    Luke's proposal is pretty detailed and I believe it can work.


    It can be implemented either as a variant of the long/indefinite ban request template that is added to the ban policy or as an extra option in the current one. What matters is that it must be immediately clear for the EBM that there's an active ban that requires a speedy confirmation.


    Of course, any abuse of the system must be punished according to the staff conduct policy.

    Thats the thing, it shouldn't really be a request, more a notification, requests take too long.


    As long as you can justify why this user should not be on the server, I think thats a fairly reasonable proposal.

    I've been an admin on TF, on and off for over 10 years now. I completely get some of the points you are making.



    You get criticized for doing your job, which is entirely voluntary. Sure everyone makes mistakes, but someone always has an issue with something. Its how we've operated for as long as I can remember, everyone has an issue but suddenly when the server needs their help its all your fault.

    I notice whenever shit hits the fan, suddenly people who haven't been on TF for years make an appearance and suddenly have an opinion about something.

    An example I can give about this is when I was an event host. I was busy with my own life, but when I did host events people just found ways to exploit it, making me look like a fool.


    and god forbid that you ban someone for doing something incredibly stupid, suddenly 50 TF lawyers appear and protest with some pedantic technicality.

    I did at one point start building a TF museum but I don't think I have that map anymore.


    But would love to do something like that again

    This is absolute bullcrap. I'm sorry, but there are much better ways to get around this. Steam is a good example of this, they use friend codes or URLs instead.


    I always liked the current system because:

    1)More people can have the same username if they wished

    2)Its safer with the discriminator too imo

    3)Removes a good nitro perk

    I used it for programming advice, its not always 100% accurate, but I tell you what its pretty damn close, especially when you give it a specific scenario

    I have been deciding about your application for a while. After some thinking, I am going to vouch.


    The reason why I have been thinking for sometime, because you do sometimes have the tendency to escalate situations a lot further than they need to be. I won't go into specifics or examples, but if you work on that, it would be great.

    What I will advise, think before you do, take a step back and think how you will deal with the situation.

    Remember as the most senior on the server, decisions will fall on you, when you don't think things have been done correctly.
