    Are your accounts secure? Meaning are your passwords strong, not easily brute-forced, and not used across multiple websites?

    Note 1: If an admin asks you a direct question, you should reply. If an admin objects and give reasons that you believe are incorrect, you may reply to state why you believe the reasons are incorrect; do not rage or get dramatic - just state facts and do not reply more than once; no debates.

    @SupItsDillon#1980 Going to object under the basis that the user has only been active on the server for just over 1hr 20mins in the past 30 days.

    @James#1977 I also help Ryan run the behind the scenes of things with the TF server anyway and would like to become more involved with the server.

    He helps run TF server side.

  • From a purely technical point of view, you do not need to be an admin on the freedom server to manage the machine it is running on. The only reason you would want to be an admin is that the current rank system is not designed for the position you are in. That is why I think it would be better to change the rank system so that you can be formally recognized as a staff member without getting extra permissions ingame. For now, under our current rank system, I have to object.

  • @SupItsDillon#1989 If it was a handout to a friend, he'd already be an admin.

    For additional context here, James is a member of the ATLAS senior management team, and is effectively the second in command of the company, so if I am not able to be reached for any reason, he has the delegated authority to make decisions that I usually would. He oversees a number of ATLAS projects including the TF SMP Server, and is involved in the running of this server and community from an ATLAS perspective which is why I've recommended him becoming an admin, to enable him to work more closely with our existing team and to get more involved with the community as a whole.

    There is a bigger question around how we handle staff as a position as @StevenNL2000#1990 mentions in his reply, where we need to work out a better system both for ATLAS staff members that are wanting to get involved in the server at a lower level, but also for how we handle SMP ranks and other staff ranks in the future especially once we do bungee things together. That's not to say there is a solution today, but I do agree something needs to be thought through as to how we deal with these sorts of scenarios going forward, and is something we will be working on so as TF grows and we hopefully bring more gamemodes on board where there may be differences in staff, and as ATLAS hopefully continues to grow and we have more people involved from the ATLAS perspective when it comes to TF, we can recognise and enable those individuals as appropriate.
