  • Ashaz - Senior Admin Reinstatement

    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.

    1. Your Minecraft name: ashazgaming
    2. If you have discord, please post your username#discriminator here. (Not required). 203e
    3. Are you using the same forum, Minecraft and discord accounts 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.

    1. 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) Admin: February 2021 to early 2023
      Senior Admin: Early 2023 to April 2023
    2. 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. - Didn't bother posting a notice given I'd have been removed during the removal


    3. 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 7 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) - Have reintegrated myself with the current community, approached and updated myself on rules and have met the activity limit.

    4. If you are reinstated, how often will you be able to do staff duties? Weekly. Senior is a role that also requires a heavy Discord presence though, which I can give daily as and when needed.
    5. 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? Yes
    6. 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


    Disclaimer: I have checked with the Admin Officer and voting isn't required. I also did not use ChatGPT to write this :P

  • An official wiki

    heard this idea about 10 times and youve executed it before but its never went through


    vouch nonetheless but no point making these suggestions if nothing happens after they get approved

  • Open up the Senior Admin window full time

    I am writing to propose a suggestion that aims to enhance the process of appointing Senior Admins on the TotalFreedom server. As a dedicated member of this community, I believe that opening the application window for Senior Admin positions full time would significantly benefit the server and its players.


    TotalFreedom, with its rich history since its establishment in 2010, has cultivated a unique and thriving community of Minecraft enthusiasts. Throughout the years, the server has maintained its commitment to providing an environment of creativity, freedom, and enjoyable gameplay. As the server continues to evolve, it is essential to adapt and refine the process of selecting Senior Admins to ensure the continued success and growth of TotalFreedom.


    By opening the Senior Admin application window on a full-time basis, we can create a more accessible and inclusive opportunity for interested individuals to contribute their skills and expertise to the server. This approach would provide greater flexibility for potential applicants, accommodating different time zones, schedules, and personal commitments. Moreover, it would enable a broader range of players to participate, leading to increased diversity and fresh perspectives among the Senior Admin team.

    Benefits of opening the application window full time include:

    1. Enhanced Quality of Applicants: Allowing the application window to remain open continuously would attract a more extensive pool of potential Senior Admins, increasing the chances of finding highly skilled and dedicated individuals who align with the server's values.
    2. Improved Staff Availability: By expanding the time frame for applications, the server's staff will have a greater opportunity to evaluate and engage with potential candidates, resulting in a more thorough selection process.
    3. Increased Community Engagement: Providing a continuous application window encourages community members to actively participate in the growth and development of TotalFreedom. Players who are passionate about the server and have the necessary qualifications would have an ongoing opportunity to contribute in a significant way.

    To implement this suggestion, I propose establishing a dedicated section on the TotalFreedom website or forums where interested individuals can submit their applications at any time. This section should include clear guidelines and requirements for Senior Admin candidates to ensure a fair and transparent evaluation process.


    By embracing this suggestion and opening up the Senior Admin window full time, TotalFreedom will further solidify its commitment to empowering its community members, fostering innovation, and maintaining a high standard of administration. I am confident that this adjustment will result in an even more enjoyable and fulfilling experience for all players.


    Thank you for considering this suggestion, and I eagerly await the positive impact it will have on the TotalFreedom Minecraft Server.

    I've re-read it and uh the wording's sometimes not so clear. It doesn't state there's a vote but it doesn't specify there's an automatic approval. I recall there was a suggestion to uniform the different reinstatement processes.

    fyi rage quitting admins have been treated as suspended staff in the past. this admin shouldn’t be held to any other standard given that they left the role following yurni’s ban and then questioned it for a week.

    Quote from FrutiKitty

    you have been seen to joke around a bit too much in serious situations, and are generally rather immature at most times;

    using his behaviour as an op in those times isn’t a valid comparison to what his behaviour could be like as an admin.


    with a small bit of training you’d make a good admin. vouch :)

  • An open discussion on what it is like to be staff on TF nowadays

    Quote from videogamesm12

    As a community, we must break this trend and realize that being intolerant pricks, even if you believe you are doing the right thing, is a godawful idea.

    im gonna be completely honest and this is not just to you but also to some of the other points made here including my own


    this thread won't get read by the target audience and the question we should really be asking is if it is worth even discussing this on here or maybe taking it up with the members who continue this behaviour

  • An open discussion on what it is like to be staff on TF nowadays

    It's important to consider both staff and user perspectives when looking at the current community, and so I would like to provide my opinion on this.


    I agree with all the points mentioned here. I returned to the Discord server last week and was met with rejection for an incident that took place almost 2 months ago. I didn't understand a mental health condition so I got told to off myself. Someone else didn't understand the same condition, so was told they may be responsible for the death of someone that night.


    As well as this, insults are not thrown as jokes anymore, but rather as actual insults. This has made even speaking in the chat an issue, especially for the likes of me who disagrees with a lot of opinions held by many here. It's not just other users either, there are staff members taking part in jokes like these without realising the effect it may create on other server members. Be a dickhead all you want, just don't be shitting on someone every time they talk in chat.


    A few nights ago, two of my friends (Cyclippy and neon) joined the server and did not understand why people were using bots to speak. These individuals were met with direct harassment, and whilst yes they did troll to the point they were banned, only one out of a number of individuals actually welcomed them to the community. TotalFreedom is already dwindling in player counts and now of all times we choose to push new players out?


    A light inspection over freedom-01 gives you an outlook on how things are right now. There's nothing wrong with venting every now and then; we are humans after all and we are not perfect. However, the fact that it's always the same group of people always rambling on about their issues and making conversations about themselves just turns the atmosphere sour. I'm not on about deep discussions here, but rather the talk of actual psychological disorders and the experiences one is going through them. I am not alone when I say this; it seems a lot of people are doing this for attention and don't seem to actually have a problem. TotalFreedom has and never will be equipped to handle these and if you do think you have a disorder, or an issue with mental health, please seek help from a trusted professional and not children on a block game.


    That's just my two cents on this. I'm not going to leave the community, but if I'm honest I don't see a future in the long run for many of the current members.
