2 pointsThat was the whole point of clarifying (yeah outdated wasn't the most savvy phrase since everything there is still accurate, but hasn't changed besides one unrelated detail since being set up when membership was changed a year and a half ago (a decently long time around here), with people still showing confusion over this minor part on and off). It is a bit of a stretch in terms of just how encouraged they are though considering just how little they've been used since that point. A vouch is a vouch, no matter how big or small. Obviously greater detail and thought put into them is encouraged as it is with all things and could be a contributing factor to one vouch holding more sway with people than others (hardly the only factor though) but that shouldn't undermine other vouches nonetheless. Every member gets the opportunity to give their two cents, even if they aren't as articulate as others.
-
2 pointsI would say if they provide sufficient reasons in their vouch, it should be fine to not include activity and maturity ratings. I would say @DepressedNeonNepp's vouch is lacking but @tree_'s actually describes his thoughts on the guy in proper detail while still being short.

1 pointLately, me and the other TF2 higherups have noticed an uproar in people who are not satisfied with the current state of the TF2 division of our community in terms of how we present ourselves and some of the rules that they feel are far too strict. We have discussed many topics and talked with a lot of staff over the past few days for the betterment of not only their staff ability, but for the community and to feel welcomed and respected as they should be in hopes that they will continue to support and play on our servers. I would like to do a Staff PSA in this post in hopes that everyone will see that we want to make a change to make everyone as satisfied as possible. Of course, there are times where you may not necessarily agree with the rules or such and you may not be superbly happy about the division, but we have to try to make everyone as happy as they can be to a realistic and fair degree. Many staff members have been talked to individually about one or more of these topics already, but I would like to make it publicly known so that our current staff can find a way to improve to the upmost degree if they feel like they should be working on one of the things mentioned. Even if you feel you don't need to work on anything, please read this and try to improve on them to the upmost degree regardless in hopes that you can be as good of a staff member and role-model for the community as possible. Learning is a great way to climb positions! Staff members should not try to interpret rules wildly from their original intent. Recently, some people have felt as if they have been wrongly punished because staff members are being far too broad with the rules and end up punishing people for reasons that stray too far from the actual !motd. I would like to remind staff that it is completely OK to ask questions and talk to a staff member in a higher position (whether that be admin or one of the higherups) whether something is disallowed or not in hopes that this will happen less, and that I would also like to see staff try to enforce rules directly towards what they are related to. Staff members should try to recognize the situation appropriately and take everything in context. We have felt as if staff sometimes may not appropriately address the situation because they aren't reading the context whatsoever and jump to conclusions regarding rules such as disrespect but towards their friends and other such examples. I would like to remind staff that it is OK if someone says that it's a joke and you go back on your warning or mute/gag and to understand the situation appropriately before handing out a punishment. Staff members should be a role-model to other people and act maturely, specifically when handing out punishments. Just a reminder that staff should recognize that they are a role-model towards the server and many people will look up to you if they care about the community and the servers. We would like to see staff act more maturely overall and specifically when handing out punishments. This is not to say that you can't have fun and be yourself at all, but try to act more responsible and like a role-model to ensure that everyone gets a good impression of the server and so that new members and such will take into account your responsibility and maturity! If someone disagrees about their punishment, allow them to calmly tell you why they disagree, and supportively direct them to the forums. I cannot stress enough how important it is that you do not shut someone down and tell them "go make a ban protest lol" if they get in trouble on the servers and they disagree with their punishment. If someone disagrees, talk calmly and respectfully about why they were punished and if things escalate on the servers or if they still disagree, supportively and respectively direct them to the forums and inform them that they should make a ban protest if they feel it is necessary or contact one of the higherups to discuss their punishment. Do not shut people down disrespectfully as it often ensures that they won't come back to the server. Of course, if people continuously argue about the issue, then warn and gag/mute as normal or whatever punishment is appropriate, but always assist them first. No talking over other people is not only for staff but for other players + regarding when to enforce the rule. The idea of this rule is so that we don't create extreme chaos with people speaking over each other constantly and so that people don't randomly interrupt people consistently. The rule does not only apply to staff, but also to people on the server. It also does not mean to silence every person who speaks at the same time as you because you are staff. To enforce this rule correctly, pay attention to when they started speaking and if they interrupted someone blatantly rather than if two people accidentally speak around the same time and both don't stop speaking (to a fair and realistic degree). If someone's mic isn't very good or isn't working, inform them of what isn't working and give advice instead of saying "fix your mic". Staff should always try to help people if someone on the server's mic has a lot of background noise and assist them in how to fix it rather than just simply stating "fix your mic". For example, if you can hear their in-game audio, tell them to plug in some headphones to prevent the in-game audio from coming through their mic. If they do not comply, then follow the extended mute system up to a day (warn -> mute -> day mute -> hour ban etc). Staff should always remain unbiased as possible. In order to prevent unfair punishments and arguments, try to remain as unbiased as possible and put yourself in someone else's shoes before handing out a punishment just in case you feel that you may be being rash. It is impossible to be entirely unbiased and there's no way to prevent that, but try to be as unbiased as possible to a realistic degree to ensure that most people feel that the punishment handed out was just and fair. Staff members should always be respectful to not only players, but other staff too. Remember that you are a role-model and that treating others with a lack of respect will not only encourage them to break rules, but also feel unwelcome to the server and community as a whole. Regardless of the situation and whether they are a rule-breaker or not, treat everyone with the same degree of respect. This also heavily applies to staff members. If you don't like a staff member, remember that you are working with them and not against them, and that they are also a member of the community as well and should not be treated any less than such. There has been a lot of drama recently regarding a few staff members and we would like to see no more of that and for everyone to treat each other respectfully. Try to be less strict regarding the immature voices rule We are hoping to see staff hold back a bit more regarding the immature voices rule as we feel that staff are jumping to stop people from harmless fun on the mic far too quickly. For example, if someone does an impression of myself having fun on the server, let them but not to a consistent level and as long as people aren't getting annoyed by it. However, do not forget that this is still a rule and is still not allowed, but let people feel a bit more free regarding the rule. @mrnutty12@Caleb956@Kypari@Natsu@Segal@DiaperHyperWolf@Krampus@Arnude@SegFault@Precious@BonfireCentipede@FrostyBoiGrim@Nozomi@VinylScratch@bagggel@Deko@Owlknight_@Tekage

