Counter Strike Confederation

6:15 PM

Why do you want to be an Arbiter? I don't have a ton of extra time to commit to CSC but would like to help out and this seems like a good middle ground. What experience do you have, if any, that would help you in the position of Arbiter?

 I'm a teacher so I mediate fights between kids all day. Also I'm a reasonable level headed adult with at least average reading comprehension which seems pretty important.

If Player A is struck for being rude (Rule 10) to Player B, but claims that it was a joke, how would you rule this case and why?

 Since rule 10 punishment is at the moderators discretion I would ask the mod for any context that made them decide to strike and likely ask Player B how they felt about the comment.

Yo there are a lot of candidates this time. I was worried there would be nobody. I'll probably be a good arbiter but so would a lot of these people so vote with your hearts.

Fun fact: Arbiters have 7 days to make a decision once the appealant has made their initial claims, however time sensitive punishments like mutes and MD bans can affect a players ability to play in matches and events. With that in mind, there can be some pressure to make decisions faster than others may feel comfortable doing so. How confident are you in your abilities to analyze and address provided evidence in a timely manner while still feeling that enough due diligence was done?

As a former arbiter, I understand that there are times where the mods and admins might disagree with how the arbiters are approaching a case. If elected, do you plan on finding ways to better meet in the middle with the other parties or do you want to stick to your own opinions on cases? Are you wanting to find ways bolster the arbiter's abilities and suggest changes to the committee and/or the mods' behavior guidelines since you rule based on those guidelines?

RC is the legislative branch, they make the rules, mods are the executive branch, they enforce the rules. Arbiters are the judicial branch, they interpret the rules from the legislature and ensure that the executive is applying them correctly. I'm not a big fan of judicial activism. I would want to encourage conversation between the branches but it's not an arbiters job to change policy with their decisions
