To address jumping the gun in general, I recognize that banning someone is a much higher bar than kick. banning involves temporary to permanent removal. As such, it is a much higher bar than kick, where kicking  allows people back. again, I am sure that I can and will learn when banning is and is not appropriate from you, Koshka, Ryzif, and the rest of the staff team.

This line of thinking somewhat concerns me, but I could be interpreting what you mean incorrectly.  It's true that Trusted do not have the power to ban, but the kick is absolutely meant to be used in lieu when higher staff are not able to get on to ban someone.  The evidence Trusted must collect to kick someone for something like ghosting, hacking, racism, etc. when the protocol calls for a ban still requires the same amount of evidence as if you were able to ban them.  Can you explain what you meant by this?

I already contacted you via DMs and will try to work with you Sunday night.  I don't want you to feel like I'm hammering you for making mistakes because everyone makes mistakes. What's important is that you learn from these mistakes.  I'm just bringing these up since they occurred within a week of your application opening.  You are definitely open to working with me and other staff which is the most important thing I'm looking for.

two things I meant here.


1. I mis-worded what I meant. A kick holds literal less evidence than a ban (i.e. perma ban) because it approaches sooner than a ban. it also requires less evidence in that it itself is usually part of the evidence group that holds a ban. (I.e. data set of kick always within data set of ban1, and data set of a ban1 always within dataset of banPerma, for example). kicking someone is way different than banning them forever is what my 7am brain was trying to say and failing.
2. That being said, as I mentioned at a different part, I did a bad and improperly used the kick command. I recognize this is/was a mistake
