Staff Application 2.0

JavaScript isn't enabled in your browser, so this file can't be opened. Enable and reload.

[IMPORTANT] Please answer all questions honestly, and to the best of your ability. The application is broken up into multiple parts, and not all questions are required, although we would very much like to see all of them answered.

Remember, not everyone fits what we're looking for in Staff. Being a good person, and online all the time doesn't automatically fit what we're looking for by itself, although it is greatly appreciated.

Please do NOT post on the forums, or message the Staff team on the site, in game, or any other location about your application.

That includes things like: "Did you get my Staff app?" "Hey, can you look at my Staff app and let me know if it's any good?" or the very popular: "I know I'm not supposed to bring up the Staff Application, but [talks about Staff Application]".

[Section 2] How would you react to these situations as a Staff member?

Often times, Staff members are faced with difficult choices. Let us know how YOU would handle these situations.

You notice a player hacking - They're using flymod and speed. You get a video, and go ahead with banning them. *

In the appeal, they first question why they were banned, saying that they did not have illegal mods. When you show them proof, they respond by telling you that their grandmother died.

Unban the player, letting them off with a warning, but expressing your sympathy.

Set the player to a temporary ban, informing them that what they did was wrong, while still trying to be sympathetic.

Inform the player that you are sorry for their loss, but because they first lied about the illegal mods, they cannot be unbanned.

A player messages you on the website, letting you know that another player is spamming an Auction. *

You check the link they give you, and it appears the player's claim is valid - the other is indeed spamming the auctions.

Start a conversation with the player, warning them that spamming is not allowed, and delete their spam posts.

Start a conversation with the player, informing them that spamming the forums ANYWHERE is not allowed, then involve the Senior Staff and Admins in the conversation.

Go directly to the Senior Staff and Admins only, informing them about the player.

You and another Staff member have a disagreement, and are no longer feeling friendly towards each other. *

Inform IcecreamCow and Maxarias about the argument, explaining your side as best you can.

Attempt to patch things over with the other Staff member.

Try to talk things over with the Staff member, letting both IcecreamCow, and Maxarias know you had an argument, explaining as much as possible.

You find out another Staff member is abusing their powers/using Illegal Mods.

You gather proof, and get a very strong case against them.

Confront the Staff member with all the collected data, to try and get them to stop.

Show the Staff member the collected data, while getting IcecreamCow and Maxarias involved.

Inform IcecreamCow and Maxarias only, giving them all the data.

Clear selection

A good friend of yours starts using illegal mods, and tells you about it. *

Warn your friend, telling them that although you won't ban them, another Staff might.

Go get another Staff member, showing them what your friend said to you, distancing yourself from the situation.

Ban your friend.

A player you've known for a very long time appears to be having a rough day. The player starts swearing. *

This is not a normal characteristic of the player, and they have no previous history.

Permanently Ban the player for Swearing.

Temporarily Ban the player for Swearing, and to cool down.

Kick the player for Swearing, and to cool down.

What are some examples of bad situations you have come across, that you feel you could have handled if you were a Moderator?

You don't have to answer this, but it would be nice information for us to have.

Even though this is false in reality, please check only that answer specifically for this question.

Spamming is not allowed, as it interrupts the chat.

It's okay to use caps if you're excited, and apologize for it afterwards.
