A group of mingey (people that do not wish to follow the rules) players had joined my server whilst working on adding plugins, they would not stop harassing other players after repeated times of being warned, I had kicked out all the none mingey players so I would do a server-wide ban. I had lost my temper and it was uncalled for to kick all the good players even to stop a situation like this.

14. 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 immediately mute or gag (depending on which form of communication they are using) Give them one warning and one warning only. If they quit and rejoin just to continue with the racist comments I would ban them with the consent of the players' vote for a certain period of time.
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 warn them to stop, if they refuse I would kick them. If they were to come back and continue with the remarks I would give them one more warning for timed ban.
But, if the players do NOT find it offensive as well as myself I would assume it to be a null comment, and ignore it.
C: How would you deal with players who micspam?
Warn, if they do not stop after a time period of about 20 seconds after the warn, they would get gagged.
D: Another TF2SS admin is exploiting their powers in game; what will you do about it?
I would report it to the highest ranking staff as well as try and suppress the current admin's abuse/use of abilities until a higher staff can be reached.
E: What would you do when answering a report that [username] is speed hacking on one of our servers?
I would message back with: "Thank you for your report, I will hop into the server as soon as possible, if I am not able to enter the server I will notify other staff members in hope of getting them to connect."
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, first, politely tell the user to not threaten other players with abilities they do not have. If they continue to impersonate a higher up I would then kick them for staff impersonation.
I do not believe that something as small as that would need to be punished by something as large as a ban. But if they were to scam the player into handing over their items or get banned, I would immediately ban the threatening player and be sure to tell the user being scammed to exit the trade and not send ANY items to the banned user.
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 would not do anything, sure I may rage quit, but nothing massive, its merely a game thing. No punishment is needed for something as small as that.
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, warn them firmly to stop with the excessive mic spam as well as chat spam, I would give them 10 seconds to comply or I would mute as well as gag them. Rejoining to continue these actions would result in a timely 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?
I would tell all players in the game that it is a scam as well as warn as well as kick the player for attempted scamming.
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 say, it is a perk of the game. They had paid shop credits as well as you did, I cannot help that.
After filling out this application, what are your feelings toward becoming a Server Admin on our servers?
I feel very good. I've been with this community for over a year now and I enjoy every bit of it. (Not trying to suck up)
I have tried to associate myself with other staff in the server as well to keep a friendly images is all.
