Considering he's been preemptively charged with admin abuse I'm going to have to drop a -1, sorry.

I like you.
This app is now on Reviewing.
Let's see:
This app is now on Reviewing.
Let's see:
- I go on skial and insult their servers and their administration team. What do you do?
- [U:1:12345] insults you repeatedly, every day. Today, he decides to threaten to hack and ddos you. What do you do?
- You are called in through steam chat to deal with a jailbreak freekill report. What do you do/say? How do you respond?
- You join the server and you see a guy getting votebanned for hacking. The entire server is whining about this in chat. The vote passes. What do you do?
1. I believe that every person has a right for their opinion. I'd try to approach the individual and ask for why he has a problem with the servers or the team. I guess your case goes for a more stubborn person, so if he will just be irrational I'd actually ignore him as he can freely leave the server if he feels he has a problem with anything. ; Also insulting is not a rulebreak unless it goes down to racism and equally bad ways to insult groups of people or their ethnicity. In that case I'd silence that individual. He can then appeal.
2. As mentioned in 1 as for the insults, I would try the diplomatic approach first and try to resolve misunderstandings, however if it goes as far as to threaten me I'd probably inform the administration team just in awareness of a potential danger from someone that threatened me and could go as far as to widen it to the whole skial servers. Honestly I wouldnt know how to react, because up to that point nothing really happened. It could be an empty threat, yet like mentioned before, I'd make notice of him to the other administrators or post it in the administration section if such a section exists. If he would hack and DDOS the server, the case is easily ended with a permban because I am totally sure this will not be tolerated here. In that case:
sm_ban "#[U:1:12345]" 0 "DDosing servers"
3. Well first of all I'd take the case serious and try to deal with it as soon as I take notice. I will be honest, I have no jailbreak experience, but I assume a "freekill" means somebody is killed illegally (i was told some background of jailbreak). So if that happened, that obviously is rulebreaking, i just checked that up. Now back to the question:
I am called through Steam, I'd ask for further explanation of what happened, ask for infos. Hopefully there were screenshots taken that back his accusations up, because I wasn't there and cannot judge over what happened. Another possibility could be to check the chat logs, probably other people that were there have been complaining aswell through chat about that freekill (however I guess that would be a hard effort, yet mentionable as a possible solution). If the person has taken screenshots I'd take a look at them and judge depending of what I see. It must CLEARLY be visible that this has been a freekill. I can not think of many scenarios of how a screenshot could back that up, yet like mentioned before, probably there are other people complaining about it in chat in those screenshots.
If the proof is unaccurate or non-solid, I'd tell him that I need better proof than that or that if he is unhappy with my decision, he can file a report on this forum for another opinion (idk if that's an option). I would ask him to make sure to screenshot the situation or record a demo next time it happens, if necessary explain how to record one too.
4. If the guy is getting votebanned it needs 90% of yes votes and the whole server is whining? What kind of people would that be? Schizophrenics? (Obviously taking humour in this one :) )
Back to your question, I'd kind of react like stated above this sentence, I'd say that these people as a whole unit/server have passed that vote by themselves when they pressed yes. The other 10% are just unlucky and I cannot just change that vote because of a minority that thinks different, there'll be a reason the majority wanted the person gone.
Or you mean that they are whining cause he hacked, not that he was voted off: In that case if enough people support on server that this person has been hacking, I could look up hlxstats, get his SteamID and then put the temp ban into a permanent one. Hackers do not need to be part of our community. Hopefully people will be happy about that and the whining rests and joy returns.

1. Correct.
2. We permanently ban any player who threatens to DDoS staff/servers.
3. I understand you don't have jailbreak experience. I actually know that. This was more a 'admin professionalism' kind of question. Remember that you can always tell them to file a forum report or forward them to another admin. You do not have to deal with something you are not well informed about. Beside that, just an extra tip, screenshots don't usually show much. Okay answer overall.
4. Yes, they are whining because he was hacking. The problem I see with your answer is that you you cannot perm ban someone without evidence (demos) or even without at least seeing them in the act. It is very common for hacking jokes to happen on a server, and voteabuse too. We require admins to record demos for each cheating infraction, which will be re-reviewed in case the user appeals. In this case you should leave the temp ban the way it is, since you don't know whether the banned person was really hacking or if the vote start abused.

Thanks for clearing that up, I didn't know admins would need to record demos for those infrictions. I guess it'll be easier later on if the user tries to appeal and the admins have solid evidence. Thanks.

In all serious, T-Wayne, if you ever need help with jailbreak feel free to ask me. I wrote those rules with help from the other admins familiar with JB when I was an admin.

Thanks for the support, but that hat wasn't mentioned because it doesnt make a difference to own it or not nor make me a better person than I already am ;) Cheers tho, cya on server hopefully.
Hey again.
You see a regular restricted porn spray on a server. What do you do?
Some common sense and professionalism questions:
1. You are on a server, one person votereports you (reason: crap admin). What do you do?
2. You are called in to deal with a hacker. Both you and the reporter have demos, but its not very obvious that said person is hacking. How do you proceed?

Hey TapTap!
Restricted Porn sprays can result in a ban. I'd say if I as the admin had the ability to remove it, i'd remove it after I removed the sprayer from the server after explaining him why he is going to be banned (his name is shown when looking at the spray). Depending on his/her previous bans I'd set the appropriate time.
Professionalism questions:
1. Despite the fact that his vote-report would fail if noone would support it, it is a bannable offense. Not because it is targeted at me, but forbidden by the rules. Abuse of the report-system is bannable. Crap Admin doesn't really sound like a good reason to me, so I would suggest him to post on the forum if he is not happy with me and remove him for the offense of abusing the reportsystem. Depending on his banhistory I'd set the appropriate time of course.
2. First of all if it is not obvious that said person is hacking, nothing I can do about it in terms of banning or removing him. I can probably watch the demo with viewmodels visible through walls in the replay (I saw it somewhere here on the forum - see)
I am not sure if that is possible but if it is, that's one way one could approach the situation. The other more likely approach for me would be to ask for the reporters demo, send it to me and compare both povs see if theres anything suspicious when you look at both of them. Then I'd ask for other admin opinions too, probably asking assistance on steam chat or admin forum if that section exists, could be possible that 20 eyes see more than 2. But if it is uncertain that he was hacking, there's no evidence that would support a bannable offense here. However what I would do is to copy his steam ID and mark it in my personal files. IF there comes another report of same Steam ID hacking then the case is almost clear. But for now I think I can just ask for other opinions but if uncertain do nothing about it. (PS: On my old clan server they had SMAC (SourceMod AntiCheat) installed which gave warnings to admins about people using hacks. I dont know if this is implemented on Skial servers but if it is, this would also be a good way to identify cheaters!)
EDIT: Also I can possibly check his Steam ID on other well known community ban systems and see if he was banned there. That's even another possibility! It doesnt necessarily mean he hacked then on our servers but its raising the alert systems.
Hopefully you will be fine with those answers. Cheers.
