AustralianKiller (Anzu) - Reinstatement

Please Note: The TotalFreedom Forum has now been put into a read-only mode. Total Freedom has now closed down and will not be returning in any way, shape or form. It has been a pleasure to lead this community and I wish you all the best for your futures.
  • If you were a former Total Freedom staff member (of any rank) and you wish to be reinstated, please apply using this template and place your application in the admin application section with the subject Application for Reinstatement and your Minecraft name.

    Your Minecraft name: AustralianKiller (I am anzu lol.)

    Are you using the same forum & Minecraft account that you used when you were a staff member in the past? (Yes or No). If no, state all former account names and be prepared to verify that you're not an imposter.

    Yes.

    Note: Reinstatements will not be approved until the EAO can positively verify that the person applying for reinstatement is the same as the past admin - the burden of proof is on the person requesting reinstatement.

    What rank were you (Admin, Senior Admin) and the approx dates you were a staff member: (e.g. super admin from Jun 2010 - Jan 2013)
    Resigned from Admin status 10th of August
    Why were you removed from your staff position? (Answer one below and exclude the rest)

    a. For long term inactivity? (Yes or No) If Yes, did you post an inactivity notice or did you leave without notice - please explain if no notice was left.

    b. I left or was told to leave the server due to a security breach of my accounts (Yes or No). If yes, explain the circumstances and how you plan to ensure it doesn't happen again.

    c. I quit or resigned (Yes or No) If Yes, please post a link to your resignation thread (if available).
    I reisgned as I needed a break to improve myself and I was finding the server genuinely painful to be on. I needed to learn to not dump my entire mental health on the server and to just chill out, I find recently i've gained the skills to overshare less and use the server in a health manner that It was designed for and am overall doing better.

    d. I was removed or suspended for misconduct (Yes or No) If yes, explain why and detail your plan to ensure it won't happen again.

    e. I voluntarily left the server to avoid a suspension or possible suspension (Yes or No). If yes, explain the circumstances and how you plan to ensure it doesn't happen again.

    f. I rage-quit or left in a dramatic manner (Yes or no). If yes, explain the circumstances and how you plan to ensure it doesn't happen again.

    g. If you don't know why you were removed, state, "I don't know why I was removed"

    If you were removed just for long term inactivity or you resigned (yes to 4a or 4c above and no to 4b, d, e, and f), please skip to Q 6 otherwise you must answer this question: What current activities have you performed to merit reinstatement?
    a. Filed griefer reports on the forum
    b. Assisted new or existing players (explain how)
    c. Creative endeavors such as making promotional videos for TF (If Yes, give examples)
    d. Have assisted in TF development activities such as contributing to TFM (If Yes, give examples)
    e. Have assisted in improving policy or general moderation of the TF server or forum? (if Yes, give examples)
    f. Other (provide detailed explanation)

    If you are reinstated, how often will you be able to do staff duties?
    Probably daily at this stage, this may decrease around december to next year but not by a great deal..
    Have you reviewed the server rules and banning protocols to ensure you're up to speed on any changes that might have occurred since your return from inactivity?
    Yeah.
    Do you have a family member that's been on the perm ban list within the past 60 days? If yes, your request will be denied.
    No.
    Staff Response Instructions: You may vouch or object. However, unlike initial applications for admin and promotion applications, former staff who sincerely wish to overcome past mistakes will normally be given the benefit of the doubt and provided extra chances to succeed or fail. If you don't believe the applicant is sincere, object and state why (e.g. the applicant still has a bad attitude and causing trouble on the server). If the applicant was a former Senior, you may also vouch to reinstate at a lower level.

    Note: The acting Executive Admin Officer can place you under probationary status upon reinstatement under their discretion, however, they must have a valid reason (e.g reinstating then always going inactive). The Inactivity Policy for returning staff is no longer in effect, meaning former staff will be reinstated to the rank they had before losing status, with no restrictions.

    take an extra read at the question c if youre concerned about my "ranting", I know this was a topic for a while so- I explain why I resigned and it addresses any concerns around how i've used the server recently and the imrpovement I've made... I made sure to better myself and use the server chat appropriately before reinstating, thanks yall..

  • editing this in response to the change to a vote format.

    i vouch. anzu was perfectly trustworthy and competent before, but they chose to resign when they noticed the server damaging their mental health. i respect that, and even more so i believe anzu is ready to come back in full force.

    the server also needs more admins active during anzu's hours anyway. erin can't be expected to stay up all around the clock. well, actually, erin totally can be expected to do that, but we could still use more admins during that time slot.

  • I don’t actually see any change in your conduct on discord, that is to take your own personal issues and “vent” on the freedom-01 chat. A simple search of your recent (last two weeks) messages, shows that you haven’t actually changed.

    Object.

  •   RedEastWood If what red says stands to date, then I object for the same reasoning. From what I can remember, you were hardly active in game and only really active in discord during your time as admin. Even then you were just sending block texts of vents to freedom-01...

    I'm not to say whether your conduct on discord or in game has changed or not, as I'm not able to view either one. However, going off of red's reply I think it's safe to assume that you haven't changed. If you have, and you're willing to prove that, then I'll vouch.


    Until proven otherwise, I'm going to object for now.

    :(

    I vouch, however.

    This wasn't a suspension of any kind, anzu resigned by her own free will in order to protect her mental health. She was active and did her job when it needed to be done, and there were no issues with her administrative conduct. I've also seen improvement in regards to her activity on the discord.

    Would like to see more of her in game though.

    Patrolling the Mojave almost makes you wish for a nuclear winter.

    I could be the best admin ever, but if I use the discord as a source to vent about my irl frustrations (very frequently too), then perhaps I shouldn’t be on the admin team.

      RedEastWood I don't think either of you are in a position to determine whether someone else is mentally ready to return to the server. They stated themselves that they feel ready to come back, and given that they resigned from admin status on their own account, there is no basis for an objection. Unless you actually think the venting outside of the context of the applicant's mental health impaired their performance as an admin, I don't see how your votes should be considered.
