3.) Ignoring The Community
What the hell is the point of +1s and community feedback if it doesn't mean anything? I can already guess that there will be a response that says something along the lines of "We do listen to community feedback!" but that's demonstrably false. An example being @"aethy" s unban request. He can give more input on this more in the replies if he wants. Another example, would be the spray thread. As @JesseTheUndeadCowboy mentioned in the discord, the only person giving legitimate criticism was Russ. Russ was able to pretty much pinpoint why it was a bad idea, but the other staff, as Jesse mentioned, kinda just jerked themselves off with non-answers in a dismissive way. (He said it a lot nicer than that.)

Another big example of this lies with how staff currently treat regulars like Rylo, Ernie, Stuppidy, and Crab. Crab got permabanned for, possibly one of the most BS examples of teaming. Staff will ban people who have been with the community for years, and then pikachu face when the playerbase spams "ASAB" or complains about the staff being trash. #FreeCrab

A possible solution to this would be to introduce a new rank (no in-game powers at all) that members get when they reach a certain time limit, activity, etc (whatever is deemed as a good qualification) that allows them to vote within the committee. Regulars, and people who have dedicated a lot of their time (take Jesse for an example) should have more input than they already do.

I will end this with this; I understand that regular players (myself included) can be shitheads. We complain, we troll, etc. I write this post with this self awareness.

Im responding to this part only don't shoot me, 
new member role

im sure there are more but i remember this one.

i love the idea of a testing committee regular players that can apply or ask to participate in testing new maps/models/weapons/ect. and it could give long time committed players a bigger role to help out than applying for staff and staff is stressful so can't blame them for not applying and its a load off staff or whoever else does testing. You could give them a shiny Orange/light purple role ingame but most likely in discord is the only place to have it maybe. But i think it would be a great idea and maybe even a discord sepreat or just a locked channel in the main where they could discuss about new items, currently suggested items, and any fixes and patches that may need hence why i suggested the MapPatcher it is basically hammer for the ulx menu and it is an amazing tool all the servers should utilize and the testing committee could have permission to use such an item so they can quickly fix things for staff/admins/dink in maps while they don't have time for example Murder has maps like, mu_springbreak: roof of hotel, out of map glitch, the wall;ttt_...resort: behind the bush. and like dong said "The first thing I did after being promoted to Admin was reworking committees. Completely wiped all of them and re-added people who were active. Great system up until recent because people got inactive again. My advice is to not wipe them again, just remove people who are inactive and keep adding newbies. For the Training committee Nicol and I had originally planned for that to be application based. I think that you should wipe the committee and make it what we had planned Nicol. The people currently in it are fine, but they're all mostly inactive. If they were all active it would be fine. Training is done by random people at times which is fine, but set people is a more concrete system idk." 

Don't wipe them like he said here just pick and remove.

The only issue "i see" is some on purpose picking addons that are borked but people want them (COUGH COUGH PIDGEON BOMBS COUGH COUGH) but in all i love this idea and i think it should be implemented.
