Counting the votes fully we have 11 vouches and 0 objections. A further reminder that as per this thread, neutral votes are not counted.

Furthermore, reading through the comments made by those who voted - particularly from those who have known you for a while, you were a capable admin who knew how to do his job well.

As a few others have brushed over, however, you may need to be careful to stay within the staff conduct policy.

On a lighter note, though, welcome back to the staff team - if you require any refamiliarisation with commands or how things are done, feel free to ask myself or any other staff members.

Your roles are now added on the discord and forum, but you'll probably need to add yourself in game by typing tf!ac saconfig add jwmphall on discord.

Here is the players indefinite ban request.

Also you technically need to follow the right format for this appeal to go through, so please edit it with that.

Going to vouch since you were honest, sincere and it's been a while.

Coronaviruses are a family of viruses. They are most known for being responsible for giving you the common cold.

NCov-19 is a coronavirus. It is also referred to as the coronavirus mainly by the media and stuff. It is correct, it's just very broad - for example, the biological family of humans contains gorillas and chipanzees.

Coronaviruses cause general respiratory infection in humans. That's why COVID-19, Influenza and the Common Cold all have very similar symptoms - it's because they're all from the same biological family and all have similar pathological effects with different severities due to their biological quirks.

Here's an example of a coronavirus, with the rather distinctive spike proteins.

That book you're quoting is just correctly using an example of the common cold as a disease which commonly arises from a coronavirus (although Rhinoviruses can also cause it). It doesn't actually substantiate any point you might possibly have, it just shows that you haven't properly learned this topic.

Rant over.

↩  RedEastWood On the thread Ryan said that he had done it so I’m not sure why this is still an issue.

It was changed from "Wash your hands!" to "Don't be selfish, wear a mask!"

I believe it's been a while and a more positive message could be used. I'm here in part to get away from the negative stuff in life like the ongoing pandemic.

So yeah vouch for something like "Happy Holidays!", which seems to be a default anyway.

Bumping suggestions results in them going to the bottom of the list to be reviewed. They’re reviewed based on their last post.

So you've just made this suggestion the last one to be looked at.

Final bump for voting as this will be reviewed in around 24 hours. I strongly advise those voting to provide reasoning.

↩  Luke what lmao what happened to ‘we wont have ant removals rather we will take it case by case by asking each admin’

I did talk to a few people and exclude due to their current circumstances but I'm going to admit I didn't ask each admin. I was under the impression that the thread and all still had to be made as well. In all honesty what I did was sort of a mixture between the old and the new. I'll revise my method in the future.

↩  Luke Also bullshit lol

I've been assistant executive for less than a week. While I personally don't agree with the exemption of executives from admin removals (my personal opinion and unconnected to this role), I didn't intend on springing a random policy change like that without input from the community. And being just an assistant, I don't plan on spearheading policy changes myself.

It's been a few months since our last activity check and thus there has been some need for activity checks.

For a reminder, the current requirement is 12 hours of active playtime within the past 30 days although some exclusions apply - mainly recent reinstatements, and activity and contribution via other TotalFreedom platforms, as well as executives.

@"Captainclimber"#13
@"Windows"#26
@"Caleb"#150
@"Madea"#163
@"fleshly"#31
@"iIFrozenFireIi"#161

As always, the aforementioned will be able to reinstate to their role with 3 hours of playtime over the 7 days directly following this post.

Aged like helium-5.

I'm prepared to give you a chance and vouch. You've been very sincere here, and I congratulate you on your job. Hopefully all goes well.

↩ @'Ryan' Oi, that's a pretty bad meme.

this is important

I've enjoyed the brief time we've interacted with each other, you were fun to talk to and a good friend.

Seeya around, egirl.

↩  Luke I’d like a source on the ‘this was done multiple times’ thing though.

Still on the fence about everything, I might say more when I wake up.

I've a little concern in regards to what happened this evening in server chat. From what I gathered a build you made resembled a swastika and this is not the first time this has happened.

That being said, that's the only thing I really know for certain and I lack context. Do you mind explaining further before I vote?

You're british

↩  enchy Disagreeing with science isn’t a bad thing, scientists used to believe that heat was a liquid. I’m sure some person said that heat was not a liquid and was called incorrect for disagreeing with “settled science.”

Science used to be largely performed by small numbers of people. Sometimes even singular people. The majority of the world was unconnected so if a reasonably reputable person made one or two bad takes it was taken as fact.

Stuff these days.. it's peer reviewed. Sure, one person might make the discovery, but then scientists from all around the world double check. And those double checks might also be double checked.

Science isn't just people on their own making up theories based off little evidence. It's thousands of experts from all around the world checking each others work and working together and continuing to develop the scope of human knowledge.

You don't need to look too far to find many scientific papers from reputable institutions worldwide regarding the plethora of evidence in favour of the big bang.

↩  Alco_Rs11 I'm rather familiar with toxoplasmosis. It kills around 750 people per year, all of which seem to have an immunosuppressive condition or some sort, and 50% of the deaths are caused by people eating contaminated meat - which is the main way people are infected by the parasite.

It's actually estimated that there could be anywhere between 30-50% of the human population currently living with this parasite. Unless you have an underlying health condition, it can present no symptoms in most cases or very weak flu-like ones.

Like yeah, sure, the problem lies more with cats than with dogs, but you've been misleading in how you've presented it. You could realistically be dealing with that parasite as we speak as its main source of infection is from improperly prepared food (not cats) - but as I've said, it's relatively asymptomatic so most don't know they have it.

I could take a cheap jab at something back, but to be honest I've never really understood this debate. Both dogs and cats are lovely animals who deserve all of our love and affection. As someone who grew up around cats, I'm going to be more used to them. When I've been around other family members dogs, they're cute and loveable but I dislike the smell, and I personally dislike the way they can be a little overbearing at times.

Edit: you know what, here's my cheap dig.

Since we're talking about diseases which come from the animal (which usually isn't the animals fault anyway), let's talk about a much more well known case. 30 million people receive post bite rabies vaccines a year, infects (and kills, with a 100% fatality rate) 60,000 annually, and 99% of these cases in humans come from dog bites. While it's very much preventable, the post bite vaccinations cost $8.6 billion annually.

I'm not using that as an argument in favour of dogs, I'm just explaining why using the logic of a disease the animal can accidentally give you is poor and misguided. Console wars and OS wars are bad enough, let's not have petty pet wars.
