Hello! My name is nate but my ingame name is butters.

-age
I am 18 and will be 19 on the 28th of December.

-Your Steam ID
STEAM_0:1:33619709

-Your general online times and your timezone
I am on mostly at night and afternoon im on in the mornings rarely. I am in the easter time zone.

- 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 am almost always on the TX dodgeball server and thats the one i would love to appy for admin on that server! I wouldent mind haveing to go on other panda servers at all! I love you guys!

- Do you have a microphone?
Yes.

- Your previous experience as Admin or Moderator
No but i belive this would be a great place to start!

- Do you have experience with administrating with SourceMod?
Again no but i can learn!

- Why should we choose you to be part of our team?
Well iv been on this server for a good time now and i love the vibes i get from everyone here! I am also a understanding person and will punish with fairness!

- Finally, please briefly explain how you would do your job, e.g. a general overview of your policies and punishments.
Well i would make sure that everyone would have one chance to do the right thing i dont think someone should be banned for one messup or if they failed to read the rules. However if one is continuously breaking rules and being an overall nuisance i belive they should be punished.
I belive that bullying should never be tolerated and the same goes for disrespect. if someone is being toxic they deserve an gag or mute depending on what they have decided to say. I will only resort to bans if someone is hacking or is a repeat offender. I will only act when needed and will be fair regardless of feelings towards other players.
 
easter time zone lel
Somehow managed to get the wrong SteamID : STEAM_0:0:184900790

Gameme - 26 days 05:04:27 hours
Sessions - Good consistency, keep it up. An hour+ per day is a good start.
Chat - Remember you can use / to hide your commands, such as rtd and fov.

Comms - Last block 06-06-18 - I believe 1.5 months is minimum to apply?
Bans - Last ban 01-16-18

To begin, similar to our other recent app, Butters has history with the TX server. He has been around as long as I have, and is usually in good spirit. I really don't have anything negative to say about him, except for the prior bans for stealing. You knew better. Likewise with the comm for music in mic, I remember issuing that and it was definitely warranted.
Sessions are above the average for most of our current staff, aherm, connection time ranges from ten minutes to two hours. For the month of July, you connected 24/31 days. June was 26/30 days. I can't say anything bad there.

Why should we choose you to be part of our team?
You should consider elaborating more, tell us how Panda TX will benefit from your presence as a staff member.

Finally, please briefly explain how you would do your job, e.g. a general overview of your policies and punishments.
I agree with your stated policy around punishing players. This is usually how I operate with new players who don't understand the rules, especially when they have played on other DB servers which don't have the same rules. Nobody is banned from Panda for making a single mistake, unless they are cheating. This policy will crumble to players who already have bans though, so sometimes you will have to be more stern.

I highly suggest you take a look at the archive of accepted admin applications. This will help you revise your policies and punishments. While your post does cover most of the issues, we need to know that you understand ban/comm reasons, and punishment lengths. Alternatively, you can visit the profile of the admins below, and look through their posts to find their application for some reference.

I honestly think making me an admin would better the server im on almost all the time when there are no admins on. On top of that i think that having an admin that is on when the servers are packed like late at night could help other admins from getting calls about whatever is going on! I believe that if you chose me to be an admin is that im on so much i feel that most of the repeat offenders would never have a window to break the rules! my point im trying to get across is that im extremely active and i feel it would be good to have another admin like that!

OK i admit that my first attempt at this was a garbled mess but after reading all of the other admins applications i think i understand now.

-What i will do to deal with stealing players
As we all know the new plugin has stopped a lot of stealing is the server but i believe that if you steal you should be slain immediately and if you continue to steal you should get a 12 hour ban if you proceed to steal after it will be a full day and after that it should be 3 is one were to steal after the 3rd time of being banned you should be punished with a perm ban.

-What i will do to deal with abusers of the comm system
i believe that racial slurs should not be tolerated under any circumstances. I believe that if one were to use any racial slurs that they should be gag/muted for a day. if the same person were to be caught doing that again i believe a perm ban is in need. Furthermore mic spammers and other languages. I believe that if you are mic spamming/speaking in another language you should get a warning over chat and mic and if one does not comply then a gag/mute should be in place depending on how many gags/mutes they have had is how i will carry out punishment.

