The issue with J@ck clearly stems from something he did in his past, and whether or not it's too insurmountable.
As someone who would consider myself friends with him, I'd like to say that he has made progress in not acting out in that way. He and I aren't necessarily close, but we do talk to each other pretty routinely.
I mean, look at someone like tiefling for example. Tiefling, iirc, was quite an annoying troll when she was first on this server and now is one of the three admins on the server. This is not a jab at tiefling, but the point is that she made a change and decided to want to contribute. There are several cases of people who did things like this. My point is people can see the error of their ways and change something. You won't ever be able to recognize that though if you never give someone a chance to prove themselves.
I can get where Lacer is coming from with not being comfortable with it since he was the target of Jack's incident when that occurred. I also think that trying to define someone from one major mistake isn't fair to that person. I also understand where people like TDawg say with how it's demoralizing to have to wait forever for an app because of the "limbo" state the server's top brass is in currently (no disrespect, just true).
I also agree with Battons. Jack, I think you've made progress with this, but I still sometimes believe you can come across as a "hothead" although I've known you long enough to just know that you're blunt. I think it's not the matter of what you say, but rather how you deliver it, if that makes any sense.
My thoughts on the matter? I legitimately believe that Jack can do a good job as trusted. He has been in a position of power before, he handled it well then, all the "falling out" stuff happened after. He's made efforts to be a positive member of this community not only on TTT but also on Discord and on the Forums. I also don't think he's just doing it as an "act" to get power again, he's being sincere.
+1. Best of luck to you Jack, and if you don't get it this time, I think you'll be able to prove to others that you've changed with a second one, if you decide to reapply.
I am
