Have you managed servers previously? No

On what servers do you usually play on and which one would you like to moderate?
I frequently play on an Australian Jailbreak Server (IP: 139.99.130.6:27015) and an Australian 2fort Server (IP:139.99.130.6:270101) i would like to mainly moderate the 2Fort Server but i also want to moderate the Jailbreak Server aswell.

Why would you like to become a moderator?
I've played on these servers a lot and think that they could certainly use another moderator to deter toxic players and rule breakers alike looking to ruin the fun for everyone.

I want to help this community and these servers grow and contribute as much as i can and i think that becoming a moderator could be a big step to make this place a more welcoming place for everyone alike.

Do you know and have spoken to any of the current staff members? Yes, Snowace.

How often do you play TF2?
3pm - 8pm on Weekdays and 1pm - 6pm on Weekends, ACST time (these aren't schedules these are just my most active times, i may be on outside of these hours and may be off inside off these hours, this is just a general idea of when i'm on)

Please give us your ideal way of punishing players, specific to the server you want to moderate
(please note that i used Cyruims application for reference when making this in certain areas, although i tried not to directly copy it you will probably find similarities, this is also a rather long section as i wanted to cover as many rules as possible, if i need to remove / changhe any sections because they are unnecessary or to harsh / forgiving let me know and ill change my application)

i went over a lot of rules in this punishment section and i may have missed or glossed over some things, overall if theres any changes that should be made let me know and ill modify the app accordingly

i didn't talk about respawns in the punishments because i didn't want to break my hand or make it to tedious than it is already to read, but its safe to say that ill respawn any unfairly killed reds.

Is there any other information you would like us to know about?
I'm not perfect, i can overlook or forget rules sometimes when just playing normally but i do try my best, i have studied the rules lots and i genuinely think that i would make a good addition as a moderator, even if i can't help people i'm still happy chatting with them.

Overall moderator or not i want to contribute to this community and the sub communities in it alike to help make it a better place for everyone.

Also a while ago i did a lot of salty stuff on an a different name (same account though) so my chat log isn't any means squeaky clean but I've tried my best in recent time to be less salty, just keep in my my chat logs aren't the best the further you go.

Are you proficient in languages other than English? No

 

[Sophisticated Scout]

overtime i have edited this application to include more information and be more precise

current changes include

1. Naming the time zone i live in
2. briefly going over my extremely salty backstory.
3. added disguising punishment and fixed a few mistakes for jailbreak
4. Change Spray punishment to a Sprayban
5. Removed "Don't be a Smartass" from punishment list
6. changed the accidental section of call admin abuse to ban instead of gag
7. added punishments for a blu member without a microphone on jailbreak
8. added red team punishments of stickytrapping and amoury camping for jailbreak
9. separated punishments based on teams / roles for jailbreak rules
10. changed any ban / teamban punishment longer than a month to be permanent
11. added punishment for latespawning
12. extended any punishment longer then a month to permanent
13. changed inappropriate spray to a immediate perma spray ban
14. changed hack adverts to immediate perma mute
15. changed perma mute on mod impersonation to perma ban
16. removed bans from calling out undercover mods and added appropriate mute punishements
17. changed mass free killing to start at 1 week and proceed normally.
18. removed warning + mic check from no mic on Blu (doesn't necessarily mean i won't do mic checks just means i immediately teamban them if they don't have a mic)
19. removed disguising from the punishment ladder
20. added Snowace to known mods (with his permission, he's a legend.)

this app is still in a pending state and so expect changes later on in the future aswell.
i'm back from my trip so ill be able to make detailed edits now.

thanks to everyone who's provided feedback and support to this application, its nice to see people giving me a chance.

have a good one.

Greetings.. just a quick review..

Mod Impersonation
Warning + Kick > 1hr Ban > 6hr Ban > 1 Day ban > 1 Week Ban > 1 Month Ban > 6 Month Ban > 1yr Ban > Permanent Ban (until appealed)

Calling Out Undercover Mod
1hr Mute > 1hr Ban > 6hr Ban > 1 Day ban > 1 Week Ban > 1 Month Ban > 1yr Ban > Permanent Ban

You don't need to ban players because of this two rules. you can mute/gag the players.

Don't be a smartass / No False Accusastions
Warning > 30min Gag >1hr Gag > 6hr Gag > 1 Day Gag > 1 Week Gag > 1 Month Gag > 6 Month Gag > 1yr Gag > Permanent Gag (until appeal)

Don't be a smartass just makes the red KOS, we don't punish players because of that.

Armoury Camping
Warning > Slay >30 min Teamban > 1hr Teamban > 6hr Teamban > 1 Day Teamban > 1 Week Teamban > 1 Month Teamban > 6 Month Teamban > 1yr Teamban > Permanent Teamban (until appeal)

And what would you do if a red camp armory?

