Section 1 - Biased Behavior

I good amount of people I have spoken with are heavily against the idea of you getting this position due to biases they have either seen third person or actually witnessed themselves. The mentality that you have in-game is a good reflection of how you would be on the throne and that's just worrying. As a short example I can include you T-Baiting and swinging barrels near people on flood lights and having a laugh, but if someone you don't personally care for does the same exact thing to you it is grounds for an autoslay.

Same logic applies with use of commands! One of the people who I actually helped get trusted assumed that I was moaning in my mic when I was trying to say something before getting cut off by dying (Cause he heard 0.5 seconds of what I was saying as I got mowed down). This only happened conveniently the same day you warned me for the same thing even though it was a completely different circumstance. Also when this player is beatboxing in his mic, you will jokingly say stop instead of taking action. Now picture this I make some short but disruptive sound of the same nature, than you would use that as grounds for a micspam warn.

Section 2 - Cult of supporters

Consciously and unconsciously I have seen people take on roles as being keyboard warrior digital bodyguard whatever's to you no matter what it may be. I made 1 post on the forums once trying to appeal a warn you issues: and after my closing statement about me thinking this is the reason that you would not be a good person in position on staff, the flood gates opened. I can't make a single post on this community page anymore without someone just -1ing it for fun. Most of the people that I have spoken to that dislike you are afraid to even say anything because they know that they are going to be put on a target list as soon as they mention anything.

Section 3 - Finding reasons to punish people

It goes without saying if you are having a bad enough day that it may have influence on your actions, then you probably should choose to step back and take a breather rather than let it become an issue to everybody else on the server. There are days I will see you come on and issue warns left and right. Something on the server that will be common as a joke when many friends are around is a T defibbing an Inno (Which I should add almost never adds a game delay). You took the liberty of getting someone banned for this with awarns rather than talking it out or maybe leaving a verbal warn. You need to have that mindset of when someone is going off script and not jump to conclusions without analyzing the situation first.

Section 4 - Not trying to understand people

If someone that you don't particularly like tried to patch things up or at least try to know you on better terms, you will flat out refuse to even say anything back to them or acknowledge that they are trying to make things civil. You can pick to dislike anyone for any reason, but you should at least make an effort to know your community better rather than just interact with someone for the sole purpose of issuing warns. This also ties into communication standards. Your job as a moderator is to be open to help anyone who is present on the community. If it takes a literal thread to be created on the forum like a ticket request, that is an issue.

Section 5 - Conclusion

There isn't anything that would be benefited from you being one step below owner. Your contributions are slim to non and there are way too many red flags. If people can't even feel comfortable talking about your shortcomings without being put on a community shit list: that's a problem. There is a big polarization on the whole TTT section of Dinklebergs because many of the players who have not been on your good side can't even enjoy coming here anymore without you finding a reason to start shit. Remember, in the end Garry's Mod is a game and taking it too seriously makes it feel more like a corporate job rather than something people can enjoy.

And I know this post is going to get absolutely torn apart by -1s, I am pretty much over it. If nothing is going to change the way I am seen here from resenting you I might as well make a statement about all the concerns to people who either need reassurance or haven't been in the loop

Anyways to anyone who made it to the bottom of this novel, thank you for taking time to read this.
