+1. 

While the past is concerning, as someone who has discussed this further in private with Jack, I absolutely do believe that he is truly sorry(not to say that anyone owes him forgiveness at all because of this, people are completely valid in holding him accountable for how he's hurt them, however, it is something I feel that he is sincerely sorry for) and feels genuine remorse for his actions in the past. His willingness to take accountability and reach out(which by the way, I do not believe was done just to put in a staff application) to candidly apologize for everything he's done after all this time instead of coming back and sweeping it under the rug, shows growth and maturity regardless of if he's been forgiven or not in my eyes.

Granted of course, I was not present for the event that is being mentioned here, and I have been rather inactive on the server since his return, so I can not in good faith say that I am 100% certain that his behaviors have fully changed since back then - however, as I've gotten to know Jack more outside of TTT the past few weeks, I can say that I am certain that he's very serious about this and that I haven't seen any of the negatives about him that have been brought up in this thread. He eagerly wants another shot at being a part of the staff team, which he's expressed to me several times, and I feel that he should be given that opportunity. 

And of course, just to reiterate what others have said, people should be allowed to show just how much they've grown from their past, and it shouldn't bar them from being a more serious member of the community(rand...). With the usual response time from Dink, I'm going to assume it'll be a bit longer before anything further is decided on this, which will give him more of the needed time to prove to everyone that he is dedicated to this, make amends, and show that he has truly grown from years ago. I believe that trusted is a great spot for him to start at to further grow within the community. 

Best of luck! :)
