Warn, then if continues, mute.

Tell one of the higher ranked Admins.

Go incognito, check the user through spectate, maybe get another Admin to look for clarification, recorded if needed, then ban if appropriate.

Tell everyone involved that the rule does not exist and offer a warning to the player making the claims.

Either kill them back, buy god mode from the shop, or just leave.

Warn them for mic spamming, mute them if needed. The screaming part I would interpret as micspam, not the rest of the actions given.
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?
Tell everyone that they can not do that. If someone falls for their scam, then It's their loss, but I tried to warn them.
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?
Too bad, too sad. They are allowed to do that.

Abusing powers like godmode, noclip, and banning falsely to get a gain from everyone else.
After filling out this application, what are your feelings toward becoming a Server Admin on our servers?
