Current administrators who have agreed to support your application: None that I know of but they may say something in this thread.
Reason for application: I have been giving kevin/silicons grief that they are working harder than a one legged man in an ass kicking contest. That they should spend less time doing the work of twenty people and more time building up their team to bring citadel(main) to greatness. Well here's me putting action behind my words, I may not feel that I'm at the level our great head admin needs, but I can do the grunt work to free up time for those who are at that level.
Please answer the following questions to the best of your abilities:
1. How would you engage with two players having an out of character altercation? With things clearly going beyond the round its time to take each of the players aside and inquire their side of the story. Got to find out why they are in this state. Then be the mediator between them if possible. I want everyone to have a good time playing the game. It's not a good time to the two players nor those witnessing the squabble.
2. What should an admin do if they're involved in a situation that needs admin intervention? If an admin is PART of the situation going down then it's time to call for someone else who doesn't have a potential bias to the outcome and let them mediate. If no other admins are on, low pop times, then I'd do my due diligence and gather all sides information on the situation. Inform the player that I, as the admin taking the ticket, was the other party and is going to submit this admin ticket to what ever is the proper location that the tickets go so that a non bias admin can act on behalf of the administration.
3. How should an admin determine in what way to punish someone who breaks the rules? Follow the black and white of what is written and come to a consensus with fellow admins. Admins should always strive for the most lenient actions when ever possible, players can always learn from their mistakes.
4. Under what conditions should an admin de-admin themselves while playing? Staff Policy calls out an admin should deadmin themselves when they are in a position where the meta data could greatly affect the round, such as antaging, command, sec, or silicon types. Exceptions can be understandable if it's a low pop round, or other moments where you are the only admin on the server at the time.
5. What is expected of an admin on Citadel? Staff Policy calls out a lot of good things on this subject. To be the eyes and ears, to give feedback on what is and what is NOT working on the server whether its player or code base. I feel that an admin should work with their fellow admins to cultivate the player base towards the destination the Head Admin established using the tools, policies, and data available.
