In the end, I see the whole situation escalated so far beyond what it should have been at and turned into a shitshow.
This situation should have been de-escalated on the server in a less aggressive manner.
Sometimes its a good idea to say to yourself "hey this situation is getting out of hand... maybe I need some help."

I believe you let your emotions get the best of you in this situation. You fed the fire by more and more actions against people on the server. They used it as ammo against you.
De-escalation would have been the best solution. Sometimes the best de-escalation tactic is to move along to another conversation or not to comment. I think in the end this whole thing is a shit show and it will take a bit for the admin team to decide what to do given all the evidence that they have to sift through.

There were so many other ways that this situation would have gone that would have led to a different result but the decisions made led up to what happened.
Some of it might be due to the fact that you haven't been updated on the latest in rules/procedures or gotten a feel for how to staff the server as of today.

I have no issues with an old staff member trying to help. It seems like you need some alignment with the rest of the staff team. Maybe the Admins can set you up with some nice training sessions after all of this is figured out. We got some helpful willing folks in the staff team that know a lot and can help you get updated quicker.

I don't think that you deserve a full demotion from one instance. I think a slap on the wrist and a retraining would help everyone involved and help you become the staff member you want to be (if that is what you want in the end). This is as long as you are willing to see where others are coming from once the decision is made and learn from any mistakes that are pointed out. We won't accomplish anything with aggression. I understand that staffing TTT is crazy sometimes and can get overwhelming. Staffing in general can get overwhelming especially with a lot of people and a lot of stuff going on.

Good luck.
