First of all, thank you Jammin for your feedback. I wanna address a few things you said.
“Quite a few of the rules you have asked about in the past are in the guidelines, and are often simple situations (e.g. racism, RDM, etc.) that should be easily punished per the guidelines”
I honestly can’t say I remember the rdm questions that I may have asked about. I know that when I do ask in staff chat about it is because I really don’t understand the situation. And about racism or related, it’s because if I am being honest, I don’t really know many slurs, or usually even more “complex” words that are rarely used so perhaps when someone says something that I suspect could be racist, or derogatory, or similar, I wanna be sure it is for the reason stated above. Because another issue is, things I see wrong the rest of you, don’t. So if y’all don’t it’s probably me and how I am interpreting whatever was said.
I know how to act on these things. It’s not only a problem of me doubting, but I ALWAYS wanna make sure whatever decision I am taking is the correct one.
-Abuse of staff commands -
“kicking 1 person trying to revive the server for timefarming”
This situation I remember precisely. I don’t remember the person telling me they were arranging their inventory, but I do remember them being on the server for hours, no one joining (I knew this, they had been on since around 7.30AM my time, when the server usually dies, and it had probably been at least 2 hours, soI knew for a fact no one was gonna join). Anyways, you forgot to mention how I didn’t even bring him being afk up, but it was kizzy, a mod at the time, who said to kick him for that. It’s all in the discord. So as he asked, I figured I just would.
“Has sometimes issued a joke KOS via relay (which could impact the integrity of the game)”
I have done this. So have/do many but that doesn’t excuse me doing it. If you check, even though I have personally never been told about it causing any problems, I definitely toned it down. 2 occasions since March, and before that, mostly early February.
“you are given more commands, notably !bring and ulx csay, abuse of said command could have significant impacts on the integrity of the game.”
I honestly only am thinking about the !fspec command. I have no idea how many times I have had to ask in admin chat for afks to be forced to spectate because they haven’t been afk long enough to be kicked, and as most die early in the round, they aren’t automatically forced to spec so they still get roles and THAT interferes with the game.
- !bring would only be used if someone were stuck, or maybe, like other staff do, when the round ends. But I have to be on spectator so I don’t see myself using it if it isn’t to unstuck someone.
- ulx csay, honestly, idc. I get annoyed myself when some use it to bitch about being dead (no offense) and I would rather tell people not to delay directly, as I do now as trusted, than through this. So I see no real benefit to using this.
“singular incidents”
-Manipulation via harassment claim involving a community member (1)
-Toxic joke in staff chat in the context of our recent community ban (2)
-Overreaction to minor/non issues/inciting drama (3)
-Targeting of suspicious user/wasting staff resources to target said user (4)
1. As I told you privately, I have no idea what/which member you are talking about. I don’t want to speculate on my response so I won’t answer here.
2. I won’t try and defend myself, I made a bad joke regarding a touchy subject that I shouldn’t have, period. I owned up to my mistake too.
3. I don’t think I incite drama. If anything, I like to discuss things privately/on the discord if it regards the team. I’d say I normally don’t overreact, but when I do is because I like to *highlight* the importance that something has to me. This is all I can say about this here for two reasons. First, I can’t think of any situation so I can’t explain myself. Also, I figure this is not the place to discuss this.
4. I particularly feel like this one is definitely not appropriate to discuss here. I just wanna make sure I clarify, you calling it a “waste” of staff resources seems a bit too much, and that no one but me, maybe HONG and Battons know everything there was to it. I really want to say more, but I know this is not the place.
Now that I have cleared that out. I wanna say that, when I did troll for example about the slays, it was with the other person's consent, I stopped when asked, and only did it to a person who also is a staff member, so not only could I unslay, but they could too, and they did, except for one time. So at most, I misused my powers, and it hasn’t happened again since (over 2 months ago).
I don’t think it’s me being inmature, it’s me being silly/stupid and trolling with people who I know aren’t bothered. But again, I haven't done that in a long while.
