Have you managed servers previously? No
On what servers do you usually play on, and which servers would you like to moderate?
I play the JB servers, specifically 85.117.240.51:27005, and would like to moderate there.
Why would you like to become a moderator?
While I can't speak for servers outside of the main jb server I play, I've noticed a lack of moderators online at the points that I do play on the server, with rare exceptions. The only times where I'm usually seeing a mod online is when they type 1 or 2 messages and then stay silent for so long that I think that they've left, or they come in to handle someone breaking the rules, at which point they blip out of existence, if they even came in the first place.
Furthermore, I've noticed a general lack of knowledge and understanding from the moderators that do show up, leading to people getting banned that shouldn't be and vice versa. An example would include how rules regarding differences in the orders that wardens can and can't give.
Afk rules, at least since late 2022, have had two specific distinctions: Afk, where you can't move, but can look and taunt unless otherwise specified, and Afk freeze, where any inputs aren't allowed. The distinction between these two forms of AFK seem to be not well understood by those that both act as warden and the moderators that are supposed to understand those rules. Recently, without any proper change in blackwonder's rules, it seems to be that players are regarding afk to imply no looking or taunting, when that never was the case. (I have been informed that this distinction is incorrect. While I do not have many other examples I can recall off of the top of my head, I have seen other times where situations similar to this have occurred).
Furthermore, the members of the server generally don't seem to understand what is and is not implied through orders. The best example I could recall from recent knowledge was the lack of action on a warden who seemed to believe that placing down a marker implied to follow it, when it does not.
Do you know or have spoken to any of the current staff members? Yes

How often do you play TF2?
~once a day, for about 3 hours
Please give us your ideal way of punishing players, specific to the servers you want to moderate
for blus, it varies depending on the reason, but I have a 3-strike rule philosophy for a generic offense.
Freekills are worthy of a slay on blus, repeated freekills are teambans. Length depends on severity, anywhere between 8 hours to a day.
Massfreekills are automatic teambans. Length depends, same as repeated freekills, but repeated mfk will result in further lengths of time for the ban.
Micspam is mute worthy, slurs and other repeated hostile language is gag-worthy.
A lack of knowledge on the rules that a blu needs to follow is worthy of a warn, repeated lack of understanding is teamban worthy depending on the severity of the infractions.
Lack of microphone is also teamban worthy, due to the fact that it is practically one of the only requirements to be able to be on blu.
Cheating is an automatic permaban. Same with ddosing and other forms of server attacks.
