You have improved quite a bit since your last application in my opinion. I think that most of these issues are things that come with age and with a bit of extra responsibility thrown onto you I believe that you could continue to grow. However, I am going to remain neutral on this application. Your efforts aren't going unnoticed, but there is also definitely some room to grow. Just continue to keep working and take criticism from this application to improve in ways that you may not have thought you needed to. I wish you the best of luck!
Hi Damien, thank you for applying to join the TTT staff team.
I think you have potential, but I don't think you are ready.
Pros:
-Community support
-Generally friendly player
-No logged behavioral incidents in TTT (warns/bans)
-Tend to know the rules/follow them
Cons:
-As staff you have to be prepared to go against an entire server at times to enforce a rule (e.g. grapple exploit, slurs, etc.). I too am afraid that you would be too likely to go with the flow.
-Inappropriate trolling at times outside of the server - 3 strikes for NSFW content in the discord, 5 strikes overall, 2 in past month. This isn't really as much of an issue as discord has much stricter rules regarding NSFW, but it is something I wanted to note here.
One more question: As staff you have to take action against your friends and your enemies. Can you do so fairly? Believe me, it is very hard to issue a punishment/rule against someone you know and enjoy playing with.
Overall I am a +0. I can see that you are genuinely interested in becoming staff, and have worked hard on becoming more mature such that you can handle being staff. But I'm just not sure if you are ready. I wish you luck on this application, and if it is denied, I encourage you to work harder on backing off the trolling, and show us you are capable with your actions in the discord/forums/server.
Ditto with Jammin and Battons
I feel like you would be too heavy-handed in some circumstances and too light-handed in others. Altho you are in a much better position than your last 2 staff apps. You need to work on not getting too involved sometimes taking a step back and remaining unbiased. In saying that you are helpful and use !gag responsibly. Just Understand that you will be held to a higher standard if you get staff.
I believe that Damien is up to the challenge with a little guidance from the current staff.

Not gonna vote but just wanted to...
1. mention the fact that you got angry over me jokingly saying "you shouldn't post a song about not wearing a seatbelt, it promotes dangerous activity :/" not even a month ago.
2. point out the fact that pretty much every +1 is saying that you are too reactive and have yet to fix that, but that you can work on it once you're staff, even mentioning the fact that you'll probably abuse your privileges... that just means you aren't ready for staff.
3. point out the fact that you haven't shown that you'll stop saying slurs, you've just said you'll stop in this thread.

Thank you for replying and bringing up these issues!
1. I didn't read your sarcasm, that Is my mistake and I take full responsibility for being a dumbass. We did handle this privately and Concluded it on good terms.
2. I don't remember reading a reply mentioning that I'd abuse my powers? And It does take time to fix an issue with one's actions/behavior. I am always looking for ways to fix myself since I feel like I'm the furthest thing from perfect.
3. How am I supposed to show that I've stopped saying slurs other than saying I will/I have stopped saying them? No offense but I feel like this point is already brought up in another reply of mine. If you wish to discuss further about this point, make another reply and I'll do my best to give an answer.
1. I apologized for posting the link to an autism symptom quiz, but that doesn't change the fact that you did overreact and take a lighthearted joke about seatbelt safety as a direct attack.
2. You need to fix these things before you become staff. The fact that you applied while these issues were still happening just shows a lack of maturity and self-awareness imo. The abuse comment was someone saying you would be "heavy handed".
3. Rather than accepting you saying you'll stop saying slurs and slur baiting as a solution to that problem, I believe the solution should be waiting and seeing if that behavior actually does change.
