    Unlike Admin, Senior Admin is primarily a leadership position and you must be able to lead other admins in a mature manner and be a responsible representative of Total Freedom. Provide a paragraph of your accomplishments and why you think you'd made a good Senior Admin.

    Having been an administrator on this server for quite a substantial amount of time, I have successfully established myself firmly into the TotalFreedom universe – such a universe having a very special place in my heart, for it nurtured me and turned me into the man I am today. TotalFreedom is a place where people could bond over the most obscure and somewhat esoteric similarities - we were all far too grown for our boots. We all acted way more mature than we were, and it is that culture that this server inspired, that truly took its toll on the outcome of my life. I was able to take skills I learnt while being an admin and manipulate those into something much bigger; I became eloquent in speech, discerning in nature and cogent in whatever I do. I learnt these attributes from the various members on TotalFreedom - thriving in the culture created. Applying for Senior Admin is something I have thought about doing for a very long time, alas time restrictions and various other regulations forbode me from doing so. Today, however, I am eligible and willing to throw my name in the hat.
    I am an extremely dependable individual, if someone asks something of me, I am sure to do it. Various TF members can attest to this, especially those who work with me on a day-to-day basis; and it is this dependability I hope to bring to the Senior Admin team, involving myself more deeply into the TotalFreedom culture and society. I have demonstrated my managerial skills during my tenure as the Owner of URF, a server that while short-lived, was extremely successful; garnering a surplus of players under my tight rule. I would be an effective role model, buckling down and getting work done when required. I inspire my younger peers to work towards their education, and such can be testified to by Elmon and Luke (if he was still here). If someone needs any form of help, my DMs have always been, and always will be open. I always try to make individuals feel happy when times are low, and a few operators have experienced this with me.
    I thrive in a team-based environment, such as that of TotalFreedom – and this is evident when I get along with my fellow admin peers. I have made many friends over my years here, some have departed whilst I can still share a laugh with others.
    Furthermore, I am heavily invested in writing a new chapter in TF’s life. I am the owner of the TF GMod server, and am working tirelessly to ensure a smooth player experience, one which can compete with other major GMod servers. Navigate to my announcement for more information.

    Have you read and understood the note(s) below? (Yes or no).

    I have

    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.

  • I had to think about this for a while, but I object. I think you are very competent as an admin. There is just a single point I cannot get over: from the interactions I have seen between you and others, you seem to have a rather aggressive attitude towards anyone you believe to be in the wrong. I can't help but think that this creates many more problems than it solves.

    @StevenNL2000#9629 you seem to have a rather aggressive attitude towards anyone you believe to be in the wrong.

    Me and You! had a conversation regarding this earlier. I am aware that I can be a little harsh at times, however usually it is justified; that being said, I have agreed to tone it down a bit. I'm not just saying that because you told me this, I have mentioned this earlier as well. I am fully aware of this issue, and I will try my level best to improve myself in this regard.

    Thank you for your critique, you will see notable improvements in my demeanour from this point forward.

  • I will be objecting for this round. As Steven noted, you are indeed a competent Admin, but from looking at your attitude and altercations on the forum and server I wouldn't call it senior-material. We don't have to go back more than a week for examples of this.

    Edit: RedEastWood asked me privately for examples. (these are the most recent, but it's not hard to look at the user's post history going back to early february / january)

    This is also ignoring the seemingly personal feuds he has/had with You!, Mosley among others. All of which are put on full public display on the forum from time to time.

    (+ the fact that the user has just reinstated)

  • Object, you only reinstated 9 days ago, and even before that, just over 3 months ago. I feel like you should wait longer before applying to show that you won’t go inactive again.

    edit: changing to neutral, you’ve got great potential but the reason above is still making my decision conflicted