Freekilling / Stickytraping / Killing Non-Rebeling Freedays at end of Round
Slay > 30min Teamban > 1hr Teamban > 6hr Teamban > 1 Day Teamban > 1 Week Teamban > 1 Month Teamban > 6 Month Teamban > 1yr Teamban > Permanent Teamban (until appeal)

And what if a red do a stickytrap?

Inappropriate Spray / Objector
Kick > 1hr Ban > 6hr Ban > 1 Day Ban > 1 Week Ban > 1 Month Ban > 1yr Ban > Permanent Ban (until appeal)

You can just sprayban the players in question.

Call Admin Abuse
Assess the Situation and do one of two things

Accidental: Warning > 30min Gag (anything after this isn't accidental anymore and labeled under On Purpose)

The player still able to use any commands even gagged.

And about a blue without a microfone, what would you do?


Punishments

Just one donor tban.

Spoiler: Tban

And no comms.

Spoiler: Comms

Spoiler: Session

Wish you luck in your application

 

[Sophisticated Scout]

thanks for the feedback, I've changed my punishment list accordingly.
however i do have a thing to note

And what would you do if a red camp armory?

And what if a read do a stickytrap?

i've added red versions of these punishments but they are lacking in content and are just Warning > Slay > Kick

is this enough of a punishment or should it be changed?

regardless thank you for the feedback, its improved my application a lot.

 

[Jotape]

Hello it's me again.

i've added red versions of these punishments but they are lacking in content and are just Warning > Slay > Kick

is this enough of a punishment or should it be changed?

You can do better then this.

On BLU without Microphone
Mic Check + Warning > 30min Teamban > 1hr Teamban > 6hr Teamban > 1 Day Teamban > 1 Week Teamban > 1 Month Teamban > 6 Month Teamban > 1yr Teamban > Permanent Teamban (until appeal)

And we do a perm teamban until the player gets a mic.

 

[Sophisticated Scout]

Hey again, thanks for the feedback

You can do better then this.

i've extended these punishments accordingly, thanks for letting me know.

And we do a perm teamban until the player gets a mic.

i've changed the punishment to instantly teamban if they show they don't have a mic.

thanks for the continuous feedback, it means a ton.

Your ladders could use a little touching up. Firstly, 6 month and 1 year punishments aren't really necessary, a perm can be administered after a 1 month punishment.

Inappropriate Spray / Objector
Kick > 1hr Sprayban > 6hr Sprayban > 1 Day Sprayban > 1 Week Sprayban > 1 Month Sprayban > Permanent Sprayban (until appeal)

This is an immediate perma sprayban, a ladder isn't necessary here.

Advertisement of Hacks
Kick + 1hr Gag > 6hr Gag > 1 Day Gag > 1 Week Gag > 1 Month Gag > Permanent Gag (until appeal)

Same here, you can go ahead and perma silence anyone who breaks this rule.

Mod Impersonation
Warning + Kick > 1hr Mute > 6hr Mute > 1 Day Mute > 1 Week Mute > 1 Month Mute > 6 Month Mute > 1yr Mute > Permanent Mute (until appealed)

It is acceptable to ban for this.

Calling Out Undercover Mod
1hr Mute > 6hr Mute > 1 Day Mute > 1 Week Ban > 1 Month Ban > 1yr Ban > Permanent Ban

This is just a silence. No need to ban on later steps.

Disguising
Warning > Slay > Kick > 30 Min Ban > 1hr Ban > 6hr Ban > 1 Day Ban > 1 Week Ban > 1 Month Ban > Permanent Ban (until appeal)

Reds may disguise if they wish. Blues may not, but we have a plugin in place to prevent blue disguises anyway.

Mass Freekilling
1hr Teamban > 6hr Teamban > 1 Day Teamban > 1 Week Teamban > 1 Month Teamban > 1yr Teamban > Permanent Teamban (until appeal)

This starts at a 1 week teamban and proceeds normally from there.

On BLU without Microphone
Mic Check + Warning > Permanent Teamban (until player gets a mic and appeals)

No need to warn for this, a microphone is required to be on blue team.

I've extended the punishements properly. thanks.

I've changed these to instant punishments.

It is acceptable to ban for this.

I've changed the final punishment to a permanent ban, thanks

This is just a silence. No need to ban on later steps.

I've removed the bans and changed them to mutes.

Reds may disguise if they wish. Blues may not, but we have a plugin in place to prevent blue disguises anyway.

I've removed the disguise punishment for this one

This starts at a 1 week teamban and proceeds normally from there.

I've removed earlier punishments on this ladder, thanks.

No need to warn for this, a microphone is required to be on blue team.

I've removed the warning and mic check, thanks.

Thanks for all the feedback it helped a ton.
