You admitted on multiple occasions that you friendly because it's what the people on the server are currently doing. You admitted this while in an admin application.
You even go as far as applying for admin less than a week after breaking a rule that you previously got banned for prior to that.
You then heavily imply in your admin application that you let your emotions get the better of you, a bad quality for admins.
You refuse to report people for breaking the rules because you "don't want to make them upset" then expect to be given powers to ban people (which would obviously make them upset)
I'm not putting words in your mouth, you're making yourself look bad by yourself.
Let me reiterate something I said earlier:
"
Please let me know what else I have to defend myself against. I have reasons for what I do and how I act, and when I don't have reasons, I'm honest and come clean/admit to being wrong.
Yes. I was wrong for playing a friendly class on one or two occasions after being banned for 24hrs.
No, I didn't do that with the intent of hurting someone or angering someone. I maybe played as a friendly class for 5 minutes til I got bored of it anyway. I don't spend entire games as a friendly class. And I did it when there was still room on the server for people to join. It was a late night thing. I wasn't keeping anyone from joining the server.
As far as the mutes, just to reiterate, I don't recall being muted.
If I was an admin on hightower, I would warn people playing a friendly class whether or not they're on my friends list. I understand that being an admin will require me to mute/ban people and it will cause some people to hate me. I feel like I've earned enough respect from the players on this server regardless of the few that like to try and harass/bully me off the mic.
I get that I probably won't get any position this time around, but, I want to try and clear the air before this thread is closed.
"
Would you rather me lie and say that I've never played friendly before? I'd rather come clean and admit to it.
I broke the rule for maybe 5 minutes tops. It was late at night. The server wasn't even all that full, so I wasn't taking up someones spot. After the friendly thing, it turned into a bloodbath, which I also explained.
I didn't heavily imply my emotions get the better of me. Yea, things that people say bother me, but I didn't lock myself in the bathroom and slit my wrists. Am I not allowed to get offended by some of the crap people say to me?
It's not that I "refused" to report them, it's that I didn't bother. It's kind of like the bystander effect. Sorry I wasn't as forceful when it came to reporting everyone on the server.
As far as the "repeat offender" charge goes, I admit that what I did was wrong, and I won't do it again. Shit happens. I'm only human. You act as though you're pristine and like you've never done the same wrong thing twice. Prior to being banned for playing as a friendly heavy, I didn't know it was against the rules. I didn't do it for a long time. I avoided playing heavy altogether even. But y'know what. People make mistakes. And I can only talk in circles for so long.
