1) I understand the ban appeal and staff app parts of being an admin, but like others have said, what SPECIFICALLY with ADMIN PERMS would you be able to do? What prevents you from doing these things currently? I wasn't quite able to clearly differentiate why you cant do some of these current things (Like reach out to newer staff and help them on your own etc).

1) Specifically with admin perms, I would be able to implement the changes I had in mind by the reception that people gauge on these changes from the presentation of the idea, to the test server, and possibly even to the main server if it serves a purpose and it enhances the server. What really prevents me from doing these is just the ability to implement them. I am able to make suggestions which I have done both in the staff and main discord as well as the test server. I also had currently reached out to newer staff and helped them on a 1 on 1 conversation to help them with newer commands/tools that may be presented and something that I wanted to continue to work on going forward. I didn't state that I wasn't able to, but something that I had planned to do and currently do. 

2) I feel that in the times i've seen you staff (this can be claimed as baseless as I don't keep specific evidence of these as I don't care to a certain extent) you've been extra lenient with some friends or willing to give leeway to specific friends, and although you don't have to come down to the situations that contain bias so often as a mod and your friends being staff, I worry that as admin, with rising issues against certain staff members that you may consider a friend, you would lean towards the side of saying "its not abuse" and leaving it, rather than working with said player with so many complaints about them, and working on how they can improve their rep around server etc. This is word jumble asf but hope it makes sense

2) I've been working on this beforehand previously when I had first staff because I did have leniency for my staff friends and friends who were close. As I had gone through T-Mod and Mod, I have been more open-minded to being able to hold others to the same standard as a regular player coming into and out of the server/community. As recently with Goose's and Jawa's thread, both of  them and I are great buddies. I think they are wonderful people, but I held them accountable for their warns, despite my opinion on them outside of the community. I had a conversation with Goose on whether he should post his unban thread and I said if you feel that it was unnecessary, go for it. If you have any evidence of what you feel is abuse from the staff member or abuser, make sure to dm it to a staff member or admin to let them know.(Since this convo was around the idea that Damien had been using his powers unintentionally) Same goes for my staff members who I am very close to, especially with Damien, Skullfire, and other staff members. I hold them accountable for their mistakes, currently with Damien and his mistake for the warn and a mistake of Skullfire's from last month which was a misstep in his part, but no fully his mistake. I make sure in the server I hold them to the same rules as everyone else so it's not unfair for the players nor the staff team. I hope to show that both inside the server and community that I uphold the same rules, even if it's my closest friends. 

Edit 2: I wanted to add this real quick and say that I have worked with Skullfire to make sure they know how donor abuses work with A-warns and with Damien on what he could do to improve on some aspects of staffing. 

Edit: I hope that I can explain it well and I think I had the right concept of what you mentioned. Thank you for the comment voidzz!
