I think this would be a fine role for Beef as she is quite good at giving formal responses to things. There are times that Beef has some bias and puts on the pressure when she thinks she's right, but that is not uncommon with people. Beefling is very responsive and is on the server very often. I think Beef would do well at assisting busier admins by taking the less time-consuming tasks that she wants to take. Personally, I think even if your reason for admin is to speed up the processing of some more minor issues, that's enough of a reason. We are a gmod server, and people don't have time or patience in this day and age to wait for responses or messages from higher staff. If some random makes a request on the forums and it takes 3+ weeks, they are gonna forget about the server.how tf she gonna be the voice of the admins without a mic
I honestly had thought about who I would pick if we needed a new admin, and it's tricky because we ain't got nobody anymore. I honestly had thought that I would want someone more experienced than Beefling at first, but our current mod team is kind of lacking in activity and experience. Beefling is very good at being an unbiased staff member in many situations that I have seen. (besides her prop killing rdm reports)
Many people have said that these are things that potentially could be solved at a mod level. This is probably true, but having someone at the same level as admins when speaking out on staff chat problems, talking to players about ongoing issues, and communicating in general, it feels better for someone with the admin badge to be the one speaking. If our other admins are good at technical and behind-the-scenes work, then having someone take the pain of dealing with speaking can help them take a break.
Also after being here around a year and a half Beefling has around 13,000 posts in the discords so I think she has a lot of talking practice. (edit because i forgot to say +1)
