17. 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?
I would tell this person politely to stop using the server announcement text and if they were not to stop i would mute for a possible five to ten minutes based on the scenario. I really can't answer this question well due to it being so open. For example racist jokes are OK in my book but to single out an entire group is simply wrong.
B: A group of players are offended by remarks that another player made, but you yourself do not find them to be offensive. How would you respond?
Well I would ask them nicely to stop using server announcement chat and if they continued i would mute for twenty to thirty minutes.
C: How would you deal with players who micspam?
I would ask the micspammer to stop and if they did not they would be kicked, mics are a privilege not a right!
D: Another TF2SS admin is exploiting their powers in game; what will you do about it?
I would use !report and make a post on it while recording video and hope they would get what's coming to them
E: What would you do when answering a report that [username] is speed hacking on one of our servers?
I would join that server (if I could), I would join the spectators team and spectate. If they are found guilty I would instantly ban them with the ban text being "please go to tf2ss.com to appeal your ban for:speedhacking"
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?
I would remind that threatening player to read the rules as that rule does not exist.
G: A group of enemy players dominate you, ignoring everyone else and changing teams if you join the team they are on, killing only you over and over again. What will you do about it?
What I would do is join another server and wait an hour or so then get back on that server, if they are still on I would just stay on the other server.
H: How do you deal with a player who comments publicly that: you are an asshole, the server sucks ass, and continues to insult anyone who kills them with profanity & by screaming on the mic?
I would first mute their voice mic telling them to calm down, if they did not do so after the cool off I would kick them.
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?
I would report to the forum and kick the person who is claiming free godmode for a hat with the report link in the kick message.
J: A player who bought the Headless Horsemann perk from the shop complains after another player slays him/her. What do you tell the slayed Headless Horsemann player?
I wouldn't do anything unless it got to out of hand, in which case I would simply tell them to stop complaining as it's not against the rules to kill someone while they are headless horsemann.
K: How do you define Admin abuse?
I define admin abuse as the sort of any admin using their power over a server to abuse certain or all players period.
After filling out this application, what are your feelings toward becoming a Server Admin on our servers?
That is a hard but effective way to keep things like hackers and abusers out of adminship
