On what servers do you usually play on, and which servers would you like to moderate?

177.54.157.73:27060

Jailbreak
85.117.240.51:27005

Why would you like to become a moderator?

5 months after I abandoned my application, I still encounter trouble in your servers; Namely, I still encounter deliberate exploiters, delayers and/or griefers on SZF, and I forget to record demos. On Jailbreak, there are a plethora of obnoxious micspammers and reds, the occasional mass-freekiller, and guards from other servers that don't understand the rules.
So, yes, that is why I still want to be moderator, mostly the same reasons. I believe I am somewhat fit to be a moderator.

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
I will wait for a moderator to give me permission to add their name.

How often do you play TF2?
I still play it often, though not as often as during summer, and especially not as often on Blackwonder.

Please give us your ideal way of punishing players, specific to the servers you want to moderate
Racism/Sexism/Homophobia/Violent Extremism - No warning. [2 Hour Gag/Mute -> 3 Hour Gag/Mute -> 6 Hour Gag/Mute -> 12 Hour Gag/Mute -> 1 Day Gag/Mute -> 1 Week Gag/Mute -> 2 Week Gag/Mute -> Permanent Gag/Mute.]
(Note: It ranges from just typing out a "lesser" slur in chat, in which: I'll give out a warn. N-slur/F-slur though, I'll give out a 6 hour gag immediately. Seriously violent extremism will warrant an immediate permanent gag. I support free speech, but this is a private server and they have to respect that this kind of content is not tolerated here.)

Toxic/Disrespecting staff or players - [Warning 1 -> 2 Hour Gag/Mute -> 4 Hour Gag -> 8 Hour Gag/Mute - 12 Hour Gag/Mute -> 1 Day Gag/Mute -> 4 Day Gag/Mute -> 1 Week Gag/Mute -> 1 Month Gag/Mute -> Permanent Gag/Mute]


Micspam (Playing loud music, bad mic, speaking foreign language in VC, Obnoxious sounds, Overtalking warden) - [Warning 1 -> 3 Hour Mute -> 6 Hour Mute -> 12 Hour mute -> 1 Day mute -> 4 Day Mute -> 1 Week Mute -> 2 Week Mute -> 1 Month Mute - Permanent Ban.]
(Note: I'll probably be too lenient on this one, and I won't be as harsh as other staff members. I just want players to have fun with the server, and it is just that annoying sounds, earrape and uneccessary music that lags the server and causes uneccessary noise are not fun, but a short audioclip of something, a meme audioclip or 2 minutes of music, if they are completely innocuous and inconspicuous, wouldn't hurt the server. I think micspam can be funny, but there's a certain line you shouldn't cross in my eyes.)

Chatspam (Advertising, begging, bind spam) - [Same as Micspam but gag instead.]

Cheating - No warning. [Record demo, ensure they're cheating with additonal confirmation from staff, then permanently ban with no appeal. I universally use demos anyway.]

Staff Impersonation - No warning. [2 Hour Gag/Mute -> 4 Hour Gag/Gute -> 8 Hour Gag/Mute -> 12 Hour Gag/Mute -> 1 Day Gag/Mute -> 4 Day Gag/Mute -> 1 Week Gag/Mute -> 1 Month Gag/Mute -> Permanent Gag/Mute.]

Calling out undercover staff - No warning. [3 Hour Gag/Mute - 6 Hour Gag/Mute - 12 Hour Gag/Mute - 1 Day Gag/Mute - 3 Day Gag/Mute - 1 Week Gag/Mute - 2 Week Gag/Mute - Permanent Gag/Mute.]

Advertising Cheats - No warning. [Permanent silence]

Innapropriate spray - [Permanent sprayban until appeal]

Punishment evasion - No warning. [1 Week Ban - 2 Week Ban - Permanent Ban, it depends on the severity of what they're evading, so a 1 hour - 2 hour gag only warrants a day long ban.]
(Note: If it is a situation is akin to, for example: to avoid a long (1w+) or permanent punishment like cheating, or they have a long history of using alts before, then they're permanently banned immediately. This ladder can be subject to change.)

Donor Vote Dodge - No warning. [1 Day Ban - 1 Week Ban - 2 Week Ban - 1 Month Ban - Permanent Ban.]
(Note: Does not count if the donor was abusing his perms. Demo will be recorded to give a full context of the situation just in case.)

