Application Questions

Why do you want to become an admin?
I hate a lot of things. As a donor, I always try take on the responsibility of a server when no admins are around. There are times when some of my friends would ask me if I could get on their server to either: Go warden for a bit or (and this is the one I'm asked for the most about) deal with troublemakers. I hate going on a server when the first thing I hear is loud music or sounds, squeakers, etc. and then I see that blue team is full with people with no mics or free killers that have no idea what they are doing on blue team. I hate when I have to repeat myself or tell someone who is breaking rules to read the rules and they ignore me. Even after threatening to call an admin or slay/mute/gag/kick them. I try to enforce the rules every single time I'm on, and I feel like as an admin I can enforce them better and easier. I know how to report and record demos of people breaking rules . I'm also mature enough to make hard decisions and calls. I might not be the most charismatic guy in the world (much less the server) but I take things like breaking rules seriously. I have lots of vote mutes/gags/kicks under my belt, and I'm not afraid to do something when I know someone is doing something wrong. I ask lots of questions when I'm unsure of a rule. People say I have commanding voice.

As an early 2012 TF2 player, I've been to many servers and seen many things. I have been involved in many communities and servers before, and for some reason I just fell in love with BlackWonder. The community is AWESOME, the servers are AWESOME, and the admins + owner(s) are AWESOME. I don't want to become an admin for fame or power, the sole reason I want to become an admin is because I want to help BlackWonder.

Do you know any of our current staff members?
Yes

If Yes, please tell us the their names.

Please tell us when you usually play and are available.
Monday 10:00 AM-10:00 PM EST
Tuesday-Thursday 10:00 AM-11:00 PM EST
Friday-Sunday: I don't have actual time tables for these because those days are spontaneous. I'll try to get on when I can. But if you need a time, I'd say it varies, usually available for 2 hours-12 hours. Some days I do nothing while other days I go out.

How would you go about punishing a hacker, spammer, simple rulebreaker, etc?
Color based on intensity of rule:

General Rules-

Hacking- Start recording and status in console while spectating them. Permaban from server.

Chat
-

Spamming cheat advertisements: I take this very seriously and if someone does it, I'll usually start recording and enter status in console while spectating them because most who advertise cheats are usually hackers themselves. 1 Warning. If ignored- perma gag/mute (to be safe(this is debatable))

Spamming chat: This counts as spamming with binds or Lenny faces.1 Warning. If ignored- 30 Min>1 hour>6 hours>1 day

Mic-

Mic spamming (earrape or not): Warning. Mute 120 Min>6 hours>1 day>3 days

Jailbreak Specific Rules-

Freekill: If I see it, I'll ask them to slay themselves. If not, instant slay the blue who did it and I'll revive the person freekilled, as well as teleport them if needed to the rest of the reds. Teamban if its excessive for 3 days>1 week

Mass Freekill: Record, Type status, teamban for 3 weeks and Instant server ban for 1 week (If person did it purposefully). If it was by mistake (MFK'er thought he/she was last guard before warden locked + he/she made an appeal), Ban for 2 days and teamban for a week.

Over talking Warden with useless talk (blue or red: Saying stupid stuff while the warden is trying to give orders like "Have you seen the news about this missing dog?! It's crazyyyyy, blah blah blah" you get the idea: Mute 2 hours>4 hours>6 hours>1 day>3 days

Over talking admin during mic check: Instant mute 1 day>3 days

Delaying: Ask to hurry up and rebel. If not, slay in 30 seconds.

Griefing Blue or Freeday: Ask them to stop. If they ignore- Instant slay. If it's a blue, teamban 6 hours (first timer)>1 day>3 days

No mic on blue: Ask them to use their mic. If it is very poor or they don't have one, permamute.Then, If they make an appeal for it, I'll listen and unmute.

