What are your favorite jazz songs (if you like jazz)? I think my favorites are like everything Kenny Garrett plays tbh.

I have never played Skyrim but I have heard great things about. I might try it out.

I am wondering what your favorite ice cream flavors are. Mine are coffee, mint chip, or lemon sorbet depending on what I feel like.

alm is the best

If you're not opposed to building a pc yourself (this sounds super daunting but actually isnt that hard after watching some videos and doing some reading) here are some resources to get started:

Your choice, but try to pick an animal that doesn't have a hunting season.

submit to the dark side

What can I say, to me you were more than just a staff member. You were and still are an amazing role model to me, and I bet many others, and you are a great friend, more than I could have ever asked for. You have brought my darkest days into bright lights and you made my life so much better. You have also inspired me to become a better person and to always stay happy no matter what. I'm sorry about my past mistakes and I would like to apologize for every time I wasn't there for you, because you were always there for me. You stay amazing and please be safe, to me you are a savior, and I can't thank you enough for it. Its been a long run but its been a great one. I wish the best and only the best for you, because you are one of the few who deserve to have the best. Until next time we meet. So long old friend. I hope we stay in touch. Cheers to your amazing run in xG, and on behalf of the tf2 division I think I can say that we all love you and we all hope nothing but the best for you. Goodbye old friend for now, and do message me every once in a while. :)

I just want to point out - rating the person defending themselves against you with "salty" when they have a completely reasonable defense really says something

oh no they took him

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.
