Congratulations! You have become a member of Skynet's vast community and have rose the ranks to the frail but majestic Trial-Moderator! Now you need to get to work and make Skynet proud! But first, I bet you need advice!
The following is an honest, brutal analysis of what you should expect if you become a member of staff, the screenshots are not necessarily in any order and some events will not include every screenshot, if you are interested in seeing the rest you can look through my gallery.

It should also be noted that my opinions are not the same as everyone else, and some opinion may being used in the captions of these photos. This guide does not discuss everything you should or should not do, everything on our servers is situational and bound to change.
As a member of Skynet, you are most likely aware that our community is far from perfect
Waldoz and I chatting, fooling around with the middle finger and dab tools.
Here at Skynet we have the belief that racism/homophobia/etc are fine as long as it does not affect high-level staff.
A dispute between myself and another player about whether Nazi propaganda was allowed. Now it has been entirely allowed at at times supported by some staff.
Someone decorating the old map's catwalk with a large amount of signs.
Yet this should not discourage you! Despite the lack of censor we are free to our own opinion and in fact make some humorous and memorable moments together as a community! This is most likely why you're even here reading this!
Server Owner Nekon chatting with the community.
Hail the invisible arm, ruler of the 7 seas.
3 MTF and a NTF working with the Site Director to restore order. I wish I caught their names because they were very fun people.
Now that we've highlighted on your friends and loved ones, it's time to get to business. You're finally a trial-mod! Hooray! But this doesn't mean you get freedom to do as you please! You still have rules and obligations! No sitting around on the job!
Slender and Alexis, along with Namebot and a few others telling Campfire stories, they went off-duty because we had about 6-7 staff on that day and we told them we had it covered. I flew by for my break to check it out myself.
First thing you should do upon logging on is check the amount of players online by holding down the "tab" key. If there is less than 1 staff member per 3 players, it might not hurt to get on duty!
The tab menu at a day and time I long forgot.
Now that you are on duty, it's time to take a report! Simply type down in the chatbox "!reportsadmin" and you'll see a list of recent reports. Find an open empty area (such as your spawn!), read the report, and bring all the players involved with the report!
An individual who made a report, about what I honestly forget, but he was reasonable about it.
After bringing all players involved (outside of verbal testimony witnesses!) to the sit location, give all players a chance to defend themselves. Be fair and don't pick favoritism over certain roles, players, or ideas. The rules make the decision, not your emotions.
As a sidenote young staff member, if you reach admin, you'll be able to strip weapons and jail anyone in a sit who tries RDMing/RDAing/etc while there!
An individual in a sit for activating the server nuke twice, due to having staff powers he had to be jailed so he couldn't do anything without un-jailing himself first.
Upon reaching a conclusion of who broke the rules (if anyone), give the proper warns necessary and return the players. Try not to rush sits but don't take longer than necessary, save conversations about your decision for another time and if you can't avoid arguing with one of the players ask another staff member for help.
Me, asking fellow staff member Alexis if I handled a previous sit properly, it was agreed I dealt with it in an "okay" manner.
Congratulations! You've survived your first sit and properly dealt with a rule breaker or misunderstanding about the rules! Now you've probably rinsed/repeated this a few times and got a good 5-6 reports down on your first day! It's been a long day and you probably want to get off-duty! But be warned! If you are the only staff, or the only non-afk staff and you get off-duty, you'd be abandoning your post! Not fun for anyone else! Try to check with other online staff before getting offline to avoid confusion of who's shift it may be! ? Because the best staff is a communicating staff!
Now you've gone off-duty after a good 3 hours of work, great job rookie! But now you've gone ahead and caught a rule breaker, or multiple rule breakers whilst off duty! What should do?
A player entering D-block as SCP-372
Firstly, talk to the person as a peer, see if they will understand they did something wrong and stop. This sometimes works!
A security officer who ran out of spawn, but when I told him it was against the rules he came back in, meanwhile MTF were running inside so I needed fellow staff help.
But sometimes it does not, when this happens you have two options depending on the situation at hand.
A) Warn the person, despite being off duty. This will most likely get you in trouble unless the rest of staff likes you.
B) report the person and wait for another staff member to deal with it. It takes much longer, but will probably work too.
Sometimes people will repeat offenses, or break the rules in large herds of minges, do not worry! Often times admins will deal with this themselves, but if you are an admin the command "!jail @" is always handy!
Me jailing 2 SCPs who kept running around D-Block.
Congratulations rookie! You have made it halfway through the tutorial! Look for part two if you want extra advice for what to do!
