yeah @Rejects and @Kypari were great moderators

Gratz! @Rejects @bagel @Kypari @Sylux @Thunder @Tatost @Healix RIP @Skeletal @Elcark @sick41057 @ThunderLimes @Vacindak @Healix @Kypari @Rejects Old images, but relevant.

@Ruby_da_Cherry :emoji_black_heart: nohomo and stop ddosing me

Grats, Wyverness! I'm sure you'll make a good addition to the team! ;)

-1 for now, once you get back for real and i see you more/are more active i'll change it to a +1

+1 Sure, can't hurt to give it a go, we have 1 or 2 servers that could do with repurposing anyway.

LMAO, he wasn't hacking, if he's a hacker then I must be Robin Walker. I played with him earlier, his shots were ocassionally headshots but mostly bodyshots and SMG kills. +1 for unban.

-1 Demoted recently and hardly see you on the servers. M:7 A:5

-1 Keeps begging for submissions on the server, not very mature tbh. A:7 M:5

We may have had our differences @Egossi, but I deeply respect you for doing this, truly.

Actually, no i don't have secret insider information, @Bello but thanks for confirming that they have been given multiple warnings in the past. So if they have infact received warnings before why are they again receiving another warning?

So... higher ups who have received multiple warnings for multiple cases of inactivity get another warning? With respect, someone please explain this to me and everyone else who wants to know? @Aegean

Didn't you get banned for a week by Bliz for bullying on VSH?

-1 This kid is a complete ass, and has bashed staff on Surf quite a few times. He's got a huge EGO too. A:5 M:2

forgot to add this

+1 had slaughter butterfly knife tbh though, if you don't hand out a warning/gag then doing a 1 hour ban (going straight to 1 day) then its pretty unjust.

+1 makes me mad when he quickscopes with 500 ping A:8 M:8

It cannot be reverted since there are no backups available, you can still use ranks.xenogamers to view your position on Deathrun.

It has come to my attention that in applications -1's do not have an affect on the individuals +1's at the time, this to me seems extremely dumb as it stops the individual from being denied in xG so long as they get 5 +1's, even if they get 5 -1's! So, I'm proposing a change to the application system. I suggest we make it so -1's actually affect the individuals ability to get into xG by making it so it will remove a +1 if they receive a -1, this makes it much more fair on those who do not feel the individual should be allowed to join, meaning their opinion actually has an impact on the application! Opinions? @Aegean @Rhododendron @Bleed @Rejects @Bello @Lithium @SuperMaddud @Vertex (Anyone can vote on this, just an FYI.)

Don't even pull the "Timezone" card. Four staff members are from the United Kingdom @BonfireCentipede @Rejects @Forge @Kypari , one Turkey @Egossi and another Germany @Bello , thats 8-10 hour differences across the board from an array of staff members, don't even try it. Both myself and @Rejects have jobs and go to college on a daily basis, and yet we can still keep our activity up. You are clearly incapable of being "active" or have "enough activity" to provide a decent day to day basis for our servers. Myself, @Vacindak and @Rejects @Kypari are frequent visitors to surf alongside @Skeletal who is our recent addition and yet again you say barely anyone goes on the server. Anyway, this conversation should end, as Aegean just posted. I already half way through my post so I didn't particularly want to delete it all. Apologies @Aegean

Time to state my opinion on the reasons of your demotion Floppy! @Floppy To be honest, you have no where near enough hours to be even considered as a moderator at this point, 8 hours is barely even noticeable on the servers. As a Moderator you represent the TF2 staff team, yet here we are with you arguing for your position as a staff member yet I barely see you on, hell a large amount of staff barely see you on. Not to mention your actual ban list is smaller especially for someone who's been a moderator since September 2016, do you actually follow the basic punishment hierarchy? It's quite simple really. Put simply: You are an extremely unorganised moderator. Warn - Gag/Mute/Kick - Ban Punishments escalate in time each time you punish someone, instead yours are extremely inconsistent, you spend more time gagging/muting people than actually punishing people via the set punishment hierarchy. 30 Minutes (Gag/Mute) -> 1 Hour -> 1 Day -> 1 Week -> 1 Month -> Permanent The necessary hours should have stayed at 18 hours, it was much more suitable for staff members. We're meant to represent the staff team, if you aren't interested in playing on our servers then why are you even moderating them? @Kypari is not wrong in stating the activity, activity should be playing a big part in your position as a staff member, as for @Bello 's activity he handles the servers technical side, he spends less time on the server and more time fixing issues on the server, much like @Rejects except he spends time on the server also. TL;DR Either show you're interested in moderating by being more active and start being more consistent or just don't bother, because you are neither of those things as of right now. #rantover

Grats @Skeletal you need advice be sure to ask one of us, plenty of us old timer staff from 2014/2015 are back, lots of experience to share.
