    We raised it to 10 because people abused the system and it became cancer. i don’t personally see a compelling reason to lower it to something that low given the shite i see starred.


    i’d be open to lowering it to 7 or something but not as low as 5

    evemorninoonight all


    I'm posting this because there's been an issue cropping up on TF regarding Akefu/fssp who frequently joins and bypasses to spam. I'm making this post to say that yall need to just ignore him


    attention is what these people want. even in admin channels, we have admins who leak these things regularly and a reaction is literally all they are going for.


    i'm saying this because people seem to be freaking out in server chat and all and it just needs to stop people


    now I understand this thread may be a bit ironic but I feel it's necessary in order to convey the message i'm saying

      taah I cant lie I could’ve phrased that better my point was that i’m against the community uprising to try and force people’s hand. i understand that may not have been your intention and i’m not targetting that at you but my point overall stands.

      jwmphall Luke I am going to level with you for a second. You are one of the least self-aware people I have ever encountered.

    mustn’t have met a lot of people if a dude on the internet is the least self aware person you’ve met

      jwmphall You side with authority on every single matter yet always somehow seem to think you’re saying something important and groundbreaking.

    i say my opinion. i don’t particularly care if it’s nothing new nor do I particularly care if it’s ‘groundbreaking’ when most times im aware its not. i’m also fully aware i’m not well respected from individuals on tf, and that is fine. at the end of the day, it is my opinion and i make that myself whether you believe that or not.

      jwmphall How do you not see that there is a large portion of people who disagree with the suspension, and Video himself said he’d be open to reconsideration?

    when the fuck did i say that 😂😂 im just going along with

      Paldiu We look to the community for necessary feedback but outright demands are pretentious


      jwmphall And you say you’re tempted to support the suspension; not because you inherently agree with it - but because people disagree with it.

    funnily enough prior to this threads creation i was leaning towards kanst’s side. i support the idea of upholding a suspension because i don’t want to see the eao be bullied into doing something. strawman that if you wish.

      jwmphall You try to create a persona of irreverence and contrarianism yet never deviate from having a safe opinion because you can’t take criticism.

    interesting. i disagree, but interesting.


    one thing yall don’t know is that i challenge a lot of what gets said in discord mod lounge, senior lounge, and i speak out a lot against what people say, just not publicly. i personally believe things can be resolved without a big callout.


    i genuinely enjoy little case studies that attempt to delve into my persona. you see a little slice of me in tf, and most times you see what i genuinely think. there hasn’t been many if any instances in recent times where i’ve sided with ‘authority’ because i’m ‘afraid’ of not having a safe opinion, and I don’t know if you noticed but siding with authority is not safe on TF given how many people don’t like server authority.

      jwmphall In the server and on the forums you consistently treat others like garbage yet somehow expect for people to take you seriously and care what you think.

    i’m just gonna put this straight, i do not care what people think about me as an individual. if something or someone is retarded, i will call them retarded. if i believe something is wrong or stupid, i will say so. what I wont do is pester and bully, and if anyone comes to me privately or publicly and says ‘yo luke can you stop’ i will stop.


    that’s not to say I necessarily don’t care what people think. as i said, if what i say is a big issue, let me know and i will stop. people on here can attest to this.


    despite what it may seem i do genuinely respect you’ve come out and said this though. i don’t bear any ill will towards you for doing so, and I understand why you say this and in future I’m definitely gonna try to be less blunt as it’s causing more problems than i expected.

    i think i’ve stated before i’m neutral for the most part. i don’t care at this point.


    that being said


    i’m really tempted to just support the suspension purely cuz yall think ‘you must do what we say’ is in any way valid and will work. at the end of the day caleb is the one who makes the decisions even if you guys don’t like it and we aren’t doing what happened in seth’s time where the community dominated because people wrote paragraphs explaining why seth bad

    on tf often there with some users theres a ‘cycle’ so to speak. For example, Dragon always reinstates, makes a joke, gets indef suspended again


    In this case, shdwo always gets unbanned, acts like a wanker, and gets rebanned.

      Yurni I was banned for making remarks that to some, may have been interpreted as blatant racist behaviour. My true intentions were that the phrasing of these remarks, in the context of chat at the time, were nothing more than jokes, as stated almost a minute later. It’s been some time since my last ban appeal took place, of which resulted in an expected outcome that I have from then, learnt from and bettered my behaviour. Even though I had no ill-intent when making such remarks, I do understand that it may have still been offensive to some, and wasn’t at all appropriate for the server. These individuals have my utmost respect and I lately offer my deepest apologies to whoever may have been offended.

    To me this just seems like a paragraph of victim blaming - ‘it may have been offensive to some’ ‘some may interpret it as racist’ ultimately saying it was only offensive cuz they wanted it to be. The slapped on apology at the end was prolly only really done cuz u went ‘o shit i need to seem legit lol’


    basically shdwo to put it bluntly: fuck off.
