+1. I think the resignation/re-apply was understandable given the circumstances and I think reliability would not be a concern. As someone with admin experience who has staffed here with clear familiarity of the rules I think the server side moderation is of zero concern in terms of your ability to handle that. For me, where you have really shined is your input and handling of conflict. Neutrality is one thing, but your ability to communicate in a way that finds common ground upon things that seem diametrically opposed on the surface has probably been instrumental in straight up saving this community (along with several Randposts, shoutout). Having you as a mod I think will help further improve relations and prevent things from reaching flashpoints as well. On top of that, you also take initiative to communicate and talk with people about things which this community has historically lacked in many cases.

Hello Mr.Highman I'm glad to see you apply for the rank of Moderator.
I'd like to comment a bit on it.
When you first joined the server, I thought you would just apply because you were used to being staff and not because you actually wanted to help out. Well, I'm glad to admit that I was wrong. Ever since you started playing on the server as a regular player and donor, you've tried to help in any way or form. You'd ping staff for cheaters or rule breakers and provide them with evidence; if there wasn't any staff, you'd gag or mute people who would slur and try to help new players by explaining the rules and giving them useful information on how to play the game and binds that they might need or use. This is when you were just a player or donor.
Trusted:
Shortly after you posted your trusted app, I decided to do so as well. After we both got accepted, I got the pleasure to interact and acquaint myself with you. Back then, you helped me a lot with handling RDM reports and different situations where I was unsure what to do and how to go about staffing. You've basically taught me how to work entirely.
Tmod:
Then, when you applied and got accepted as Tmod, you handled most situations really well. You always kept your cool and stayed neutral, no matter what. Your approach to every person was amazing. You'd always go out of your way to explain why x, y, or z were good or bad. If anyone had a question, you'd try to help them as best as possible. You're probably one of the few staff members who reaches out and explains any questions without stonewalling or ignoring the other person as a whole. I'd like to comment on the short-lived resignation. I still think you shouldn't have resigned in the first place, but I understand how taxing and mentally draining it was for every party in the drama. After you resigned, you still didn't stop helping and being a positive influence in the community, which speaks volumes about your dedication to making the server a better and safer place for every new and old member.
I hope that with the bump in rank, you'll continue to be an awesome staff member, continue to help the community with your amazing insight on different topics and situations, and also continue to train newer staff on how to properly represent Dinkleberg's TTT staff team. You have a solid +1 from me!
Now that that is out of the way, I'd like to say something as your friend:
You're one of the few people I can say I'm friends with in the community, and I'm happy I got to meet you and play with you. I hope you continue to be such an amazing and awesome person. (If you ban me, I'm taking back every kind word and posting a ban request thread.)

+1.
In my short time here you've shown yourself to be calmed, rational, prudent, and (most importantly) reasonable in relation to the context of each situation dealt with which I could only say for a few of the staff here. (I'll add, this isn't a slght to any of the other staff as each I've observed have strengths to compliment any weaknesses they might have, subjectively of course.)

+1 I would make a long heartfelt post but I don't think you need it and you aren't worth the effort otherwise. (good staff, play server, good times, good attitude, good).
It is not okay to literally tell people their opinions are wrong because they disagree.
