Novalys Application AFTER JULY 21 EDIT. HE DIDNT CREATE A NEW THREAD AND APPLICATION.
- Are you currently a staff member at another site? I am not
- How old are you? 23 years old, turning 24 in a few months.
- What is your IN-GAME name? Novalys
- What is your real life name? Raido
- What is your timezone? GMT+2
- What is your email address? [If you only want to give it to staff when asked in private, that is fine too.] Will provide to staff member only for now.
- How long have you been part of RSCRevolution? I joined on the 22nd of February 2015.
- Do you have any previous moderating experience? If so, what is the website/community/Private Server? I was a moderator/admin of the largest Estonian GTA San Andreas roleplay server called 'Smoke's & Jack's' on and off since spring 2009 until somewhere in 2014. Other than that, I've had a load of CS 1.6 servers in the past (started playing in 2002ish).
- Do you understand that abusing your powers will result in a demotion and most likely an IP ban depending on the situation? I am well aware of that.
- Do you understand that all staff members must keep any and all conversations between staff members to themselves, as well as any potential information about the server (rare item totals, IP addresses, private e-mails, and so on) and any violation of this will result in a demotion and most likely an IP ban depending on the situation? I understand, confidentiality isn't a problem.
- Do you speak and write fluently in any language other than English? List: Estonian, Japanese (College major, lived abroad for a year, fairly fluent though I don't deem it necessary here since I haven't met any one from Japan, but might as well mention.)
- How many hours do you use the forums/game daily? I might be on for the whole day, might be on for a couple of hours or less.

Please write AS MUCH AS YOU CAN in response to the questions below:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Have you ever disagreed with a staff member's actions? If so, what would you have done as a staff member in that situation?
I don't recall any specific occasions from the top of my head, but I think there have been some global mutes and what not that might have been a bit too rushed. Can't and will not name any one in particular though.
- Why do you wish to be in part of the staff team of RSCRevolution? Please give as many reasons as you can think of. I like this server a fair bit out of all the ones that have existed before. I've seen that the staff is very mature and although I don't know excactly what's going on behind closed doors but it seems to me that every one is getting along just fine and you can proudly call it a TEAM, which I'd like to contribute my efforts to.
- Why should we choose you over the other applicants and what can you bring to the table that no one else can? (List things you're good at.) As I mentioned before, I've been a staff member member before and I've had to make countless judgements concerning player disputes, mod vs player arguments, ban appeals, etc. So I like to think that I am well versed in keeping calm in crucial situations and have the experience to make the right decisions. Also, I believe communication is key to solving most of the problems.
- If there are a few users began saying "THIS SERVER SUCKS!" and spamming it everywhere, what would you do? I would naturally try to find out the root of the problem. I'd teleport to them and give them attention (that's what they mostly want). I'd try to find out what they're not satisfied with and try to help them have a better experience in RSCR. Although not every one is like that and every once in a while troublemakers do appear and they need to be dealt with accordingly - whether it requires removing the player from the community or other measures.
- Following the above question, if a staff member (Who has the same rank as you, or higher rank than you) begins saying "THIS SERVER SUCKS! EVERYONE LEAVE!", what would you do? Staff members are players just like every one else, just with a bit more authority, so the approach would remain the same. Talking about the matter and finding solutions. Although I find this funny to believe that Hobbs for example would start menacing around the server like that. If it was another mod behaving like that and wouldn't listen, then the only option I can come up with is telling higher-ups. (Not quite sure yet what actions can be taken in case of same rank mods).
- You have banned someone, but another staff member disagrees with your decision and lifts the ban before the ban time you have set has elapsed. What do you do? I would like an explanation why they thought my ban was unjustified. If they can provide enough reason I'd be happy with the unban. If not, then I'd like to see a third mod, or an admin decide on the matter.
- A friend comes to you complaining that he has been banned by another staff member, and wants you to find out why. Upon further investigation, you discover that you believe the ban is unjustified. How do you handle this? I will let the banning moderator know by bringing fourth the reasons why the ban was unjustified and go from there.
- If you warned a player about his language and he disagrees and continues to flame you, what would you do? If it's just personal flame I would choose to ignore it, unless the player starts flaming in global chat. In the case a mute or a short time ban wil suffice, depending on the circumstance.
- What do you think a staff member should do on a daily basis? Help out as much as one can, provide info concerning the server, keeping players up to date with upcoming events, monitor for any bots and over all keep things in order.
- Do you have Skype? Do you actively use it? I do have skype and I use it when necessary
- What position are you applying for? Forum Moderator, Event Moderator, Game Moderator
Other comments: I've never personally had any arguments with any of the staff and I'm a friendly and helpful guy for the spot! #Euromod
