(Context: During the whole Reina drama, something was allowed to happen I disagreed with, I pinged the relevant person asking "The fuck?!". During this time I had no interaction with Panda outside of getting this.)

I said this because I disagreed with your disagreement. if you are concerned about this statement wait till @Viviel?!? pulls out the 52 page wattpad.

My behavior is due to the responses to harassment in this server being garbage. I firmly think we give more chances for shitty actions and behaviors as just a gmod server than what should be given. It is an online community there are millions of others and thousands still around on this game alone. A ban is not as heavy as people make it seem, you are not banned from interacting in the community (in 90% of cases) and can appeal it infinite amounts of times (99% of cases) and you can go play gmod still we don't lock ur account or anything like that.

@chapman i am bad at quoting and replying, but I dealt with a lot of frustrations before I resigned and mainly resigned because I had a lot on my plate and was doing a lot of discussions and needed the break. I also thought that a lot of newer staff had been promoted and I wasn't as needed. However, as we saw a lot of people resigned and now I still play, gmod is a good place to socialize and vibe compared to many other games I play. There are a lot more issues with the summer crowd and the lack of staff cannot handle it.

@Foxka I was taking small breaks during my time as mod and before, I mostly resigned to try and force myself into a longer break. Also past month I have more hours than many current staff members combined to be fair.

I’m gonna remain neutral for now overall, and touch on some of these comments. Starting with the smaller stuff, on server side I never saw much in the way of issues with your staffing. I would prefer given the time since being a little while, starting back at trusted personally given it’s been a few months or even tmod for unresignations at least a month or so later for mod+ with clean staff record, but that’s a discussion for another day. 

In response to your screenshot do agree that this server needs to get way better at handling harassment, however the statement posted is not something I would like to see going forward from active staff. To lead off with the statement of “we should increase harassment punishment” with civilly stated reasons as to why should be the norm of things, not ad hominem insults. As for the 52-page wattpad mentioned, to be realistic, that will likely turn into part 2 of the Google doc thread if posted. No matter what valid points are made by any party in it, it’s more likely than not gonna turn into people going at each other’s throats once again and then there will be calm when people that are actually terrible and threats to other members expose themselves somehow. 

So, not entirely opposed to the notion of you staffing and I do think you have some good things to say but I would like to see more effort to resolve conflict than fanning the flames, mildly or not, in times of turmoil if you do end up getting a rank back.
