Atka's staff app!

[atka]

GENERAL

Furcadia Name: Atka
Real Life age(optional):16
Why are you applying for Canine Distinctions?: I am always in the dream, and I like helping people!

SHORT ESSAY ( please have at least 3 sentences. you may include 1. detail, 2. description, 3. tell why you answered what you did to help out! )

Somebody is harassing you or somebody else, you would: Depending on what the harassment was, I would do different things. If they were harassing me, I would ask them to stop, and if they didn't, I would move to anther area of the dream, ask another staff to help, eject them from the dream, and put them on the ignore list (in that order)if they kept continuing. If they started to harass other staff or patrons, I would ask other staff if they think said person should be banned from the dream. If they were harassing patrons in the dream I would eject them, and warn other staff members about said person.

You find somebody annoying, but not breaking any rules: I would ask them to stop doing whatever they were doing. If they stopped I would just move to another section of the dream. Not much annoys me though. If it was someone other than me, I would whisper anyone else in the dream that they were harassing, and tell them to move somewhere else. There are plenty of places in the dream to hide o:

Somebody asks you to become a staff member, and you give them directions. They say they do not wish to apply, you would: I would tell them that to become staff, they would have to apply. If applications weren't open, I would tell them to wait for them to open up again. I would tell them that being staff isn't to be taken lightly, and if you want the job, you have to work for it, and not be lazy. Filling out an application is part of the work and effort put into becoming a staff member, just like being trial staff is.

You don't have share, no other staff members are online, somebody is spamming/harassing/breaking rules, you would?: Hhmmm. If they were interrupting an rp, I would ask participants in the rp to put it on hold until the person stopped harassing people. If they were autohitting and godmodding I would explain to them what they are, making sure that the person knows that they are breaking rules, and that if they continued, I would tell a staff when they got online. If he/she kept harassing People, I would tell the patrons to not say anything, and the person would probably leave, and if they wanted to they could just put the person on ignore.

EXPLAIN

How do you greet new comers?: "Hi! Welcome to Candid Distinctions. This is an active dream where wolf rp is held daily! Enjoy your time here, if there are any questions, feel free to ask me or any other staff member!"
What's your opinion on our staff team?: The staff are very friendly, reasonable, and supportive. No wonder the dream is such a nice place o:
What's your opinion on the dream?: Safe, friendly, pretty. I like the layout and the avies. I'm glad to have Candid Distinctions as home to three of my characters!

Greetings, dear Atka!

Upon your last situation, I would actually strongly suggest others to put the harasser on ignore for now. No reason they can't keep going about on their own business because of a rule breaker~ I like that you would explain exactly what the person was doing wrong though. Nice answers.

Now, on a second and final point, my only concern is your activity.. You've been known to go on certain leaves in the past and I wonder if you're to stay around long term this time? Feel free to send me a whisper of course unless you wish to reply directly here for others to see as well.

Until then, leaning towards an accept, though awaiting a reply.

Ahoy, Atka!

Seeings as Glac's comment worries me the most, I feel the same. If you're going to be staff, we're going to need you more active- Or be able to warn us before you poof for a certain amount of time.

On another note, all these harassing comments!

• Moving away from the harasser is a great idea, but sometimes it can make things worse. "Running away" isn't a good idea, and can end with things being worse. As a staff you want to keep an eye on whats going on, even if it's you being harassed.
  If it is you being harassed, ignoring them (But not putting them on ignore) Is your best bet. This way, you can have logs of what was said and other staff members can attempt to make things better, or get rid of the issue.
  
  
• Someone being annoying, yes. Moving away from them would be the best idea. Ignoring them, but again, not putting them on ignore. Those logs can come in handy if the dream owners need to be banning some people.
  
  
• I like how you used interrupting an RP as an example, because this is very important. CD is a very big RP dream, because that's what it is, what we are. We want our guests to enjoy RPing with out a noob, or a harasser interrupting what they're doing. However; making the guest put the RP on hold, not a good idea. I wouldn't want a staff telling me I had to put MY RP on hold because of a dumb @$$. Whispering the harasser, asking them to stop polity is going to help a lot. If they continue to ruin the RP, eject their ass' :D
  Helping someone know what 'Godmoding is' or 'twinking' is is very helpful, and can help an issue if there is one during an RP. I know for a fact The Crew doesn't put up with this behavior, and neither should any of the other packs residing here.
  
  
• I know I'm going out of order.. Just jumping all around this application- Sorry. However, I like your Greeting. If I were new here, I'd really enjoy a warm welcoming and not to mention help being offered. I'm kind of that annoying person who will go out of their way to whisper staff in different dreams and attack them with questions. Instead of just saying "RP" Maybe add in what kind of RP. Seeings as we're usually a Para/Multi-Para dream.
  
  
• Last but not least! All this ejecting. I don't want the pretty red button to be a fall back for staff. Ejecting can get you in a lot of trouble if it's used wrong, or unjustly. Simply whisper other staff informing them about the situation. If they feel ejecting is best, then by all means. Kick their ass'. Banning, if you feel someone needs to be banned, go to a Dream Owner, or to Orchis her self.

Mayara's saying? Trial Staff. Why Trial Staff, Mayara? Because I want to make sure you can be active enough to fill this job spot. Being staff, being active is very important :)

Thank you Mayara- I did whisper Glace about that- I am moving soon and will be with someone who has internet (mom) and before I wasn't around because my father wouldn't pay the internet bill. But as of lately I have been on every day for at least a few hours, and am almost always ready for rp.
