General Questions:
• What made you want to apply for a staff position here?
Generally, the reason why I applied is that the server community will be growing, so when new players will come and they would seem very lost. My main objective is helping new players and make them feel a part of the community. Another point is to keep the growing community family friendly. The last thing I want is community that is fallen apart because of some conflicts between players.
• How much time can you contribute to being online and available?
On Minecraft server I can usually be for about 3-4 hours per day (I can increase my activity whenever urgent help is needed). On Discord I am mostly online and I can spend some time moderating chat. I am also staying up to date with the newest announcements on the website and can spend about 2 hours reading players threads. Usually when I play on the server I have the website and discord server open to see how things are there.
• Have you applied for the staff team previously? (If so, how did it go and what have you done to improve upon it?)
No, it's my first application here.
• Do you have any connections to members of the current staff team? (If so, who?)
I know the Server Owner - QuantumGalaxies very well. Sometimes, I talk with LiveBeyondDreams or GalwayRancher in game.
• Have you been staff on any server inside or outside of Quantum Galaxies? (If so, where and what did you do?)
I was a helper back in 2017 on a small polish server. My main duties were of course keeping chat appropriate and helping players in game. I resigned after 1 year due to lack of time.
• Are you currently staff on any servers outside of Quantum Galaxies? (If so, how will this affect your activity on Quantum Galaxies?)
No, currently I am not any part of any staff team and I am not planning to become on any server outside of Quantum Galaxies.
• Have you broken any rules on Quantum Galaxies or other servers in the past? (How have you changed since then?)
No, I have never broken any rules here.
• What are some of your accomplishments, skills, hobbies, or other recreations outside of Quantum Galaxies?
I have made an introduction on the forums that involves this information, but just to recall it once again, my main hobbies are: electronics, programming, rock climbing, riding a bike. Minecraft is a place where I have spent 5 years of creating my own worlds and servers and recently I have started to learn about creating plugins for servers.
Situations:
• What would you do if someone asks how to become staff?
I would tell him to go on the Forum > Applications > Staff Applications, read the post about requirements, expectations and duties of a helper and then follow the application format.
• What would you do if someone is reporting a hacker in Discord general chat?
Firstly, Discord general chat is not really a place to report hackers. However, if this situation would happen I would ask about hacker’s information such as: in-game name and what rules did he break. Then I would tell the reporting player that next time the appropriate place to report hackers is ‘Ban Reports’ board on the forums.
• Explain a situation where you have shown maturity / good handling of a situation.
Generally, I am mature and realistic-thinking person and I have quite some experience with an argument between few kids on the server where I was helper. They were using lots of bad words in polish. Firstly, I told them in chat to stop and how can they even say thing like that to others. Then one of the arguing players offended me using some bad words, so I took that as an act of staff disrespect which was highly punishable. Everyone else involved in that situation got 15-minute mute as a punishment.
• You noticed a staff member being biased towards/against certain players. What would you do?
I would tell him to calm down as it is known that staff members cannot be offensive against players and suggest him some solutions to his emotional instability. If that wouldn’t help, I would report him to the owner, because this guy cannot be a staff member, unless he would change his attitude.
• There is a heated argument between a few players in chat. How would you handle it?
First would be my message on the chat to calm down, stop arguing and keep chat appropriate. At that time I should be able to catch every player involved in the argument. If that wouldn’t help I would start warning arguing players. The last thing to do is to mute the most aggressive players on chat for 15 minutes. The punishment may differ depending on what rules did they also break (swearing, harassing, etc.). I do not recommend muting the whole chat, because there are also other players that might still want to use it to talk to each other.
• As a helper, what punishment would you give someone who is trying to recruit staff for their server?
According to the Official Quantum Galaxies Rules recruiting staff for another server is highly punishable by Permanent IP Ban. However, helpers cannot ban so I would take that as a non-accidental, blatant advertising for which the punishment is a 7-day mute. I would also ask higher staff members (Admins, Owner) what do they think about this situation and what procedure they suggest.
I would be happy to supply you with further details should they be required. I thank you for considering my application.
Yours sincerely, Martin
