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?
If the offence is continuous and malicious then warn the person via chat that it is against server rules (as defined in server rules as "not acceptable" along with homophobia, sexism, etc.). If the comments persisted after a warning a kick/temporary ban should be put in place to let the player calm down.
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?
If I do not find the comments offensive then I would revert to server rules to see if the comments warranted action.
C: How would you deal with players who micspam?
Initiate a warning that it is against server rules as it restricts fun for others. If the player persisted then action (kick/ban) would need to be taken.
D: Another TF2SS admin is exploiting their powers in game; what will you do about it?
Simply report the offending admin to an admin superior to myself.
E: What would you do when answering a report that [username] is speed hacking on one of our servers?
I would need proof that the user was speed hacking. Then if I saw the user was indeed hacking then I would ban the user. Hackers have no place on TF2.
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?
Politely correct the user that they cannot ban players and should not impersonate an admin -- but they are welcome to report players via the /report function.
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?
This doesn't really bother me, it's all a game, afterall. If they did it to someone else though, I would probably give a warning in chat.
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 don't mind people calling me an asshole! It's a game and it doesn't bother me. If the user is screaming on the mic, however, then I would treat it the same as mic spam.
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?
Notify the user that it's against the rules and could be dangerous for them - they do not know if the other side will continue with the trade.
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's the game!
K: How do you define Admin abuse?
A clear misuse of power that abuses or ignores server rules to suit the agenda of the admin.
After filling out this application, what are your feelings toward becoming a Server Admin on our servers?
I would like to admin the Mario Kart servers primarily. I would like to help get them popular again because they are not as popular as they have previously been.
