We should have clear examples of what is and isn't allowed really, having a description for each would really clear things up for our players and staff. Unfortunately, having any rules that are up to the discretion of staff does cause confusion and conflict with differentiating opinions of multiple staff members. We either need to make the rules for sprays really strict, or really lenient as a middle ground leaves room for confusion. I'd go more for the lenient side that basically just states no private areas visible (outline/bulges included), no incredibly grotesque/gory sprays, and no sexual acts being performed or implied. This would give players more freedom as well as help them get a better understanding of what is and isn't allowed, though as has been stated, "sexual acts" is really up to staff discretion unless we make it incredibly clear as to what that counts as.

I'd definitely like to have a clearer bar set since when you allow staff the decision to do it at their own discretion this leads to some people letting some sprays go and some punishing others. This will end up confusing or frustrating players since they'll cite someone else allowing it only to have been punished or told to remove it by another.
 
As such I'd think as long as you can't see too much it'd be fine, though clearly sexual acts that're 'censored' or 'off screen' probably not. Lately had a spray or two kind of bordering it since there's one where there's a thin line of panties covering a female's labial region and it's hard to tell if you're just seeing skin or labia, and there's another where there's a female quite clearly being plowed out of sight given the dialogue and ahegao expression- or rather, being borked silly.

I've heard from a couple of staff members that the rule regarding sprays is hard to enforce or is being enforced differently depending on who is online at the time. Do you think the rule is in need of a bit of a touch-up or is it fine as it is?
 
While we're at it, I think it is time we update the ingame Motd to better reflect the ones found on forums.

Idle Kick Plugin for Surf Server
 
If there is a way to prevent staff from being kicked in the surf server if we got the idle plugin here would be really helpful.
It would be nice if it could be a flag based plugin, it will put staff into spectate but not kick them after certain amount of time, or just an extended time.
 
We have been having a few idlers that are doing it constantly and it does get inconvinient when the servers are at their peak times when the server gets full.
 
 
If this does happen to be possible, could we please trial run.

In light of the recent removal of two of my titles, I can now create two new ones. On top of that, I will buy two more. Since the community here removed my titles, they may as well choose what the new ones are. (Although the real reason is that I just don't have any ideas whatsoever.) Comment what ideas you have, and I'll pick the ones that are either most agreed with or liked, or the ones I just find the dankest to use out of it.

Really I just want to be able to boot all those cheeky kids who spam while knowing that it's against the rules. Anyway, just figured that since I'm on the TF2 servers a lot of the time anyway, I might as well just be an extra pair of eyes who can do something about that.

I made a bad roblox game.

I'm not sure honestly. On the one hand I believe you can do a good job as staff member, on the other hand you have a really disappointing history of abuse.
I'd +1 for probationary mod, but nothing higher right now. I think @Blizzard and @Egossi have mentioned some really good points. I also didnt like the way you yelled at me after you were demoted (n), but lets just forget that.

+1 for unban.
 
Perm was too much, should have been a lower timed ban.
 


 
Mistakes happen, man. The guy can't watch his account 24/7. Especially if he is trying to set-up going into college.

Yeeeeeeeeah. I agree with @Kypari on this one. Staff should have followed the protocol, jumping to a permanent ban was a bit too much.
+1 for unban

Alright I knew this would come up eventually, but I'll be honest here and respond with my input. I do consider rejects a friend as he welcomed me into the clan a few years back, but I'll respond with honesty instead of a buddy buddy bias. Following rejects' demotion from DL there was some time where he had entered a passive aggressive hostility period where he made snarky comments about staff members and uphold an ego of his achievements as DL. I find that he also went through a very depressed stage and to be frank, was an emotional train wreck on servers and even in general he would get pretty sad over real time events as well. I do agree that he was a good staff member when it came down to diffusing situations and managing servers, however due to the severity of his demotion I can't give him a +1. We have to realize that he went from a very high position, and steeped very low. If your demotion was not as severe as it was I would consider giving you a +1, but the time between now and your demotion has only seen very little improvement in behavior. That being said I'm gonna have to -1 your moderator submission, but I will +1 for the idea of probationary moderator. If you can uphold your own emotional being and past attitudes as probationary moderator then we can determine your validity as staff again.
 
@Sesh @Vexx @Kypari

I mean you definitely should be permed being as you have been banned on multiple occasions and if the the staff that banned you went through the system as it is intended you would be permed. However, being as that system wasn't followed +1 for unban. As for the little brother thing it wouldn't matter in the first place if it is was your brother since your account is your responsibility.
But yeah that [Admin] thing has gotta go.

A permanent ban wasn't really necessary since none of the staff took the time to issue a week and month ban. As for the "my brother did it lol" story, it is your account, therefore it is your responsibility. Impersonation of staff is not taken lightly around here, it does have some serious repercussions. I want @Basquiat's opinion on this before I go any further.

Sure we can remove it, all credits will be refunded, and we will give the player who had the title(s) made a different title that is more in-line with the rules here. Also going to delete the poll that ill had posted, we already have a decision.

so I think it's been long enough for me to try and get staff again (2 months went by way too fast :( )
 
after moving to different games for a while, I'm starting to get back into tf2 again and playing on the servers, mostly tgh and deathrun
 
gonna tag the tf2 higher ups, I hope that you guys feel that I deserve the chance to get staff again

+1 I was going to make this thread >:c
Seriously though, if you actually wear this title you are basically labeling yourself as a pedophile and I'm surprised that this was allowed to become a title in the first place. It's disgusting.
@EyedJester was the one who made the titles. You can probably just change them.
