Kettermelon 136 / 4,927 Report Post Posted December 6, 2020 First of all, I'm not leaving. This is solely to go into more detail as to WHY I resigned rather then just leaving with "am tired gbai." I've still got people to bully and props to be used as projectile weapons. Idk how many of my Rot bois know, but Rotation wasn't my first joy ride as an admin, I entered the community way back in January of 2019 through Prop Hunt and started my Staffing experiences there. I was admin for about a year maybe less with some interruptions. How I got here was uh, interesting. Basically I got Steam in December 2018, and started playing Prop Hunt because Markiplier was doin it and it looked fun. The first server I joined I uh, fell into the wrong group of people and was banned for following in their footsteps (nothing super bad just breaking maps and abusing commands to make myself unfindable). I later found GFL and, being the dumbass that I am, did the same thing. Once I started making friends how ever, I started to stop doing it as often, and eventually decided to go for staff because I was usually on when Admins weren't. Basically first app was denied, but second app was accepted and thus began my staffing days for GFL. About 1-2 months after becoming a Trial for Prop Hunt, the previous manger resigned and made his own community, and in the process introduced me to TTT. Since their server was still new, there wasn't a lot of players on. So when I found GFL had two TTT servers I decided to try them out. When I joined the oh so famous TTT MC Rotation, I fell in love with the game mode and eventually became a regular. Only problem was I would use it to vent my problems and issues from other sources, but never the less made some friends. For the first like, 6-7 months of playing I was a toxic little shit. Around August I tried going for staff in Rot and inevitably failed due to toxicity. Unfortunately, that wasn't enough to keep me away ;D. I continued playing only a little more quiet. Every 2-3 months I would ask an Admin or two if they'd be willing to Sponsor me, and some took it as me trying to force my way back in, but I was trying to see if I was improving at all by getting feed back from the staff. I did how ever, go on a rant last year about the sweatiness of the server at the time(those here when the leaderboard was here know what I mean), and took a an hour break from the server before getting beaned for "Hacking" (I never hacked, was just a super sus video of me, believe what you will but I am not smart enough to figure that shit out). Said ban forced me to take a break for about a month or two and during that time I did some talking with the manager and some admins to find ways of how I can improve upon my toxicity. Thank you to @Royal. and @Lunar Blade for helping me with that :D. I was unbanned a couple of days before my birthday (also the day I joined the forums/actually became a part of this community) and played for another 2 months before resigning from staff (yes I was still a Prop Hunt Admin through all this) in March this year. I played some other games for a bit, and came back a bit later to was what was poppin during the time I was gone. When I came back I met the bestest ppl ever that helped me rekindle my love for Rot and this community. @NorthernBear @Kirito_dualswords @BraeLyn2212 and @KeiraJJ. I made even more friends over the summer and started playing the game to have fun rather than to win. Come August Kirito (an Admin at the time) recommended that I apply for staff, so I did and started my journey to repent for my sins. Thanks to @Reverb and @Kirito_dualswords for the sponsors, and the staff team at the time for giving me a chance to help the server I love playing on. Fast forward to November and I'm noticing I'm spiraling back into my old habits after seeing some of my friends leave, so when @Surreal Images (Shifty) and @BionycBlueberry asked me for sponsors, I thought "I'm kinda burning out, so lets get some people who can do my job but better" and I do truly believe the 3 new Trials can bring amazing things to the Rotation community and staff team. It might sound lazy, but in reality I do hold myself to high expectations when dealing with staff matters and while on the server, so if I believed they could do better than I could it made me feel better about resigning. Come to present day and I was debating on whether or not I actually want to stay as a staff member, that past couple of experiences I had been on the server I realized I had more fun just playing the game rather than dealing with reports, banning nerds, and handling toxic cuks. So I notify staff that I'm resigning and decided to make this post as to why, although it really just explains my time here in Rotation. Jist is, I've been staffing for over a year and just want to go back to the good ol' days of being a VIP/Member, playing around with friends without having to worry about moderating and how I'm representing the community. I love all you Rotation nerds and will continue to bully you with my presence, just not as staff 😄 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options... Achievements