-The way i would deal with hackers
As iv seen from the other admins i think the best way is to join in spec and make sure they said person is hacking. Depending on what i observe is how i would deal with the hacker. For example if one is obviously using hacks they should be banned immediately however if one seems to just be a good player and is still sus i would consult with other admins before acting.

-Responding to calls
I would respond to all calls if i get them while at my computer regardless of what i may be doing at that time!

-Body blocking and TK
The most i see of these are completely on accident but those who are trying to do it should be killed and warned much like stealing if someone will not comply to the rules i feel that punishment is in need.

-Having fun
i will never go out of my way to make another players experience with this amazing community a bad one. i will always be respectful and polite even tho i have a so to say different scene of humor. i think that everyone should have the best experience with the panda community and should be respected no matter what skill level you are!


I hope that this could help clarify some of the things i was missing! hope this works :p
 
Having played with you many-a-time before, I know that you mean well when being a part of the community. You abide by the rules, and on the off chance that you happen to break one (I.E. an accidental steal) you apologize and do what you can to make sure it doesn't happen again. I've seen you warn players who steal not to do so again, which is something that I believe is a good property for someone to have when applying to be a DB admin.

That being said, as of current, we have 7 DB admins for TX (with a few watching over NY as well), and two active Admin applications for DB TX-- should both of you get accepted, that would potentially mean a total of 9 DB admins for these servers, and honestly that's a rather high number. However, a vast majority of our DB admins aren't very active at all, so having some new faces who actually play the game rather continuously and can answer calls when needed is something we are in desperate need of. I think you fit this role rather well.

Having read over your re-written/added punishments and ideologies, I believe that you're off to a good start when it comes to punishment times for various offenses. However, I will make a small note that you're pushing for perm bans/comms far too early. This, of course, can be easily remedied through whomever is assigned to be your mentor should you be accepted, as they will teach you all that you might need to know about punishment times and so on. So, as I stated earlier, you're already on a good path for what you currently showed us for ban lengths and whatnot-- this is a very good thing.

Overall, having experienced what you're like in-game and reading over your current policies, I believe that I'd be happy to accept you into the DB team. +1 on my end.
 
  • Agree

I really dont know what to say other then thank you! everyone in this comunity is amazing and i love you all :D i can say if i do become admin the only thing you will see outta me is greatness!
 
  • Friendly

That is much better, a couple notes.

6th ban for all ban types are always permanent. This includes comms. We do start at 12 hours for stealing, and 60 min for comms.

Trial admins are required to obtain a demo recording of cheaters, the demo must be submitted to the mentor, or any relative full admin. Since trials cannot permanently ban any player, any perma must be requested to the mentor. Thus, hackers should be banned for at least three days to accommodate for the mentor's online schedule.
 
Alright cool. Thank you so much for all of your help. If i do somehw become an admin i will always keep that inmind!
 
I've gathered my data on him, and let me just say. He's absolutely one of the greatest players I've met just from my tiny three hour experience in the server with him. A few personalities I've jotted down that describes Butters.
  • Polite
  • Kind
  • Serious in an event of people disturbing others.
  • Positive
  • Soft to those who have been bullied constantly by annoying bollocks.
  • Cheery and entertaining
  • Honest
  • Determined
  • Cheery
List goes on, but those I would say are just some of the more important one up.


Thoughts of Application and his Gameplay.

His application in the beginning seemed a bit rushed and sloppy, but all was forgiven when he brought in the full rest of his resume later on. Showing his knowledge of the rules and dedication which is mixed in his "chilled" and cheery words is very good for a possible future admin to have.

During my dodgeball experience with him. He acted very "chilled" throughout the game, interacting with other players, and aiding the admins with truthful information of those who are disrupting the dodgeball environment. He has a strong dedication to the Texas Dodgeball server, being willing taking his time to enjoy and also educate others of the word of Panda. Also known as the rules. Which a couple of players didn't heed his warnings and got Spanked up pretty badly.

He doesn't just know the basic rules of Panda. He understands them. Which the usual newer players apparently struggle to understand sometimes. He'll fill in the gaps where, perhaps, other admins aren't able to do.


Final Results.

I believe he very much would be an outstanding addition in our team, and I wish you the best of luck of getting accept in.

I vote to accept one mad butters application. +1
