This is essentially going to come down to community trust, staff trust, and how Rand's actions with the staff chat leak/inciting of drama have affected his trust. Rand has already proven his capabilities of a staff member via his past service and his present activity, and it really comes down to whether he can rejoin the staff discord/be trusted with the material therewithin.

I will remind everyone here that what Rand leaked was not critical disussion regarding rule changes/economy changes/staff apps/unban discussions. Any leaks in this area frankly warrants a permanent bar from staffing. The fact that Rand was not issued such a bar refelcts that. However, the fact that any area of staff chat was leaked, and was leaked with the result of the incitement of major drama. The action was at best, a very mishandled attempt at staff accountability (and should have gone to the admins instead) and at worst, intentional incitement of drama and spreading misinformation.

Can this trust be rebuilt? Yes. Has he been working on it? Yes.
Is it time to come back?
I'm not sure.

To me, it seems like a good opportunity to come back, perhaps with limited/no discord access temporarily, and serve the server well - as that is what you wish to do. Hell, I'd be more than happy to relay info you send me to the watchlist. But I am biased in Rand's favor, as he taught me a good portion of what I know, and helped me learn to staff in the early days.

What I will say is we need to bear in mind that Rand has only two incidents total that I am aware of - the leaking of staff chat/inciting drama incident, and the drama tierlist incident - this incident of which, Rand frankly wasn't much of a factor. His punishment of a two week mute was probably still excessive even today, as the most he did was major shitposting/inciting drama.

Rand has been incident free since June. Whether 3 months is enough time is up for you, the community to comment on, and ultimately for the admins to decide.
I would lke to see Rand back in a staffing position, even if just on the server. I feel that he can be trusted to be a trusted, even if in rank only.
If sponsorships were still a thing, I would sponsor NotRand.

I will respect the admin's decision in this matter, and I encourage everyone else to do so.
That being said, I will give a +1 promotion to Trusted in server given the stipulation of not being added to staff discord, -0 being added fully trusted unrestricted based on other's feedback. And I am happy to contribute to a one-way flow of information such that NotRand can report infromation appropriately.

Best of luck in your applicaiton, Rand.
