It really is something that is hard to put into a singular post but I will try my best to summarize my discontent with why he is suddenly promoted.
1. Laced has a history here, both good and bad. He was an excellent staff member his first and honestly even his second go, however, after addressing toxicity occured he grew a lack of empathy and compassion towards staff.
2. He belittles other people.
- He bullied and harassed Foxka and TO THIS DAY has not apologized for it. In-fact he would rather have an admin relay to Foxka that he (Laced) has blocked him and wants nothing to do with him anymore, thus showing he feels no remorse for the pain he put Foxka in. For this point I cannot provide evidence out of respect of Foxka and the Admins but I do know of its existence.
- He contributed to the harassment of Travis to the point he ended up just leaving the community. He helped foster the spread of a picture comparing him to a known groomer. Was that his intention? Probably not, but it didn't matter to Travis because the damage was done. Rand apologized for his involvement, Laced did not. For those newer you may ask "Who is Travis?" He was our first Web Mod. Evidence. The picture. It has been edited to remove their faces.
- He does not respond well to criticisms. My evidence is the first comment on this thread.
- He told a community member to kill themselves in the CSGO game night. We don't accept those jokes in discord forums or server so why is it suddenly ok?
3. He has been banned a cumulative TWENTY EIGHT times according to Gbans. Now I promise not all of these were "fair" or serious BUT its still an ungodly amount and it isn't even including his alt. The latest was THIS YEAR(2022) being for Slurs.
4. Slurring. He has kept up the pattern of slurring BUT it is outside of Dink's. Why is this acceptable? It occurs in servers which contain people from here and makes them incredibly uncomfortable. You say he has changed and sure, maybe in a front facing sense, but the pattern is there and to ignore it and say "He's changed" or "BUT ITS NOT IN DINKS!" is just blind ignorance to this behavior. I will show you the pattern of him slurring in evidence below. It will be linked to a different website for those who do not wish to see it.

These are so incredibly recent that it is disgusting the blind eye that's been turned toward this and my faith in the admins ability to make decisions has been demolished from it. It is clear you have only promoted him as a friend. By deconstructing and villainizing all those who oppose this decision it is clear you have made up your mind and are shoving fingers in your ears going LALALALALA. You have willingly promoted someone to the position which allows him to close discussions and remove what he deems unacceptable when in reality he can't even behave himself when nobody is looking. Disgusting.
To the admins, I have a list of staff members that are now scared of not only you but even talking in the staff discord and have instead confided in me. This is a big problem and you should actually try communicating with them.
