im not gonna pick sides here but if you dont like someone u can just shut up and ignore it, or.....stop playing gmod w them. its a very simple concept, i dont think it necessitates an 18 page thesis about why tiefling is bad, i mean im not a big fan of her but like.......this is next level hating. if i cared more i would write my own dissertation on why this is bad but i think its been summed up already as to why this is a colossal waste of time, there are other gmod servers, u are not bound here

I’ve only skimmed thru most of this stuff but I see no abuse here, looks like the majority of those screenshots have been taken out of context and apparently some was leaked from staff chat. Oh and there’s nothing wrong with staffing two communities, it’s just a gmod server. Just because you have a staff rank doesn’t mean you sold your soul and can’t do anything else in life.
I think you’re just trying to make us burn the place down. Genuinely, please stop.

Apologies to everybody in the betting pool. So many of you put wagers on "3 days or less" being the maximum time before someone made another stupid drama post, that nobody will be winning anything. I will refund your bets shortly. Congratulations to the few that placed a side bet that the drama thread would "pretend to be against making more drama/stirring the pot while being absolutely intended to make more drama/stir the pot"
Thaye/anybody else who has aspirations of making a TTT community, now is the time to act because I'd be shocked if Dinks lasted another year

The two-server thing is up to Mr Dinks how he'd like to handle it.
I don't really know what to think of Tiefling, when she was running for admin I imagined she'd be trigger-happy with bans since she promised changes to the rules to make them less vague and a promise to clear up harassment and other shit, but it seems very one-sided on who gets punished and who doesn't and its all around who plays with her off server and who doesn't.
It's all mostly suspicions based on bad communication, but Tiefling is guilty of being awful to talk to or get anything out of.
I've tried talking to multiple people on why some people get punished for small things and others get zero punishment or something small for big things and the name I do get back a lot is "Tiefling", which bothers me purely because you can't advocate to end harassment and help victims but then turn a blind eye or roll your eyes to other victims.
Also, being involved in Witch Hunts shouldn't be ignored, others were punished for their involvement.
tldr; staff should police equally regardless of friendships, and I don't think Tief can do that (nor can some others).
EDIT: most my beliefs come from being on the outside looking in and can change on knowing the truth, its having an opinion without knowing things 100% but here we are.

This community is falling the landslide and at a very fast pace with all this dumb shit, when will we all grow up and put these things behind us?

that's crazy so you banned my alt based on just false evidence then
but hell yeah I tried circumventing the alt checker, because I wanted to understand how invasive it was as well as just generally how it worked. I won't go into details about how it works, however, yes I wanted to make sure that even on the same internet connection, connected at the same time it wouldn't pick it up. Funnily enough, the one round that both accounts were on at the same time I was T on both. In no way was this done with malicious intent. I personally really enjoy playing on alt accounts because it allows you to just play on your own, completely unbothered. Playing on an alt also allows me to play my steam deck on my main account while also sitting in spectator waiting for something to do. With that being said, at the same time, it is just fun messing with people who can't actually figure out who you are.
secondly, I'm done with this whole argument of me misconstruing your words. At the end of the day, you will trust players more if they leak out bad actors from private discords, which you still stand by. You've made that evident with the screenshots you've made alongside the ones I've given. All I'm asking you to do is to stop using evidence from outside discords to try and get people banned! Don't act like I didn't see that leaked admin chat you put out earlier, that's damning enough. The last time people were recording others without their consent in private discords didn't go well either btw.
I can't prove what I don't have. I do not have access to discords I am not in, nor do I have anyone to leak that information to me. The only way I can tell you that this exists is based on the comments on it on this thread alongside me reaching out questioning individuals whom I thought were in it.
There are more, but I didn't want to leak more admin chat. While I do not currently have the evidence in front of me, there are other cases where you did not understand the rules properly enough to enforce them as well.
also what's your deal with the lack of a date and time on that its a meme, I didn't even make it
at the end of the day, making an 18-page thread is totally overkill for this whole thing. However, I wanted to show a pattern of behavior over the past few years, of course some of the points aren't ban-worthy. I'm not trying to get you banned.
I did not know how to approach trying to get this evidence out there and I will be the first to admit that I overcomplicated the process and unintentionally made the evidence I was trying to present more of a mess than anything. I just have a problem with you attempting to police outside discords, participate/help kick-start another community as current acting admin as well as just allowing certain things to occur while at the same time being overly critical of other groups.

I will give my comments to Tiefling and Noire directly out of respect for not making this more of a shit show, once I get time to review.
I'm only commenting to indicate that while I was asked to preview this document, as Noire wanted my viewpoint before posting, I didn't get time before he posted last night.
Since this rivals my own in terms of long winded essays, I want to clarify that I am not involved with the making of this document.

You (or whoever you included it in your doc from) went out of your/their way to edit out the date to hide the context of the comment and tried to paint it as a completely different statement than what it was.
