Servers:
TURBINE+ | US
Time:
Since it's summer vacation, usually I can get on any time before 10:00 PM PST, when summer ends, most likely 4 days a week.
Link to your Stats Page:
Playing Time:
About 700 hours, 30 hours afk.
Will you get mad if you lose admin?:
No not at all, maybe a little shocked but I'd still play on the servers if I wasn't banned, but if it was unexplained it'd just be questionable, but I would still not be mad.
How do you ban yourself using your own SteamID?:
sm_ban "#[U:1:41511299]" 30 "Obvious aimbot"
Any other reason you should be admin:
I've played on skial for about four years now, it may say six years on my stats, but my old computer was trash and couldn't run any steam games at the time. Every time I played I had fun most times.

The thing is, I'd like to become an admin on these three servers because there is a majority of violators on these servers whenever I play. You can see in the "Report" section that I've made lot's of reports because of these violators. Usually I ask them why they have called a vote on someone when I think that the vote is unjustified. However, the majority of people I've seen breaking the rules like racism, mic-spam don't often get reported by people because they aren't recording a demo of their game or just don't feel like reporting them. Therefore, they get away with it because not even I have evidence to report them.

Often I don't see admins on Skial servers, it may be because I'm not on when they're on or because they are just not active on the servers I'm on. I'm usually active on skial servers and TF2 in general, having over 4000 hours in general, as of right now all I really play is Skial, because it's the only really good community server in TF2 that hasn't died, so expect me to be active if I get admin.

I'm friendly to players in general and don't break rules, and my chat is clean. My six votebans were from voteabusers, but I know at least of them were my fault. I don't like using the !votemenu because it's better to just report them and half of the time the votes get denied. At times I try to defuse arguments (which I'm aware isn't against the rules, so I obviously don't report toxicity unless discrimination such as religion or race is involved) because they just flood the chat and I'm sure lot's of people just find that irritating while they play.

I've been an admin on another game before, so I have experience with being an admin and dealing with situations in a calm manner. I admit though, sometimes I hate permanently banning people, but if I have to, I have to. It's part of the job.

Lastly, I'd like to become an admin because I'd like to make sure everyone is having a good time. I've chosen these servers because they are in my time zone.

Thanks for reading, whether if you think this was a good application or not. Have a good day.

PS: In case it doesn't show, I'd prefer to admin on 2fort US, Turbine+US, Saxton Hale US, and Death Run US. It doesn't look like I can check all of them.​

Your recent status is extremely questionable. If you feel bad for getting Wystur banned, and are now applying for admin, it's not unreasonable to think you will unban Wystur should we give you admin. Anything you can say to counteract this? In addition, how is it your fault Wystur is banned?

I wouldn't unban him. And no, I don't blame myself for getting himself banned, I just felt some sort of guilt yesterday since he sent me a PM. Saying g"Come on dude why did you have to do that" I just told him to do what Kael said and appeal later confirming he has read the rules. He's not even my friend. I wouldn't abuse my power in any way such as that, if he's supposed to be banned, he'll be banned.​

Plus, that wouldn't even be a good idea, right? I'm pretty sure some admin could just check a person's ban status (if they haven't appealed) and if he was unBanned, they'd know who it was who unbanned him. Also it was just Wystur anyways I sort of felt bad for, I've gotten others banned from my reports like I said.

You seem to have a clean chat and you've made reports plus your app looks good. But what's with the use of the "!ignore @all" command so often in the past week?

I use the !ignore command a lot because most of the times people just play music on their mics, and I'm not really a fan of the music preventing me from hearing sounds from in game, that's why I use it. And the !ignore @all is what I use mainly on 2fort/Turbine, because their is just a lot of people talking at the same time which doesn't sound to good.

So you feel bad for someone who broke the rules that you reported? You should never sympathize for rulebreakers unless the ban was unjustified.

I don't get this argument. You can definitely feel bad for reporting someone. It didn't stop him from actually reporting the guy. This seems like a nitpicky argument vs an actual strike against him.

I'll +1 for him. Chat seems good, he has good hours, he seems polite.

Edit:
Also as someone who regularly plays on the 2fort, I can say the !ignore function is almost needed for us. There are a lot of annoying loud people in there that he wouldn't actually want to action as an admin.

It shouldn't count against him for using a feature to ignore annoying people if they aren't doing anything wrong.

What if someone on the 2fort or turbine server decides to play ear rape or be racist on mic? You'd have everyone ignored hence making it hard for you to enforce the rules on the server.

Most people vote mute, but you have a good point anyways. I'll stop ignoring, thanks for the advice.

It's mainly because he was aware he couldn't spray it. Then again, hes gotten many bans and 2 admin bans, so I guess there should be no sympathy. But like Antamania said, it didn't stop me from making the report.
