Experience
Have you ever been a staff member on another server?
Yes:
Server Name: ExampleRP
Position: Moderator
Length of Service: 6 months
Do you have any experience with server moderation tools like ULX or other admin mods?
Yes, I have experience with ULX. I know how to manage bans, kicks, warnings, and use advanced commands like ghosting and noclip to monitor players.
Have you been banned or punished on a server before?
Yes, once for using excessive caps in chat during my early days of GMod. It was a 1-hour mute, and I apologized to the admin afterward.
Scenario Questions
A player is reported for using offensive language in chat. How would you handle the situation?
I would first check the chat logs to confirm the report. If the language violates the rules, I would issue a warning and remind the player of the rules. If it continues, I would escalate the punishment to a mute or temporary ban, depending on the severity.
Two players are arguing and causing a disturbance on the server. What steps would you take to resolve the conflict?
I would privately message both players to understand their perspectives and ask them to calm down. If the argument continues, I would separate them (e.g., move them to different areas of the server) and issue warnings to prevent further disruption.
You suspect a player is using cheats or exploiting the game. What would you do?
I would monitor the player discreetly using admin tools like spectate mode to gather evidence. If confirmed, I would follow server protocol by banning them and reporting the incident to higher staff with evidence.
A fellow staff member is abusing their powers. How would you address this issue?
I would document the behavior with screenshots or logs and report it to a senior staff member or the server owner. Until then, I would intervene to mitigate the abuse if possible (e.g., undoing unfair actions taken by the staff member).
