Improve Admin App: courtsnort♩♪♫♬

[White Moose]

-1 an admin should be an authority figure of guidance
all court has been is a toxic jerk that has a terrible character
and to those who say shes just "trolling"
her character has never been anything but toxic and thats all she is known for. people on the servers would see her as the most toxic admin
i highly doubt any benefits of her becoming an admin
i can only judge based on what i see of her character and it is garbage

 

[RMSniper]

Sorry girlie, but -1. I believe you turn your different personalities (from nice, to troll, to rude, to you name it) on so often that it would be impossible to know which Courtney would be admining the servers on any given day. Otherwise, I like you as a person; you’re just too unpredictable in my opinion. But you never know. My opinion is only one of many.

All you had to do was actually read responses here and see how invalid that statement is

 

[ToTeM]

i mean court is a asshole that'll berate your ass to hell and back but i know she'll follow the rules and enforce em well so i don't really see the problem with her being an admin

 

[Ed_]

as the catalytic decision for who gets mod, i say +1

 

[staticvoid]

+1

(only if she sends nudes)

As i said youre a terrible person, i get it that the dumb feature is there as a reaction but your dumb rating clearly shows that you didnt put effort into a rebuttal
and your reply isnt substantial nor credible enough to convince me years worth of your trolling can be overturned in a few posts

If given this opportunity, I will definitely spend a lot less time posting in the aforementioned areas where most problems occur, and spend most time solely responding to reports and general conversations.

and general idea that youve highlighted in the end of your application is
court says "if i become admin ill stop trolling and be a nice person."

life doesnt work that way you dont get privileges,jobs,statuses before you earn it

you gotta work for it

let me make it clear af

you should never be admin

What are you on about lmao

I told you to read the posts in this thread, as they invalidate your lazy claim. How is that me being “too lazy to form a rebuttal” when I formed a perfect rebuttal

 

[Reedgreat]

This app is already at 4 pages, going on 5 after one day. That is usually a very good sign for the applicant, or a very bad sign. I just can't tell which one it is yet...

I think you should easy up the dumb ratings

I'm pretty sure half of it is filled with arguments.

Intelligent yes, but also manipulative to achieve your own ends. You are someone who tries to elevate their standing within a community by being a cunt to, and putting down others.
Some think you're a troll, I think you're just a bully. These are traits that someone in a position of trust or authority should not possess.
Saying you're going to be a good girl if you get accepted just reinforces my viewpoint.

Agreed with the bully part. I know she and others will say unmodded doesn't count and all of that, but I truly felt bullied by her many times. And the impression, the consequences of her words, that isn't limited by modded or unmodded.
When she called me autistic repeated times, told me to kill myself, called me retard, etc etc. (and I wasn't the only one)

Yeah, she has clean records and all of that, except that one time she called me retard where she shouldn't and she got restricted on Discord. oops! On a goddamn pacific discussion of Android vs iOS.
She just gets out of control, literally, and prefers to bully to show her "power". Just go on the "shitposting" channel on Discord and search for the word "autistic" or something like that from her. It's ridiculous.
Then again, unmod doesn't count. Because every other admin says as much crap and bullies others as she does in "shitposting". Except... not really. I've never seen anyone on Discord, TF2, any other goddamn game be as bully as she was with me or others.

Heck, if I killed myself because of everything she said to me and the police went to talk to her, she'd say "it happened in shitposting!" and nothing would matter.
Makes sense, amirite.

I did see, and you can go ahead and see on Discord's history, admins using the n-word and others on "shitposting", indeed. But I never saw any of them bullying someone. Never saw any really hurting someone. Not like court.

Power is nice, but you have to be responsible to get it. You need to have a certain degree of respect. You have to realize your words have power, whether they're on shitposting or anywhere else. She has none of that. Or heck, maybe she does and she just really wanted me to kill myself. That's probably it.

I have no doubt you would be a competent and useful admin as you have more experience in trading than the current trade moderators. I just don't think you have changed that much since your last admin application. What has changed though is that some of the people who once were against you now support and approve of your trolling and it somehow gives you motivation or encourages you to troll even more, at least that's how it feels to me.

