in?
Actually, nevermind, thought of something.
I would look around for a crate the QM orderd, with a paper about a order for the gun.
I would also tell the QM that they shouldn't be firing a millitary grade rifle as a QM
Is the crate lying around with the order form?

Matt - Today at 14:29
It seems they've ordered the bullpup at roundstart.
It's not, but VVing a clipboard you can see the paper detailing the order.

Yonnimer - Today at 14:29
I would also ask them about the paper, in that case.
and tell them to please tell the truth.

Matt - Today at 14:30
They say they did order the bullpup rifle at roundstart.

Yonnimer - Today at 14:32
I would tell them I can see the order, and that ordering something like that on a voted merc round could be considered metagaming
Do they have any warnings or notes about metagaming?

Matt - Today at 14:32
They have a few notes about metagaming and a warning about it.

Yonnimer - Today at 14:32
How long ago was the warning?

Matt - Today at 14:33
1 month ago

Yonnimer - Today at 14:33
Anything about ordering weapons on a voted round, or something similar to it?

Matt - Today at 14:34
Nope, just standard metagaming about antags.

Yonnimer - Today at 14:35
Any response after informing them that what they're doing is metaing?

Matt - Today at 14:36
No, they just tell you they actually did order the crate at roundstart.
In the meantime 2 mercs have died, the other 2 are still fighting the QM.

Yonnimer - Today at 14:39
I'll ask them to be honest next time, and tell them that they're receiving a severe warning, and another incident with metagaming will likely result in a ban. And tell them they should of ran, and informed security of what was happening, not fighting back personally.

Matt - Today at 14:40
Alright. Is that all?

Yonnimer - Today at 14:41
I would note in the warning  that they were a QM, ordering a gun to fight antags on a voted roundtype. But that would be it.

Matt - Today at 14:41
That's fine.
Ready for the next scenario?

Yonnimer - Today at 14:41
Yes.

Matt - Today at 14:42
alright
let me fetch it real quick
You are not alone for this one-- there are a moderator and a secondary admin online.
You're observing around when suddenly you see two security officers shooting eachother with energy carbines on lethal filling up your logs. You're told to investigate it.
What do you do?(edited)

Yonnimer - Today at 14:43
What's the roundtype, and are any of them antags?

Matt - Today at 14:43
Roundtype is extended.

Yonnimer - Today at 14:43
Neither got random antagged?

Matt - Today at 14:43
Nope.
Both are nonantags.

Yonnimer - Today at 14:43
Is the code yellow or blue?

Matt - Today at 14:44
Green.
It seems like there were a bunch of carps, but the alert just passed and they were on the way to return them.

Yonnimer - Today at 14:45
I would wind them, and ask what they're doing.

Matt - Today at 14:46
They reply that their two characters had always hated eachother, and today was the culmination of it. After a lot of radio insults, they started fighting with their fists, and now the fight has escalated into a lethal fight with the carbines.
Checking over the logs, you can find this is true. They did indeed go from fists to carbine.

Yonnimer - Today at 14:47
Did they try stuns at any point?
At least, with the carbines?

Matt - Today at 14:47
Seems not.

Yonnimer - Today at 14:48
Any warnings or notes on either of them about  something similar?

Matt - Today at 14:48
Nope.

Yonnimer - Today at 14:49
I would tell them they shouldn't jump from fists to lethals, but I would just be giving them each a note, and unwind them.

Matt - Today at 14:49
Alright.
Is that all?

Yonnimer - Today at 14:49
Yes.

Matt - Today at 14:49
Sure.
A few personal questions now, and then we'll be done.
Ready?

Yonnimer - Today at 14:50
Alright
Ready.

Matt - Today at 14:50
What do you think about the current state of server moderation?

Yonnimer - Today at 14:51
I feel it's fine, most ahelps i've done fealt like they were investigated properly.(edited)
Internet is being a bit wierd, so a message might skip if it doesn't send right.

Matt - Today at 14:52
Let's say you had the power to change one thing about the server. What would you change?
dont think that'll be a problem, interview's almost over

Yonnimer - Today at 14:53
Only big thing I could think of is a longer age on the state for someone to be able to get antag.
At least, something better then being able to log in, not play, and a week later be able to play wizard.

Matt - Today at 14:54
last one
There are many styles of moderating, some people are harsher while others are much more lax. Which one do you think you'll be enforcing and why?

Yonnimer - Today at 14:56
I would like to think I would be more lenient, giving someone a extra chance if they understand what they did, since i would like to think i'm lenient in most things things I do.

Matt - Today at 14:56
alright
that is all
are you comfortable with this interview being posted on your app?

Yonnimer - Today at 14:56
I'm fine with it.
