Have you managed servers previously? Yes
Which servers have you previously managed?
AusCopter for Rust. This was a x1000 Rust server mostly made for gunplay and minicopter flying (hence the name). The server (whilst I was moderating it) could be found at https://www.battlemetrics.com/servers/rust/6601027 (But has now switched to a new server found at https://www.battlemetrics.com/servers/rust/14703273). I moderated this server around 2019/2020 (my memory is foggy) but during that time I helped set up the server discord and tebex (different tebex now) and dealt with ingame events and the occasional hacker. I'd say it helped me by learning to keep a level head (Rust is generally a toxic game) and I never lashed out or used any power to get revenge. Unfortunately the commands for Rust server moderation are different so I'd have to learn that again but I'm up for the challenge! Eventually I unfortunately had to step down due to increasing school pressure
On what servers do you usually play on, and which servers would you like to moderate?
AUS Jailbreak: 139.99.130.6:27100
US Jailbreak: 85.117.240.51:27005
AUS Bhop 139.99.130.6:27080
Why would you like to become a moderator?
I decided to apply for moderator because I'm really interested in these servers and really enjoy playing on them. I've seen the issues that rulebreakers can cause, especially late at nights (Australian time) or when they avoid donor votes. I think my past experience as well as time spent on the blw servers have really helped me to get an idea for the community and I like to think I gel well with a fair amount of the US JB pop. (I could be incorrectly assuming though I suppose) I frequently try and warn players when they're about to break rules (think illegal ff, invalid orders or denying lr) and I try to be fair when using the limited donor powers in order to help make the server experience run smoothly for everyone.
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

How often do you play TF2?
Usually at least 4 hours a day, this can be shorter when I have work on weekends and longer when I do not. School is finishing very soon (finals next week ) and after that's over I'll be able to consistently put in even more hours.
Please give us your ideal way of punishing players, specific to the servers you want to moderate
I believe that when punishing players intent is a very important thing, for example if somebody is targeting harassment against another user I believe this should be taken more seriously than somebody saying something once, despite this if a rule is broken a punishment should be given.
General Rules
Racism/Excess Toxicity, Spamming, Advertising (Excluding cheats), Low quality (Unusable) mic (Gag/Mute/Silence depending on text/voice/both): Warn->1 Hour->4 Hours->8 Hours->12 Hours->1 Day->3 Days->1 Week->2 Weeks->1 Month->Perm
Advertising Cheats: Permanent Gag
Cheating/Hacking: Record via demo and shadowplay/OBS then Perm Ban
Exploiting: Warn->2 Hour ban->8 Hour ban->1 Day ban->3 Day Ban->1 Week ban->2 Week Ban->1 Month ban->Perm Ban
!calladmin Abuse: Warn (May be skipped if they are doing it maliciously, may also warn again if they are doing it due to being unaware of the rules and different from previous warn)->6 Hour gag->4 Hour ban->12 Hour ban->1 Day ban->3 Day ban->1 Week ban->1 Month ban->Perm Ban
Griefing: Warning->Slay->1 Hour ban->4 Hour ban->8 Hour ban->1 Day ban->2 Day Ban->1 Week ban->2 Week Ban->1 Month ban->Perm ban
Punishment Evasion (through alts or exploits, intent matters, if it is a glitch on the server's part then simply warn before escalating):
- Avoiding a TBan through exploit: Warn->6 Hour ban->1 Day Ban->1 Week Ban->1 Month Ban->Perm ban
- Avoiding a mute through exploit: Warn->Kick->4 Hour Ban->8 Hour Ban->1 Day Ban->1 Week Ban-> 1 Month Ban->Perm ban
- Avoiding a ban with alts: Perm Ban (And punish main if not perm banned)
Inappropriate Spray/Sign: Permanent Sprayban
Staff Impersonation: Warn->6 Hour Mute->1 Day ban->3 Day Ban->1 Week Ban->2 Week Ban->1 Month ban->Perm ban
Staff Callouts (Important to note intent, if they are undercover and the callout is malicious then punishment is likely in order): Warn (Explain to them why it's an issue to callout staff)->4 Hour Mute/Gag->8 Hour Mute/Gag->4 Hour ban->12 Hour ban->1 Day Ban->3 Day Ban->1 Week Ban
Donor Rules
