Have you managed servers previously? No
On what servers do you usually play on, and which servers would you like to moderate?
TFDB Advanced and TFDB Easy
Why would you like to become a moderator?
I would like to become a moderator because I am especially passionate about the small dodgeball community I frequently play with. It also seems that during the majority of my sessions playing dodgeball, that no mod or admin is present and a few bad actors can arise. I have also been a BlackWonder player since 2016 and some people mistake me for an admin. Overall, I would like to do my part to contribute to the health of BLW dodgeball servers.
Do you know or have spoken to any of the current staff members? No
How often do you play TF2?
I play TF2 almost every single day.
Please give us your ideal way of punishing players, specific to the servers you want to moderate
General Conflicts and Ideal Punishments
Cheating: With sufficient evidence (clips, spectating, or all-out blatancy), would deserve a non-negotiable permanent ban.
Mic or Chat Spam/Abusive Chat/Excessive Toxicity: Depends on the severity and duration of the individual(s) teasing and/or abuse. If the banter continues to harass a certain party even after being asked to stop, then the ideal form of punishment would be to issue a 10 minute mute and/or gag. If the individual continues to harass excessively even after the initial 10 minute mute expires, the punishment will progress as follows: 30 minute gag/mute -> 1 hour gag/mute -> 5 hour gag/mute -> 1 day ban -> 3 day ban -> permanent ban.
Donator Roll Abuse: If an individual is to abuse any donator commands (i.e. !voteslay, !votekick, !votegag, !votemute) then the punishment would go as follows: Initial warning -> 2nd warning -> 1 hour ban -> 3 hour ban -> 6 hour ban -> 12 hour ban -> 1 day ban -> permanent ban.
Admin Contact Abuse: Abusing the !calladmin command continuously would result in the following punishments if the individual is to continue misusing the !calladmin command: Warning -> 2nd warning -> 1 hour ban -> 3 hour ban -> 6 hour ban -> 1 day ban -> permanent ban
Spray Abuse: If a user is using an NSFW or otherwise hateful/inappropriate spray punishment would include: Immediate Spray ban.
Evading Punishment: Creating an alternate account to circumvent a banned account or any other method of evading punishment would result in the following punishments: 3 hour ban/mute/gag -> 6 hour ban/mute/gag -> 12 hour ban/mute/gag -> 1 day ban/mute/gag -> 3 day ban/mute/gag -> 6 day ban/mute/gag -> permanent ban/mute/gag
Dodgeball Specific Conflicts and Punishments
Rocket Stealing: When a user reflects a rocket that was not intended for them. American servers do not enforce any punishment for stealing, and thus, will not be punished. However, EU servers rules do not tolerate stealing, but regardless, this offense is not too horrible. Therefore the punishment would go as follows (only for EU): Warning -> 2nd Warning -> Smite -> Kick -> 1 hour ban -> 6 hour ban -> 12 hour ban.
Blocking a.k.a “Fatting or Saving”: When a player is within enough proximity of another player to cause a friendly rocket to explode prematurely. Punishment would include: Warning -> Smite -> Kick -> 1 hour ban -> 3 hour ban -> 1 day ban -> 1 week ban.
Instakill Direct a.k.a “Insta”: When a player is close enough to another player to reflect the reflected rocket back into the player while their airblast is on cooldown. Punishment would go as follows: Warning -> Smite -> Kick -> 12 hour ban -> 1 day ban -> 1 week ban -> permanent ban.
Delaying the Round/Rocket: When a player continuously orbits or abuses map geometry to cause the rocket to delay the round indefinitely (please note that orbiting the rocket results in a gradual speed up so that players cannot delay, meaning that orbiting isn’t an issue.) An example of delaying the round using map geometry would be on tfdb_beanedevil where players can reflect a rocket into the catwalk and cause the rocket to infinitely stay stuck within the rafter. However, this particular instance can be avoided if the player on the catwalk jumps down. Regardless, if the round is delayed by a bugged rocket, then the person who caused the delayed rocket will be punished as follows: Warning -> Smite -> Kick -> 1 hour ban -> 6 hour ban -> 12 hour ban -> 3 day ban.
Overall: I would prefer not to ban people unless there is an extremely good reason to (except cheating or excessive toxicity) All my punishments listed above are what I would enforce without fail.
Is there any other information you would like us to know about?
In the box asking if I know or have spoken to any current staff members, I selected 'no' because my interaction with staff has been minimal. I have spoken to ckr about submitting a staff request, but his response was only, "If you want to" ..I believe that does not warrant a Yes due to it being a very small interaction.
I have been playing Tf2 for almost 9 years now, and BlackWonder servers specifically for over 6 years now. I've really enjoyed my time on BLW servers and have always wanted to be a staff member, I especially enjoy the chill atmosphere and would like to maintain the friendly BlackWonder servers that I have grown up playing on.
