I just want to point out, the "question:" you were asking was trying to tell me that none of your doors had keypads so it's "ok" because then you don't have to follow the 4 door rule.

You did not comply. at all. You wanted to get your two cents in, and I warned you that if you didn't show me you were gonna start fixing it then I'd ban you. I warned you on 3 separate occasions, might I add. You did not comply, so please don't pretend that you made an attempt to comply.

I gave you literally every chance to fix your base. You did nothing but argue with me and not listen. you had, and I stress this 10 fading doors with no keypads. I apologize for the quality, but it still shows the problem. I understand you thought you were being "smart", but it doesn't matter what you think. You can have a max of 4 fading doors. and they HAVE to have keypads. I'm sorry I snapped a bit at the end, and told you, and I quote, "I don't give a fuck what you think the rules mean, you're not following the rules." You gave to understand that you literally pushed me to the extremes of my patience, and I guarantee that I was more patient with you than 80% of the other staff would have been.

I want to start this off by saying that I think you're a good kid. I think you have potential, but I don't think you're mature enough yet. You spammed OOC, and the forums, asking for someone to buy you stuff for in game money. To me, this shows you have a lack of patience, which is a huge trait that any respectable staff member needs. I think you CAN work on it and one day WILL be a good staff member, but I think you have a little bit of maturing to do in the meantime. -1

We just perms banned a member for having 17 bans. Now, I haven’t seen you firsthand being toxic, but for now I’m going to -1 solely based on the amount of bans you have

I’ve seen you in game, and you’ve given me no reason not to +1, so +1. get to know me a bit better and I might refer you, but for now it’s just a +1. Good luck!

By far the shittiest excuse you could have pulled out of your ass

I don’t have to “know you” to observe how you treat me and others and draw a conclusion that you’re a skid off of it.

Once again, I didn’t ban him

-1. I even said to Loki, “if he makes an appeal within the next two weeks, -1. But if he can step back, realize he fucked up, wait a month and appeal — I’ll +1” I think you need a break from Gmod and GG. Especially if you are so addicted, you’d rather die than not play on Gmod. I urge you to seek professional help if you are actually suicidal — however, if you’re using it as a bluff to guilt evity and the community to unban you; shame on you, and imo that really shows a lot of immaturity. Finally, I’d like to point out that I didn’t ban you. I simply brought up the fact that I believe you were toxic, and it seems the community agreed with me. Ultimately it was the managements decision. The ban was not solely my fault.

should I join MRP for the memories... wonder if I still have any whitelists

You're the one acting immature. I know it's tempting, but please don't shitpost on my thread.

I don't love this idea, but because it has the potential to improve him as a player, im not opposed

The issue was actually brought up to the managers and they’ll decide the outcome amongst themselves ultimately. I just made this post to see how the community feels.

I already stated that I'm done responding to you. It's taking all my willpower not to clap back on your pitiful responses. I'm choosing not to fight you on this anymore because you are unable to comprehend a debate, and refuse to see any side other than your own.

I'm sorry, but "building good bases" doesn't affect anyone other than the people in his clique that printer farm for hours a day. "building good bases" doesn't do anything in any way, shape, or form to justify 17 bans.

This will be my last response to you, because trying to have a conversation with you is like talking to a brick. 17 bans is so, absolutely absurd. Seeing as a year and a half ago, you were "proud" to have over 1000 warns or whatever, I understand that you don't really care about punishments or see them as a bad thing. 17 bans means he's broken the rules continually, and consistently. Gunner, breaking the rules isn't a good thing.

yesterday was 17

I agree with your points... In general. For Optic's point, yes. he is coming on and straight minging. I haven't had one day where he was on and didn't get reported or warned at least once. and for Witchings, He has been helped. Many, many times. People have tried, quite often might I add. He just doesn't seem to care. The rules pop up literally every time you join the server. He continually calls out other staff and players for "not reading the rules" which shows that he knows them, he just doesn't like to follow them.

OpTic, let me try to help you understand the issue that you are missing. If he was banned once, I agree with you. If he was banned twice, I agree with you. If he was banned three times, I agree with you. He has been banned 17 times. There has to be a point where enough is enough, and action must be taken. There is no such thing as a "good" player who has at least 50 warns, and 3 bans for Mass. 17 Bans is not a positive thing. Someone with 17 bans obviously is not learning from their mistakes. I urge you to take all the facts into consideration, and really think about how absurd it is to be banned and unbanned 17 times.

I like your Idea. I wouldn't be opposed to a month ban, but I think any less would be lowballing it. Some time off to mature would be a good movie imo.

He’s Applied for staff twice, logged hundreds of hours, and had many, many chances to learn

Although I agree with you to some extent, I believe that toxicity and blatant, consistent rule breaking shouldn’t be continually allowed.

I suggest a different machine/gambling idea, as people can just do /unbox and get higher odds for the same amount of money
