    I think you have good intentions @Arestios But I think you have looked a bit deep into who this might offend and ended up making the whole situation worse. I think there should probably be something talked about to staff about what the boundaries of nsfw is as there is obviously a communication breakdown here.

    I agree with what Danny says, I feel there is an undiscussed point here about where the line draws for what is "NSFW".

    If we're really being technical here, "Erection" isn't a word that is inappropriate, it's the proper term to say what Dae put in chat prior. If I'm being honest, in a server where players from time to time will paste a low-quality penis dupe, I don't think even the word "boner" is necessarily NSFW.

    I think this is definitely something we should bring up in a future staff meeting, as it would greatly benefit those who want to help out and keep everything clean, including @Arestios who clearly didn't have malicious intent. We need to know what the fine line is for things like this in the future, and how to properly handle it with the player's expectation.

    I understand the P2W aspect of what players are suggesting here, and I do think it's important that ultimately it doesn't become that kind of game, but I don't believe that's the intention.

    I don't feel that being AFK is what Jouaram intends when he adds "Passive Aether", and more he wants to reward the players who are in-game and actively playing. Since as long as you're in the server and whatnot you will earn passive AB. It is a plus you may AFK and earn it which I feel like all it takes is leaving the game on, when you already get 5x the passive on weekends (Which also promotes playing the game more which you have to in order to earn levels and prestige).

    On top of this, there is still a chance to get AB, although it is miniscule, you can still earn it. My pitch would be to change the amount of AB to something of higher amount, that way it's actually worth the 1/20 chance to try and shoot for it. 

    My vote will stay this way since I'm not 100% for completely changing the wheel back, I do believe more risk is needed as it's a heavily farmed item in the game. But the amount could increase since of the rarity, and I don't believe 777 is enough to grind the wheel.

    In the clip I can see @akuma is near, I wonder if they have any insight or opinions to add.

    It's hard for me to credit either side of the story given I wasn't really paying attention at the time of this clip, I was trying to help Bees fix the fountain structure he pasted. Going off what I hear in the clip, @legend was definitely repeating something fast, and enough times where it may have been misheard from all the noise playing at the same moment.

    In my opinion, with the clip being a little hard to hear I would've taken that into consideration and continued to spectate for a bit longer to catch if he does it again. If it was a genuine misunderstanding, I think it would've been ironed out given he would've not said it again afterwards.

    Making bans just off of assumption is not very staff like, even though you did talk to Donnie who was a higher up, the clip of Legend "supposedly"  saying the word is missing a lot of context, like what legend said after and before. 

    However, I do not think Pancakes or Donnie are in the wrong for the quick solution they came to, given legend's previous warns and both of their own opinions taken into consideration. To say this was purely based off assumption isn't correct, there are multiple aspects that play into the punishment given. 

    +1 Even though I do feel like this punishment was fair, and Pancakes and Donnie are not in the wrong based off their decision-making

    That's crazy you say I'm lying lol. Good work T-mod. Read the staff handbook bro, I'll send a link https://docs.google.com/document/d/1B8epud7h4ptV5xRB5LDK19VGJ1J5Ntr60uKqJxRyKGg/edit#heading=h.kw55r1dogrzr 

    Watch what you said in the clip. You might of forgot that you let it slide.

    Those may be the words I used but I definitely told him not to say it again. I have nothing further to say.

    It was that interaction and they are not trimmed to the point where you cannot see what you said and he said, so that point is invalid.

    The new clip you just posted is 4 seconds longer then the original clip and still does not show what I said after he had said it.

    The only clips I have are those because of my medal software.

    And this is a lie. Your software shows at least up to 15 seconds of footage given your original clip above.

    Didn't mean for it to come out... but says it twice in a row? If he backtracked then why did he say it again right after he stopped the first time? You can hear it under my screaming. You did make it seem like saying the N-word without the er was not a big deal as provided in the clip above.

    1. As I previously stated you did not show the entire clip as It would show that I also was not cool with him saying that word. I told him he is NOT allowed to say that and doing so again would result in punishment. 2. The fact he did not use the hard R does play a SMALL role in the multitude of reasons I decided not to punish him for it. Never did I say it wasn't a big deal or that it's all good. He was told not to say it again.

  6. Here's my defense in response to the racism claims:

    Your clips are massively trimmed to a point where multiple sentences said before and after the fact are completely removed, losing all context to what we we're discussing at that moment. When "suckmytoes" said what he said, he immediately backtracked and re-worded what he originally said, and apologized on top of that for it being accidental.

    I do not approve nor do I condone the use of the n word at all, However, it's easy to acknowledge that many people use the word beyond this server. When he said it, he used in the context you would just refer to another person, not in a derogatory/racist manner. Had "suckmytoes" said it with the intent of being racist as well, it would've been a much different case. You also cut out the part where I was ALSO surprised and said roughly along the lines of "I'm not sure why you said that but I'm gonna need you not to say that again". I didn't necessarily "let it slide".

    "Suckmytoes" also received a warn after your jail was handled, and I also sternly told him after giving him the warn that he can by no means use that word again in this server, Regardless of the way he says it or what the context is. 

    Tim, If you are seriously offended by what "suckmytoes" said to you, then I do apologize that you feel like this wasn't handled correctly. It's my intention to treat people fairly and under my discretion I felt it was fair to let it go after he agreed to not use it again, and apologized.

  7. Really great answers here, well constructed and not too long. The format is clean and easy to read as well.

    Definitely an improvement from your last application, and it shows you're serious about this in my eyes.

    You got your last application denied due to being warned while it was active, however, you did not let this stop you from turning in a brand new app immediately (an even better one at that). I also see this as a good quality, and I'm sure the other staff can agree with that as well.

    Good luck luxe, +1
