16. After you become an admin, how would you react to these situations below:
A: How would you deal with a person who was making racist comments?
a warning then a temporary ban

Some people can see a temp ban as abuse for things like this. Without your prior knowledge of this, is there any other way that you could handle this?

D: Another TF2SS admin is exploiting their powers in game; what will you do about it?
report it to the forums

What if the abusing admin has a position in the forums and removes your post?

E: What would you do when answering a report that [username] is speed hacking on one of our servers?
ask for proof/evidence or if any other players saw it

And what if he is speed hacking? What would you do to handle this/get your own evidence of it?

F: A regular user threatens to ban another player if they do not comply with rules that do not exist. What will you do about it?
a warning a kick then a temp ban

What will you warn him/her about?

I: A regular player on our server says that they will offer free godmode for anyone who trades a hat to them. What will you do about it?
a kick then a temp ban

Would you tolerate a warning for this? What would you call what the regular player is doing?

Now how would you describe the anger you feel? Was it vented onto the server/server attendants? How often do you get upset over being killed?

It was never towards the players it is usually towards my computer because i lag pretty often and that gets me killed 50% of the time

Why did you rate yourself a 3 on creative, 4 objective, and 4 on troubleshooting?

I don't view myself as very creative I am not very good at solving bigger problems as for objective i misunderstood what it meant i would give myself a 6 or 7 because my judgement is not that bad

instead of temp banning him i could temporarily gag him if i see him do it again

D: Another TF2SS admin is exploiting their powers in game; what will you do about it?
report it to the forums

What if the abusing admin has a position in the forums and removes your post?

I would contact one of the heads and report it with any evidence i have

E: What would you do when answering a report that [username] is speed hacking on one of our servers?
ask for proof/evidence or if any other players saw it

And what if he is speed hacking? What would you do to handle this/get your own evidence of it?

I would just have to be on the lookout for him and if/when i catch him he will be banned

F: A regular user threatens to ban another player if they do not comply with rules that do not exist. What will you do about it?
a warning a kick then a temp ban

What will you warn him/her about?

i would warn him/her about impersonating an admin and if he does not listen he will be banned

I: A regular player on our server says that they will offer free godmode for anyone who trades a hat to them. What will you do about it?
a kick then a temp ban

Would you tolerate a warning for this? What would you call what the regular player is doing?

now that i rethink it i would not tolerate a warning or a kick because he is impersonating an admin and scamming so i would just ban him
