I'm not so sure what the big deal is.
Hes got plenty of time on server. The only difference between trusted and tmod is that he'll be able to manipulate karma and teleport people. Which shouldn't need to be used unless things really stretch that far. Hell even the ability to kick as a trusted is a stretch, I managed to force the admins hand to restrict usage of that ability as my time before mod.
You say that you can't trust him with these powers, but has he ever really gotten a legitimate abuse thread yet? Not that i know of since hes been staff. Even if there was something, I haven't heard any mention of it in the criticism.
Tmod is a BUFFER STATE between the shift from trusted to mod, the word TEST is in there for a reason, its meant to test whether or not you should be given the ability to have instant ban access as a mod. Hence why they give you karma manip and tp in the first place since mods get the upgraded form.
Theres nothing wrong with having concerns, but you can't have students plan and prepare for a test, only to get them cucked by barring off the exam site.
Ban requests are an on and off thing, sometimes you never have to do them, sometimes they come in hordes.
Theres nothing wrong with pinging other staff to come on aswell, when I was still mod, I'd rather have other staff on to do the job for me rather than slave away on my own.
Staffing is a volunteer service, theres no obligation to force yourself to staff at a minutes notice.

Let's be honest as well, most shit goes down once you become test mod, not before it. (Unless you're like me and start an insurrection)

Might edit this, might not.
EDIT: I edited it, reread it for all I care.
