I like triplebams application:



The first thing he says is what would make him a good admin (noted in the first paragraph). then he explains what makes him different from everyone else (sleeping pattern) and why he would be especially good to be an admin.

I'll admit that the "there isn't enough admins" excuse is a main reason someone might want admin, but that's no excuse for not posting more, and distinguishing themselves to the admin team. Not everyone can be admin and you have to stand out.

I only said it in the way of if I had my own clan, having people put on their app for becoming a server admin "no admins online" is an extremely piss poor reason. Before I started here in the last clan I was in 99% of the people asking for admin had the same exact reasons.... and at the top of each and every single one is "there is no admin online so id like....". Sorry but seriously you have to do better then that. Theres a report forum.... its almost never used. People fail to realize that server adminning is more then enforcing rules within the server. Regardless if people have powers or not they should always enforce the rules of their servers.

If people take up the effort on their own showing themselfs they are capable of admin duties without having the powers is more then satisfactory. "I want" and not doing the work before hand just shows you how much effort they are willing to put forth. Just cause an asshole decides to ruin the game and break the rules doesn't mean that an admin must be there, it doesn't matter if they get banned on the spot or later on, they are getting banned and they can never return. Eventually the retards get the banhammer. Posting in the abuse / report forums and having an admin ban them at a later time is just as good.

In the end this isn't my clan but im sure as hell happy to be here and a part of it. It doesn't matter what I feel about something, Im bound to all rules just like everyone else is.

P.S. My old clan are a bunch of assholes..... I leave on a good note but when I come back a year later and say "hi" I get banned for no reason. Yeah they are fuckwads and I still hate them to this day.

Honestly you could start with getting your community tab fixed. Its nothing personal or anything but as of right now I don't want you becoming an admin just for that fact. The only time you are able to admin is while only you are playing. If your not ingame then theres no other way for someone to get in contact with you. Your only effective when your ingame and thats it. You must be reachable via steam friends when your not ingame, but since you can't be contacted at all then that cancels out your purpose.

Contact steam and have them haul ass, bitch as much as you want since your a paying customer and you have the right for this issue to be resolved within a reasonable amount of time. Don't just post on the forums since majority of those people I bet don't even work for steam officially. Contact them directly be it phone or e-mail.

Well... I'm not a paying customer. I have a promotional account, hence why I have free games added on to it periodically. And I'm not talking the little puzzle games. Half-Life 2, Episode 1, Episode 2, TF2, all id's and Valve's older classics, X3, Longest Journey, etc. The first time I opened a ticket they didn't know what the issue was. The second time they identified it as a special subscription type that simply wasn't given Community tools, then fell off the radar - even after opening the ticket back up to ask again, no response.

If the outcome of my next request comes down to that.. don't discount me for that alone. If I have to buy TF2 and put it on my normal account in order to be an admin, I'll do so. But I'm honestly not going to do that until then since it would mean - besides paying for a game I already legitimately have - all my stats would be reset, unlocks, relocked, and everything I have been able to configure in the Community, lost.

Something somewhat more topical as it relates to general administrating...
Do you show up as "signed in" to Steam whenever you're logged into it? I ask simply because I'm always logged into it - 24/7. Someone asking for help while I'm at work won't do anyone any good.
