his mic spamming was never hilarious, it was literally the same three sounds 10 times a minute. He also wasn't solely banned for mic spamming, he was banned for ghosting; from what I remember he told everybody who his t buddies were in the round. nothing to do with how overzealous staff is, both of these things were enough to get you banned back then (no permagag at the time existed) and also now (permagag substitution for a ban on the other thing).

all that aside, he has been banned for a while, and I don't really care about alt evading that much to change that fact, but it's essentially been proven that if he returns he will keep mic spamming so a permagag sounds like a fair condition for getting unbanned

I disagree, I never found his mic spamming annoying - I'd rather hear that than 90% of the input of what goes on, on TTT voice. But that's neither here nor there. 

The rules and staffing were overzealous, if I recall correctly the ghosting / teaming guidelines had not been updated at that point - they were more strict / less defined (Although that wouldn't really matter in this case if he just straight up told everyone), RDMing and leaving was still bannable (relevant because that's one of his bans) and permagagging / timed gaggings were not implemented at the time. 

Given the system that is now in place, specifically the permagagging ability, I don't see why there's much of an issue on a full unban especially given the extended timeline (~~ 6 months since last banned)

There's a very valid reason to assume that the players + staff will recieve a long, truthful & heartfelt apology when you have been banned 10 times for absolutely stupid shit like constant mic spamming, ghosting & ban evading. I can only imagine how much time & staff resources he has wasted.
A braindead statement of "oooooh ooo aaaaaaaah  ape gang resurrection" is in no way any of those things. 

People have been unbanned for much worse but im 200% sure you're mostly referring to one time offenders or people that have been banned for way longer. From what i've read, this guy ban evaded for a substantial amount of time just some months ago. 

TL:DR - 10 bans 4 same shit = tru ape brain = negative iq = ur take = shit + schizoposting 2.0

The only people who demand a "long, truthful and heartfelt apology" for GMOD are people who are chronically online. "I can only imagine how much time and staff resources he has wasted." The tragedy of staff having to read one sentence on an appeal... what are we going to do? Oh no, staff had to type !gag timbo.... such wasted resources. Go outside.

"200% sure you're mostly referring to one time offenders..." lol okay, I'll make it simple for you.

Caribou - 10 bans
Madshitter - 6 bans
Shaye - 11 bans
Kessler - 7 bans
Rylo Ken - 22 bans
Laced Xanax - 28 bans (and look, he was able to reform and become T-mod! Crazy!)

Yeah but sure one time offenders... Y'all just have a hard time grasping that when it comes to unban requests its a popularity contest and whether or not staff like the individual or not.
