Asking for help shouldn't be seen as a negative. Even Mods need help sometimes. That's why there's more than 1 staff member on the team to begin with. It's, ya know, called a staff TEAM. +1 from me, I've seen Evan staff and have interacted with him a lot within the servers and discord. He's more than capable.Asking for help is completely fine, but for me, the concern is consistency at which he does it. Staff members are not obligated to staff alone but it is not unreasonable, in my mind, to ask that those with t-mod and above to be able to handle a server by themselves. This does not mean that they have to staff alone but it does mean that they should demonstrate the ability to do so so that if an issue arises on the server that is challenging they will not freak out and overreact or mess up their reaction. What I have witnessed in my year+ staffing is that whenever Evan is the only staff on the server he pings on-call staff, to me this demonstrates that he lacks confidence in his ability to control or effectively staff the server at any point when he is alone.
Time does not equal shouldnt need help.
Overall, my questions to Evan would be :
1. Would you feel confident in your staffing ability to be able to handle a full or semi-full server without immediately calling for help?
2. (If No) How would the new powers, that you would gain through t-mod, help you staff the server if you would still rely on other staff members to help you staff or staff for you?
(If Yes) How would you use the new powers you gain to further develop as a staff member and staff more effectively?
I am still a -1, but this would be subject to change with Evan's responses.
