It is very rare that I lose control, and sadly I can't remember the last time I ever lost control.


13. What do you consider in your personality to be strengths? What do you consider in your personality to be weaknesses?
A strength is that I am very hard to anger and I am always in a happy mood, a weakness is that I can be too happy at sad times like funerals or breakups

I will tell him to stop, if he continues to do so I will kick him, If he returns then he will be banned, the duration will be based on how racist the player was.


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 will tell them that other people in this server find what they are saying is too offensive and ask them to stop, if they do not the will be gagged or muted for 10-30 min depending on intensity of what they are saying.


C: How would you deal with players who micspam?
I will tell them to stop, If they continue they will be muted for 10-30min.


D: Another TF2SS admin is exploiting their powers in game; what will you do about it?
Tell them what they are doing is wrong then ask them to stop, If they continue I will notify someone with higher power.


E: What would you do when answering a report that [username] is speed hacking on one of our servers?
I will join the server in spectator mode and check if the player is using the shop, if he is then I will tell the acuser what he did then i will leave, if it is real then he will be the hacker will be permanantly banned.


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 will tell the victim that they are fine, then I will tell the threat that he is a lier to the server, finally he will be banned for 30min and possably notifed to a person of higher power depending on who he is impersonating.


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 continue to play the game normally because what they are doing is not against 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 will tell them to stop and if they continue they will be muted and gaged for 10-30min depending on their insensity of language.

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 will tell him that the shop has no rules to its use, if he wants to slay him he can.


K: How do you define Admin abuse?
I see admin abuse as using your powers such as, godmode, noclip, crits, to kill the other players. I also see it as kicking and banning because they beat you in a duel, thats abuse and bad sportsmanship.



After filling out this application, what are your feelings toward becoming a Server Admin on our servers?
I feel this could be fun and difficult at times, but I think I can do it.

Your application contains some errors here and there but the reasoning behind your responses still show.

I think this app could be improved upon a little bit more. Nonetheless, I still enjoyed reading this application.

Good luck in the coming week!

Could you possibly link us to any of these servers?
Quote

B. On the forums?
I can go to the forums if and when requested.
This isn't really a thing that will be requested of you. We expect you to be on it on your own terms. Could you possibly give us an approximate ammount of time that you could be on the forums?

12. Describe a time when you lost control of your emotions and how you were able to cope with the situation (P.S: This can be about anything; it doesn't have to be from in-game.):
It is very rare that I lose control, and sadly I can't remember the last time I ever lost control.
Surely you've had a time when you've lost control of your emotions. It could be anything you want. We are not here to make fun or judge you if you've lost control of yourself. It happens to all of us, its a common thing to happen to a person. As said before, it could be any bad experience that you've had and how you handled it. Say if a friend made fun of you and you got mad. How would you handle that?
What you're saying here is that you can't remember the last time you got mad. I find that hard to believe. Please try to think hard about a time where you've gotten mad. It helps us admin's see your true personality a little better.

A strength is that I am very hard to anger and I am always in a happy mood, a weakness is that I can be too happy at sad times like funerals or breakups
Anything else? What you have right here is good, however do you have any more personality defining traits? It would be helpful to see what you're really like as a person (and will help us in deciding if you become admin :) )

Why do you rank yourself so low in the following: Troubleshooter, Perceptive, and Creative.

I will tell him to stop, if he continues to do so I will kick him, If he returns then he will be banned, the duration will be based on how racist the player was.
If he returns you will ban him? A kick is meant to do just that. To kick them. They can join back if they want. Also, how long will a ban be depending on the racism level? If they are mildly racist, will they be banned for a day? A week? Could you possibly be a little more clear on what you mean?
Quote

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 will tell them that other people in this server find what they are saying is too offensive and ask them to stop, if they do not the will be gagged or muted for 10-30 min depending on intensity of what they are saying.
What if they aren't actually being offensive and the people who are getting offended are just really delicate? What makes you determine something that is offensive? What if they continue after their mute/gag? What will the punishment be?
Quote

C: How would you deal with players who micspam?
I will tell them to stop, If they continue they will be muted for 10-30min.
Again, what will the punishment be if they continue after the mute?
Quote

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 will tell the victim that they are fine, then I will tell the threat that he is a lier to the server, finally he will be banned for 30min and possably notifed to a person of higher power depending on who he is impersonating.
Why only possibly notified? Also shouldn't you handle the problem yourself? What if the Impersonator joins back again? What will their punishment be if they continue to fake out people?
Quote

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 will tell them to stop and if they continue they will be muted and gaged for 10-30min depending on their insensity of language.
Again, what if they continue after their mute or gag?
Quote

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 will inform the server that this is a false statement and tell the player that he/she needs to stop, if i am ignored or questioned my authority they will be kicked/gagged.
Why does it matter if they question your authority? What if they do ignore you? What good would a gag do if they're kicked? How long would it be for? What if a person gets scammed?

This app was slightly hard to read. It had numerous spelling and grammar related errors within it. I Highly suggest you go back and revise your entire application. Fix it of the errors, beef up your answers, and answer my questions that I have given you.

12. Basically what sets me off is when people think they are the best and when they screw up they blame it on there group.

5. I can not link you to these servers because they are just files on his PC that stay on all day and all I do is moderate the server.

I can be on the forums around 8:00am-11:00pm

13. I am the person that will try to brighten anyone's day. I like to make puns, although they are not funny.

14. I rated these because when a machine breaks at my work I am the one to fix it, and to do so I need to know how to do it correctly, and if I am bored I may make up my own thing to do.

15a. He will be banned for 1 hour, the intensity tells me what reason to make, like if he is over the top I will tell him that he needs to tone down a lot. If it is very minimal it might just be a kicked.

15b. Basically I will ask him to tone it down. my determination is based on the reaction the offended makes to the comment, and if he continues he will be kicked. If he returns again he will be banned for 2 hours.

15c. They will be banned for 2-3 hours.

15f.  When I say possibly, it means if I can report him if I can get his name before he leaves. if they continue the will be permanently banned for impersonation.

15h. If they continue they will be banned for 2-3 hours.

15i. he might think i am just trying to do the same thing he is. and I mean't kicked or gagged

It is also Shadow's second time applying, showing a commitment to SwapShop. Last time was about a year ago. Just another thing to consider.

Yeah, I know. Or at least, soon enough.

Thank you for applying for TF2SwapShop administration, however we regret to inform you that we feel that you do not satisfy our standards for server administrators at the moment.

You may re-apply again after 3 months have passed.

Application denied.
