- Your name and/or nickname
Real name is Spencer, nickname is Speneth The 1st formally, but I'd prefer Speneth.

- Your age
My age is 16. I apologize in regards to the confusion on my account info that says I'm 20 as that's not correct. It carried over from my steam profile which has 20 set as the age in order to bypass age requirements on Steam, etc.

- Who gave you permission to apply? (applies to applicants under 15 or those who apply for servers not listed in the "Available positions" thread)
N/A as I am 16.

- Your Steam32 ID (this is not simply a profile link. Look up what it is and how to get it; simply posting what you think it is makes you seem unprofessional)
STEAM_0:1:52222109

- Your general online times and your timezone
Friday: 14:30-0:30
Saturday-Sunday: 10:00-0:30
Occasionally I'm online during some days of the week with the same time schedule as Saturday/Sunday, such as if I'm on holiday, or if I'm lucky enough to have time to stop by.
Timezone: PT or PDT atm. UTC/GMT -7 hours

- Which of our servers do you usually play on and wish to apply for? Would you visit a broader range of servers in case of a report?
I have only played on the European FF2 server, Freak Fortress 2 #13, and I only am applying for the server stated. I can and would visit a broader range of them if necessary, preferably with familiarity and context to what I know about those gamemodes at the time.

- Do you have a microphone? (This is a minimum requirement for Jailbreak admins)
Yes, I have a good one, and I use it occasionally but would prefer to not use it as I am more used to simple text chat. However I will use a microphone if necessary in certain conditions.

- Your previous experience as Admin or Moderator
Unfortunately I have not been an administrator on any server before. Technically I have been an admin on my friend's Minecraft server many years ago, but I consider it as invalid because of the time difference and the complexity difference between Minecraft and TF2.

- Do you have experience with administrating with SourceMod?
Unfortunately no, but I would love to learn how to use it.

- Why should we choose you to be part of our team?
I have been very active, almost daily, for the past few months on the Panda servers, specifically and only the FF2 European server, as I believe I have bonded too much to this single string of the community to let it go to play something else. While I am American and aware that there is a US FF2 server, I'm too attached to the European one to just move to the better latency one, as well as I've gotten used to the latency difference. Plus some of my friends on the European server say that the US servers are very different environments, so I don't believe I would 'fit in' as well as I do the European one. I am very friendly on this server, and I believe a good 70% of regulars would know who I am. A main factor that I think would be advantageous, as well as the fact that I was applying specifically for this server to exercise this advantage, is the time zones. Most of the time the administrators who frequently pop up on this server are here only until around midnight (Germany time) or a few hours later, with many days of the week (at least from what I've seen) they are only available until the late evening, allowing the servers to run without monitoring, and letting people get away with even simple offenses, like caps, insults, etc. While I am aware that I can record demos of the offenses and post about them on the forums, I feel that it is too time consuming and there are too many people to manage at once during this time frame. And by the time these players would get punished if they were to be all reported through demos and such, the damage would have already been done, and (regarding what I've seen) most of the offenders at night are just passing 'loners' such as Americans and whatnot, as most of the time I rarely see these passerbys return to the server again, making reporting them useless. As stated above, I am online and usually playing from European evenings through European mornings, making this schedule a prime time for a 'night shift' of sorts, if you want to get that simplistic. Plus I've just gotten sick of all these people teaming, spamming, insulting all the time. It really dampens my, and I'm sure everyone's, experience and enjoyment, and I would love to improve the night conditions that are present on this Panda Community server since the player base in this time frame is still high enough for the effort to be worth it to me. As I'll admit, the players can be really cancerous at times, and it would be really satisfying to enforce some order in there (Side note: Occasionally I pop up on the servers during European day time for a few hours longer than my standard schedule, so I wouldn't be only working in the night, I wouldn't want to never again see some of my European friends I have here).

- Finally, please briefly explain how you would do your job, e.g. a general overview of your policies and punishments.
Call Abuse: 1 warning, second offense 4 hour ban.
Foreign Language: 2 warnings, if more offenses then 30 minute gag/mute.
Hale Camping: 2 warnings, if continued toggle timebomb.
Player being useless: 2 warnings then slay.
Exploiting: Slay and 1 warning, if continued 1 hour ban.
Hacking: Perma ban (At first it would be a temp ban but before I execute the action I would try and get a demo or some form of evidence to show to my mentor to get a final decision)
Spamming/Micspamming: 2 warnings then 1 hour gag/mute.
Severe insults: 1 warning then if continued gag/mute for 1 hour.
Ghosting: 1 warning then if continued a kick.
AFK: Slay 2 rounds then kick if still AFK.

