Not only is that a problem but as staff I think its a problem when you are trying to communicate with staff

"has asked nicely multiple times instead of being worried about a giveaway that's happening in XYZ amount of time"

You requested bankers to delete your printers in general chat, you did not address me directly. I ignored you're request in general chat. I was focused mostly on the giveaway, and yet you have the audacity to report me on ignoring you over a couple of requests in GENERAL CHAT. I'm sorry but did I miss the message? You did later request an admin but giving the context of that time, there was an ongoing staff review on another staff member, that means I can not take any staff sits (tickets made by @<message>) 

You have over 2 weeks of gameplay hours, and as Monika says, switch jobs to to one that disallows radiables will delete your printers. Are you telling me you don't know of another solution to this problem, one that could of been easily resolved without even making a staff ticket. 

With that being said, yes some people may find my over usage of the word "OMG" very annoying but, imaging this course of action: Walk Away. Oh and also? That image of logs documenting my usage of the word serves no purpose here, you know why? As a trial-moderator, its my job to make sure EVERYONE on the server is having a decent time on the server while filtering out ones who stain the community. Taking sits is my duty, taking sits as a trial-moderator is even more intense with all of these higher ups reviewing my every action, and I'll tell you it's time consuming. Yes there are times where I had to request the help of a higher up but that does that mean I am a bad staff. The jobs of higher ups when reviewing is criticizing my strengths and weaknesses and give insight when it comes to dealing with people like you (In a sit) And I am still currently learning and practicing my ability for that. 

"As a solution to this problem, I think staff need to have a "BIGGER VOCABULARY" to not only be more understanding about a problem but to also build a better bond between staff and players to make the server more at home for players other than just saying "OMG" "😭" or any one off phrase" 

Well excuse me, but have you witnessed my other forms of communication? Mic in particular, cause unlike other staff members/ players I rarely use my mic in game unless I am dealing with a sit, which I am using a lot because I am a trial-moderator. I find it amusing you're soo focused on my use of certain words and my supposed lack of response to your issue. I'm sorry if my way of communication is not up to your "standards" but the last time I checked, my responsibility as a trial-moderator isn't to entertain you with my words, instead as I mentioned, I make sure the server isn't being trashed around by minges and rulebreakers, while also assisting those who need staff assistance WHEN THEY GENUENTLY NEED IT. With that said, perhaps you will now consider the actual purpose of my role on the server. 

Sorry to burst your bubble but my attention isn't dedicated to solve every issue that comes up in general chat, I already had my hands full at that time you made the request, but frankly, your request didn't make it to my top priority. Now, going back to the whole printer situation. I understand your frustration, but there are other alternatives to fixing this problem. Of course you are entitled to your "feeling" but do not forget there are other alternative solutions. Maybe just maybe... a little bit of resourcefulness on your behalf would of solved everything without you needing to make a report and cause me to directly respond to your demands. 

If you are expecting me to assist your every request, maybe its time to reassess your expectations? My job on the server isn't to gain popularity or fit exactly within your expectations. So the next time you feel the need to criticize my approach, try taking it back a bit and consider the bigger picture. 

 

Oh and one last thing, I have a bind for my "OMG" which is not very time consuming as you would understand.

What kind of events would you like to see?

Particularly some more bosses, maybe a giant zombie or a hunterchopper/gunship? buffing some of the current ones such as xp orb drops to drop three orbs instead of one would be nice. 

AetherNetwork Suggestion

Follow this layout or your suggestion may be denied. 

Only post 1 suggestion per post. 

Suggestion: Currently, the shop events are pretty dull. Beside the boss events, everything else in the event section is rarely used. What I believe will be a good addition are more events/make the current selection more rewarding. 

