[Keekenox] Admin Application
Posted: Mon Aug 19, 2019 9:07 am
BYOND ckey: Keekenox
Character name: I have a lot so here you go.
Discord username (+user id): Keekenox#1562
How long have you played on Citadel?: 425 days
How long have you played SS13?: Since 2011
What is your timezone/general hours of activity?: That's still up in the air as my work schedule is about to change.
Previous SS13 related admin experience: Player Rep memes.
Previous non-SS13 related admin experience: Admin on a very popular Garry's Mod server back in the day at the height of Garry's Mod's popularity. 64 pop all the time. Main order of business was sniffing out script users since the server was kind of a competitive thing (people took it way too seriously), and banning edgy boyes that were all too common at the time on Garry's Mod. I also adminned a few minecraft servers years back of various types.
Current administrators who have agreed to support your application: Uh I think a few from adminchat told me to make an app. I'm pretty sure Digital Squirrel thought I should.
Reason for application: Being player rep is suffering and I need more suffering.

Pop Quiz!

1. How would you engage with two players having an out of character altercation?
Well first I'd start with a basic "Hey stop". I'd inform them that perhaps they should settle things via DMs between them like adults if it's bad enough. If things verge into harassment territory I'd have a talk with them both, compare sides, and start spanking as needed, since harassment is no bueno.
2. What should an admin do if they're involved in a situation that needs admin intervention?
In my opinion, ideally treat the situation as if you were a normal player and try and snag some admins from adminchat or something if nobody is online. You know, standard ahelp stuff for the most part. I really don't want to get any preferential treatment because I am staff, if I'm doing something retarded I should be spanked for it and told about it.
3. How should an admin determine in what way to punish someone who breaks the rules?
Well I think intent is a very important modifier, in my personal opinion intent is key. If somebody is maliciously trying to impact the fun of other people then it should be dealt with in a harsher way. Alternatively some people may be accidentally or unknowingly making things horrible for other people. If this is the case they should be warned with a note and a 'hey, that might not be the best thing to do okay thanks'. If they continue to show inability to not do that thing that's horrible, I'd start considering real punishments.
4. Under what conditions should an admin de-admin themselves while playing?
If I really feel that the station is being adequately moderated without me I'd consider deadminning, that being said, I pretty much intend to solely admin on RP (I will probably deadmin no matter what on main). On RP, there's very little and usually no actual conflict, causing meta to be a lot less of an issue, and I rarely see admins deadminning themselves on RP.
5. What is expected of an admin on Citadel?
In my eyes there's a few things that I expect from admins. Integrity, maturity, and impartiality. Admins should be mature enough to handle most situations, not get heated or upset, and if they do get heated or upset, they should be expected to be able to divest themselves from the situation. An admin should be able to reasonably make decisions that uphold the rules while making sure everyone on the server is having fun, because lets be honest, that's what we're all here for right?
