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 warn them up to 3 times, asking for them to stop, and if they continue to disrupt the environment, I would mute/gag them from the server for 30 minutes. If they continue after they are un-muted/gag, I will temporary 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 have to ask other online admins to see what their opinion would be regarding the remarks that another player made.
C: How would you deal with players who micspam?
I would ask for them to turn off the micspam with 2 warnings. If they continue, they will be server muted for 30 minutes. If they continue after the 30 minute mute, I will take the next consequence on the list, which would be a ban.
D: Another TF2SS admin is exploiting their powers in game; what will you do about it?
I will start recording a demo file of what is currently taking place in the server the TF2SS admin is doing, and once I have enough footage recorded, I would submit the demo to a Head Administrator.
E: What would you do when answering a report that [username] is speed hacking on one of our servers?
I would try my absolute best to join the server as quickly as possible, spectate the player speed hacking, and if the user is indeed using some type of hack to get higher power, I would issue a permanent IP ban on the user.
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?
Since it is against the rules, I would server mute them for possibly an hour, or more, depending on how long the regular user kept on threatening to ban the other player.
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 be forced to do nothing, as it is not a violation of the rules, and even if I could do something, it would be to ask for some friends to join the server and help out, or just leave the 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 issue a server mute and gag for disrupting the community with rage-inducing insults. If the player continues, I will submit 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 tell the user that is about to trade a hat to the impersonator, to check the admin list on the swapshop website to make sure the user, who is offering free godmode, is actually a registered admin on swapshop.
I would also tell the admin impersonator to end his quest to get a free hat, and to either play as a normal user, or leave.
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 inform them that the server perks are able to be bought by any user at any time, and that perks are no violation to any of the server rules. If they were a violation, they would be removed from the perks shop.
K: How do you define Admin abuse?
Using commands to an extent that it would be interrupting the community. Anyone that feels that their playing experience is corrupted by the admin would also be admin abuse, as he is still disrupting the community.
After filling out this application, what are your feelings toward becoming a Server Admin on our servers?
I would love to become a Server Administrator, but knowing me, I still have a lot to improve on, and I would do so along the way.
If I get accepted as a Server Admin, I would not let the SwapShop community down. I would do everything it takes to make sure everyone's playing experience on any of the swapshop servers is the best one yet.
