I'm torn on this one. I think sad brings up some good points about bias that you should take in mind, but Damian has more experience just applying for staff in this community, setting aside actual staffing, then many people have in a staff role. I make that joke that no one found funny to prove the point that Damian has a lot of experience, and has noticeably matured lately.

Two things of note stand out to me: one, his music sessions have become a great community hit outside of the game servers, and two, when he needed to take a step back from responsibilities here to handle his personal life, he actually took them (i.e. handing off the music nights).

Is he capable of being trusted as a forum moderator? I'm not sure, but I think so. I think the role is reduced from what it used to be, and no longer effectively ip-doxxes people on the forums. I believe that is reserved for admin+ now. Plus, I think Damien has frankly grown up a lot over the past couple years, both in age and in maturity.

I'm a lot less active than I used to be, but for my long time of knowing damien, I think he would be appropriate for the role. We need active web staff to keep important discussion threads open while eliminating the fights and shitposting that way too often closes useful discussion. I think in this respect, I think Damien would be good in deleting obvious shitposting while remaining unbiased in his efforts.

Tldr +1 unless actual evidence of bias comes out in recent times.