Royal 94 / 3,066 Report Post Posted December 6, 2020 Honestly Ketter, I'm really proud of you. Not many people are able to acknowledge and take responsibility for their toxicity, and actually work to improve on it. You've grown a lot as a person during your time here and it's awesome. I respect the heck out of how much you care about the server and I'm happy for you man. It's good that you recognize your burn out and that you've passed on the torch, I relate to a lot of the things you said. Your words show responsibility and maturity, and I'm really happy to see the growth you've made. Thank you for all you've done to help rotato ❤️ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options... Achievements
AlphaOwl 307 / 7,573 Report Post Posted December 6, 2020 I remember when I first started playing a lot and you just being a member at the time, and getting to know you more and more the many months I played. I remember joking about how we'd be joint admins, not realizing you actually applied, so it was quite surprising to me when you did, and made me happy cause I had good faith in you. I wasn't present for anything past March of this year, but I feel like you approached your role as admin very seriously to make sure you didn't make any errors along the way, and I feel you did a good job. Thanks for all your hard work Ketter, and I guess I'll see you back on the prop-killing battleground. TTT Rotation's PR and ex-SM. Don't worry, there'll be plenty of fanservice!

Joshy 4,363 / 44,852 Report Post Posted December 7, 2020 Hey, just wanted to let you know that a comment is hidden in the thread and so were the responses to it. It wasn't against the rules we're not handing out warnings just that they were seemingly provoking (without context) and kind of spammy. Really appreciate heartfelt threads like this sharing your perspective and reasons. It's very valuable for the community and also prospective admins- a lot of people risk taking bigger bites than they can chew, and often choke. Being able to step down is usually a very good gesture... great to pass on the torch and share you story, and we all just want to have fun. Thanks a lot!

oCall Me Shifty 22 / 637 Report Post Posted December 7, 2020 This is bitter sweet for me to be frankly honest, i know you aren't leaving our community but as i have previously mentioned after the news, while i am happy you are sticking around to still play with us, its just all still weird to me that you're stepping down while you brought me on lol. Not to mention i learned a majority of my staffing from you. However i totally understand this in every way, as things like this simply will not last forever, that much i am aware of. In which i accept, in any case i sincerely do thank you for the time you put into the server and the community alike. Its a blast with you and i intend on upholding your placed trust within me. Once more, thank you for everything, lets continue to make some more good memories my smol friend! P.S we deffo will still prop kill each other (; Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lunar Blade 178 / 3,309 Report Post Posted December 8, 2020 Ketter! I remember when we first interacted. I was new to the server, and I killed you for... something. Don't remember the exact details. But you thought it was RDM and I didn't. Mario slayed me for it, and I did argue with him why I thought I shouldn't have been slain for it. It was at that moment that my first impression of you was born, and it wasn't a great one. But as time went on and things changed, so did you and my impression of you. It's been so long that I can't honestly pull up any specifics. But I can tell you that when you got banned for hacking, I didn't believe it. Even if I didn't like you, I really didn't think you'd go so far as to hack. The only reason I didn't like you was because you were defending what you thought was RDM, even if at the time you were being rude about it. So someone who was attempting to uphold the rules in their own way wouldn't have gone so far as to start hacking... just because. It did take me a while to think that you'd be fit for staff again, though I can tell you for sure that I did reach the point that I would have accepted you before I left. I had a lot on my plate at the time, lot of people to deal with so I never really talked to you about it. But I want to personally thank you for your service towards GFL and it's servers, Rot or otherwise, and I hope you stick around and have a good time as a member of the community. We had a poor meeting, and I don't think we ever really made up from it. I don't know how you felt about me, but I do regret never reaching out to talk to you after a while. But I greatly respect your commitment to the community, despite being denied, and even banned for hacking. See you around! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
