- Upper reports Metroidz for playing this song over voice in Hightower US with reasonable quality and volume. Should he be issued a punishment by an admin? If so, why?
- You're on Payload+ US and I says in chat "I should re-download lmaobox, brb". Should I be issued a punishment by an admin? If so, why?
- Toxik reports Feral Angel for abusing vote-ban on him. Toxik says Feral's reasoning for calling the vote was because he killed her. Should she be issued a punishment by an admin? If so, why?
- On Bottiger's 24/7 Idle/Trade, Ren threatens to DDOS ManaPig in chat. Should she be issued a punishment by an admin? If so, why?

Anne has been a standup player for years, knows her shit on skial servers like most of the long time long time regs who've spent years there. Unlike Phantom
I can't think of anyone more deserving and someone who actually gives a shit, other than Anne.

- Nothing wrong with this song over Hightower voice. It should be left to a server vote and Upper should be reminded of the mute/ignore feature. IF the song was inapproriate (N--R word) Metroidz would be punished for a racist song; IF the song was earrape levels, it would be a silence. Since it is what it is, no action necessary, game on.

Using/advertising hacks, even joking, is against the rules. You should get a perma-ban.
Command: sm_ban "#[U:1:116254940]" 0 "using/advertise hacks"

Look into Feral's voteban reasoning - if it really was just because Toxik killed her, it's vote abuse. She can sit out for a day and cool off.
Command: sm_ban “#[U:1:300277302]” 1440 “vote abuse”
On Bottiger's 24/7 Idle/Trade, Ren threatens to DDOS ManaPig in chat. Should she be issued a punishment by an admin? If so, why?
Making threats against skial/admins is a punishable offense, but not players. Ren gets a big warning at first, and a ban only if she goes through with it.
Command: sm_ban "#[U:1:273395704]" 0 "DDOS"

Really a permaban for that?
Why would you warn someone against something that isn't against the rules, and why would you ban someone for something that does not take place on the servers?
To be honest, I'm going to verbally warn first in most cases to remind people of the rules.
It is my understanding that trade servers are.. servers. (please clarify because in my answer I am not saying she is DDOSing him on her own time, not on a server.)
Hacking is a perma-bannable offense. Is Jerma joking out of his ass about LMAObox? Even then, still joking, still saying he's had it before, still advertising a specific hack.

Is she attacking this person while on the trade server? Not the threat because that isn't against the rules. If she followed through with the threat and was DDOSing this individual, I should think it's bannable.
Mentioning anything by name is in some way an advertisement. It's not a link to get it, true.

Correct
Advertising hacks seriously or as a joke is a permanent ban, it has been for a while, but can be appealed if player states they will not advertise cheats again. It depends a lot on the context of the situation, most will warn players first before issuing a ban, or not take action at all depending on the situation.
Reasoning is correct, but for vote abuse sm_silence is necessary, not a ban.
We don't punish/warn players for threatening to DDOS other players, only if players threaten staff or servers, especially servers. It is more difficult to obtain a private IP address than it is just pulling up Skial's server list for our public IPs, and we can't easily verify if a player is serious about the threat against the other player.
I think you misunderstand, you can't Ddos an individual on a server, you would need to attack their private ip and this couldn't be done through Skial severs. Using admin powers on the server to punish for something done off the server is not allowed.
If mentioning something by name was always defined as advertising, then jermaphobe should get a warning for mentioning it on the forums as "server rules also apply to the forums". As jermaphobe rightly points out, it's all about context.
I still think you will make a decent admin
The answers were a little off in my opinion however the sheer amount of feedback you have received so far has to be taken into account, and your answers are on the right lines even though they are a little off. That to me is indeed the makings of a potential staff member, and moreso - someone I'd consider putting forward as a potential staff member.
The staff recruitment for TF2 usually takes time though, I'm unsure why this was bumped to "reviewing" when it's not been reviewed yet (your time, chatlogs, etc etc etc) and only open less than 24 hours, so I'll remove that tag for now. Once someone has done the basic checks it can be re-applied. If this isn't done by tomorrow afternoon I'll do it.