Unwardening: It is usually because they have no mic or aren't sure what to do. Teamban 1 day>3 days>1 week

Ghosting: 6 hour gag or mute for first timers>1 day>3 days

Ammo Glitching:Ask them to leave and come back because it resets the loadout. If they don't leave, Instant kick with reason (rejoin). I believe it stops them from getting ammo. If they are excessively ammo glitching, 1 day server ban.(still not sure how people "purposely" ammo glitch)

Please give any other information you might think is useful for us to know.
Regarding My Ban/Mutes:

Most of you already put what you think of me and I appreciate the brutal honesty. It's not like I'm trying to hide the fact I was banned for 3 days and muted for a week. I used to be an excessive mic spammer a year ago but I truthfully stopped doing that in around March. Since we are being truthful, I'll tell you about those times. You could decide whether you think I'm lying or not. Ever since I graduated, I did lots of things I'm not proud of. The day I was banned/muted for a week, It was the day my family was celebrating me and my brothers graduation/college application. That day, I handed In my college application and was looking to unwind. I'm from Lebanon and it is a tradition in my family to smoke and have fun. I got back home late at night that day and decided to go on tf2 stoned. As a side note, this is not something I regularly do. I'm only allowed to smoke every blue moon (6 months). The reason I stopped mic spamming was because I grew out of it. Someone gave me a long lecture of being mature and I strive to do that everyday. When I'm "out of it" (stoned), I become immature and dumb. I woke up next day seeing the ban and mute, and I told myself, "I deserve this". I shouldn't have played TF2 that late at night and decided not to make an appeal that day. Call me a hypocrite. Call me a liar. Call me immature. All I'll say to that is I appreciate the honesty. I strive everyday to become better than before. Ever since that day I stopped using my soundboard software on BlackWonder servers. I only use it on this one server that allows it at the end of each round, you can ask Jim about it (RAILBAIT), and for my Youtube channel.

I then got 1 mute after that which was from forgetting to stop my software after I accidentally hit my X key(play key)(I was on the other server and Copy invited me for some jailbreak) and the last one was Copyright and I making a joke. It was because I posted the discord server link in chat and we just laughed about it.

Activity-

I know I should be more active on the forums and discord. I hardly talk because I'm a shy person to new people. I don't know many admins because I never get a chance to talk to them. It's like being the new guy at a party your friend invited you to and trying to make friends. I feel out of place or unqualified to talk to other admins because I just met them. Jim is an old friend of mine and Copyright and I were friends when he was a donor and I was a normal member. I go on the forums everyday since last week and I am posting more often than before. I used to go on sometimes last month If I had questions about something. I joined the Forum and Discord about 2 months ago. I didn't know about them before. I'm ALWAYS online on discord. If by activity you mean talking more, etc, that is something I can improve on.

Personality and Clarifications-
Basically: Laid back and playful when I'm not stressed. When I'm warden or telling someone as a donor that they are breaking a rule, I'm very serious. I'm shy and It is something I try to work on daily. I also explain myself A LOT, which is why these paragraphs are large. I selected no in "Do you know any admin commands?" Which was because I think admin commands are different from donor commands, being they are more complicated. I know to always use / and some other minor things like @<playername> or @all, etc. It's not like I've never seen an admin command before. I learn from seeing, and before when I applied for admin on this other server, one of the admins told me that if I was accepted they would teach me all of the admin commands. They had the server and everything for it, I'm not sure if you guys do it either. This is purely from my experience from before.

Final words-
I don't know if it's cheating or bad luck, But i saw most of your comments when I accidentally hit enter. I tried to clarify some things and I'm being honest when I say I was going to talk about the ban/mute before I saw the comments because i know that everything a job interviewer looks for in the beginning of a resume is the bad stuff that have little to no explanation. I appreciate all the feedback, and I hope after FINALLY completing this like I should've done in the beginning instead of being a dummy and hitting enter, you could see this from my point of view and criticize me correctly.

[Edit] : Pressed the Enter key while I was writing "Please tell us when you usually play and are available" and it automatically made the application, I was trying to make more space, my bad.
[Edit]: Few grammatical errors and completion of application.
[Edit]: Final grammatical errors and fixed some punishments that were a bit excessive.
[Edit]: Revamped punishment section to accommodate for increase/decrease based on sourcebans.

