I think staff need to explain what is and isn't okay to say on the server. I've heard staff make similar and sometimes worse remarks than what Dyl has said but nothing comes of it.

This is something I strongly agree with. I know I'm not a TTT player but that's one of the major issues that I've heard coming from over here. The staff are way too different on what's allowed and what's not. That includes usage of the n-word. I'm not sure if that last part is valid today but at one point, it "depended on what staff was on" for the usage of that. This is merely an example but it shows way too much discrepancy.

Once we pin down dink the admin have a list to go over with him, including how to present clear guidelines on this matter. I personally believe that interactions between ourselves with vulgar language or mock fighting will encourage that behavior from onlookers who think that is ok. When they do it suddenly it isn’t ok?? It’s a double standard. -phone fucking o will call contimue on laptop-

Our own behavior sets the standard. If we shitpost in forums, out call everyone gey or a nigga, then that is set as what is acceptable. We cant punish on our own guidelines if we don't follow them ourselves. The discussion will also include how staff will be required to act, not just playing members. General banter is fine, its the internet, but harassment or being rude just to act like an ass will not be tolerated. Staff are supposed to conduct themselves in a (at least semi) professional manner. The rules apply to staff, donors, members - whatever. Whatever you do in pms I don't care - forums, public discord, and on server chat should not have this behavior. We will only attract the same behavior, leading to out current trolling and harassment issues.
You don't particularly need any proof of that, ive seen such behavior myself. Chat rooms, staff chat on server, pms, steam message etc are fine ways to interact however you want. Necroing, shitposting, constant 'no u' 'ok' and other useless filler posted publicly is supposed to be what staff moderates, not encourages.
-I could go on my rant but we will eventually post a thread about what we come up with after we get dink

As a staff member who participates in just about everything mentioned above that doesn't include harassment, being a complete ass, etc. I am in full agreement with this. A lot of the staff, including myself, can use some shaping up in the way we present ourselves on the server, as well as discord and forums. We're supposed to be the example of maturity and authority here, and we're borderline breaking rules ourselves. That's not the way we should be acting. Nobody's above the rules, and that includes staff. Again, I'm not at all innocent in this, but doing the same things that the late night trolls do, as staff, shouldn't be the norm on the server. 

Going forward, I'm going to be conducting myself in a more professional manner on the server, and I encourage the rest of the staff to do the same.
