As soon as I joined this community, I got inspired to do something. To get in shape! Proud to say I'm finally comfortable enough with my body to show myself to all of you lovely people!
Also it isn't a selfie but it's a picture of me so I think it'll do!
 
 

Minorities out ????

Is xG gay?

Bunker is the best map, if you disagree you are fucking stupid

Ok here's a fun idea for a challenge:
Call a Ku Klux Klan recruitment hotline number and get information on how to join them, get your robes ready and be ready for your first meeting, perform a lynching with them and then carve the xG logo onto the body, and take a selfie with it

k. thats cool if wanna try and change
 
 
 
 
but please just shut up about bunker all the fucking time. If you were to stop talking about it, I would appreciate you more.

I haven't seen you on the servers unless you just play Surf which is probably the case, other than that last year when you came to stepping down you just started acting like a dick and that "you want to be spiteful" I have nothing personal against you, but I do not see a reason to give you staff other than the amount we currently have, you're sensitive enough to be bullied off the entire game, I haven't seen change as you are barely on and Surf's trash nigga

-1 I don't know what the innate attraction to surf is for some people, but I'm 99% certain that surf doesn't need more server-only staff. Only seen you on tgh once in the past several months, which isn't a great indicator of "activity." Because of this lack of variety in what you play, I also haven't been able to see you prove or disprove a growth in maturity from your last situation of demotion. 

Also this is coming from a black man so if you dont make the word "nigger" allowed everywhere for this african american's comfort, you are a racist piece of shit and i am literally crying and screeching right now

This.
I personally don't mind the usage of the word, but i understand why other people do.
I wanna add on, the reason why the word "nigger" is still used with the intention to be racist or seen as more offensive is because of the past surrounding that word which a word like "cracker" wouldnt share, along with the current public opinion and politics in the U.S regarding racism, everyone knows racism is bad now, and people know there are extremists who will hunt you down for using the word "nigger" in any context, therefore want to avoid using it, while homophobia is seemingly more common, as two men kissing is just very unappealing to most straight men.
Its also the reason why on a platform like youtube or twitter, you can be banned for using the word "nigger" regardless of context, while if you call someone a faggot as an obvious joke or an insult that has nothing to do with gay people, you probably wont face any repercussions, or at least nothing as heavy.
 
If the media and US politics wasnt as touchy on that topic as they are rn tho, your argument would be completely valid @james8470
Also id say "nigga" should be fine, if it isnt already that is, as its generally known to be a term of endearment and almost never used in a geniunely racist and hateful way, and even then its not as aggressive 

His point is that there are so many staff members that play on surf that he wouldn't really provide anything that isn't already there, as it is already so heavily staffed. Much like how I was denied staff as a Discord moderator because we already had plenty. The entire point of my post, although poorly conveyed, was that Skelly is known to have a rather short fuse (see "Goodbye for now" thread and read my logs with him) and if given staff should definitely be on thin ice and/or under constant surveillance.
Just staying neutral still since I haven't really been on to talk to him, my posts only act as a warning.

ok, now THIS is epic

+1 red pandas gotta stick together
 
 
hes cool too I guess

We'll be looking at a couple things when making our decision. I can't give you all the pointers off the top of my head as some are more relevant than others depending on the map, but as an example;
Community feedback (poll, thread replies, etc etc) Technical faults (lighting issues, performance, etc) Play rate, connect/dc ratio, mapstats basically Design issues (too narrow/chokey, sniper dominated) Some of these will carry more importance than others depending on the map in question. Some maps don't have any performance issues at all for example, while others have a lot. However, community feedback will always be the #1 decider in if i map gets kept in rotation or not. This is of utmost importance and i cant stress enough how much valuable and well constructed feedback matters.

I mean, I dislike you for very obvious reasons, but I don't play on the TF2 servers anymore so ?

Because of context. I don't call people faggots and neither do I call people niggers, but let me try to give my opinion on this subject. I'm also going to refer to the "n-word" as "nigger", since that is the word we're talking about and we're having a reasonable discussion where I'm not using it as an insult.
As far as I know, it's not like the word "faggot" is allowed no matter what. The word is allowed in a certain context in which you are not harassing someone. For instance, if someone were to call QueenofHeart [or any queer person] a faggot because of the fact that she is transgender, that would be punishable. However, in my opinion the meaning of the word faggot has kind of changed. I'm definitely not denying that awful people are still using it to be homophobic, however, there is a certain episode of South Park that illustrates this situation. To briefly summarize the episode, a ton of bikers start annoying the city and people eventually start calling them fags to the point where everyone just refers to them as fags. At some point people got concerned because of the apparent homophobia that someone did a TV report showing a child a picture of a gay person and a biker, asking whom of the both they think is a "fag". The child pointed to the biker and completely ignored the actually gay person. In other words, in this and in many other instances the word "faggot" is not being used in a homophobic context. If someone on a tf2 server is like "shut up, faggot", in 95% of the cases he doesnt use the term "faggot" to insult gay people, but instead to insult an annoying person.
Does that make it better? Kind of, I think. While I'd agree that nobody should say it, people always will and I don't think we, as a gaming community, have the power to stop people from doing that. Our regular players, yes, probably, but literally anyone who ever joins the servers? I don't think so.
People have already started to describe generally annoying people as "faggots", way before this community was even established, I believe.
However, the meaning of the term "nigger" has not changed. People still mostly use it to be intentionally racist.  There is basically no context where it would make sense to call someone a "nigger" simply because they are annoying. People haven't started doing that and still aren't.
Again, I'm not condoning the usage of either of these words, I'm just trying to explain why there is a difference in my opinion. Not to mention the argument @Elcark made last time, that we'd have to basically start banning everything from here:
List of disability-related terms with negative connotations - Wikipedia
EN.WIKIPEDIA.ORG If people intentionally use the word "faggot" to discriminate against gay people, then that should be a no go, but using it in a relatively "harmless" context which doesn't relate to discriminating against gay people is something different.
Also, you should watch the episode of south park I was talking about if you have time, it's called "The F-Word".

Quoting myself from the last thread: "Can we just keep the basis that if someone is harassing someone, we punish them? Can we also keep in mind that the people are behind a monitor acting all tough; Literally ignore them. Punish them if they're harassing someone/you. How hard is that?"

This thread has been made before. See here: 
 

just don't be gay plain and simple.

+1 yes

can we just promote @Caleb956 to Admin & DM in one promo?

Division
Team Fortress 2 In-Game Name
Caleb956 Identity
76561198049113685 Position
Administrator Time Active on Servers
1700+ hrs, 5-6 yrs Information Sooo here we are, I'll start this off by explaining myself a little bit.  Long story short, I had some irl plans that would have taken a considerable amount of time and effort which would lead to me not having really any time to play anything so I stepped down, along with me overworking myself and getting burnt out, second guessing myself, etc etc .  Well, those irl circumstances have changed and what I had planned isn't even possible for me anymore and I've got even more time than I did before now so here we are.
Talked to @Tekage, he said it may be a good idea to just post one of these to get some people's opinions on me getting staff again. 
Chose Admin as the rank to apply for largely considering past experience and how long I've been here, I'd consider myself to be mature and able enough to handle it even though I've just recently returned.  I don't expect to get any sort of rank right away but I'm just putting this out there to make it known I'll be around and interested in staff. ?
