    I vouch for your unban, I think you were a bit mislead that you were unbanned although I do think you should've informed staff and I have no idea why you were even unbanned before the appeal was processed since that shouldn't have happened in the first place and stuff like that shouldn't be giving in, I don't really class that as true ban bypassing and I think you should be able to come back as you have served enough time already.

    I've looked at what other people said and I'll vouch but I think you should be able be able to keep yourself more composed when dealing with arguments and dramatic situations that may arise on the server, such as conflicts between ops where administrator intervention is needed. I've noticed a few people's reasoning for objecting and neutral was due to your behaviour and mental health but I don't see that as being a good reason to be against this application.

    What is your Minecraft username:

    evkc

    What is your Discord handle and discriminator:

    evkc (no handle)

    What is your GitHub username:

    evallll (https://github.com/evallll)

    What is your development environment:

    IntelliJ IDEA for Java, Visual Studio Code for anything else.

    Describe your experience with Java and/or Minecraft:

    I have been using java since 2020 and a bit before, I've coded multiple stuff relating to minecraft, heres a few:

    Spigot/Paper plugins,

    Minecraft protocol bots,

    A couple fabric mods,

    A couple discord bots and a beta offline-mode auth server.

    I do know quite a bit about the Java Minecraft protocol and I think I have a fair share of knowledge in the interworkings of the game, so working with this kind of stuff shouldn't be a major issue for me to work around.

    Please link your portfolio here, if applicable:

    Don't have a portfolio that shows my skills, I am quite proficient enough though and I think this is quite enough for me to be able to work on projects relating to TF.

    Vouch, you seem very professional when it comes to a lot of things and you're also good to get things done really concisely, especially having admin as mentioned above would allow you as a Developer on this server to have access to the server logs to better patch exploits that wreak havoc to the server when they'd occur, I think you are a nice candidate for this position and you will be a good asset to have.

    I hope in the future the server can more efficiently update to newer versions of the game since it'd be nice, I think the major slowdown now is just TFM but that is going to be canned soon enough which may benefit the server in the long-run since from personally looking at the code myself I think it is causing many performance issues for the server, I do hope that the plugin list is cleared up a bit more and that many of the issues that the server is facing now are out the window mostly. Anyway excited to see this happen and as long as I have all of my builds saved I should be fine, this has been a bit long-awaited by many people especially new stuff, I am advocating for a fast enough 1.20 rollout after 1.19 since 1.20 does add a few new stuff to the game which can be fun to use in projects such as hanging signs.

    > Have you first read the pre-application checklist (Click Here) and do you meet all the requirements and agree to all the standards within that checklist? (Yes or No). If no, your application will be instantly denied.
    Yes.


    > What is your Minecraft name and time zone where you normally are online? (e.g. GMT+1:00 or MST). - Your Minecraft name must match your forum name or your Minecraft name must be in your forum profile.
    Minecraft username: evkc, Timezone: GMT (or BST)


    > What date did you first join the Total Freedom forum? (MM/DD/YY). - Required 1 month forum registration.
    I cannot remember the date at which I first joined the forum since it was so long ago /before 2020) but I'll use my second account which is the earliest account I've had on the recent forums (saxophone), which was made on 11/01/20


    > Do you have a discord account? If yes, post your username#discriminator here. (Not required, but highly suggested).
    Yes, "evkc" (discriminators defunct as of the change of the handle format by Discord, I am on the new username system, former username eva#0365 which can be seen via the badge on my profile)


    > What describes you best? Choose student, employed, unemployed, or retired.
    Unemployed.


    > Do have any skills such as artistic design, coding, computer security, etc? If Yes, provide detail.
    I have a good amount of knowledge in operational security/computer security as I use things in my daily computing life (Linux for example over Windows) as I put myself first in security and computer freedom, in conjunction with this I also have a good hand in software development (coding, primarily I specialise in Java but I do have a handful of knowledge on languages such as python, javascript, golang and others such as lua) as I do make certain projects now and again in these languages.


    > How often can you be on the server to perform administrative duties? State either daily, several times a week, once or twice a week, or less than once a week. We realize that school or work will prevent constant service.
    Most weekdays after noon and weekends vary from early morning to late evening, I'll be sure to provide notice if I am not able to be of service for an extended period of time. (essentially I will be active daily but not at the same timeframe consistently)


    > Names of admins that have recommended you? (Must pm admin(s) to confirm recommendation.)
    Lyicx and Gommeh. (I have confirmed beforehand with them)


    > Do you have a family member or friend that shares your Minecraft account or a Minecraft playing family member with their own Minecraft account who might use our server or forum? (Yes or No). If so, are they presently an admin on Total Freedom? (Yes or No).
    No.


    > What personal qualities do you have that would make you a good admin? (Answer with a short paragraph).
    I'm a very nice and reasonable person to talk to and I generally get on well with people, I am fairly neutral when it comes to decision making such as banning a person I may be friendly with which means I have no problems enforcing the guidelines of the server on anyone who chooses to break them. I have a good deal of knowledge in how to moderate and I have been familiar with the commands used in TFM to administrate before (back when there were TotalFreedom clones/servers running TFM) although I may need a refresher of the commands so I may take a few moments to get used of it, but I think I'm in a well suited mindset to handle this position.


    > What continent do you live on? (e.g. N. America, Europe, Asia, Australia/Oceania).
    Europe.


    > Can you handle being an admin without it negatively affecting your school grades, work, family, real life, etc? (Yes or No). If no, your application will be instantly denied.
    Yes.

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

    > Are your accounts secure? Meaning are your passwords strong, not easily brute-forced, and not used across multiple websites?
    Yes, I have 2FA on my most critical stuff but not on disposable stuff which I use seperate email addresses for which are disposable, I have a keepassxc (password manager used on Linux and other systems) database which ensures maximal security in which I use to access my passwords which are uniquely generated and are usually greater than 16 characters in length for every service, I do use less secure/randomised passwords for local stuff not accessible digitally on the public internet (only physically) such as my computer but I am the only person in use of my computer and the password is 10+ characters.
