Yonnimer — Today at 12:47 PM
Alright I should be, you all ready? This'll probably take 30 minutes to an hour
Rotharia — Today at 12:47 PM
Good with me!
Yonnimer — Today at 12:47 PM
Also if you need a break to handle something that's fine
Rotharia — Today at 12:47 PM
I should be fine, house is empty right now but I'll let you know!
Yonnimer — Today at 12:47 PM
So, two things, do you need a generalized list of commands/perms you'll get as a mod?
Rotharia — Today at 12:48 PM
I'm familiar with the bog standard stuff from being an admin previously, like Aghost, bwoinking, viewing variables, etc. But if there's stuff that's been released since or anything like that I will need it yes.
Yonnimer — Today at 12:49 PM
Admin PMs,
Aghosting, which allows you to ghost from your body to look at something, then return to it.
Check AI laws,
Check Antagonists
Check the date when players first joined the server
Dead-admin, which allows you to have your powers removed for a round, IE you would be a normal player, you’d have a button to go back.
Check player notes, warnings, bans
Show player skills
Check if staff if AFK
Wind
Of course, give notes, warnings, bans, and perma bans after your trial.
Defuse welder tanks by clicking it
See global LOOC, and AOOC as a non-atang. As well as ghost chat.
Have access to msay, which is a channel for mods and admins to talk on.
Check VVs, you likely won’t use this much.
oh, and a report of all the afk/disconnected people, but this should not matter for the interview.

This isn't everything you'll get as a mod, but, this is all that's gonna be relevant to the interview.
Rotharia — Today at 12:49 PM
Ah, gotcha. Thanks.
Yonnimer — Today at 12:50 PM
Also, in the interview imagine you're a full-blown moderator and not a trial, so you can permaban people
Rotharia — Today at 12:50 PM
:nodsnods:
One question before we start, I'm unfamiliar with wind. Could you briefly explain that?
I could just be forgetting it's name.
Yonnimer — Today at 12:51 PM
Winding is used to essentially oocly knock someone out, usually to talk to them.

Rotharia — Today at 12:52 PM
Ah! Gotcha. Thanks
Yonnimer — Today at 12:52 PM
"freezing them" might be a better term.
Rotharia — Today at 12:52 PM
Yeah I believe it was freeze last I was a min, could be wrong though.
Yonnimer — Today at 12:52 PM
Alright, ready for the situational questions?
Rotharia — Today at 12:52 PM
Yessir
Yonnimer — Today at 12:53 PM
Okay. Keep in mind that we do not expect you to get these 100% correct/do them the way you're meant to, we want to see how you'd handle them without being staff here before/a while.
Rotharia — Today at 12:53 PM
Understood.
Yonnimer — Today at 12:55 PM
---First question, During a round, you notice someone join with the name "John Wick", what would you do?
Rotharia — Today at 12:55 PM
Given that there was no ticket, give a quick shout over msay that I'll handle it, then shoot them a PM explaining they'd need to change their name.
Am I capable of changing it for them?
Yonnimer — Today at 12:56 PM
They don't respond when contacting them, but they do continue to move.
And I believe you actually can now, that was a recent change mods got
Rotharia — Today at 12:57 PM
Wind them, reiterate the rule and remind them that they must respond to pm's in a timely manner. Change their name to something generic and keep an eye on them for the remainder of the round.
Yonnimer — Today at 12:59 PM
They respond with a "ok, i'll change the last name to Miller"
Rotharia — Today at 1:00 PM
I change the name to Miller, unwind, and observe them for a bit to ensure they're not someone with bad intentions. It could be that they're just migrating from a LRP or no RP server.
Also add a note.
Yonnimer — Today at 1:01 PM
Alright. That should be all unless you got something to add
Rotharia — Today at 1:01 PM
Nope, I'm pretty happy with that.
Yonnimer — Today at 1:02 PM
Alright, onto the second question
---Second question, in the middle of an extended round, you get an ahelp saying "Bjorn Smith is a baldie randomly attacking people with a toolbox in the hallway", what would you do?
Rotharia — Today at 1:04 PM
Take the ticket, aghost to check it out, I asusme I also got attack logs for this so it's not a false report?
Yonnimer — Today at 1:05 PM
You can see the attack logs, it shows the person is indeed attacking people with a toolbox
Rotharia — Today at 1:05 PM
Wind and PM the attacker asking what they're doing, and PM the original ticket asking if they have any more information.
Specifically, if there was any roleplay at all before the attack.
Yonnimer — Today at 1:06 PM
The person who was attacked says they just got randomly attacked. The person winded says they were acting sus
Rotharia — Today at 1:08 PM
Issue a permaban with the chance to appeal given that they seem to have no intention of roleplaying, perhaps ask over msay if a rejuv is in order since I don't believe I have that power.
Yonnimer — Today at 1:09 PM
An admin is on and gibs them a rejev. That should be all unless you got something to add
Rotharia — Today at 1:09 PM
Nope, I'm good.
Yonnimer — Today at 1:09 PM
Alright. The next two are gonna be a lillonger now
---Third question, During another extended round, you join the round into the middle of a person attacking someone with a switchblade and the other a screwdriver. How would you respond?
Rotharia — Today at 1:11 PM
Wind them both and PM them asking what they're doing.
Yonnimer — Today at 1:12 PM
Both are saying they were acting in self defense, the person with the screwdriver adds that it started with punches until he pulled out a screwdriver and the other a switchblade after he was pretty beaten up
Rotharia — Today at 1:13 PM
What's the account age of the two?
