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.

Completely agree with this too, and I know at times staff can tend to be a little erratic and a bit unorganized. The reason of being staff(to me at least) is to moderate, assist, and help the players/community as a whole to make sure it prospers and doesn't implode on itself. They donate/dedicate their time and money to this community for a reason, to keep it up and running because it's an enjoyable place to be and is supposed to be a fun time. As for being Staff we owe it back to the community to be the best as we can and make our server as enjoyable as possible. As Staff, we're supposed to be here to represent the server, show an example to the lower-ranked Staff, players, be a good role models, and to show our support to the community; we aren't supposed to be the ones to start or encourage the behavior we are supposed to moderate and discourage, it would be hypocritical to punish those that do it while we do the same thing. We should also be more proactive in actually telling players what they're doing wrong rather than just outright punishing them and telling them to "stop being dumb" or "stop acting retarded," that doesn't really explain to them what they are doing wrong and they may not even realize they are doing something wrong. Also I'm not saying i'm innocent of any of this, as I myself am guilty of the occasional shitposting where it shouldn't be posted(such as serious threads, harmless for fun threads I really don't see that much of a problem having fun with in my opinion, it makes everyone laugh and doesn't cause harm to anyone. Same with reasonably messing around with your friends a bit and they're all in on it) but I plan to change this behavior too myself.

As far as the rising issue of harassment goes, it is important for us to be aware of these situations and to act on them and intervene. If we just sit there and ignore it, it will set a bad example for the server and makes those that are getting harassed want to leave and not return, or even uninstall the game as a whole.

Just going to say something vague about the DylPickle ban itself, I feel like there was fault on both sides of the table during this mess of a ban.
