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 ask the user to stop making racial slurs. After several warnings I would mute and/or gag the person.
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?
It would all depend on the remark. If it was a racial slur or anything that was in the rules and guidelines. I would treat it like any other situation where someone was making racial slurs. If not a part of the rules I would try to resolve the situation.
C: How would you deal with players who micspam?
I would give the user several warnings not to mic spam and if they continued I would mute them for a small period of time.
D: Another TF2SS admin is exploiting their powers in game; what will you do about it?
I would record what the admin is doing and try to get other admins as witnesses and report it to one of the head administrators.
E: What would you do when answering a report that [username] is speed hacking on one of our servers?
I would join the server and gather up evidence of the user speed hacking such as a demo. I would also get other admins to help me check and confirm that the person was speed hacking. If the user was confirmed to be hacking by me and other admins present then a permanent ban would be issued.
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 remind them of the rules and tell them that that's not in the rules. If the player insisted to make up rules then I would kick the person from the server.
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 continue to play the game normally and perhaps purchase something using my "/shop" credits if I had any.
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 ask the person to calm down. if they insisted screaming on the mic and continued with this inappropriate behavior I would have them gagged and muted for a short period of time.
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 instantly ban the player for attempting to scam.
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 a good try and try to keep the player positive. I might also encourage them to purchase something else from the shop.
K: How do you define Admin abuse?
I define admin abuse as unfairly using power to gain an advantage, typically a power that is unavailable to normal users. Examples might be killing a player constantly, freezing a player, etc