Your responses to newcomers on discord are always rude/aggressive/toxic, etc., especially to the ones who are a little slow at understanding simple things. You're not the only one who does that, i'm aware, but it still got you restricted from certain channels (also on a side note, you went out of your way to get banned from other discord servers/forums. Whether it was justified or not, you went there with the intent of provoking). So i don't know how you'd deal with players such as the ones you always troll if you were on the same server.

On top of you provoking on discord you constantly do it on the forums as well, through ratings or status updates for instance, as meow said. The people who complain about you don't complain about any other forums members the way they do with you. No other forums members go out of their ways to do the things you do (besides the ones you troll, obviously). You would literally jump on any occasion to shit on someone you find stupid almost on a daily basis. This urge to provoke or argue can be seen once again in this application with your response to BBQ when you could have easily ignored him. Trolling is fun, i agree. Occasionally though.

You keep mentioning BBQ/CT's cases but no one complained about their behavior before they were made admins (you even +1'd BBQ's app). You mentioned Kael being a dick to admins in his app and a report but he wasn't known for being a dick to everyone on the forums/discord in general prior to applying. I fully understand someone's bad behavior on an online forums/discord doesn't necessarily mean they won't do their job in a professional and mature way. However every person who was made admin since i joined the forums has never behaved the way you have before their apps got approved and it matters to me personally.


For those reasons i will -1 your application. If you decide to actually change and re-apply i will gladly support it.

 

[jwso]

i don't see a reason why bott would make someone with a volatile personality like yours an admin

it's like a timebomb waiting to blow up one day and harm the community's reputation majorly

and for that reason i'm out -1

 

[courtsnort♩♪♫♬]

People are continuing to make accusations without evidence, as Antamania stated before. Disclosing complete bias based on personal dislike and past actions in unmoderated territory. “Manipulation” is a heavy claim to make when there is no evidence being brought forward of that claim.

People fail to realize how much of a different atmosphere a trade server is compared to every other server on Skial. At any given moment, there aren’t hundreds and thousands of dollars being advertised for sale on trade servers. Moderating such a heavy load is a task that isn’t all lollipop and rainbows as people seem to think it is. Taking on that task requires a very strong backbone, tuned attentiveness, and a lot of activity and precautions. Someone who isn’t bull-headed and certain in their own ways ultimately could be the difference in whether or not a player on Skial loses hundreds of dollars in seconds.

The obvious need for more activity on the trade servers along with my obvious qualification and availability compared to other applicants, and trustworthy reputation as a trader should be a no-brainer in outweighing the penalties of “she called me mean names in unmoderated” and “she rated me dumb on an Internet forum”

I wish you hadn't pulled the "no evidence" tag, but heck.

Shall we start? I've included images from general where you go crazy just because people don't agree with you in a pacific discussions, as well as several times you called me autist or told me to kill myself in shitposting WHICH I, again, think that matters.
I don't care if it's unmod or any crap, words have the same value.
I also included images of your childish behaviour on general, be it with me while having a pacific discussion or with a new member to the Discord who simply asked a question to an "admin".
I added some text to some of the compilations, sorry for the shitty Paint skills.

A. I was punished for the incidents in general
B. Shitposting is shitposting, same rules as unmoderated which has been discussed a dozen times already
C. Discord =/= TF2 server

As lydee stated, although not intending to give me credibility, past admins such as CT and BBQ have proven that an individuals behavior before being hired is in no way a reflection of whether or not they are able to be a professional administrator and Moderator

I’ll repeat: until credible evidence that isn’t from shitposting/unmoderated comes forward, my experience and contributions far outweigh the negativity that is being brought forth largely by forum trolls and shitposters, and people with personal vendetta.

Anyways, I’m still optimistic about this and await the final decision. Either way, I’ll continue to ignore the obvious trolls aiming to derail a good application and focus on cleaning up the trade servers, even if I don’t get accepted.

