What have been some challenges you've faced as a Tmod?: There are a few. For one, establishing definitive targeting was always hard. Players will !p to explain they are being targeted and get upset when nothing has been done yet. This is usually when there is a demand for warn points or a ban without having enough evidence yet. Another challenge was quickly filling ban requests while there was so much going on. It's usually easier when other staff members are on, but when the team is spread thin, and there are nothing but guests, I find myself tabbing in and out of Discord and Garry's Mod, recording, screenshotting, and formatting requests, usually with in-game reports happening. The last challenge that comes to mind is having to reference the guidelines for niche violations. I don't like to administer warns on rare violations without being 100% certain I'm executing the punishment appropriately.
What have you done well as Tmod?: I'd say filling out ban requests has been something I've done well with. Collecting evidence for submission has gotten easier with each one that comes. The big thing I've noticed has been communicating with players. When there is an issue, I try to !p as much as possible and spectate their problems when it applies. The same comes to talking to players who are frustrated with an outcome I give. Sometimes it boils down to making one statement on a situation and leaving it at that. There have been moments when a player was frustrated at me because I handled a situation that wasn't in their favor, and I had to explain how things work.

What, in your mind, makes someone a good candidate for Mod? Do you feel that you exemplify these qualities?: I feel like it's simple: continue to do well with existing responsibilities and learn how to take on new ones. To me, the role of Mod is taking what you already know and being independent enough to take action where the role of T-Mod can't. This involves transitioning from ban requests to doing them oneself and reviewing other requests. With what I've handled before, I can confidently say I can manage the work of a Mod.