Link To Relevant Addons: N/A

Media/Screenshots/Videos: N/A

How will this improve the quality of Aether?: This can help spark player engagement in the server instead of sitting around doing little to nothing. Having a greater selection of events can be more rewarding. 

omg

do you remember what you did? omg? 😭

Bro omg +1

 

Omg guys

General Questions

How can you contribute to Aether?:

                                  It's Been Awhile Playing This Server To The Point Where, I Was Just Basically Doing Whatever I Felt Like, And Yes, I Was And Have Been A Bit Of A Trouble Maker Here And There, Being At The Mercy Of My Own Actions. When I First Staffed On Aether Networks (Around 2020), I Was Reckless In My Own Actions, And I Would Never Own Up To Any Of My Actions, Which Eventually Cause To Spiral Down The Rabbit Hole, Which Eventually Resulted In Me Getting Removed From The Staff Team. I Am Telling You This Because I Believe In Being Truthful And Clear To You Guys So You Understand Some Of My History In Aether, And To Bring Out Some Things I Never Felt I Was Able To Properly Express. Some Of You May Be Weary In My Capabilities Of Being A Productive Staff member, And Here I Am Now, Asking You For Another Chance Of Redemption, However This Time, I'll Have The Experience Of Having Staffed Before And The Mistakes That I Made Upcoming 2024. Some Of You May Not Think Of Me As A Possible Staff Member Given My Previous History On The Server, And I Respect That. It's Is Going To Be Hard For Me To Prove Myself Though Text Alone. As For You, One Things For Certain, The Infractions I Have Accumulated Playing On The Server May Seem Detrimental To My Overall App. They May Seem As Barriers To My Potential. But For Me, Every Warn I Receive And Every Stern Talking To I Received Gave Me The Experience I Needed To Correct Myself, Despite Being A Bit Stubborn With Some, I Have Taken Full Responsibility For My Actions. Prior To Writing This App, I Just Couldn't Help But Think About My Past Experiences On The Server, Compared To What It Was Like In 2020, Things Have Changed A lot, A Bunch Of Names I Remember Came And Left, Yet Here I Am Still Apart Of The Active Community, Is It Because I Am Addicted to This Server? Hell No, I Play This Server Because It Means More Than Just A Simple RP Server To Me. This Server Is Unlike Another Community Out There, It Helped Me Get Though The Boring Days Of My Life. Four Years Ago, I was A Freshman IN Highschool, Now? Heck, I'm A Damn Freshman In College. Before Aether Networks Was Created, There Was Retribution RP (Created By Jouaram), Many Of You Will Not Know What I'm Talking About, For Some Maybe a burning Memory. As For Me, It was The First Ever Server That Got Me Hooked In DarkRP, And I Have Never Set Foot On Another Server Ever. Now, How Is All Of This Information I Provided Relevant The Topic? Well, I Never Had A Chance To Fully Express Myself, Yet, Now That I'm Pursuing A Higher Education And Has A Little More Free Time, I find Myself Spending More And More Of My Time Playing Aether And Vibing With The community. Now 4 Years More Mature Than I Was, I Strongly Believe That I Do In Fact Have The Ability To Be A Productive Member Of The Aether Staff Team. I Would Like The Opportunity To Show You What Has Changed In Me, Although It Doe's Not Seem Like Lots Has Changes, Having The Opportunity (Again) To Step Up Into A Higher Part Of The Community Has Given Me Another Sense Of Belonging. I'm not Just Making This Staff Application Just Because I Want To Be Staff Again. No, I'm Making This Application To See What I Really Am, Four Years Ago I Made Mistakes That Resulted IN My Removal From The Staff Team. Four Years Later? I Am Wise Enough to Realize How Stupide I Was In My Decision Making, And Now? I Hope To Give Back And Serve The Community From Which I Was A Follower For Many Years. Despite Having Written All Of That, I Know That Some Of You Are Still Not Very Keen On Supporting Me, And I Honestly Respect That. For Those That I Have Troubled I sincerely apologize.