Yonnimer — Today at 1:13 PM
632 for switchblade boi and 940 for screwdriver lad
Rotharia — Today at 1:14 PM
Have I seen them regularly or are they fresh (to me) ckeys?
Yonnimer — Today at 1:14 PM
Regularish players
Rotharia — Today at 1:15 PM
I ask if there was roleplay prior to the punches or if it was just a random attack.
Yonnimer — Today at 1:17 PM
They both essentially say it was over an argument about synthetics, the person with the switchblade is dominian while the other is Trinary
Rotharia — Today at 1:18 PM
Remind them both that they shouldn't resort to lethal measures for in-game arguments, advise that they try to run or call  for help and then release them, keeping an eye on them and adding a note.
Yonnimer — Today at 1:19 PM
The person who used the screwdriver agrees, although the person with the switchblade argues it was only self defense since they were being attacked first with one
Rotharia — Today at 1:21 PM
Agree that they did not initially escalate the situation but still had options such as calling for help or running, also remind them that no serious action is being taken since it's a IC issue mostly.
Yonnimer — Today at 1:22 PM
They respond with "Alright then".
Which, should be it unless you got something to add
Rotharia — Today at 1:23 PM
I do have a question about the proper response to the situation but I'll leave it till the end.
Yonnimer — Today at 1:23 PM
:thumbsup:
Alright, final situational question
During a sole burglar round, a little after logging on you get an ahelp from the burglar saying a engineer just ambushed them at the elevators and shot the shit out of them with makeshift weapons. The burglar adds that he was doing a peaceful ambassador gimmick with an announcement and hadn't done anything bad yet. How would you respond?
Rotharia — Today at 1:26 PM
Message the engineer and ask them if they had a reason for the ambush
Yonnimer — Today at 1:27 PM
They say they were worried for their saftey since there was no security and they saw they were armed.
Rotharia — Today at 1:29 PM
Remind them the rules on power-gaming with the makeshift weapons and valid hunting
Check the account age and if I've seen them around before as well.
Yonnimer — Today at 1:30 PM
640 day old account, they have a note and warning for validhunting, plus a few non-relevant ones
Rotharia — Today at 1:32 PM
Issue a temporary ban with another note and advise them to read the rules thoroughly and adhere to them, especially if they've been warned before.
Yonnimer — Today at 1:33 PM
They respond with "This is stupid, staff are dumbasses"
Rotharia — Today at 1:33 PM
Advise them to contest the decision on the forums if they feel it's unfair
Yonnimer — Today at 1:34 PM
That should be all then unless you got something to add
Rotharia — Today at 1:34 PM
No sir.
Yonnimer — Today at 1:34 PM
aight. Next up will be the person questions.
---Personal questions
I'm just a little curios since it's something I noticed throughout the questions, bit of a two parter. Which server were you an admin on, and did they either not have notes or not check them often?
Rotharia — Today at 1:37 PM
I was an admin on Apollo 17 and one of it's remakes around 6ish years ago? We either did not have notes at the time or they didn't get used. I couldn't honestly tell you which. This actually sort of ties into my question as well.
Yonnimer — Today at 1:38 PM
Alright. Like I said btw, don't worry about if you did exactly what you should've done with the situational questions, we want to see how you'd do without knowing the standard policy
---Onto the next, There were some concerns over what happened with your skrell whitelist a few months back when it got revoked, namely not wanting to change the name. Anything you'd want to comment or add to it?
Rotharia — Today at 1:43 PM
Oh sure, when it comes to how I create characters, I actually start with the name and then build the character from there. To the point that I get very attached to personalities and traits that in my head only that name can have. I recognize that it was on me to re-read the Skrell lore after coming back from a break but in the heat of the moment I felt a bit miffed given that it was okay'd previously. (And actually perfectly in line with names, at the time they were all based on "sploshy" watery sounds.) So yea, long story short just got a bit upset. The reason as to why I retracted my whitelist reapplication is that I didn't want to compromise the integrity of the character that I had come to know and love as Blorp. I don't disagree with the decision at all.
Yonnimer — Today at 1:44 PM
Aight. Just two more questions and we'll be done
---If there was one thing you could change regarding the staff team, policy or whatever, what would it be?
Rotharia — Today at 1:46 PM
I don't necessarily agree with some of the rules surrounding  minimum wait times on whitelist applications, but otherwise I'm fairly happy with the policies.
Yonnimer — Today at 1:46 PM
For command, species, or the job waiting? Or do you mean something else?
Rotharia — Today at 1:48 PM
Well, specifically species. Command I understand because you need time to gather feedback, but I feel that race whitelists should be more akin to how the AI whitelist is done. With an interview confirming that you know what you're talking about in addition to your characters backstory.
Again though, I'm not fuming over the current situation, I just think there's room for improvement
Yonnimer — Today at 1:49 PM
Alright, kinda a second part to that question
---Is there anything you'd like changed specifically when it comes to moderation/mod staff?
Rotharia — Today at 1:52 PM
I don't think I can necessarily answer that question without having been in the position. From the perspective of a player, I think the current policies and systems are fine with the exception of more unified decision making on certain rulings. If you'd like an example I think there was a discussion about a week ago about a flavor text picture being okay but another of similar make not. It was a bit of a debacle that I would have liked a uniform decision on from the staff.
Yonnimer — Today at 1:53 PM
Alright. I lied, one more question
Do you care if this is posted publicly on your app?
Rotharia — Today at 1:53 PM
Oh no not at all.
Yonnimer — Today at 1:54 PM
Alright, that's it then
