I don't think we get "powers" as members, feel free to inform me of anything I don't know though, I don't really explore new things, and I barely understand how the MC server works.
 
 
Other than that, I don't really know if I should vouch considering I'm his brother, and the bias here is pretty obvious. He can be pretty immature at times, but he doesn't generally use the voice/chat systems, so it shouldn't be too much of an issue. You'll probably basically only see him on minecraft or CSGO, maybe a TF2 server once in a blue moon. I honestly don't get why he's suddenly so compelled to be part of a group he used to barely take part in, but he must be really enjoying the minecraft server or something, in which case I'd say give him a shot. He's likely going to have major problems with vouches though, as nobody else probably knows him.
 
Hesitant +1

I'm with Krampus, I'd love to remove it as long as we toss the other in the bin as well, however, that's not the vote, and atm, this cyberpunk is marginally better than the old one, and is currently my only reprise from the worse one in question.
 
Just to weigh the differences...
 
There's a line between pornography and art. Would we kick someone with the statue of David as their spray? I doubt it, as pornography is intended to elicit erotic rather than aesthetic feeling. I don't think any small child is beating their meat to the woman in that painting.
 
The rule is "no nudity" though, and I suppose that's in part due to dealing with trolls who would count their porn as "art" when approached about it, and "no nudity" gives a pretty airtight case for booting them, whereas if the rule was merely "no porn" or whatever, there could be legitimate argument as to when the line is crossed between artistic value and porn, as believe it or not, there's plenty of actual critically acclaimed art designed to elicit erotic feeling from the viewer.
 
Hell I remember some guy who raised hell on Poke Trade because the admin/mod wanted him to change his spray, as it contained exposed breasts, and he complained about how "sexist" the rules were, that, "a picture of a man could have an exposed chest but a woman couldn't" or whatever. Obviously he was just there to be a l33t mast3r troll and raise as much hell as he could for 15 minutes or so. We probably don't want to open up the door to more of his ilk.
 
My personal opinion is that this is a rated-M game. 17 and up or whatever, and I think steam at least pretends to value the ESRB system, meaning you shouldn't even be able to download the game if you aren't one, at least seventeen, or two, lying about your age. By this game's rating, it should be assumed that everyone playing it could handle anything found in your average rated-R movie. You don't see gratuitous amounts of explicit sex or pornography in an R movie, but you might see some nudity or something, and generally not excessive amounts of such. I get the concerns of nudity and children and whatnot, but I think complaints about non-erotic depictions of reality (yes, women do have boobs under their clothes, this is a part of reality) are just a little bit too puritanical for a server based around a game where people kill each other in viscous ways while screaming curse words, and every weird fetish under the sun is fair game (vore, eyeball licking, furries, scalies, home-made descriptive steamy fanfiction entries about burping into Val's butthole, etc.) so long the depiction in question doesn't contain any nudity.
 
Anyway, I'm going to wrap this up because it's getting kind of ranty, in short, I don't really care. I don't particularly like the map, and the only reason I'd want to keep it around is because it sometimes saves me from the hallway. On one hand removing the map in question keeps the rules consistent, on the other it provides legitimacy for a rule I don't really like or think has a place in an M-Rated game. I'm going to -1 as it has, (and has had,) no immediate impact on the way player sprays are handled, or any increase in sprays that break our rules, and if it turns out to be a major problem we can always vote again.

I'm going to close this. I've been a lot less active on TF2 recently (to the point of it being problematic for a hypothetical member of staff, I've been and will likely continue to be busy,), and I don't really desire to have a position as staff, it's just that at the time of making this app there were severe and problematic active staff shortages; to the point of having trouble kicking hackers and rulebreakers, etc. Recently we've had a ton of well-suited people filling those roles, and it shouldn't be a problem anymore.
 
Anyway, thanks if you said something nice, congratulations to all the new recruits!

Might as well just put this here since I made a separate thread.
Having objectives on permanently would be great if we removed pretty trashy and unenjoyable objective maps like pl_donkeykong_final.

I'd like to at least point out that the "loli scout legion" joke stems from a moment on trade gaming where Swoosh kept having to delete loli sprays, but there were like 5-6 scouts from different teams who would show up at the exact spot whenever he tried to delete the spray before anyone could see it. It's more of an inside-joke than anything.

I mean sometimes I feel bad for antagonizing people for a "thought-crime" so to speak...
 
 
 
but then I remember that lolis are hyper-sexualized pre-pubescent little girls,


IDK, I think it's beyond disgusting, but personal opinions probably shouldn't factor into this, otherwise we would have threads to remove the furry/scaly/whatevertagidon'tlike every other day. However, I think there is a perfectly legitimate reason for removing the tag if the fetish in question is illegal in 25 US states and most of Canada.
 
(edit) Forgot to +1

While I agree with your statement in a general sense, I think it's an awful idea to open up the door to, "I'm leaving because ____ got admin." or, "I don't like ____" or, "_____ is toxic." Any grievances with anyone should be compiled into abuse reports so that the problem can actually be solved. I wasn't around, but from what I've picked up, there was period within this clan where quite a few people were stepping down or leaving because of admin positions, specific promotions, etc, and that doesn't seem like a great time.
 
My point merely is, claiming someone is toxic and having no, or only anecdotal evidence, doesn't do anything to improve the situation, and probably just heightens aggression. I realize however that this is probably not the only reason for Skeletal stepping down, and I wish him the best in whatever he does from here on out (in fact I hope he might come back some day).
 

Nobody likes bullshit drama, but people can have issues with each other and state them without it developing into that, Tatost. If tuna is part of the reason he stepped down, that's fine, he's at no fault for stating it. I think Tuna's a nice enough guy but I'm not jumping on Skeletal here simply because he might have issues with Tuna that I've never known about. Also, if you don't want a situation to develop into a "firefight" you probably shouldn't belittle anyone by implying that they're immature or unfit for staff simply because of an opinion.
 
tl;dr version:
1. The clan isn't Salem, and we can't hang someone off of rumor. (You know, due process, "innocent until proven guilty" and all.)
2. Tatost, why even bring this up here if you wanted to discuss it in private and "avoid a firefight"? You've inadvertently turned this into a shitstorm man.
