I'm not going to lie, I've gotten mad at some people in my past but I've seriously changed ever since.Very true except for when the game is free to play (TF2) and where Skial has strict policies against hackers getting second chances and ban evasions on alt accounts.

As much as I don't like upper's approach, I see his point. The guide, albeit informative, encourages fresh starts (just ban dodging and frowned upon in this community). If you're a staff member of a community, you can't have guides under the pretext of "social aid" that directly violate the rules of the community, no matter your personal beliefs regarding the subject (and I, for one, believe in second chances too).
That being said, I don't believe this says anything negative about you as an individual or potential admin applicant. I'm willing to believe you won't actively help people dodge (i.e. explain how to IP change), but if it were up to me I'd say any activity such as this guide has to go. This obviously doesn't include helping people with VAC, just not the circumvention part specifically.
On another note, I've seen you on trade twice, with Nicholas present. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I got the vibe that you were quite argumentative and thin skinned (you were having a childish fight with a person back then about tryharding or something of the sort IIRC and were really taking the bait). You also got worked up after reading upper's feedback. Being an admin involves dealing with trolls, assholes, people who are there just to fuck with you, people who go look for you on the server to kill you and taunt... if you have thin skin this won't work.
That being said, I can see the effort you're making with reports (just dont force them just for the sake of making your app look good). Reporting should be a genuine effort to keep the community clean not a milestone to be able to reapply). I also noticed your attempts to be helpful in the community and I can respect that. I don't doubt you're a good person overall.
I will be holding my feedback until I see your response.
I think that second point about getting worked up is falling victim to the fact you can't exactly tell the tone of people on the web. I am going to assume you meant my recently posted one. After upper posted it, i wanted to explain my reasoning for it, i was not having any feeling of being worked up making that post.
If i ever become an admin, I may remove that section from the guide so I don't give anyone any ideas.
I don't believe you on the thin skinned though, I don't have a spark of ire as much as I did 4 years ago. I'm not sure if you been on as of recent but I am not getting pulled in by trolls of any sort even though there hasn't been many.