 

"OMG" - Bee

 

 

Have you read the rules fully, understand and feel comfortable enforcing them as correctly as possible?: Yes

Are you willing to listen to any Staff member guide you as a Staff, even if you feel you don't need to?: Yes

Are you certain you will be able to staff for 5 hours a week and finish 15 sits each week?: Yes

 

 

DarkRP Rule Questions

Raids can last how long?: 10 Minutes From Initial Raid Advert. (Failure To Properly Advert A Raid A Head Of Time Is Considered Fail Raiding.)

 

If a player in your party dies whilst raiding, how long do they have to wait to come back and raid the same base again?: Following NLR Rules, They Will Need to Wait 3 Minutes. During That Time, The Player Can Not Assist In A Raid Or Defend In Any Way.

 

What initiates a raid?: Raids Are Initiated When A Raider Adverts In ALL Chat "/Advert Raid". Other Forms Of Raid Adverts Can Be Accepted As Long As They Are Not Deceiving. Ok Example: "/Advert RAID OMG!!!!"     Bad Example: "/ooc Raid" Once A Raid Has Concluded, The Player Must "/Advert Over" To Let The Defenders Know. Adverting Over Is a Must No Mater The Circumstances. After You Have Finished A Raid, You Can Not Re-Raid The Same Base Within A 30 Minute Time Period.

 

If no raiding tool is being used can the player steal the item from a base without an advert?: You Do not Have To Advert Raid ONLY IF The Raidables Are Easily Accessible Without Using Raiding Tools.

Good Example: Raidable Such As A Printer Laying On The Curb W/O Protection Allows You To Raid That Item Without Breaking The Rules. 

Bad Example: You Find a Radiable Inside Another Players Base, But You See A Gap In One Of Their Builds, So You Choose To Use A TP Sweep To Get Inside. Using Any Means Of Transport To Either Glitch Inside Bases (You Do Not Have To Be Raiding) Is Breaking The Rules, Even Though You Adverted Raid)

 

Give an example of a valid raid advert (type it as you'd type it in-game): (/Advert Raid) (/Advert BANK RAID!) (/Advert PD RAID!)

 

If the owner of the base is standing outside on their base entrances sidewalk as you're about to raid but haven't announced a raid yet, can you kill them?: No, Under This Condition, You Must Advert Raid Before Starting Any Combat, Failure To Do So Can Be Considered Fail Raiding and/or RDM. 

 

If you get arrested mid-raid can you return after your arrest?: No, You Can Not Return To Restart a Raid Once You Have Been Arrested. This Falls Under The Raid Cool Down Rule, You Must Wait The Raid Cooldown Before Consecutively Raiding A Base. Upon Being Arrested The Player Must Advert "Over" As this Concludes The Raid, And Ensures No Further Problems Come Up.

 

If you get RDM'd are you allowed to kill the RDMer back without repercussions?: Revenge RDM Is Not Allowed, The Only Thing That Achieves Is further Aggression. If You Do Decide To Revenge RDM, That Opens The Window For Them To Call A Sit On You Which Probably Isn't What You Want. If You Do Get RDM'd Without Any Plausible Reasons, The First Step Of Action Is to Contact A Higher Up, In Other Words, Call a Sit.

 

A player punches somebody unprovoked and runs away, the player who got punched calls a sit - what punishment would you give the instigator?: Said Punishment Will Be "RDM" Even Though They Did Not Have The Intent To RDM. However In Cases Where It Was Demmed To Be 100% Crossfire,  The Punishment May Be Reduced To A No Warning Or Written Warning Informing Them To Be More Careful Nextime

 

List all default Laws of The Land: Raiding and stealing is illegal. Raidables detected by the contraband scanner are always illegal. Harming players is illegal unless you are inside your base defending it. Laws can be enforced with KOS if the player is wanted.

 

How many bases can you own per party?: A Party Can Own Two Bases, One Raidable and One RP ONLY.

