Alright, so, I'm actually going to try and be serious for a change in this post.
I have been on this server since 2015, in that I've seen a lot of different staff and different ways the server has been ran. One of the first things I've noticed and actually made reference to is the fact the server appears to be more toxic. But in reality it really isn't the server itself, its just a select few people that are very outspoken and on occasion cause a herd mentality of people trashing on staff cuz haha funny. There are several people on this server who like to continuously push the envelop with staff, and then act the victim when they are punished. In my experience with running servers this is never good to allow this because it just festers, and then eventually a legitimate toxicity problems develops in the community. Also, I believe allowing people to just constantly complain also hurts the servers. Any time I notice people being assholes on the server it causes the server population itself to go down because people don't want to listen to that crap, they just want to relax and have fun. Also, people have no basis about saying "MUH FREE SPEECH", as an owned server it can implement whatever rules it wants. If you have rules implemented against racist remarks to cut down on toxicity, what is the point in allowing harassment, even tho 90% of it is trolling.
As for staff, I also believe that there is blame to be passed around. I generally play in the late afternoon to mid-evening and I honestly hardly see any mod+ on besides a select few. There are times that the server is at capacity and there aren't even any staff on. Also, even when several staff are in-game I seem to notice that it's always one person doing the work for everyone else, which shouldn't be the case. Being staff means that you should put reports when you're in-game first over anything else game related. Trusted need to be willing to share the workload and once they die they should jump on any report submitted. This also is going to alleviate some of the complaints mentioned above.
I've been part of a lot of TTT communities over the years and I enjoy being part of this community so there's my insight o__O
tl;tr: players overreact and complain and select few cause the trouble, staff needs to be more proactive
