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 polity ask the person to stop and if he/she didn't stop I would begin by muting the person and telling the player why I muted him/her. If the situation ever escalated any further I would seek out a kick or maybe a ban.
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 made the offended remarks to polity stop and respect that other players get offended too. If the situation escalated any further I would proceed to mute the player and tell him/her that it was getting offensive and he/she should stop,
C: How would you deal with players who micspam?
I would mute the player and explain why I muted him/her. I would then proceed to mute him/her and make sure they dont mic spam again
D: Another TF2SS admin is exploiting their powers in game; what will you do about it?
I would tell one of the higher power admins that he/she is abusing power. Then I would try and ask to stop and if not get someone else to handle the situation of the admin exploit.
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 just play it quiet. Speed hackers usually stop hacking when the admin comes on. Make it look like im a regular player and then if he is speed hacking I would freeze the player and tell them to stop hacking. If they didn't stop I would then ban the player.
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 other player immediately that those rules do not exist and he will not get banned. I would then kick the regular user and tell him that threatening other players is not tolerated on 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 not over react to the situation. If I saw they were killing only me I would not go out of spawn and just stay afk monitoring the server. If I see nothing needs to be done I would polity leave and join a different Swap Shop server
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 mute the player and explain that those are harsh comments that we dont tolerate. If he/she continues I would seek out to kick and if so 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?
I would mute the player and tell everyone that nobody is getting free god mode. We dont offer free god mode and I would ask for the player who is offering to stop.
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?
That people have a right to slay the headless horsemann and if he/she wants it back to buy another one.
K: How do you define Admin abuse?
Admin abuse is when one admin is over using his/her power as an admin. By killing people with godmode or kicking people and banning random people. This would be admin abuse and I would not tolerate it.
After filling out this application, what are your feelings toward becoming a Server Admin on our servers?
I feel very passionate that I could benefit the server and what its like to be a player on the server. I feel with my help I could make it a better place to enjoy and have fun with other people!
