Someone who's level headed, it's good to see not everyone would quickly jump the ban wagon.
Regardless, my point still stands.
Intel griefing I'm ok with the decision to ban ( for a day ) I suppose. Although I see no reason why warnings aren't given as it seems to be the first offence.

Regardless, SCH is a level headed and active hightower player who likes to fool around and have a good time with the people on said server. Just because 2-3 players dislike "spawn camping" or have unneeded grudges against him shouldn't be a basis to not consider him because most everyone else enjoys playing the game with him. It's that added challenge other players aren't able to bring to the table we enjoy.

So what he "intel griefed" once ( god knows how long ago ). Everyone "slips" up every now and then.
And 90% of the time he's on the hightower server anyway, which doesn't have an intel.
So what exactly is the harm?
the thing is an admin is supposed to enforce the rules, not allow them or break them himself. Admins also look over ALL servers, the app is just asking which one you're on most of the time.
Also, the most recent photo of intel greifing was taken on may 27th, so not too long ago, and if he doesn't see a problem with that, then I don't think he is qualified for admin

Again, he's 90%+ of the time on hightower, he does absolutely nothing wrong on said server. Everyone slips up every now and then, we're humans and aren't perfect. Even the admins skial currently have aren't perfect, but you don't see them losing their adminship for breaking a rule intentional or not.

And considering hightower doesn't really have any admin that looks over it, having a more full time admin for the server doesn't hurt. I mean, if admins really look over ALL servers, I find it funny hightower doesn't have any moderating done ever.

He also DID see the intel griefing was wrong, as he never contested the ban that was given to him.
I don't contest it either. But again, no one is perfect and anyone claiming so is ignorant ( admin or not. )

There's way more to it than just griefing, look through the entire thread again.

Care to show me the "more to it" please ?

The only thing I see is an application, very professional communication on his part, pictures that he took of a single grief and people complaining he "spawn camps" which is a legitimate tactic that's easily stopped by taking another door.

I don't see what I'm missing, so I would like for you to kindly show me.

Votemenu abuse, taking pictures of people getting pissed off.

If there's this much debate as to whether he should be admin or not, he shouldn't be admin. That type of job is for people who receive a unanimously positive agreement and have a longstanding good reputation on Skial (and perhaps the Skial forums as well). Not only does this guy have neither of those, the only defense people are giving him is that he doesn't ever technically break the rules. Big whoop, if your prescence on a server causes others to leave the server, you should either quit griefing or stop playing altogether, and never apply for an admin position. Bad admins are for USEgaming, not Skial.

What don't you understand that he is PROUD of getting a response for his griefing, which also implies he's a troll - how is a griefing troll a good applicant for moderator in anything? You're trying to say "oh it's only one time" if there's screenshots of it, and the other two people who posted against him...one can also assume that this is not the only time he's been a douchebag. We're judging off assumptions for some things, however he himself posted proof of his own douchebaggery atleast once....Sure skial has a few controversial admins but at the end of the day, they don't grief the servers, nor have they ever. He posted a sarcastic ass apology, "conceded to the ban" (despite the fact he apparently didn't.), and instead of simply saying "I was a douchebag" says it was an isolated incident and tries to make up excuses for it.

Also in this thread is a few regulars who think that there'd be a massive mistake in him getting admin...or did you only read the positive posts? Controversy doesn't necessarily mean he shouldn't get admin, but when you throw in a controversial figure with a history of griefing (regardless of how many times) it's just not worth it in my eyes...maybe if you grow up some, stop intentionally griefing, accept your faults and improve upon them you'd make a good admin....but certainly not right now.

Although I'm rather late to the party.
I just felt like commenting on this post ( and the rest of your posts ish anyway )

The intel griefing is a valid reason for a ban, I see no harm in enforcing the rules for this.
But the fact you're trying so hard to find another reason to ban him is hilarious.
Votemenu spam ? How is that supposed to help your case ? You have 0 knowledge as to WHY they were used to begin with.
No concrete proof means you can't assume they were used to ban or mute players inappropriately or anything of the sort.
Is that how all the modding is done for these servers ? On pure assumptions only ?

If these are the kind of people modding the servers, I'm extremely disappointed.

applicant gets accosted

friend of applicant arrives to defend applicant very badly

First of all, I never votemenu spammed. We're all really grasping at straws and dismissing any evidence to the contrary when it comes to assumptions, especially given that there are only two malcontents as opposed to how many regulars with favorable opinions? Furthermore, I was never "sarcastic." I'm genuinely sorry. Stop putting words in my mouth.

Also, if I intel griefed more than twice you'd see it in my screenshot library.

The apology came off sarcastic, if you read it maybe you'll see it - if you don't, I don't know what to tell you. You don't seem repentant in the slightest, a person who accepted he's fucked up wouldn't say "OH I ONLY DID IT TWICE" he'd say "Yeah, I did it, I fucked up, I won't do it again" not say that he's only done it a few times and hasn't done it since. You obviously haven't accepted that you fucked up or we wouldn't still be discussing it.

As far as grasping at straws for the votemenu spam - I don't think that needs to be done as there's already enough proof in this thread of you being a general douchebag.