+ Available times are ideal, since they cover usually what is the rise, climax and decline of EU and NY.
+ Punishment section is detailed, if a bit drawn out because of the spaces.
+ In the replies and edits, you've shown yourself to a much more mature person than I previously believed.
Virtually non-existent forum activity.
Doesn't know admin commands whatsoever.
Only knows 3 admins.
You haven't provided a single punishment you would dish out or their times.
You have a lot of mutes and gags under your belt cause you start votes every 5 - 10 minutes.
The report made on you and the mutes for micspamming.

Terrible application. You spent more time explaining why you want to be an admin rather than what you would actually do as an admin, which also devolved into you just saying "this community iz super kool". I do not in the slightest believe you to be a mature person capable of administrating the servers.

Hello to everyone who commented before I actually finished this (my mistake). I put what happened in the edit and I clarified on some things. I appreciate all of your feedback and hope this final draft changes your hearts. Thank you all who commented!

I clarified the entire thing in the "Regarding my Ban/Mute". I know blaming everything on my mind and the hookah is pitiful, and i should have a better excuse for opening my soundboard that day. All I can say is that was the truth and you can look at it however you want. I'm sorry.

minus support

That is the 2nd server I spend most of my time on. It seems like I have a lot, but most of these are 1 min - 10 min because the Admins and Mods joke around with me. Some of the longer comm blocks are from my old days when I mic spammed without consent (1+ years ago). Most of the time when I go on, some Mods or Admins will ask me, "Could you play that one song/sound?" I'm only allowed to play between rounds, but some Mods/Admins might say "keep playing it" while the ones who don't know me well will say "have some restraint" (Basically a whole mixture of different things that is hard enough to explain as it is). I'm involved with their community and I'm known by most of the people there. On another note, I've been mic spam-free for about 2 months now on that server, and I haven't played a single tune unless I got consent from an admin or Mod who would reassure me. You can also ask people there If I don't. Overall, If you have any questions on a particular comm block (Railbait or BlackWonder), you can ask me.

After rereading most of the comments and my own application, I understand where you and the others who commented are coming from. You and others might have seen the whole mess of mutes and came to the conclusion that I'm a notorious spammer who should have no part in the community (As a higher-up). I can't find a way to show you that I'm not the person that I used to be, but already I can see that you + the other admins/members already think I'm a bad decision. And I can't blame you. I'm not asking for forgiveness. I'm not asking you to change your verdicts. I just want you all to see what most of my friends see, and that I'm genuinely interested in becoming an admin simply to help out. Most of you are saying that I'm 'coming out of the blue', or that I 'need more time on the server'. As a counter-argument, I'd like to tell you that I know this isn't a popularity contest, but at the same time I humbly ask you all to remember that too. Even if this gets denied (Which I already see a high probability of happening based on comments), I will still be trying to be more friendly and well-known to the admins and community as a whole, and will continue to follow the rules that are laid out for me as the donor/member I am now. I wish I could turn back time and tell myself not to be an idiot (Like when I hit enter and immediately posted my application without completing it), but we don't get those luxuries. All I can do and say is that I'll continue to be the person I believe and say I am now (2 months later me), and not just through words like these, but through my actions as well. I'm also trying to be more active on the forums and on discord daily.

Regarding the punishments, I analyzed most of them before posting them. Most of the admins currently do most of these and I'm just trying to imitate them. If you can (for future reference), could you point out some of the punishments that you find are, "very hard"? Also, I did forget to mention warnings in some of the rules. As a donor, I always start with a warning (mostly regarding mics/chat/and jailbreak rules) just for clarification. I would also follow the same format if I became an admin, I just wanted to add the punishment on the idea that "I've already given 1 warning and the rule breaker still ignores me" (A plain response of what I'd do to the ruler breaker). I don't want to edit my application anymore because I think it's near-perfect as I could make it and I don't want, edit hate I guess you can call it. Also, I joined the forums 3 months ago, I still have a lot of hours on the servers as it is. It is nice to meet you Tomato Kat and I thank you for your honesty and your time, as well as to those who are reading this for the first time.

Malz here giving his unpopular opinion on the application! Also @Tomato Kat ☆ how did you find so many bans/comm blocks? I could only find 1 ban and 5 blocks.

