I'd like to voice an opinion on this, as a long time player, a past donator, and a Member+ player.
I have a love/hate relationship with Fax.
On one hand, I enjoy most of his shenanigans. He adds an element of chaos to the server which otherwise would leave it somewhat bland. He has put many hours of work into the server in coding, maintenance and player relations. He is an interesting and intelligent person to talk to and a fellow vet, so he's okay in my book.
On the other hand, his shenanigans and attitude can sometimes be grating. Occasionally, he does get out of hand, but I have never really thought of him as malicious, only a prankster bringing character to the server. He has never done anything that I've seen has outright inconvenienced or otherwise ruined player experience. Taking that with a grain of salt, sometimes his personality can grate on you. Sometimes it can seem his position as a staffer puts him in a position where his law is rule and if you don't like it, there's the door.
So he's a mixed basket. But all in all, I have had an overwhelmingly positive experience with Fax as a player and an administrator. Pobody's nerfect, as it's sometimes said, and I hope that the judgement based on the above occurrences can be reconsidered. Further, for there to be additional past complaints against him, and it not be made clear to him at the time and an opportunity given to him to amend his ways or redeem himself seems a little unfair as well. I think it's fair to take into consideration his current situation as well , in regards to his behavior, which we had discussed due to shared experiences.
Long story short, I hope that he can be given a second chance, not just because it's a fair thing to do, but because of all the work he's done to and for our quiet little server. He has enriched many a player experience with his coding, lore and shenanigans in ways that are too numerous to write down, but surely outweigh more than several instances of poorly-considered tomfoolery. We get to keep a good player and staffer, and maybe Fax comes out a little more evenhanded from the experience. If not, I think that the consequences will far outweigh the benefits.
Thank you.