After discussing this with multiple admins, we've decided to decline this application until further notice. Firstly, I'd like to state none of the admins doubted your ability to enforce the rules on Skial. Now, let's begin with this first:

Of 12 votes, 83% of them were uncomfortable with you being on the team, upon doing this poll, this is the worst disapproval/approval rate we've ever had. I'm not going to say who made this result because their identity and opinion remains confidential for a reason but in general, they tended to agree with this which was my opinion on your application, let's run these down:

• Will be around for more than a few months.
• Calm. Will not get mad if you lose your admin.
• Knows instinctively what is fair.
• Smart enough to use the ban command properly.
• Able to gain friends while playing on our servers.
• Willing to help people on the other servers too.
• Actively trying to participate in the community.

1. You've been around for 2+ years, whether we know you're a person that will stick around or not is no longer a question because you've already done so for 2+ years.
2. I feel like triggering you would be as easy as you triggering newcomers, I am genuinely unsure that if we fired you, or even declined this application, would you get mad or not? Thinking that alone isn't a good thing.
3. I'm fairly certain you know the rules well enough to know what's fair and what isn't. However, a big issue I had in the past with a different admin was he would never lift appeals. When I mentioned this idea in unmod, you lashed at me, agreeing with said admin and having the mindset of "once a scammer, always a scammer". Whether you still have that mindset or not is unknown but I'm fairly certain you do and that concerns the team because we don't want a repeat of that
4. Your ban command is correct so that's not an issue
5. This is debatable, you're friendly on server but, imo, this bullet should also concern forums and discord, and if it did, that doesn't apply, it's the opposite rather. Additionally, I'm not even sure you're friendly on server, I'm certain people get annoyed with your lenny binds and this shows quite the opposite of making friends

   Bottiger's 24/7 Idle 01/13/2018 - 08:48:08 PM Courtsnortington /dsay you're literally targetting me and taunting and keep talking shit
   Bottiger's 24/7 Idle 01/13/2018 - 08:47:14 PM Courtsnortington /dsay little kid is so salty lmao
   Bottiger's 24/7 Idle 01/13/2018 - 08:31:12 PM Courtsnortington /dsay 'aperently'
   Bottiger's 24/7 Idle 01/13/2018 - 08:30:25 PM Courtsnortington /dsay again, says the one who tried talking shit out of nowhere
   Bottiger's 24/7 Idle 01/13/2018 - 08:29:38 PM Courtsnortington /dsay if you didn't have autism, you would realize how your retarded statement makes zero sense
   Bottiger's 24/7 Idle 01/13/2018 - 08:28:51 PM Courtsnortington /dsay says the one trying to talk shit
   Bottiger's 24/7 Idle 01/13/2018 - 08:28:23 PM Courtsnortington /dsay i'm sorry about your autism

6. You said there's no issue hopping between servers as your knowledge on those rules is also present so that's not an issue either
7. You're actively participating in the community but I don't think in a good way, triggering newcomers with ratings and provocative statements in statuses and posts really doesn't show a good community presence

Trade mods on Skial get access to multiple things on top of the potential to ban, unban, execute any sourcebans commands, edit parts of the reports/appeals/scam report/scam appeals/trade chat/trade forums and access to viewing the private admin section. Additionally, trade mods on Skial get a green shield as a form of reputation, allowing them to enforce this rule:

All Raffles and Events/Contests (trivia, costume, etc.) require Skial Green Shield Admins or anyone on this list to middleman: http://steamrep.com/list/M

and most importantly, helping people of all sorts that feel endangered by fraudulent individuals. The ranges of these individuals can be anywhere from English not being their first language, them not knowing how to take screenshots requiring you to teach them (which may also require knowledge on how to do so on other OSs) or them lacking the motivation to make the report as they've lost their items. All of this can be done as quickly as 5 minutes if the user is knowledgeable but I've had reports take upwards of 2 hours. You being patient and inspirational with and for people coming to you for report assistance is very unlikely based on how you treat people that come to Skial/Discord. Ultimately, until you can clean up your entire act on Skial platforms, by being more friendly and welcoming, we'll be declining this application.
