dr. snortthisperc

By the looks of the logs, this is tonythebest just with a different name which is already banned from your previous report.

Thank you for your report.

Thank you for the report, this player is now banned.

Good application
Good reputation amongst the community
Great activity as well as rule & punishment knowledge

+1 for announcing the new law as sometimes I have my law board turned off entirely.
+/- for the laws to be outside of PD as it would add a lot of clutter imo.

I should win cause im da plug

1. the other staff
2. best community on gmod 

This is definitely as malicious as it can get over a video game, I don't think anyone wants their full name to be in public view of 40+ random people. I do not know about this situation other than what was said in your appeal, and in the comments, but you had to of known what you were doing was wrong in the time, yet you still decided to follow through with your choices. When real life and online life clash together it can cause some serious issues for people.
The information you provided to who knows what type of people could have been used to target, threaten, or harass some innocent teenager just trying to play a game with a few friends that they trusted to share their instagram with.
Aether is meant to be a safe place for people who want to play Garry's Mod for fun; not to leak others information. I'd like to see you stay banned.

Re-Rank Questions

• When Staffing did you cause any issues that were brought up to you by another Staff member? If so, what?: None whatsoever.
• Are you currently happy with your activity on the server and Forums as a player?: Forums activity could be improved upon, however there was not been too many topics that I wanted to add my input on anyhow. In-game activity is getting back to where I like it, getting in at least a hour or two a day.
• Have you read the most up to date rules and Staff Handbook?: Yes. Not much has changed regarding rules & staff handbook since my departure, and if there is anything it's nothing that a 5 minute conversation couldn't handle. 
• Are you certain you will be able to staff for 5 hours a week and finish at least 50 sits every 2 weeks?: Yessir.

Although I do not believe nearly greening out is an excuse. Will wait on Emiy for more information

We never really got close but you were always super cool and a great person to go to for answers, you'll be missed ❤️. Good luck moving forward!

- Rule 13: "You cannot force a raider to turn more than 9 times with props." This needs to be 100% made more clear, and I think the issue lies with too much information underneath it. This rule was made so that you wouldn't be able to make a huge long base that forced you to turn around and around over and over again, just to hit one door, and then do it again 10 more times. Unfortunately now this rule has become an entire mess in my opinion. Again for example, Takumi's base was checked by 6 staff members. All of them deemed it to be okay because some of the turns were "Forced". If you put a prop in front of a world door as the person enters, and it makes the player turn, that isn't not a forced turn, that is a turn in a base that counts.  

 This Image for example shows the turns. While you could argue turns 2, and 6 don't count if they're against a world wall, since the player would be facing that wall, that's fair but 3 and 7 definitely do since the prop is forcing them, not the world wall. Some staff have even been confused on this rule and I think it needs to be made more clear. 

Haven't got the time to respond to this fully in detail, but I 100% agree with you on this rule being updated and clarified better. I get into many argumentative sits over this rule, maybe a video demonstration that can be quickly referred to or even an image like the one you made will do just.

Unfortunately it wasn't JUST this one scenario, you had gotten yourself warned enough to be banned for 1 day; with that and you admitting to RDM'ing the guy -1

Luckly, I had @ThiccYethat kept me busy for a good 30 minutes by making a shit ton of hits.

+1 to have thicc warned for failrp

This discussion comes about every few months it seems like, if I remember correctly everyone had felt as if the hit timer was fine considering then it was a much higher payout; with how the economy stands today I definitely think that either a reduced cooldown or a buff in the randomized hit prices would actually do okay.
I don't really ever play the hitman job though so if there's any players who regularly play it that feel any different I'd like hear about it.

I've had like 3-4 different hits yesterday Regarding staff members, not 1 said not to do this, or anything they just say Hey who is it, i don't get it of why staff can just sit up there if there not taking sits.... whats the point

What's the difference from sitting in admin land and sitting in spawn? When I play assassin or hitman role I still get hits on people in spawn; you can't kill them either.
You don't know what baked was doing at the time, and whether he was taking a sit or just sitting there on his phone you still cannot make a false sit with the plans to kill that staff member.
If you even would've said "@ hey baked I've got a hit on you." I'm sure he'd have no problem letting you finish it.

@bakedpotato
I was only around for the end of this situation; but from what I understand you made a complaint in-game which bakedpotato responded too, and after he had teleported to you, you started attempting to kill him. Which doesn't go with your excuse that you wanted to RP.

Saying you have a question regarding a rule and then attempting to kill the responding staff member is never justified. We usually don't mind when players ask if they can complete a hit if we're not busy, but jumping to assumptions that he's hiding away up there and luring him to you via reports so that you may kill him for your own reasons is what got you warned for wasting staffs time.

Unfortunately without a clip to prove otherwise, this blatantly looks like MRDM through logs as Donnie showed.
If you did time out or crash your disconnection log should say so; however since you didn't follow the ban appeal layout I can't even look into the logs involved without ID.

With the long range of level up perks, I think it makes the player decide on what's more worth it to them. Whether they prestige to gain more passive AB, or go to level 400 for the casino resets to reset wheelspin every time. With what you're suggesting it would be pretty easy to have these perks active all the time; making it so you don't have to work to level back up to where you were to gain the same perks. I think there's definitely all lot of different things we can do with our prestige ranks, but I just don't think this one fits the system already in place.

I'd rather put in 10 hours to prestige than to prestige once every couple hours, like said above it would feel way less rewarding and significant.

Jerma has definitely proved himself to me since the last time I commented, with his playtime skyrocketing and his community interaction thriving I have no issues with Jerma once again joining the staff team once again.

Good Activity
Play time has improved since start of application

You seem to have a good grasp of the rules and punishments that follow, better shown in-game than on this application though. I've watched you interact throughout the community ever since you became an applicant and I'm pretty impressed with how well you're able to get along with people and calm down situations without even involving a staff member.

This player has been punished.
In future, use the format as the player may not always be online still.
