    Oh boy. So I sat back, but I figured I'd give my two cents.

    It's obvious that, yet again, the spray rule needs to be revised and published with clear guidelines. Your best bet would to state that sprays should be PG rated. That way no one is trying to push the boundaries of what's okay to spray, and what is punishable.

    +1 Rule revision.

    To be honest, I think it mostly comes down to staff discretion and opinion here.

    Yes and no. Krampus made a mistake, which is fine, but the result is clear. The rule needs to be revised and ALL of the staff need to be told exactly what is okay and what isn't.
    No more of this "let the staff decide if it's okay to spray" stuff.

    You're funny.
    You can still see both butts, just not what is in the cracks. How is that different? ?

    the second time was because I lost all interest in tf2, but for the last months I have found new interest in playing tf2.

    The only thing that worries me is losing interest in the game again. Why jump you up to an admin when your interest could be really short?
    I'd say give him moderator and wait a couple weeks before deciding on if Bonfire should be admin.

    Now that I think about it you are right, taking a little off that would make it look better,

    You can leave it thick, but you have to blend it better. Use your finger a bit if you haven't and smudge it around. It'll look a little bit cleaner, but still give shade from that light source you're trying to go from.

    I really enjoyed the system we had tried out last year with building your class throughout each match. Getting skill points to level up rate of fire, damage, hp, and so on.

    I'm going to go of the basis of that awful comparison video, since that seems to be the focus.
    I'm also going to go off the base of lyrical meaning that the lyrics of the artists are deep and meaningful, while mumble is just a good beat with some repetitive lyrics that follow suit (i.e. Lil Pump-Gucci Gang).

    Eminem, Logic, Tech N9ne, and especially Hopsin are like the Wal-marts of "lyrical" rap. Yeah everyone might listen to them once in awhile, but they're afraid of being judged by it.
    Eminem has some deep lyrics, but eh. Logic is the same way; He rubbed me the wrong way when he released his "Suicide Prevention Hotline" track. Saying "Woo!" after asking if anyone else feels the same over a suicide focused song just makes it seem like he is mocking those.
    Post Malone-Rockstar should have been put into mumble. I'd personally even consider Congratulations into mumble just for the flow and repetitive lyrics.

    The mumble portion felt fine although I'm surprised they didn't stuff Lil Uzi Vert in there.


    Lyrical Rap isn't bad and neither is mumble rap, but it honestly just depends on mood. Are you being a big brained king? Then go with lyrical. If you're being a deep fried brain king? Then mumble rap is your pick. Both are great, and I will continue to bump to either of them. Except Eminem, Tech N9ne, and Hopsin. They're just awful in my opinion.

    this post doesn't affect most of our lives

    It does though. Transparency helps the community out a lot in most cases. Especially issues like this.
    And like Aegean said, don't word your opinion so aggressively. 

    Anywho..
    I personally feel as people who become staff (mainly higher-ups), should take a portion of their time and dedicate it to bettering the division. Obviously people have lives outside of xG and sometimes it's hard to do their part. That is more than fine, but there should be no reason not to see things on the forums/discord.
    If the forums are down, maybe set-up a channel for higher-ups on discord to talk as a back up? Take initiative to do these things. Lets also not forget the age we live in. We can take things on the go, like using your phone if you're in town to reply to something or checking the forums/discord.

    Sidenote: I do notice that Virr helps out a lot with the divisions, and that's not entirely bad. The CLs should always stick their nose into things and help out when needed. Aeagan helps out with issues as well. Maybe not as many server issues (that I've personally seen), but personally issues that players have with the division. 
    Obviously Rhodo does his own thing, and has been working on bettering the forums.

    So other TF2 DLs take that as a nudge forward? Try to make sure your thoughts and work gets noticed. Then everyone is happy!

    I see on the log that he has received two hour long bans and one day ban. A week minimum, two weeks maximum would personally be my choice.

    You really shouldn't try to justify the multiple mutes as the requirement for a lengthy ban.
    You muted the person, you had chances to ban that person, and you still chose to mute him? I could understand muting him a couple times, but why mute him seventeen times? It doesn't seem like people are using their head to make a rational decision.

    There has not been much clarified as far as bans correlating to extended mutes goes unfortunately, which leaves a pretty obvious gaping grey area for what would actually be the right thing to do. If

    Then realistically, there should be a decision on the right way to handle this situation before Sucy receives a potential punishment. Because regardless the context of what he has done, he should receive a fair punishment just like future rule breakers.
    This needs to be a black and white area, not a gray area.

    Mega, I can see what you mean about just keeping him muted, however I believe it'd be best to keep Sucy off of the server. There could be a possibility that Sucy himself could be harassed by other players for what has done, and I wouldn't want that on anyone. Especially since xG doesn't want to condone harassment to realistically anyone.

    Lastly, we all have opinions on matters. Just because (not speaking for Sucy) someone doesn't like something and is verbal about it, don't take it to heart (to an extent). I don't like the whole furry idea, but I'm sure plenty of people don't like the whole weeb idea. 
    In a perfect world, we wouldn't have issues, but perfection isn't literal. It's subjective.

    Sorry you didn't get the promotion you wanted and that you felt treated unfairly but please keep in mind, we try to give everyone a fair chance.

     

    This right here.

    It honestly bothers me how people leave, comeback, and expect their spot back. Let other people have a chance to show what they can do.

     

    Also, maybe this is a hint for a staff structure reform? Either that or clean up some (potential) grey areas.

    Chances I'm going to get flak for this.

    I'm going to have to stay neutral on this one.

     

    You've caused issues not too long ago with people (you know who), and it worries me that it could happen again. Bello has made a good point about how when you snap, you go all out with such.

     

    And as for the people that are saying "Don't worry about the past!", you can't just ignore that stuff. How they act or can act should affect your vouch towards the applicant. Sesh has only done it once (if you group the event all together), but would you wanna hire someone who acts like such when they're triggered and upset?

    Can Sesh handle the job? Well sure, he has done it before. But behavior issues is why I'm stating I'm neutral on this.

     

    Honestly, I feel as if it's too soon for you to re-apply, Sesh.
