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?
I would tell the person who's saying racist things to stop. If he cooperates, I'll be glad. If he doesn't, I'll warn him three times and if he still doesn't cooperate, the only option is to gag him for only 30 mins to an hour.
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 tell the player who's being offended to ignore the chat and continue playing. If he doesn't, I would also tell him that he could join a different server so he wouldn't be offended by the player. But the player that was offending him, I'll warn him.
C: How would you deal with players who micspam?
I would kindly ask the micspammer to stop. If he doesn't cooperate, I would mute him for 30 mins.
D: Another TF2SS admin is exploiting their powers in game; what will you do about it?
If one of the admins were admin abusing, I would warn him/her. If they won't cooperate, I would make a report about it. I would also ban him until the higher officials has a solution to solve it.
E: What would you do when answering a report that [username] is speed hacking on one of our servers?
I would join and see if the player is actually speed hacking. If he is, I would most likely perma-ban the hacker. If he isn't, I would tell the player who reported would get a warning. If it happens again, I would ban him for a couple of days for spamming the report.
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 tell the player that he doesn't have the authority of making a rule to the server. I would tell the player to read the rules and follow 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?
I would just stay in spawn and relax. If he laughs at me, it doesn't matter. He didn't do anything wrong to be kicked or banned. He's just playing the game correctly.
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 tell the player that's complaining to stop and convince him/her to calm down. If they won't cooperate, I would gag/mute them for 30 mins or an hour for spamming.
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 warn the player who's giving god mode. I also would warn the player to not give anything to someone that claims they're admin. If the player who is impersonating as an admin doesn't cooperate, I would ban him for impersonating as an admin.
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 it's just a game and that he did bought it. I also would tell him to relax and join a different server. He can come back later and enjoy the game.
K: How do you define Admin abuse?
I define Admin Abuse as a person who thinks they have the power to do anything with anyone. It's like making the non-admin players to obey the admin. Admin Abuse happens by going to their spawn and killing them, using God Mode while killing, noclip to spawns, and using infinite ammo to spam pipes or stickies.
After filling out this application, what are your feelings toward becoming a Server Admin on our servers?
If I got accepted, I would be happy. I would follow the rules, being responsible on the server, helping people to be successful, and enjoy the game.
