This is no way a form of harassment, all individuals that post a request to move up the staff team undergo ALL types of evaluations be character, game performance or community engagement.

This is post undergoes all terms and conditions of forums, along with guidelines for the community.

When I'm unresponsive and the only staff member on then I would hope the donors would step up, especially if it's donors that help out regularly. When I was a donor I would do this if I knew a staff member was busy or was tabbed out.

When you tab out, you need the let the lobby know in some way or form be it text or voice. I have been in the lobby, I can even remember the map (Gas station), where you were mostly unresponsive for the map. I still allowed the other donors to handle it because it was the first time I had been on with you. I was not in fear of having you reprimand me for "overstepping" but yet to prevent conflict between each other for this very reason. When I look at a situation when I need to step in, in most cases I do for the condition of the server, I try to evaluate certain factors. One being, if a staff member is on, I don't need to use commands unless asked otherwise, and even then I can refuse and move on. It isn't like that in this case, no one can tell when you are on or not. Reading the information here, and being on the server now would result in me being more proactive in the way I use commands on the server. I would not worry if I "overstep" in a sort of way because I cannot tell if you are there or not, because there isn't any warning but just a silent staff member which in any other case would be the completely WRONG course of action. Which some of our staff members are silent in the way they staff and move about the server so as I learn the way they staff, I can better help them after I speak to them. This is not the case here, the only way anyone can tell if you are not AFK, is if you are moving or texting/talking. That is a problem as a staff member in my eyes, you are there to help us on the server, not cause confusion.. I am more than willing to help any staff members that either accept or ask for my help, but I will not touch a problematic server with a confusing staff member.

Usually, if I am not responsive I'm tabbed out from the game; either to update the ptw, grab a screenshot, go through the evidence, and a number of things. As I am tabbed out the live audio is cut off but I continue to record (this is helpful with ghosties/cheaters), although the audio is muted, so if there is something happening while I'm tabbed out there is not much I can do about that.
If you have some advice on how to be more present in the game I will gladly take it.

I think Triangle, Nuru and Pauling have beaten this comment enough, so I'm going to show you how to fix a problem you are having if you need to tab out. There is a setting in Garrys Mod that allows you to hear audio, which is pushed to your desktop audio, outside of game. I will post how to do this below.

Uncheck that box, it is unchecked currently because of the other gamemodes I play that require me to hear at all times.
Test it out and see how well it works for you and your recording audio, if you need help let me know and I'll do the best I can with the information I know.

I like to get the ban requests out of the way before I get off or I will stress about it in the back of my mind. It's how I've been doing them since I was a donor and it's just how my brain works out tasks, lol, it just simplifies the list of things for me.

I think because you haven't told that doing evidence in game isn't the most efficient way, doesn't mean there's a better way of doing it. Taking a moment and understanding the bigger picture for the server will ultimately help you push past some of your stress because you understand why you need to overcome it. Sometimes you will have to make small sacrifices and sometimes you will have to make larger sacrifices, case in point Fish having to make personal sacrifices for this server. Would you be willing to try and do it another way?

But in all seriousness; I want to continue to help everyone out. I know I can do this as a Tmod, I know it's more responsibility and I completely understand and recognize this. This will be my last app, as well, I don't think I'll be wanting another position after tmod (If I get promoted).
Having dyslexia can sometimes make me overprocess what I'm trying to say; so I've learned to keep things simple but try to portray importance in my responses.

The information I get from this is you have no intention of moving up in the ranks anymore, so what happens when you get bored of Tmod and do everything you think you can do with Tmod but you have just stone walled yourself hard for a Moderator application? Worst case scenario is you leave and we lose a Tmod and the time you have created here, the best case scenario is you understand the impact of this statement. Either way the information is clear, regardless of the way you worded it, and it was conveyed correctly to all of us despite your medical condition.

I'll continue to do what I have been doing but will a little extra slapping power.
...I really want that slapping power. Like REEEEALLY bad. Please.
I really want that slapping power.
Give Zom the slap power, please. Thanks.

I don't understand this are you applying for Tmod, or the ability to slap players on the server? I really don't understand why you put this so many times, it seems power hungry. I understand a good joke, but unless this is a major inside joke, normally someone wouldn't put this on their application so many times that I have personally put eyes on...

Until some questions are answered and some things are cleared within this post, I will hold neutral.

Something I forgot to add, why do you feel like you want to stop at Tmod? This is the most important question to me at this moment, please go into full detail if possible.
