Concealing rule breaking that you were directly informed about is relevant feedback for potential staff. I asked for clarification as they had previously refused to give an honest answer.

Is Foxka obligated to answer your question? This is a legitimate question, I'm not defending Foxka. He was not staff at the time of the incident so he, in my opinion, did not need to tell you, or any other admin, what was going on. Would it have been helpful? Yes. Would that be the right thing to do? Sure. But was he obligated to do so? I don't believe so.

Dinks is not a business, I'm not a CEO, I don't get a paycheck. I haven't spent that much time on thaye's server, and neither of us have any desire to take anything from dinks. It's a server that is primarily for friends, but TTT as a gamemode can't be sustained by just one group of friends, so it's public for randoms to join in. Respectfully, this isn't your place (or anyone else in this thread) to worry about. Like I said, I've already told Dink about it. If he decides he has an issue with it, he'll make it known.

You are correct, Dinkleberg's is not a business, you are not a CEO, and you do not receive a paycheck. I'm glad that you, myself, and no one else gets a paycheck to staff this server. Could you imagine getting a paycheck to staff a GMod server? Anyway, you're correct that it is not my place to worry about a TTT admin staffing on another TTT server. You'll have to forgive me for being intrigued by an admin of a TTT server staffing on another TTT server. If Dinkleberg himself has an issue, I am sure he will arise from his slumber and handle it. If Dinkleberg has no issue with this, so be it. His name is on the logo, not mine.

PandaInPants, you'll have to forgive me for forgetting about the changes that the FTC made regarding non-competes last week. It is something that I thought about, but I did not do my due diligence in researching at midnight. You'll also have to forgive my ignorance in not knowing that Sir Richard Branson oversees some 400 businesses, all under the corporation that he owns and founded, not overseeing businesses that someone else owns and founded. How could I overlook the fact that someone who owns a child company through his own corporation might have a hand in how the company operates? Nevertheless, there is no earthly way that he is spending equal amounts of time overseeing all 400 companies. It is impossible. But I will digress because it is not my place, nor anyone else's place, to worry about staff members staffing other servers. But before I fully digress, I will say that it is against the law for directors and officers to be on the board of a competitor's company, something that the website you linked also states.

Then we should simply remove DNA if you can make yourself unKOSable by simply claiming you were RDMed. Enabling traitors to immunize themselves to DNA by threatening reports to anyone who kills them is not a logical conclusion, but that is what you are advocating.

Not at all what I am saying. Foxka happened to be a traitor in this specific scenario, but the principle of the matter still stands. If Player A says that they killed an RDMer (and was actually RDMed by the RDMer), and player B doesn't believe Player A and kills Player A, Player B is getting slain for RDM. It doesn't matter if Player A is a traitor or not. No one is enabling traitors to immunize themselves. No one is stopping someone from mowing down a person they don't believe. If anything, everyone is receiving the same amount of immunization. If Player B didn't see Player A kill the RDMer, and can't verify that Player A was being RDMed, they have to either believe Player A or put suspicion on Player A. This is no different than having the same weapon that was used to kill someone. You have circumstantial evidence that has yet to be proven. So you either take the situation at face value and believe what Player A has said, be skeptical and put suspicion on Player A, or shoot Player A and RDM them. Those are the only options. And if you RDM Player A, the logs should be able to very clearly tell if Player A was RDMed or not.

This is just a strawman. You can only treat everyone so fairly when only one perspective is represented in staff, and you can only have so much perspective in women's and LGBT issues if you aren't a woman or LGBT. Regardless, you are entirely misrepresenting what has been said on the matter.

If we can only treat everyone so fairly when only one perspective is represented in staff, then you would agree that we need more diverse staff, which includes black people, Hispanic people, Asian people, etc. Regardless, we don't need to have a representative from every possible permutation of a human being on staff if the goal of the staff is for every player to be treated fairly and respectfully. Does it help to have representatives of these different races and creeds on the admin team? Of course. I am not arguing against that. But I don't believe that I am misrepresenting what has been said on the matter when someone of their own volition said, "[tiefling] is the only ttt admin that truly can [create a safe space for feminine presenting or lgbtq/queer people] since she's the only one with the proper insight and experience to do so." Can white people not create a safe space for minorities because they aren't a minority? I'd disagree with that statement. Look at abolitionists during the Civil War. All I am saying (because I failed to explicitly say this last night) is that it shouldn't matter what gender you are, what race you are, whatever. All that should matter is that the staff members of the server are doing their best to make everyone feel safe, welcomed, and entertained. The mark of a good admin shouldn't be who the admin is speaking for. The mark of a good admin should be if they are administrating fairly, justly, and equally.


See what happens when threads are allowed to stay open? Discussions can be had. Thanks, web staff.

i think you should be very careful with using the civil war to say that emancipation was done for moral reasons, it was done purely for political reasons

also what followed emancipation was Jim Crow

again, this reflects back on my comments that while you can be well educated on general topics regarding oppression, your knowledge will always be limited compared to those who exist in those spaces and have lived through those experiences (and the consequences of the past)