General exploiting - [Warning 1 + Slay/Smite -> 3 Hour Ban - 12 Hour Ban - 1 Day Ban - 4 Day Ban - 1 Week Ban - 2 Week Ban - Permanent Ban.]
(Note: If they're the first to discover/they're trying to find exploits, not abuse them, I won't ban them.)

Donor Abuse - [Warning 1 -> 5 Hour Ban -> 12 Hour Ban -> 1 Day Ban -> 4 Day Ban -> 1 Week Ban -> 1 Month Ban -> Permanent Ban.]

Calladmin Abuse/Spam - No Warning. [6 Hour Ban -> 12 Hour Ban -> 1 Day Ban -> 1 Week Ban -> 1 Month Ban -> Permanent Ban.]

[100% Crits/Deathmatch General]

Spawncamping Excessively - [Warning 1 -> Warning 2 + Kick -> 2 Hour Ban -> 4 Hour Ban -> 8 Hour Ban -> 12 Hour Ban -> 1 Day Ban -> 3 Day Ban -> 1 Week Ban -> 1 Month Ban -> Permanent Ban]

{Super Zombie Fortress}

Abusing exploits (Uber Tank, Guns as zombie, etc.) - [Warning 1 + Slay/Smite -> 3 Hour Ban -> 12 Hour Ban -> 1 Day Ban -> 4 Day Ban -> 1 Week Ban -> 2 Week Ban -> Permanent Ban.]
(Note: I will simply suggest a player restart or log off then log back in if they simply encountered a glitch, not abuse it. Otherwise, if that doesn't work, then slay or smite, if they don't killbind already.)

Delaying/Stalling the match - [Verbal Warning + Warning 1 -> Warning 2 + Kick => 3 Hour Ban -> 6 Hour Ban -> 12 Hour Ban -> 1 day Ban -> 4 Day Ban -> 1 Week Ban -> 1 Month Ban -> Permanent Ban.]

Deliberately helping the opposing team - [Verbal Warning - Warning 2 + Kick -> 2 Hour Ban -> 4 Hour Ban -> 8 Hour Ban-> 12 Hour Ban -> 1 Day Ban -> 3 Day Ban -> 1 Week Ban -> 2 Week Ban -> 1 Month Ban -> Permanent Ban]


[Jailbreak]
Mass Freekilling - No Warning. [2 Week Guardban -> Permanent Guardban.]

Mass Freekilling (Accidental) - No Warning. [12 Hour Guardban -> 1 Day Guardban -> 4 Day Guardban -> 1 Week Guardban -> 1 Month Guardban -> Permanent Guardban.]

Freekilling - [Warning 1 + Slay/Smite + Warning + Kick -> 2 Hour Guardban > 3 Hour Guardban -> 6 Hour Guardban -> 12 Hour Guardban -> 1 Day Guardban -> 3 Day Guardban -> 1 Week Guardban -> 1 Month Guardban -> Permanent Guardban.]

Illegal Friendly Fire - [Warning 1 -> Slay/Smite -> Warning 2 -> Kick -> 2 Hour Guardban -> 4 Hour Guardban -> 8 Hour Guardban -> 1 Day Guardban -> 3 Day Guardban -> 1 Week Guardban -> 1 Month Guardban -> Permanent Guardban.]

Forced Freeday (Hitting buttons before giving orders as guard) - No Warning. [6 Hour Guardban -> 12 Hour Guardban -> 1 Day Guardban -> 1 Week Guardban -> 1 Month Guardban -> Permanent Guardban.]

Illegal Freeday (Any other instance) and other Illegal Minigames - [Warning 1 + Kick -> 3 Hour Guardban -> 6 Hour Guardban -> 12 Hour Guardban -> 1 Day Guardban -> 3 Day Guardban -> 1 Week Guardban -> 1 Month Guardban -> Permanent Guardban.]

All other major Jailbreak offenses which includes:
Button Griefing (other than cell doors), Using minigames to teamkill, Kill Orders, Trick Orders - No Warning. [4 Hour Guardban -> 8 Hour Guardban -> 12 Hour Guardban -> 1 Day Guardban -> 4 Day Guardban -> 1 Week Guardban -> 1 Month Guardban -> Permanent Guardban.]

