I've had no issues with Laced's staffing abilities on TTT--he's quick and effective in spotting and punishing for racism, inappropriate conversations, etc., which strikes me as being the important skill set for Discord staff.

As I spoke to in my response to his Tmod app, I recognize that Laced can be blunt. While I don't think it's reached the extent of being disrespectful, if people are actively voicing to you that it comes across in a way that they don't like, maybe it's worth reevaluating how you respond to people, even if you find their takes to be "abnormally bad". Sometimes it's worth giving people a little extra kindness.

Also I'm not sure if there's some explicit Discord staff protocol regarding this, but I'm of the opinion that Discord staff shouldn't have people who are in the Discord blocked. That seems like it would prevent one from being able to effectively moderate. I've been informed that you can block someone and still see the messages they send in the server, so disregard this point.

Anyway all that being said, I'm personally a +1 as I have faith in Laced's ability to staff and feel he would make a good contribution to moderating the Discord. At the same time, I think it's worth listening to what people say about how you come across to them (even if you think they have shitty takes) and maybe making some changes accordingly.