Back to the main topic now:

I'd like to use your comment @Wanka since it seems to be the most popular opinion here. No hard feelings. I merely took your stance to compare it to mine.

Virtually non-existent forum activity.
Yes, you could rate that as negative. But it is not necessary to become an admin.

Doesn't know admin commands whatsoever.
I would not rate that as a bad thing. It is quiet easy to teach someone admin commands. Heck, I would volunteer to do it (and always ask Buster for the answer)

Only knows 3 admins.
How is that a bad thing? It is good that he knows 3 admins. On some servers (like deathrun), you can be happy to know one admin. Three is totally fine in my book.

You haven't provided a single punishment you would dish out or their times.
The application is done now and this I would like you to reconsider this point. They look pretty neat to me, even if some of the punishment time differ very much from mine.
Example: I usually go 30 min, 60 min, 1 day, 2 days, 1 week for micspam.

You have a lot of mutes and gags under your belt cause you start votes every 5 - 10 minutes.
Though I have very, very limited experience on jailbreak, I still think that sometimes it is needed to start a vote every 5-10 minutes. Jailbreak can be one messy place. Yet I do now know how many of these punishments were "debatable", meaning how many could be seen as "unnecessary" or avoidable.

The report made on you and the mutes for micspamming.
I did take a look at his bans and comm blocks. Note that I did not get the same results as @Tomato Kat ☆ . It is indeed bad that he has comm blocks for micspamming. And I would also point out that it would worry me. But at this point, I am willing to give him a chance. Not only are we in need of admins, but the last 'real' comm block was 3 weeks ago. And the one before was a month ago. Yes, it is not good to have any bans or comm blocks in your history, yet I am willing to overlook it if (see the following text).

Note: At this point, my deciding factor would be your chatlog. They tells a lot about your personality. And they give us the chance to see how you act when no admin is around. Sadly it has been ages since it could be accessed... R.I.P. best source for rating admin application.

Terrible application. You spent more time explaining why you want to be an admin rather than what you would actually do as an admin, which also devolved into you just saying "this community iz super kool". I do not in the slightest believe you to be a mature person capable of administrating the servers.
-support.
Again, I would like you to reconsider your statement since his application is done now. I am not saying that you should do a 180° turnaround. I only suggest that you take a second look and rethink what your opinion about his application is.

My conclusion: Your application and your responses are very organized, respectful and show a decent level of maturity. Your forum activity and your bans/comm blocks are debatable. I would be willing to give you a second chance. But this is not my final opinion. I would still change my mind if evidence were to come up that put you in a more negative spotlight.

Best of luck,
Malz

There is no standard, don't try to "follow the crowd" or "be a sheep" basically, only thing I want to tell you is to think for yourself, try to think of something better. Try to think about how to improve, how this community works. Basically, try to think about this "are these lenghts okay? Is there something wrong with them?" Instead of just doing what the others do.

Even if this gets denied (Which I already see a high probability of happening based on comments),
Don't think like that. I have seen you on serves sometimes. And have never had a problem with you, I hope you get accepted.

Forum activity/getting yourself known on the forums is very important for the new applicants.
Since we have 200~ servers, it's very difficult for most of us (the admins) get to know the applicants in-game,
I like to get a general idea on how is his behaviour on the forums, how does he interact with people, REPORTS, (which in this case, there are none) to make myself a general idea on how would his behaviour be in-game.
I'd like to have at least a minimum knowledge about the applicant.
I can't simply rate a mere application that could have been written by anyone just by taking a look on certain places of the forums.

~ Doesn't know admin commands. This was never a straight con to me, just a minor inconvenience that could be worked around in a few hours.
~ Lack of associated admins. This is neither a good nor bad thing, which is why it's neutral.

- Forum activity. It's unavoidable. You've less than 30 posts and have only been posting since this Monday.
- Some punishments are a bit excessive, such as a solid 3 day mute for first-time mic spamming when it's only 6 hours for a first-time chat spammer.