No Mic As Warden - [Permanent Guardban]

Ghosting - [Warning 1 -> Warning 2 + Kick -> 1 Hour Gag/Mute -> 3 Hour Gag/Mute -> 6 Hour Gag/Mute -> 12 Hour Gag/Mute > 1 Day Gag/Mute -> 3 Day Gag/Mute - > 1 Week Gag/Mute -> 1 Month Gag/Mute-> Permanent Gag]

All other minor Jailbreak offenses, which includes:
Camping in Armory and Rebel Spots, Delaying (Includes Sticky-trapping), Favoritism (Including pardoning), Baiting, Unwilling Warden, Lying as Warden or Impersonating Warden - [Warning 1 + Slay/Smite -> Warning 2 + Kick -> 2 Hour Guardban -> 4 Hour Guardban -> 8 Hour Guardban -> 12 Hour Guardban -> 1 Day Guardban -> 3 Day Guardban -> 1 Week Guardban -> 2 Week Guardban -> 1 Month Guardban -> Permanent Guardban]

Is there any other information you would like us to know about?
Alright, this is my third moderator application for Blackwonder, although I probably should have waited for my verdict and kept the moderator application until later. The reason I abandoned the last application was because I realized my behavior was worsening; I was insulting other players and raging at the game at the time. Thankfully, my behavior is under control right now.

Another thing, I had a falling out with the Zombie Survival community, so I didn't bother thinking of moderating the server anymore. I will not further in detail, since I do not want to cause further drama, and because it would be unprofessional.

I still have a desire to become a moderator in this community, even if I have decided to play TF2 less, and focus more on school and other games. I may be more interested in other servers (Such as Panda) and other games, but Blackwonder still holds a special place in my heart, after all this time. Blackwonder was one of the first TF2 community servers I ever frequented, one of the reasons why I still play TF2, and a source of many memorable moments in my life to cherish.

Anyways, considering that much of what I have to say about my moderator application was already said last application, I do not need to explain much more, since it would be superfluous. Here is my other application for reference, most of what is said in that still applies to this application: https://blackwonder.tf/threads/whip-gamings-moderator-application.37366/

I still believe I am mature enough to be fit for moderator in an online community, even with my history. I have extensive knowledge of the rules, recognize several unwritten rules, and I consider myself well-versed in the community and able to manage myself in Blackwonder very well.

Hi, just gonna go over your application real quick

First application
Second application

1734025129164.png

Playtime is sufficient and the sessions are much more active now

No new commblocks since last application
One official teamban + two warnings since last application

Chatlogs are still not great. These logs are mostly from after you requested your last application be declined. It's good that you recognized that there was an issue with your behavior but it doesn't make sense to me why you still talk to people this way.

This is kind of concerning

How often do you play TF2?
I still play it often, though not as often, and especially not as often on Blackwonder.
This too

Mass Freekilling - No Warning. [Permanent Guardban.]
We don't start with perma here. Usually 10080

I don't really remember what you were like in-game but I recall having to come in and shut down your conversations in Discord. You have made some strongly political opinions in a manner that invites arguments. It's fine to hold beliefs but there is a small cause for concern when you come across in a way that sounds like you're looking for a fight.

Also wanted to ask for context about this. I'm sure you can guess why it was deleted

To elaborate on the other concerns above, I want to remind you that being a mod doesn't take away the necessity for proof when punishing. We still encourage having a way to record rulebreakers regardless if you're the reporter or the moderator.

If you're noticing a decline in your own activity or interest in our servers, it doesn't sound like the best time to be applying. What good does it do for your application to mention that you're more interested in Panda? The honesty is appreciated but if your interests lie elsewhere, then it doesn't give us a good reason to consider having you join the team. We also don't want this application to be the result of a last ditch effort to stay active within the community; that should already be present before applying.

I hope you keep this feedback in mind and take the time to reconsider whether this is truly something you want, and if you're willing to put in the effort to show us that. As always you're welcome to edit your application and reach out to us if you have any questions

Hello Whip,

Thank you for your interest in becoming a moderator for Blackwonder. We’ve decided not to proceed with your application due to a lack of activity within the past 2 weeks on our servers, as well as your recent prior punishments that raised concerns about meeting our standards for moderation. Keep in goal is to improve our servers. Not just maintain a status quo.