Thanks for reading and I hope I get only honest critical feedback, good or bad.

Wat, I thought that the age system would reset himself everytime you leave the page where you visited with fake age.

Anyway, staying Neutral over there. Player is aware of all rules, respectful to other players and blah blah blah, yes, but I should require to see him more on the server, getting close of how he acts, since I just noticed by a few weeks his "presence" even if he got 19 days of playtime, lol.
 
Thanks for the feedback Pat.
In regards to seeing me more, like I stated in the application, my playtimes are very different than yours or for many other admins, since by the time you go to bed, I wake up, so it's difficult to see many admins more often. Regardless, I try my best to stay awake for that long on the server, because personally many admins make life more interesting in the server and I hate to miss those moments.

Pat okay. i like you alot but wtf is it with your replies. First you state you want to give out +1 because of friends now when you need to give good reasons about the fellah you just come up with blah blah blah. like it doens't mean shit while it is usefull information.
 
Unfortunately I have to agree with Zush there. I filed a player report about White Falcon and he gives a similar confusing comment on it. I'm not trying to go off topic here, but just saying...
 
Anyway. i have seen spenneth quite a few times and i can say he is a person who isn't affraid to show that he is present on the server, but in a good way. he talks to people in a friendly way and he is aware of the rules, the one thing i have doubts about is if he is capable of not letting friends influence him if he would become and admin, With this i mean that he wouldn't favor his friends if they would break the rules. For now i am staying NEUTRAL but if i had to lean towards +1 or -1 it would be towards +1 i might change my neutral later, depending on what happends.

Goodluck with your App

Thank you Zush for the comment.
I can totally understand where you're coming from, my behavior does seem to look like it would support that. And I'll admit, if I had applied a month and a half ago, that statement would have probably been true. However (who knows why I'm pointing this negative part out) the ban you put on me back in July and with the corresponding 1.5 month restriction gave me time to put things into perspective and realize what I should really be doing in preparation for an admin application, as well as the possibility of becoming admin with the responsibilities and such. In short, with all this reflecting time, I believe I put that part of me behind and I wouldn't have a certain bias towards specific people anymore. However you can keep your opinion if you still have doubts.
 
Also, thanks for the ban, it kind of helped. No sarcasm, I'm serious.

Sorry for the confused opinion given, I changed my point of view in the last period on the player, he deserves (as I've seen) my +1.
Good luck with your application and remember to be active on the server in this phase :rolleyes:
 
Of course, I can't stop visiting the server anyways, too addicting :p Thank you Pat for your change in opinion and I appreciate your trust in me.

Update on my time schedule:

On any day during the week that wasn't previously listed, I can now pop up on the server to answer calls, but I can only stay for a max of 30 minutes per call. In simpler terms, Monday through Thursday I'll have this exception during 14:30-0:30 PT, the same time frame as my Friday schedule. Fortunately I was able to make this schedule more flexible. So instead of my strict 3 day per week schedule, it's basically all week now.

Changing my neutral to a +1 i haven't seen him that much anymore ( mainly since i have been busy with my job irl) but he seems to hve improved his behavior more towards me being pleased with him. i am still not 100% sure about him but i don't want to be in his way to prevent giving him a chance. So i would like to say goodluck but don't be affraid to punish your friends if they think they are free of rules under your vieuw

Thank you Zush for your trust in me here, I appreciate it. It seems to me that you feel like you are partially taking a gamble with me in regards to not making any "exceptions" to friends, however for the chance that I do get accepted, feel free to tell me if you think that I am doing anything explicitly wrong with such administrative authority in my possession.
 
There I am,maybe a bit late but,hey better than never!

I have played with Speneth for a lot of time,even with different timezones.The player enforces the rules even when there is an admin in-game and I have never seen him breaking one of them.He had a ban,but I personally think he learned from his mistakes.With that said,I would like to give you my +1 and wish you good luck.
 
accepted, welcome in the team.

your mentor during your trial phase will be @Blutz, should you have any questions feel free to ask anyone of us.

your rights will be added during the day.
