Alright, I am going to give my two cents as an outsider. I do not fully comprehend what happened, and I have not looked into the evidence that brought the punishments about that once again has thrown TTT into a fanfare. I personally think if you are going to go in on an alt to ruffle feathers of your fellow staff, you should probably let the admins know, but that is my personal opinion.

Noire didn't get on an alt to mess with the staff, he got on to actually be able to play the game without the weight of staffing and being targeted. I do the same thing. Correlation does not imply causation.

Why I didn't get involved in any of this other than containing some of the more blatant shitposting on forums, the first half of the week at work is always kinda rough and has long hours making me overall unavailable throughout the day. The second reason, it is a TTT issue and I am a PH Admin and should not have a say on how TTT functions (my personal opinion, take it as you will).

Nothing I disagree with here.

I see many people going after Nicol with either his rank or himself personally. I am going to say this once, he is trying, you guys are expecting him to do something by himself that at least two or more admins would watch over. Also, he did not make this decision alone, he talked with other experienced members of the community before speaking with Dink with their ideas, thoughts, and conclusions. He did not just see this situation and go to screw people over out of hatred or spite so stop thinking that is the case.

As I said in one of my previous posts, I understand Nicol is trying. I know there's only so much you can do when you're the only admin with a nonexistent owner. My problem with the punishments given to Jack and Noire lie in the fact that this entire situation was caused by the TTT stereotype that all guests that are good at the game must be hacking, resulting in a lot of staff witch-hunting whenever there's a guest on that's doing even decently. If you don't believe me, ask Noire, who was told by another TTT Mod to "just admit you're hacking" while on his alt.

Jack didn't even do anything wrong. He's not obligated to tell anybody when somebody he knows is on an alt. The only reasonable exception I can think of is someone ban evading. Nicol should know this better than anybody, because he's seen me on an alt and not said anything per my request. Not only that, if anybody here remembers the "Cartwheel is hacking" situation, Nicol was aware that it was me and did not say anything, instead joining @"derp" and I in Discord to laugh at the people accusing me of hacking. If we can't incorporate "guilty by association" into the TTT rules, don't incorporate it into punishments. 

These are my thoughts/conclusions, I am now stepping back out of TTT business. I am sure you all can figure something out or discuss things through.
