Lagomorphica - Moderator Application

[Lagomorphica]

Moderator Application - Lagomorphica

What is your BYOND key?

Lagomorphica

What is your Discord username?

Lagomorphica

What characters do you play on CM-SS13?

Frydenlund Svafnirsdottir, Lucy, Rozamond A.W. Sarin (primarily)

Are you 16 or older?

Yes

Timezone:

AEST.

On average, how many hours are you available to moderate in an average week?

Hard to say. My work varies and my study schedule varies. I would wager 15 - 25 hours available.

Qualifications:

Do you have previous experience in game or community moderation?

Yes. I was staff on Beestation and head admin for a year or so, however my original application was lost. I did reapply, though, and that one is visible, alongside my staff feedback forum. I was also staff on numerous smaller servers.

Provide any links to any previous CM-SS13 whitelist, mentor or staff applications:

Accepted Lagomorphica - Synthetic Application - Synthetic
Accepted Lagomorphica - Yautja Application - Yautja.
I also applied for mentor on the old forums but it’s hidden to me and I don’t remember where it is.

Have you ever been banned for more than 24 hours on CM-SS13?

No.

Can you actively engage and communicate with the team through Discord?

Yes. I try to talk semi-frequently even now.

Final Details:

Why would you like to join the CM-SS13 staff team?

I’m not going to talk about wanting to fix any major issues with the server because I don’t really expect to be able too. I just want to help out around the server I guess and give back a little bit to the community.

What makes you a great addition to Staff? (Experienced Tabletop DM, Aliens Lore Buff, Super Organized, etc.?)

I learn fast. I also have a decently solid understanding of how 90% of CMs staff tools work and how to interact with people in a ticket, alongside how to write notes/warnings/bans etc that are detailed enough to provide context without being superfluous. My schedule is also rather flexible in terms of when I’m available.

In your opinion, what is the most important quality of a CM-SS13 staff member?

I think that what is most important is the ability to ask for help and to be kind, so to speak, at least from my prior staffing experience. Sometimes people are just having a shitty day when they do something against the rules and just need to talk for a little bit, to be told why what they did is wrong rather than just being noted. I know it isn’t always the case, but it’s always worthwhile to try just that little bit more. It’s also important to be able to admit when you fucked up, which I have had to do many times for my whitelists, at the least. It’s painful and frustrating to know you did wrong, but it’s worse to just ignore it and hope it goes away.

Anything else you want to add?

I don’t really have anything else to add. Thanks for reading my application regardless of the result of it.

I may be asleep shortly after posting this as it is roughly 3 AM AEST, so expect a slow turnaround on answers until tomorrow.

+1 former headmin on station, has a lot of experience, an amazing mindset and roleplay; will make a great fit for staff

[Dross]

Lagomorphica is very experienced, well respected and has been a Synth Councillor for some time now. I always see them helping people out on discord with game play, server and whitelist issues quite often. They’ve had the synth and pred whitelist for a long time and clearly have a good grasp of how the server works and rules. I’m sure they will be a great addition to the server moderation team. +1

[MrMoon]

One of the most professional players I know, how you type that fast while adding stutters is still wild to me, +1

[DukeofCagliostro]

One of the easiest +1. Super chill person. Synth & Pred also Synth Council. Never had a bad interaction with the man. Also, could have sworn he was already a moderator. Also a dog lover. Please do not ban me when I welder bomb the brig.

[c4xmaniac]

I’ll damned
+1

[goshflipheck]

On top of agreeing with every comment made so far above, this player has, from what I’ve seen, incredible patience with other people both in Discord and in the game. I’ve no doubt they’ll be professional in anything from handling new players to griefers and would do fine with staff. +1

[Sandvich123]

+1 pluh

[duckyworth]

Lago on the staff team?! I think that Lago would make for an excellent addition to CM staff. I’ve always seen Lago as a very level-headed player and have seen them go out of their way to help new players numerous times. This is a super easy +1!

[smellyhippie]

+1, Excellent mentor, always helping out in gameplay help, as well as helping out greatly with the synth whitelist.

[Ingwe]

+1 better version of jook

[joooks]

+1 good fit for the team I think

[Anuv]

An easy +1 without question

[Tyranicranger4]

Lago was a good admin back on Bee and it was a pleasant surprise to see that they were involved in CM as well. They’ll do great, no doubt about it. +1

These are really good qualities to have as staff, and from what I’ve seen of Lago they’ve always been a decent human being in the CM discord. They also have previous experience as ss13 staff

I am going to open this with a +1 for those who want a TLDR.

Now, I have been apart of this community for a while with half a decade of playing this game you do get a feel for players and how they would act if given the tools required. Lagomorphica is probably one of the more honest players in this game- and one of the best qualities I’ve noticed with them is they are willing to kill their ego and admit when they are wrong.
As Hippie said, you are a strong mentor and I’ve seen you help out where possible, i’ve had the pleasure to witness you even looking out for Privates as Synth on top of the duties synth requires. You’ve been apart of the Synth Council for quite a while and it shows and reflects with how you interact with players in good ways, you’ve often taken time out of your round to explain to players how synth Functions and have helped immensely with the WL.

This also shows a sense of level of being level headed- though I will admit, you should’ve been more vain here haha don’t be shy to share some ideas you’d like to see- even if you feel you wouldn’t have the power to, things like that can change especially if a part of staff.

As other players have noted, this is an amazing quality to have as staff, and I do hope that is fully recognized.

Good luck with your App
