I have written a short response to the general concern of my calls for backup and Jammin's concern regarding ban requests.
For the concern regarding pinging I believe I have overcome that flaw of mine. The main issue I feel was a lack of confidence and the the subsequent worry that I would screw up badly in trying to keep control of a near full server or otherwise "rowdy", thus calling for backup when I didn't actually need it. In hindsight I'm not sure why I had this problem; while the C-say function T-mods have would help a lot for the most part even a text only trusted can just start gagging and muting while recording to get a situation under control I think I was just afraid of accidentally kicking the hornet's nest in the process while alone, getting players mad at me and then that making the situation even more of a mess. This is something I've stopped giving a damn about in the past two months or so. If people get pissed at me and start making a fuss I can then call for backup if they won't settle down, instead of preemptively panicking about it. I'm unsure if I will be able to convince those concerned that I have actually fixed this problem, and it may be something only a second application and another month staffing can prove.
For Jammin's concern regarding ban requests, the main cause for a lack of recent reports was, well, a lack of recent playtime. So far in my recent playtime I don't think I've had many situations in which I could file a ban request, with most of what I can remember occurring with a moderator online and banning the guy immediately. Hopefully I am soon enough able to prove that I can effectively and consistently handle ban requests and the evidence needed. With regards to the request mana had trouble with; I realized while writing my T-mod application that I need to do more than screenshot the logs when using them as evidence, in particular I must mark down the map, date, and hour the logs are in so other staff can verify the logs are real.
Hopefully this response can set some of your worries at ease. If not, hey, I can apply again after working on my issues. Took me three tries to get here in the first place afterall.
Minute after posting edit: Also, I would need to mark down the rounds the logs are in too.
