15. What do you consider in your personality to be strengths? What do you consider in your personality to be weaknesses?

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?
Possibly a Warning, depending on the type of slur issued; Muting the player(s) for about an hour, if he continues after the hour is up, issue a 24hour mute; if that isn't sufficient enough, and the player is constantly being reported, permanently mute them.
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 the player making the offensive remarks to stop nicely, and also ask the players that are being offended to try to ignore or mute that player.
C: How would you deal with players who micspam?
I would ask them to stop, and if it continues; I'd issue a warning. If it then continues, I will mute for up to 1 hour depending on severity
D: Another TF2SS admin is exploiting their powers in game; what will you do about it?
I will immediately contact either the owner or the head administrators to help with the situation, by first explaining to them which server I am on, and what the admin is doing that is against the rules
E: What would you do when answering a report that [username] is speed hacking on one of our servers?
If the user has rolled or bought the high-speed perk in the server, than I would not issue a proper ban, but if there were no logs of that user purchasing or rolling that perk, I would instantly permanently ban them, while recording it to have provided proof.
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 warn the user that Admin Impersonation is not tolerated, and if it continues to the same user he is threatening or others; I'd ban the user permanently with provided proof
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?
Since spawncamping is allowed, I'd have to allow it since it is not technically in violation in the rules | Now if I player reports a group of people or a person for spawn camping, i'd mostly like go into that server and explain to them that it is allowed and is not in violation of the rules.
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 feel as if they actually have a problem with the server, the best way to hear about their problem is to ask about it, so what i'd do is either add them and message them or maybe trade with them, and ask them what problem they have with the Swap Shop or another user, and if it's a more serious problem pertaining to the Swap Shop, I would bring it up with head administrators or the owner of the server.
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 ask them to not ask other players or offer other players that perk, as I see it can be a major downside for others | I also believe that at the swap shop, everyone should have a fair trade , and to not scam others for something they could only use until they disconnected.
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 would tell the player that it was their credits they wasted on that perk.
K: How do you define Admin abuse?
I define admin abuse as this:Exploiting for personal advantage, Threatening to ban players because the admin doesn't like them, Banning people because they want to, with no actual given reason, Using permissions to give every player a disadvantage for personal advantages
After filling out this application, what are your feelings toward becoming a Server Admin on our servers?
After filling out this application, my feelings about becoming a Server Admin are still positive and high-up! | I feel as if that this server has done really well with their current staff team, and for me becoming an admin would make me be useful to the SwapShop and to all of the staff that have either volunteered or become full-time administrators here.
