With Seg here. I haven't posted in a while, but am coming back just for this. I'd rather not have problems arise again, especially concerning my experience when you had also brought up politics several times after I had warned you while I was staff.

james just makes the minecraft factions server and dips
smh
happy halloween gamer ?

sad to see you go, but if you have problems with any staff (read: not just TF2) you should be either talking directly to a higher up, or, if you have proof, making an abuse thread under the Report Abuse section of the forums. 

Ok

All though I am a higher-up, I feel/felt the same way. I was not the child of an invisible promo but I have never seen the issue with them unless the community as a whole is finding an issue with it. I think its kind of like a see-saw. The higher-ups make a call and the community checks it, or the community makes the call and the higher-ups check it. I trust the other higher-ups and I trust the community. But @Ms.Spooks has just as valid a point about favoritism. Ultimately - personally, I feel silent promotions are an issue, but only if you don't have faith in the higher-ups to make the right call. 

We have decided to unban him.
Please don't be an edgelord Brian, don't try to provoke the TF2 community or anyone just for some laughs, it's okay when it's with people you know since they don't take your jabs seriously, but when you are disrespectful to people who don't know you, they take it to heart.

bring back the css div, please

Why the dig at me, my post wasn't even political it was philosophical. 
Anyway from the looks of the poll, a politics channel isn't going to happen, but I think it'd be mildly amusing to have one. I don't even know if most of the people in this clan can legally vote. 
For the most part our rules on politics aren't even really very descriptive or enforced very well, we've had discussions about net neutrality which is certainly a very political subject, we have a reaction that is literally an image of the current US president, Donald J. Trump, and we throw the word 'libtard' around like no tomorrow. And the reason all this stuff "slips" by is because nobody cares, as much shit as the clan gets from itself for being a bunch of stupid kids, I think most of the people here can take a meaningless joke. A place dedicated to higher discussion isn't really a bad thing imo, it might even be beneficial.

I kind of agree with tatost, but for the most part even if I don't think someone has what it takes for mod I don't post anything negative on their application unless I have a a particularly egregious example. I don't know if that's the case for anyone else, but that essentially means I just use standard staff protest procedure anyway. 
I do think people should be able to protest someone being staff ultimately, even if they don't have hard evidence of abuse or whatever. It allows people to get worries off their chests and forces potential staff to reconcile with past mistakes. 

I think you make a great point. I won't name anyone, but there has definitely been a few staff members in the history here that have been extremely questionable and with community input it is very likely that they wouldn't have gotten staff in the first place. A requirement to make a staff submission would ensure that the community has an input as well and would very likely result in us having the best staff roster to date.
However, there are specific rules towards applying for staff which would result in there being fewer people available for staff. Here is the link to the staff submission guide:
For one, it states you must be 14 or over to apply. There has been a staff member or two who at least got staff whilst being under 14. One I can name is @Segal. If you had to apply for staff rather than getting "invisibly promoted", Segal would've not gotten staff.
Secondly, (this only applies for TF2) you must have at least 50 forum posts. I'm sure there have been MULTIPLE staff members in the past that have had pretty much one forum post when they got it, that post being their member submission.
 
If these restrictions were altered, I think it would be fantastic to have a community input onto who gets staff. However, I feel as though the Division Leaders and Managers should still get final say as to whether the member gets staff or not, rather than a +1 and -1 system like we have with the member submissions.
Remember guys, whilst saying your thoughts may or may not affect the overall outcome, there is no harm in getting a community input and should only aide the higherups in making their decision.

+1
 

make him do an unban challenge 
 

Easiest -1 of my life (x2)
First of all, you weren't hyperscrolling, you were using scripts. Hyperscroll doesn't work according to @Lithium. And now you're admitting to using scripts. Something we all already knew. Second of all, you were insanely toxic that my -1 on you remains my #1 strongest -1. Lastly, you didn't even play properly. You constantly loopholed and freekilled and complained to admins and even spammed me in steam messages with slurs and more vulgar and vile language. I don't believe you've become a better person in that short time and my opinions towards you remain the same. 

Im on candy duty this year I can't be anything ☹️

Throw some invisibility potion on me from Minecraft and walk around the neighborhood naked. They won't see it coming.

I'll just be playing video games inside on Halloween.

Your Nick Name/In-Game Name: lolisme (might've been lemon when i got banned)
Reason why you were banned(If you don't know this put n/a): scripting.
Why should you be unbanned?: So i was a toxic little kid, this was back in June i believe, i was just a toxic kid who scripting but used hyper-scrolling as a blanket to hide under, after months i figured i was just being a dumb-ass who no one payed attention to and was a nuisance. I enjoyed playing [xG] jailbreak, it was honestly fun. the community and the days and the craziness in one day was just fun, i should've ruined that opportunity by scripting and i really am sorry. I am a reformed person and i do not script, it was an AHK script but its gone now (new pc btw) and I hope you guys can understand where im coming from. Thank you for reading this

Seg said he would do what ever it took to get me to staff if I applied. I’m challanging him to it. :^) Everyone gimme -1 and I will put you in my Minecraft YouTube video.
I’m stepping down from monager because it was too much work :^).
 
 
All serious ya i’m Here to help ya again.

I really do not think that having a political channel would have the results that would be desired. There's a reason why we normally don't allow major talk about politics, it's very prone to breaking out into argument due to how different the view points other people can have are. I agree with Chrono that it is possible for politics to be talked about maturely but that is something I fairly rarely ever see.

+1 I wanna destroy liberal furries

Yeah no this is just going to be #shitposting all over again. You guys do realize that if you want to do things you aren't allowed to do in xG, you can always like, you know, make your own Discord, right? 
-1

I'd like being able to discuss why other people are wrong and why they should feel bad. My name is Frosty and I support #politics

Now that we’re off of this horrendous fucking trainwreck of a ride, lets get right back on with a politics channel.
 
Before its blessed deletion, #shitposting was often used for political discussion (which wasnt really allowed elsewhere). #politics could easily fall under the same category that sports and technology are in. 
Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.