1 pointMy favorite Food is "Anticucho" ? that doesn't need introduction or explanation to moist your groin. But if you want to know.... Anticuchos are popular and inexpensive meat dishes that originated in the Andes during the pre-Columbian era. The modern dish was adapted during the colonial era between the 16th and 19th centuries and can now be found in Perú. Anticuchos can be found on street-carts and street food stalls (anticucheras). The meat may be marinated in vinegar and spices (such as cumin, ají pepperand garlic). While anticuchos can be made of any type of meat, the most popular are made of beef heart (anticuchos de corazón). Anticuchos often come with a boiled potato or bread on the end of the skewer. A similar dish, shish kebab, is found in Mediterranean cuisine. In Perú. if you want to travel to peru , YOU MUST PUT THIS DISH IN YOUR LIST. AND NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! EATING ANTICUCHO DOESN'T GIVE YOU SURF POWERS SO PLEASE STOP ASKING about it :c

1 pointWhile I feel like Blasto is a kid who means well, i think his big fault is his maturity. I am rather confident the age of 14 is not reflective of his actions in general on the server or when he was born but I have no way to prove that without @OneGlove to verify. Blasto has a rather colorful history on mic in terms of spam to the point where he has been banned for it multiple times by me. While IMO bans alone shouldn't prevent him from becoming member, I feel like his general attitude when talking to others and interacting with them should be improved before becoming a member (he is often in the middle of arguments when I join server from my experience) For now, I am going to say -1 from me personally until I feel confident he is more mature. A: 8, M:4

+1 I agree with every bit of this sentence, Home and Sitood is amazing, they were made by the same creator as a matter of fact (with help from others of course). I also recommend jump_spaghetti, that's a solid tier 3 map. I have beaten all three of these, so I am proud of beating those. -

1 pointSame rules as prison: find the biggest dude and knock him out to assert dominance as the Alpha. Jokes aside, there is a lot of bad stigma associated with High School. However, more often than not, 90% of it is just drama. I find that the best [serious] tips to keep in mind are: 1. For the love of God, apply yourself and be all that you can be. Don't make the mistake of just "passing" through High School. There are those that claim that it won't have the same sort of impact down the line as College/University will, thereby making it "insignificant" in the long run, but it will definitely influence your willingness to be all that you can be in life once you're recognized as an adult. Not to mention those grades open several doors to an assortment of institutions. Which leads me to my next tip... 2. Take this opportunity to decide your career path- what really interests you? Some can argue that this point in time is too early for this wheel to come into motion, but I personally think it to be the best time. There are an assortment of classes/electives to choose from, and I definitely recommend dipping your toe into as many as you can to really solidify that particular subject that really interests you. Once you find an area of expertise, start looking into careers early; that will allow you to really set-up a path to success in terms of what you should be aiming to achieve [grade-wise] in order to meet those goals. 3. Don't pretend to be someone that you're not just to "fit in" As someone who has personally made poor choices in terms of who I hung around with during High School just for status, I can't stress this enough. Be yourself, and hang out with people who don't just take you for granted. The friends you want are the ones who respect you as much as you respect them. Don't hang around people who consistently bring you or others down, otherwise you may find that you'll pick up on their traits and behaviour without even knowing it. Hang out with people who have similar interests, and don't try to impress the "bad apples" by stooping to their level. There actually are selective groups (eg. the "cool" kids, geeks, stoners, etc) so dabble in each of them as best you can, but again, try to avoid the bad apples. 4. Have fun! Seriously, High School is a pretty sizable pit stop on the highway of life. Don't miss the opportunity to make some great everlasting memories by having a good time. Remember that while it's important to keep your grades up, it's just as important to make the best of your High School years. And just for shits and giggles, here are the essentials: Walk on the right-side of the hallway and don't freakin' stop for NOTHING Familiarize yourself with the school layout. Nothing worse than being late for the first day of class Familiarize yourself with your timetable for classes. You do not want to walk into the wrong class, especially if you're late Keep. Separate. Binders. I'm serious, don't cram all of your shit into one binder/folder because if you lose that shit you're donezo. Expect heartbreak if you're going to be dating. Yes, young love is a thing in High School and holy hell is it full of drama. With that said, it's best to expect that things won't last forever (if it does, good for you!) and to understand that it isn't the end of the world if you're the dumper or the dumpee Try not to conform to some image. Seriously, once you're out of High School you'll realize how stupid it was to buy a new wardrobe or act the way that you did just because you wanted to fit in. Save yourself some time and realize that none of it matters. High School is a whirlwind of insecurity, and everyone will be trying to keep up with appearance or behaviour when you really ought to just be yourself. The sooner you acknowledge "who cares?" the better. I won't lie, I tried not to make this a long ass post, but once the faucet was on I couldn't stop it from flowing. TL;DR - Refer to bolded headers. kthx

If anyone cared what I say, I would stay neutral because he has a little to learn about the rules and grow in maturity a little but he is vary active. Even just scrolling through the chat log on his member app you can see he has to mature a little but he is vary active. So i'm going to stay neutral. A8 M3 -
