17. After you become an admin, how would you react to these situations below:

I'd ask them to stop or they will receive either a kick or a ban. I don't tolerate racism.
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?
I would ask or tell the player to stop making the remarks he/she made and that it is very uncomfortable to the players.
C: How would you deal with players who micspam?
I'd ask them through chat or a chat command to please stop. If they don't stop spamming, they receive a mute.
D: Another TF2SS admin is exploiting their powers in game; what will you do about it?
As soon as I notice it. I'd head straight for the forums and report the administrator for abuse of power.
E: What would you do when answering a report that [username] is speed hacking on one of our servers?
I'd first ask them for any proof that they were speed hacking. If there was proof, I'd respond, "Thank you for your report.
We will issue a ban on [username]."
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'd tell the player that those rules do not exist and that said user is not a TF2SS Administrator.
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?
I will just stay in my spawn and take my time to calm down if I'm experiencing any signs of stress or rage.
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'd issue a mute if it was through voice chat. If they continue their behavior through text chat, they receive a ban for disrespecting a staff member.
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'd warn the victim that this is a scammer, ban the scammer for attempting to scam, and most likely report the scammer on SteamRep.
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 tell the player that they were probably getting tired of being spawncamped by him/her using the HHH perk.
K: How do you define Admin abuse?
Admin Abuse:
When a player with any form of authority and power use their said authority and power just for their own personal gain.
