Please note! I realize that the first half of this admin app is copy&pasted from the previous admin app, and it is explained later why.

(If relevant) Who gave you permission to apply?
n/a, the open admin apps.
Server you are applying for
Panda-community US | Jailbreak
General online times & time zone
Usually weekends from 14:00 (2PM) - 00:00 (12PM) CET on saturdays, and around 8AM to 16:00 (4PM) on sundays. There's a simple reason why: split parents, one address has a computer I can actually do stuff with, and one doesn't.
Current timezone of application is the Central European Time (CET) timezone. (GMT+1)
Do you have a working microphone? (This is required for Jailbreak admins)
Yes. I do.
Previous experience as Admin or Moderator (Mostly in games, other experience is valid if sufficiently relevant)
I was a Discord moderator in a 100k+ member server, which ran pretty smoothly.
I believe I also helped moderate two Minecraft server before once, which was pretty popular. yet.. it died out like a few months later.. But.. I was pretty good at helping with running it, from what I heard from others.
In terms of TF2 servers I've never been an admin, but from watching other admins do their job on the server, I'm pretty confident I can be an okay admin.
I've also been digging in how some commands work, and I'm really familiar with the Source Engine dev console.
Also, I know when someone is breaking the rules and I'd be more than happy to assist the current admin team in covering times where they aren't available.
======================================================================================================================================================
(the part that follows now isn't copy&pasted from the previous app(s), i just think it's difficult to change the text to include the same information in a different way -- i did make tiny tweaks here and there)
What would you say makes you a suitable candidate? (Finally, please briefly explain how you would do your job, e.g. a general overview of your policies and punishments.)
It's been a while huh? With my 7th application I really hope this time I throw the dart into - or at least, closer - the bullseye.
With half a year that's passed since my last application, I feel like I've become a better person in general, and I'm constantly trying to improve - online or not. My social life's been blooming too and I'm feeling quite confident about myself.
I have good friends, and an education which I'm happy about. And as it turns out, I can actually apply some stuff that's being discussed in that education, in this admin app! How cool is that?
Jailbreak has been my kind of "im so done with this week"-weekend activity, it's not the absolute highest priority in my life, but it's something fun to return to after a hard week of school.
So anyway, in regards to my previous admin application back in June of 2023, I have been holding the feedback given in the back of my mind whilst playing Jailbreak.
I've been breaking less rules (I'm mostly talking about the false orders, but also the toxicity towards other players has luckily calmed down), I've become more loose with my rulekeeping - as in, I allow more fun stuff to happen, I don't instantly kill rebelling sandman scouts for instance - and I sometimes even ask people around me whether I'm an okay addition to the server. Mostly privatly in Discord/Steam DMs though, rarely in the server chat. Regulars can confirm this.
I feel that this graph explains best how I acted in the past:
I notice I'm becoming a little more strict lately, but I won't let it get as far as last time.
Previous apps
In the previous admin app, (#5.5) Banana (and technically Cowboy, Denzel and Semicolon too because they said their thoughts reflect Banana's) stated the following:
"your uptightness and strictness have been recurring issues since January (of 2023) and it sucks. We dont want a trigger-happy admin. Being an admin is more than just black-and-white decisions, there are grey areas and it's a balancing act that I dont think you can handle."
I do realize in my daily life for example that I struggle with "grey" areas. Situations where it isn't clear whether is either going one way or another; this is because of my autism. I'm honestly trying to improve this, but I think when those "grey" situations come up, I could handle them under some guidance from higher-ups. Then, with a gradual decline in guidance I could become an okay addition to the team.
And with one year that's passed, I think that a person can change a lot in that time span.
How I see the bit above, explained with a graph:
Okay fine, I'll mention admin app #4 too while I'm at it. It sucked. In hindsight I wasn't even trying to make a serious application.
However, Racer did say something that is important to remember down the line: to tone down the toxicity and rude responses, what has obviously been quite valuable for me, but mostly for other server members. As I said earlier, this is what I've been doing and I feel like the community is.. more "okay" with me now? If that makes sense?
App #3 was invalid.
Admin application #2 and #1 was basically me dipping my toes into the water, and all of the points mentioned there have been taken into account and consideration already.
Phew, talk about a personal admin application.
Rule enforcement:
The punishment ladder that I will enforce will look something along the lines of this:
Bans/Gags
1st infraction - 6 hours
2nd infraction - 12 hours
3rd infraction - 1 day
4th infraction - 3 days
5th infraction - 1 week
6th infraction - 1 month
7th infraction - permanent
Teambans
1st infraction - 120 minutes
2nd infraction - 240 minutes
3rd infraction - 360 minutes
4th infraction - 480 minutes
5th infraction - permanent
Closing words
I do realize that there are a lot of applicants as of this time around, but that won't stop me from attempting to throw this application into the mix anyway!
I do wish you guys the best of luck with your apps! <3
I really am curious where this dart lands, and I hope I can help you guys soon on the moderation team! <3
Kind regards,
Hehe troll.
