Since we're addressing the topic of it being a mistake, I'd like to say a few things.

1. The whole situation was a joke blown way out of proportion due to the rather poor handling and personal biases held towards certain subjects by a few people (in my eyes). Hell, Clarky spoke to Chute about it, who agreed that all it came down to was a bit of a laugh which clearly didn't harm anyone.
2. The video (which I still haven't seen) has evidently omitted parts in which I make sure EVERYONE is comfortable and make sure the situation isn't affecting anyone. The argument that someone had to have been affected enough in the situation to report it is false; TheXnator and OnionRings were spectating, and upon being caught attempting to spectate a fellow staff member at a higher rank than him, TheXnator attempted to escape via noclip instead of accepting a level of fault and speaking rationally.
3. We're acting like what I did was a horrendous mistake that negatively impacted numerous people; what needs to be kept in mind is that EVERYONE was comfortable with all the behaviours that occurred. We made it explicitly clear that they were able to stop anything at any time and realistically, we did absolutely everything to make sure that no harm was caused to them.

My "mistake" is being made out to be somehow comparable in magnitude to me blurting out some egregiously racist statements in OOC coming from a place of genuine belief, when it's rather evident that it's an internal issue with how similar private situations are handled within the community as opposed to some massive wrongdoing from my part.

I'd call it a small mistake at a stretch solely within the scope of the community as opposed to within the scope of my personal beliefs, statements, and character, and if that's truly enough to dissuade you and the rest of the lead team from voting on me because "more time is needed" without any sort of genuine explanation, then there's clearly greater internal issues than my super admin application which should take priority.

However, I appreciate your post.

[quote="Dr. Richard" post=1104228]I won't be mentioning what happened recently since/if you don't feel comfortable talking about it publicly, i feel as you should wait a bit longer since Super Administrator applicants shouldn't make mistakes, especially a mistake like that. Don't get me wrong, you definitely have potential and will surely get Super Administrator, but i don't believe it will be this week. I'll of course put some of the positives below so you know where You're at and what to keep up. :check: Consistent in-game activity :check: Benevolent :check: Active on both TeamSpeak and Forums :check: Consistently high F1 count almost every week :check: Attends the meetings and expresses his opinion with no issue :check: Handles Appeals/Reports frequently As I've already said, don't get me wrong, you are honestly a great guy and a good person and with no doubt a future SA, but i don't think this is your week.