That's about it really, excluding the drug issue that you claim is regulated and only used twice in a year. Still some issues I'm not that good with, plus I don't really like handing out +supports unless I believe the applicant really, really deserves position as an admin.
Not a -support, but a neutral. Best of luck.

Edit: You were an admin on a friends Minecraft server because you two were in cahoots. Edited for that.

Hello Malz, and welcome to my admin application. I'd like to thank you for your unbiased opinion solely based on what I've written down, as well as the evidence laid out. The idea that you are wiling to give me a second chance means a lot to me, and I appreciate it greatly. Jailbreak IS a messy place and for someone who has "very, very limited experience on it" you understand its concept very well.

As always, thank you again for taking the time to reply to MY application and I hope you have a wonderful rest of the week.

Don't think like that. I have seen you on serves sometimes. And have never had a problem with you, I hope you get accepted.

Hello [.], I've seen you as well on the server, and if I see you again I'll be sure to exchange greetings. I should and could be more creative on the punishments, and what you say is just the stuff that I need to improve myself. Everyday for me is a different lesson that gives me more knowledge than the day before. For sure the punishments I've written down need some work. I'll try to become more 'standard-less' (lacking of a better word), I just felt that the punishments most of you admins use these days are 'the best ones'. But it is true that the rules we currently have need some work and I'll be more than happy to change them when the time arises. Also, most of the punishments I've written down are purely based on my experience with rule breakers as a donor, and even though they may feel "hard" or "too far", they are again, only from my experience with rule breakers.

Next, When I said,
Even if this gets denied (Which I already see a high probability of happening based on comments)
it was based on people who already thought I was a bad decision. But, I'm grateful there are people like you who are willing to give me a chance.

Overall, I'd like to give you a big warm thank you for being honest and taking time out of your day for replying to this application. I hope you have a wonderful day and rest of the week.

Hello Wanka, I've been looking forward to your changed reply after my application mistake. First of all, thank you for your honesty and for re commenting. Greeting's aside, I just wanted to reply and clarify on a few things you've said.

I feel like I should've given you the whole story and I'm sorry I had to waste so much of your time with the long paragraphs. In the future, I'll try to shorten my reasons as much as I can.
- Forum activity. It's unavoidable. You've less than 30 posts and have only been posting since this Monday.
You are absolutely right about this, and I should have put in more time on the forums before making the application. I can't complain. I'll try my hardest to post more often on the forums and discord altogether.
- Some punishments are a bit excessive, such as a solid 3 day mute for first-time mic spamming when it's only 6 hours for a first-time chat spammer.
I know that they seem "excessive", especially the mic spamming one, but most of these are from my experience with these rule breakers. Ever since I stopped mic spamming I don't take it lightly either. And I always thought chat spam wasn't as harsh as mic spam because mic spam has to do with the ears, especially when a Warden is trying to give orders. 3 days is good enough for the mic spammers to think about what they've done. I can tone it down but my decision still stands that they deserve a harsher punishment than chat spammers. Also, chat is MUCH MORE used than mic and some people who chat spam don't mean it. Unless they are spamming racist slurs or homophobic words, I think 3 hours (was 6) for first timers is a good enough time for them to think about there actions. I'll edit some times of the rules because this seems to be the most common negative most are talking about.
Edit: You were an admin on a friends Minecraft server because you two were in cahoots. Edited for that.
Not sure how you found out about that, but yes I was an admin/mod for 2 different Minecraft servers when I was younger, I think 2+ years ago. I didn't feel it applied to this application because I was definitely in cahoots, my friend needed help with his server and I agreed to help. Also, it was a while ago. But that is all the admin/mod experience I have, and I was also familiar with the commands after 2 days of learning.

Overall, Thank you so much for taking the time to edit your reply, and for your changed verdict, It means a lot to me. I hope you have a wonderful rest of the week. (Also it's hookah, not weed :D)

I've played with him before on NY JB. He's not bad, pretty fun guy not so much of a jerk. Though he has a bad record on him and I didn't like the additional info about him, made me a bit skeptical tbh. But after seeing he's replies I think he can behave and represent the staff team very well.

But pls, be a bit more active in Discord and the forums, but more on Discord since that's the best place to get help from admins.
