This is an interesting one. It looks like the main gripe is that euphoria has recent slur warnings and he is a troll. Obviously slurring and trolling isn't what we want a staff member to do, but let's hop off our high horses and not pretend that there haven't been staff members in the past that have slurred or slur baited, or trolled who have received no warn. Even if they did receive a warn (which was probably a "joke" warn), nothing happened to them. Will a gap in time from his last warning really make a difference in your hearts and minds or will the warnings always be a negative?
While I've been on, euphoria has been (reasonably) nice to the people on the server and hasn't caused any trouble (besides a little light trolling from time to time, but who doesn't enjoy some trolling?). I wasn't on for his original staffing stint, but it looks like there's a general consensus that he was a good staff member, resigned, then became a bit of a troll.
That said, the slurring thing is something that needs to be considered. I'll say that if euphoria can go another month or so without causing any trouble, I don't see an issue with him becoming Trusted. He's already got most of the Trusted powers already as a donor, he just can't slay and isn't a part of the staff discord. To my knowledge, he hasn't abused his Donor privileges. One of the points of giving someone Trusted is to see if they can be trusted with the responsibility of being a staff member. If there's a general distrust, maybe the first month he can get his Trusted powers on the server. If he does a good job, let him into the staff discord and see what happens. Then evaluate and see if he should continue being a staff member (that's a lot of work though and could set a future precedent).
I'll end this word salad with a hypocritical statement and a give this application 79% of my support. I believe that euphoria would perform the duties of Trusted well, but there's some (fair) hesitation among the community.
