Have you managed servers previously? Yes
Which servers have you previously managed?
For TF2: Moddage.TF (an old sandbox server for TF2), and I've helped as a staff there for about a year or so before it eventually had to be shut down. As this was back in 2019 when I first started playing on community servers like Blackwonder and stuff so I don't remember much in terms of my experience but I do recall correctly that I practically helped ensure that no one was making any inappropiate builds like swastikas and stuff. In addition. if I am recalling properly, the reason they eventually shut down was due to billing issues and general maintenance problems that our sandbox plugin kept causing.
For GMod: Some DarkRP server connected to a youtuber named Fudgy for about half a month before I dipped cause of burn out.
For Discord: A server I actively help manage named Itinerant (and continue to do so to this day)
On what servers do you usually play on, and which servers would you like to moderate?
If possible, I'd like to assist in moderating the x1000, Jailbreak, and VSH servers.
Why would you like to become a moderator?
Greetings folks! It is I, THE Rat King (or previously known as Kor and Absent) and I have chosen to break this mortal coil and grace thee with my own presence after god knows how long I've actually first started actively playing on Blackwonder. Now, with introductions aside, GIVE ME YOUR CHEESE OR PERISH FROM MY MERE PRESENCE!
Internet bits aside, the main reasoning behind my desire to become a humble moderator in Blackwonder is mainly to alleviate certain issues I've seen in some of the servers, While I may mainly play in the times where the servers like Jailbreak and x100 are primarily in the midst of staff downtimes, it is also during this downtime that a lot of rulebreakers tend to rear their ugly heads. During these times, there tends to be a metric shit ton of micspammers, mass freekillers (on JB), and general rulebreakers. Usually, I try my best to help with these issues by using donor commands to either mute them, slay or teamban them depending on what they did. As for why certain folks in the Jailbreak server *still* think I'm staff despite having stated otherwise, your guess is as good as mine.
Do you know or have spoken to any of the current staff members? Yes
Please let us know the names of staff members you know or have spoken to
Rodd (or whom I call Rodd The Mann Themself)
How often do you play TF2?
Yes. (I have been told I have know life and thus play this on a daily basis, send major help I think I have an addiction)
Please give us your ideal way of punishing players, specific to the servers you want to moderate
Well, as previously mentioned, I'm the most lenient person you'll ever find. While I tend to give verbal warning for first time offenses before moving onto actual formal punishments, when it comes to mass freekilling on the jailbreak server, I usually perform a teamban (or in the case of me using my donor perms. a vote teamban) while I usually mute folks who are screaming into their mics with high pitch shrills with the intent to disorientate those with their headsets on for about 30 minutes or so. As I have seen people evade their teambans and mutes before, after sending them the evidence of these occurences, I have seen people like Rodd ban folks who have done so, so...
Edit: As I completely forgot to finish the rest of the ideal punishment part out, here's a summarized list of what I'd do:
While performing increments on the punishments, I pretty much follow a certain timeframe. said timeframe ranging from 30mins up to 6 months, or perm if needed.
Depending on the history for mic spamming and if they already received a verbal warning from me, I usually mute them for about 30minutes up to a couple hours. Free-killing would result in a slay, if they continue I'd give them a temp guard ban of up to 2 weeks (depending on the amount of folks they've intentionally killed).
Racism would be Gag and/or Mute and typically follows my general increment ruling.
For me personally. I've rarely seen folks needing a permanent ban from the servers, so I'll probably be the least likely to use such a thing for a punishment unless it was absolutely needed.
Edit 2: In accordance with some of the replies I've gotten, I'll give the full list:
For General Rules:
No Hacking/Script Usage = Permanent Server-wide Ban with proof and/or video evidence of the incident [Even I don't tolerate cheaters who purposely ruin the fun for others despite my leniency]
No Bug Exploitation = Warning > 2nd Warning > 1d Ban > 3d > 1w > 2w > 1m > Perm Ban
No Micspamming/Voicechat Abuse = Warning > 30min mute if warning was ignored > 1h > 3h > 6h > 12h > 1d > 2d > 4d > 1 week (w) > 2w > 3w > 1month (m) > 3m > 6m > Perm Mute
Blatant Racism = Warning > 30min mute if warning was ignored > 1h > 3h > 6h > 12h > 1d > 2d > 4d > 1 week (w) > 2w > 3w > 1month (m) > 3m > 6m > Perm Mute
Inappropriate Spray = Server-wide ban until spray content is fixed
Punishment Evasion = 1h Ban > 3h > 12h > 1d > 1w > 1m > 3m > 6m > Perm
For VSH:
No Camping Rule = Warning > 2nd Warning > Slay/Smite > Kick > 30m ban > 1h Ban > 3h > 9h > 1w > 3w > 1m > 3m > Perm Ban
Note: Snipers & Engineers are excluded from this ruling [unless last ones alive] if I recall correctly
Round Delaying = Warning > 2nd Warning > Slay/Smite > Kick > 30m Ban > 1h > 3h > 1d > 3d > 1w > 3w > 1m > 3m > 6m > Perm
For x1000
No Spawn camping = Warning > 2nd Warning > Slay/Smite > Kick > 30m Ban > 1h > 3h > 9h > 1d > 3d > 1w > 2w > 1m > 3m > 6m Perm
For Jailbreak
Mass Freekilling (as Guard) = Slay/Smite + 1w guard ban > 3w > 5w > 1m > 3m > 6m > Perm
Freekilling = Slay/Smite + Warn > 1h Guard ban > 3h > 1d > 3d > Follow MFK set
Illegal FF = Slay/Smite + Warn > 1h Guard ban > 3h > 1d > 3d > Follow MFK set
Forced and/or Illegal Freeday = 30min Guard ban > 1h > 3h > 12h > 1d > 3d > 1w > Perm Guard ban
Button Griefing w/o Warden Perms = Warning > 1h Guard Ban > 3h > 12 > 1d > 3d > 1w > 3w > 1m > 3m > 6m > Perm Gag
No Mic As Warden w/ Forced Freeday = Perm guard ban until mic can be proven
Ghosting = Warn > 10m Gag > 30m > 1h > 3h > 6h > 1d > 3d > 1w > 3w > 1m > 3m > 6m > Perm Gag
Armoury Camping = Warning > Slay/Smite > Kick > 1h Guard ban > 3h > 1d > 2d > 3d > 1w > 3w > 1m > 3m > 6m > Perm Guard ban
Round Delaying = See VSH Section for this
Is there any other information you would like us to know about?
I remember getting warned for accidentally button grieving a while ago but I don't remember if it was 60 days ago or not...