Abusing Votes (Jokingly/On self/For Advantage/Maliciously): This punishment depends on the intent. I am unaware if there is a way to temporarily revoke donor commands outside of a gag so I am using gag in place of that. Warn->1 Day Ban->3 Day Ban->Revoke Donor Status
Jailbreak Rules
Speaking over Admin/Warden: Warn->1 Hour Mute->4 Hour Mute->8 Hour Mute->12 Hour Mute->1 Day Mute->2 Day Mute
Armory Camping (Bans for reds, TBans for Blus): Warn->Slay->1 Hour->4 Hours->8 Hours->12 Hours->1 Day->3 Days->1 Week
Delaying (Multiple warnings may be necessary for players unaware on special LRs such as fighting on Warday, LGKA as Blu etc) Warn->Slay->1 Hour Ban->4 Hour Ban->8 Hour Ban->12 Hour Ban
Ghosting (Only gag as players are automatically muted on Jailbreak when they die): Warn->1 Hour Gag->4 Hour Gag->8 Hour Gag->12 Hour Gag->1 Day Gag
False Accusations (I think that anything more severe than a gag should only occur if you have warned them for this specific occurrence and they continue to make the accusation, apart from that I believe warning (or rather explaining why it wasn't a FK etc) is more useful and leads to more educated players): Warn->1 Hour Gag/Mute->4 Hour Gag/Mute->8 Hour Gag/Mute->12 Hour Gag/Mute
Sticky Trapping (Counts as delaying, Ban for Red, TBan for Blu): Warn->Slay->1 Hour->4 Hours->8 Hours->12 Hours->1 Day
Jailbreak (BLU Side) Rules
Unusable/No Mi Permanent TBan until demonstrated to a staff that they have a usable mic
Unwilling to warden (Killbinding everytime, !uw, asking for fire, forcing freeday) Warn->1 Hour TBan->4 Hour TBan->8 Hour TBan->12 Hour TBan->1 Day TBan->3 Day TBan->1 Week TBan->2 Week TBan->1 Month TBan->Perm TBan
Warden Impersonation: Warn->Slay->1 Hour Mute->4 Hour Mute->8 Hour Mute->12 Hour Mute->1 Day Mute
Freekilling (Depends on intent, if misclick and they slay then punishment can usually be avoided unless it is a repeated pattern): Slay->1 Hour TBan->4 Hour TBan->8 Hour TBan->12 Hour TBan->1 Day TBan->3 Day TBan->1 Week TBan->2 Week TBan->1 Month TBan->Perm TBan
Freehitting (Depends on intent, if unintended then punishment can usually be avoided unless it is a repeated pattern): Warn->Slay->1 Hour TBan->2 Hour TBan->4 Hour TBan->6 Hour TBan->12 Hour TBan->1 Day TBan
Force Baiting (Punishable under Freekill ladder if they kill the Red)
Camping rebel areas/rebel area entrances: Warn->Slay->1 Hour TBan->2 Hour TBan->4 Hour TBan->6 Hour TBan->12 Hour TBan->1 Day TBan
Disguising (Not sure if this is even possible anymore): Warn->Slay
Hunting/Chasing without express permission from warden (Punishable under Freekill ladder if they kill the Red, a verbal warning before they kill to go back to warden if possible)
MFK (If I recall defined as 3 or more reds freekilled? If a BLU realistically misclicked or misjudged a rocket then leniancy may be given down to a 12 Hour/1 Day TBan): 1 Week TBan->2 Week TBan->1 Month TBan->Perm TBan
Teamkilling (apart from FFA LRs): Slay->1 Hour TBan->4 Hour TBan->8 Hour TBan->12 Hour TBan->1 Day TBan->1 Week TBan->1 Month TBan->Perm TBan
Illegal FF (Turn FF off and respawn if needed. Includes ff for no reason, meatgrinder/arena as first minigame and cell wars with 5 or more BLUs): Slay->1 Hour TBan->2 Hour TBan->4 Hour TBan->8 Hour TBan->12 Hour TBan->1 Day TBan->1 Week TBan->2 Week TBan
Favoritism/Pardoning Reds: Warn->Slay->1 Hour TBan->2 Hour TBan->4 Hour TBan->6 Hour TBan->12 Hour TBan->1 Day TBan->2 Day TBan
Chaining Days/Minigames: Warn->Slay->1 Hour TBan->2 Hour TBan->4 Hour TBan->6 Hour TBan->12 Hour TBan
LR Denial: Warn->Slay->1 Hour TBan->2 Hour TBan->4 Hour TBan->6 Hour TBan->12 Hour TBan->1 Day TBan
Camping Warden (Repeatedly forcing warden longer than 3 rounds): Warn->Slay->1 Hour TBan->2 Hour TBan->4 Hour TBan->6 Hour TBan
Kill Orders: (Punishable under FK/MFK if any BLU follows the order)
Please let me know if I forgot anything!
Is there any other information you would like us to know about?
I'd like to thank anybody who took their time to read/skim this (staff or otherwise) and thank you for your consideration. I will say that whilst I'd love to have this position, if it gets denied I'll take it in stride, I'll continue to happily play on the servers, interact with members/staff and use the donor powers legitimately where necessary. I've been playing games since I think age 6 or 7 (PvZ on my father's phone) and coding since 9. I'm now going into a Computer Science degree next year and in the past have coded Rust Server Plugins, games, apps and more!
