This was earlier today before I made this application. I asked in staff chat if anyone had heard of this causing lag beyond that, and the other staff, (a Moderator) online responded in the affirmative that there shouldn't be an issue. I did so once, to see the effect- Jerry did not crash and my frames weren't touched by it. You were the one who told me to use my vape for the effect in the first place, and to specifically "point it upwards so it's actually visible to the players." 

Yeah one grenade wasn't going to absolutely destroy anyones pc as I also told you it was because of the grenade launcher spam that made it possible. Yet as I was told not to do it by other staff I can only assume that would be in general for all smoke grenades in the skybox since they can cover the entire sky_camera. The reason I said its fine to use your vape is because it can't engulf the sky_camera the same way the mega vape or smoke grenades can so its minimal. Its that you did it "more than once" as I said, even if its not going to be as bad as smoke grenades after once its just disrupting and visually straining.

I did this for literally two rounds, was extremely vocal about where I was, and I raised the question on whether it was an exploit, and then asked in discord if it would be considered an exploit since I was targetable. Your comment makes it sound like I was intentionally hiding from players, delaying the round, and waiting it out. In total I spent maybe 2-3 minutes there discussing out loud in chat about where I was and that I was targetable. This was a situation I was trying to point out a problem with the map and asked about getting a killbox put in there. I did not use iron boots, I used the jump pack. This was something that any player could use and I raised the discussion in the staff chat.

I had remembered you saying that you've done this before and since nothings been said to you about it before it didn't matter. I really though don't remember anything other than what i said in discord here . How am I supposed to know either what you try to do in staff chat? Only thing I can see is ttt dev chat which you can't see so I would have no idea of your intentions. But hey great time to mention that MapPatcher is on the server and can be used to fix so many things rn.

I willingly admit I am still learning at the role. I may not take myself too seriously, but I do my best to handle all reports and other infractions with the same level of respect I'd want to receive. I don't think I need to be pushy about my role and that it's one that can be done with levity, respect, and as much humor about the fact that we volunteered to be staff on a video game as full grown adults as possible. T-Mod is another learning role with a few more permissions, and I think that I've been handling my role as trusted well. I handle as much as I can without involving other players, or being loud about my issues that may arise.

I'm not talking about reports I'm talking about in general. You've only been back since January as far as I can tell with your forum post and in that time I didn't even see anything for trusted. Now that you do have the rank and you have had if for only a month I still don't see anything you can't already do at the moment. For me this reads as just applying for T-Mod because you can.