 

A player is refusing to co-operate with you in a staff sit, how do you handle the non-cooperative player?: Advise Them, That If They Continue To Be Uncooperative During A Sit, The Possibility Of Punishment. However If This Does Not Deter Them, And For Example They Continue to Deflect Attempts Of Info Gathering (Mic Spam, Rude Remarks, Ignoring Questions, Etc...) I Believe This Gives Staff Proper Reasons To Carry Out A Punishment, Depending Of The Severity Of The situation. If Things Begin To Get To Hasty, (slurs, mic spam continues, etccc...) It's My Job To Access Which In This Case Is To Gag And Mute Them To Prevent Future Distractions, Before continuing My Sit. 

 

Can you punish a player for intentionally ruining others time, even if they say it's out of fun?: Yes, Absolutely, However It May Be Acceptable If Both Party's Don't See It As Time Wasted, And They Don't See It As A Issue. In Cases Where It Sometimes Does Become An Issue, Is When A Player Is Intentionally Calling Staff Sits With The Intention To Cause Trouble/Mayhem, And Get Staff Attention When They Do Not Need It. For This Instance Staff Is Able Punish The Player, For "Wasting Staff Time" 

 

Give an example of a Staff abusing their powers and how you would handle it: 

Example: Reckless Throwing Out Warning/Bans Just Because Their Ego Is Fragile. 

Example: Noclipping As A Means Of Travel.

Example: Accepting And Closing Sits Instantly.

Example: Not Accepting Responsibility For Something Related To Them.

Example Using Staff Rank To Intimidate/Threaten Others.

Course Of Action: Understand What The Staff Member Is Abusing. Confront Them Directly And Tell Them That Their Actions Are Violating Staff Rules. I Believe This Is The Most Important Step Because In Many Of The Staff Related Abuse Cases, They Were Unaware Their Actions Were Breaking The Rules. It Is Better To Let Them Know First And Give Them The Chance To Correct Themselves, However It Is Still Important To Inform Higher Ups Regarding The Situation. It Is Always Important To Let Higher Ups Of The Situation, Especially If A Staff Member Is Abusing Their Power. If The Staff Member Continues To Abuse Their Power, I Believe It Needs To Be Reported To A Higherup Who Has The Power To Correct The Player.  It Is Staffs Duty To Watch Out and Keep Other Fellow Staff Members In Check.

 

A player is excessively RDMing, how would you intervene/stop them from continuing and what punishment would you give?: Spectate Them First To Confirm If They Are Indeed MRDM'ing. Freeze Them And Teleport Them Into Admin Land (Or A Place Safe From Player Interference (Admin Land Recommended), During This Time, Sits Called Relating To This Rdmer Will Be Taken To Get Information From The Players. If The Rdmer Is Refusing To Corporate With Staff, I Will Recall The Previous Rule About "A player is refusing to co-operate with you in a staff sit, how do you handle the non-cooperative player" And Take Necessary Action. If Needed, A Punishment Will Be Given To The Player Depending On The Severity, And Possible Warning History. If The Player Leaves During A Sit, Given That They Could Possibly Leave To Avoid Punishment, Or So they Think. It Gives Me The Right To Give A LTAP Warning To That User Along With His RDM Warn. Given The Unlikely Circumstance That A Player In A Sit Crashes Or Has Bad Internet, I First Step For This Is To Contact A Higher Up For Instruction On How Do Deal With It.

 

A Mayor enabled a lockdown without reason and is refusing to turn it off, how do you resolve this?: A Mayor Needs A Proper Non-Rule Breaking Reason To Call A Lockdown. If They Fail To Inform Others About An Lockdown. I Would Need An Explanation From The Mayor As To Their Reason Behind The Lockdown. If They Are Cooperative With Me In Resolving The Issue, I Believe No Further Course Of Action Needs To Be Taken. However If They Are Refusing To Corporate With Me Trying Understand their Reason Behind The Lockdown, Then Once Again I Will Go Back To The "A player is refusing to co-operate with you in a staff sit" Rule And Follow the Necessary Steps Of Action. In This Situation, The Best Step (If The Player Does Not Have Any Prior Warning About This Issue) Is To Give Them A Written Warning, Informing Them If They Continue to Neglect The Rules Again, The Next Punishment Won't Be as Lenient.
