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?
Warn them to stop, if they continue gag, if they continue in chat kick, if they come back and do the same thing ban, simple as that.
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?
Ask the player to stop saying what they are saying so that everyone, or at least the majority, can have a good time playing and trading.
C: How would you deal with players who micspam?
Tell them to be quite because nobody likes micspam, and if they continue gag them, if nobody actually cares for some reason they can continue.
D: Another TF2SS admin is exploiting their powers in game; what will you do about it?
Report the abuse to higher ups if the admin uses their powers like that for a prolonged period of time.
E: What would you do when answering a report that [username] is speed hacking on one of our servers?
I would try to investigate what was happening and if I caught them speed hacking, I would give them a perma ban for being a script kitty in one of the servers
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?
Simply tell the player that those rules do not exist and that they shouldn't threaten another player and just report them if they think they are breaking the rules.
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?
Nothing, I will just try my best to kill em all while still having fun in the game.
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?
If the player annoys everyone on the server and is being a dick, they will be warned, if they continue they will be gagged, and if they make any threats to the server or its player they will get a ban.
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?
The player will probably be scamming so I personally would stop that crap right away and warn them to never do it again.
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?
If you bought it and somebody slayed you, there is nothing I can do about it unless it was an admin slaying you for no reason.
K: How do you define Admin abuse?
Abusing powers by mass kicking or banning, making stupid and obnoxious stuff happen for no reason, and using their powers to gain the advantage against everyone else.
After filling out this application, what are your feelings toward becoming a Server Admin on our servers?
I feel like I can 100% be a good admin on the ingame servers and believe that I can help people have a better time as well.
