Servers:
SAXTON HALE | US​
Time Zone:
From Monday to Sunday, I am mostly on from 1 to 10 PM. I bounce between VSH and the PUB servers depending on what I want to play and get off later in the night. If I’m not online during the day, I’ll usually log in late at night around 12 PM to 6 AM PST.​
Link to your Stats Page:
Playing Time:
218 hours, give or take an hour or so. (excluding AFK hours)​
Will you get mad if you lose admin?:
No. Circumstances change and having a high temperament about losing admin status is an unprofessional characteristic to have. If I were to be removed due to reasons of "abuse of power" or any other valid reason, then I would accept my fate and take the demotion. Regardless if I were to be removed for "no reason", I'd accept the responsibility and carry on.​
How do you ban yourself using your own SteamID?:
!sm_ban "[U:1:175522731]" 30 "obvious aimbot"​
Any other reason you should be admin:
I've been playing on Skial for a while now, (cliché intro, I know) and I've really come to enjoy the community. I remember first coming onto the server 6 years ago as a newcomer and not knowing what to expect playing this game. Little did I know that I'd be playing on these servers daily for hours at a time. Throughout my time in Skial, I've had the privilege to befriend many people and to thoroughly enjoy my time here. However, there are times where these acts of friendly camaraderie are ruined by "trolls", and "griefers" who like to cause public discord among the servers. This often ruins the genuine gameplay of Tf2, and I'd like to maintain the positivity within the Skial community. I rarely see admins taking action among petty griefers, and I don't mean to discredit admins who are online, but most actions are left to !votemenu or !report, and half the time the perpetrators aren't punished. There have been numerous times where mic spammers haven't been muted, and these people have been let off scot-free. I'd like to help the community enjoy their time on the server without being meddled by griefers and trolls.

Not only do I have a positive mindset to improve the community, but I have the skills to back it up. I'm currently a Trial Moderator on a TTT server called Carbon Castles. I've been playing in that community for nearly a year, and I've embedded myself into the community, being a friendly figure to those who meet me. Not only do I have staffing experience in online games, but I also have real-life leadership skills applicable to becoming an admin. I've participated in leadership activities for the past 3 years in and out of my high school experience. I've held leadership positions such as "ASB" meaning I lead my own committees, and I participate in 2 other big-time commitments outside of school. One being Teen Council, which is a program led by Planned Parenthood, and we basically teach 9th graders about sexual education and social justice issues, all the while learning about them during our lessons and meetings with our advisor. This requires having a mature mindset and being able to communicate with others with an open mind. Secondly, I participate in a program called BSAC, which is a group of students who come together to meet with our district administrators to speak about issues in our district and figuring out ways to solve them. This entails being able to work in a team setting, and having constant ideas on how to solve issues. To simplify everything I've said, I've had prior experience in dealing with people professionally, and I think these skills are highly applicable in trying to staff with Skial.

Lastly, I think I'm a pretty easy going and enthusiastic guy. I've been able to easily befriend many people among Skial, and this trait is incredibly important if I am to interact with players on a day to day basis. Hopefully, these reasons can be kept in consideration when deciding the fate of my application. Thank you for taking the time to read this, and I hope I can work with the other staff members in Skial in the future!
- also, I'm 18 if that carries any weight.​
 
Ban question needs revising

You can and always should report them here on the forums, sometimes not enough players will "!votereport" in chat so the bot will not post the report. If no one reports the offenders, the offenders can not be dealt with.
 
While you meet the min hours requirement (only just, after 6 years), you seem to have only really been playing during the current "lockdown crisis". Do you feel your current pattern of playing will continue after normality resumes, as you do have so many other commitments going on in your life?

My mistake. The revision of the ban should me !sm_ban STEAM_0:1:87761365 30 Obvious Aimbot.
I'm not sure if the commands and formatting are the same from GMOD and Tf2. The wrong STEAM ID was my bad.

I believe that my pattern of playing will continue as the year progresses, hopefully well after this pandemic dies down. When schools start back up in the fall, my playtime may decrease due to other responsibilities, but I should have no trouble maintaining the hours I put into the server within each week. I just can't be playing for 8 hours at a time anymore. In regards to your first point, I've jumped around communities within the past 6 years. Just a couple months ago, I finally got back into TF2 after 2-3 years of not playing, and have found my niche in Skial. I mainly played casual and FF on Disc back then and some Skial FF/VSH, but I never really stayed for that long. During that time I was still about a 8th grader/freshman, so I still had other obligations in mind.

Completely wrong compared to the first answer
 
+1 he's a meaniehead but i'd be glad to see him making vsh much more tolerable. most of the regulars like him, too.
 
+1 can vouch for them; is a regular, always positive and knows to follow server rules.

As a recent new player of TF2, I completely understand and feel you about the “trolls” and grievers, for I am one of those who at time have been fallen to trolls from time to time, but at the end of the day, we move on. But what I’m more concerned about is the sexual harassment via voice chatting and text chat from player to player. Even though we physically have to press F7 and send it to TF2 game or to Valve/Steam, shouldn’t the admins also be well-aware about these harassments, too? Every time someone gets harassed, they get banned temporarily or permanently but there’s always a loop hole around it. Something has to be done.

You did not try to correct the ban question after the 2nd attempt, and your chatlogs are horrendous, leads me to question your maturity.

Marking improve for the reasons above, improve on your behavior
