Not only am I super late to this shitfest, but I also don't have too much to say, but since I was on the receiving end of the wrath of Ace numerous times I think it's pretty fair for me to at least say SOMETHING.
Really the jist of it is this mess right now is not even remotely surprised based off my experience with the ban forums leading to me not only dealing with my own appeals, but also curiously watching a few others. Anyone who has does the same already knows where I'm going with this: waaaay too many times the admins and even OTHER HEADMINS would come to a decision on the post, then you'd just come in out of nowhere and just make your own decision and either accept or close the appeal. That's just terrible leadership, man, it makes the other staff feel like they're just totally pointless when you pull shit like that. What's the point of spending all the time talking with the person on the chopping block and reaching a decision if mr. host man can just swooce in at the last minute and throw it all into the bin because of his own personal feelings? Like holy smokes there's no way this hasn't been brought up in the admin chat and stuff before since it's so glaring of an issue, it's astounding that that level of bullshit continued all the way until now where it has finally blown up and you're acting like this is some sort of sudden and surprising revelation? That mess combined with your extremely unpredictable bouts of anger created a whole mess of not only overriding other staff entirely because "i'm the host and I can", but also making the players ABSOLUTELY TERRIFIED of you. Whenever I saw you looking at one of my appeals, regardless to how it was going, I felt PURE DREAD creeping up into me, knowing full well some overly volatile, bias filled mess of a post was about to get slapped down and my appeal would potentially be RKO'd by it.
That shit led to me, like I'm sure many others, just going to literally any other active staff besides you with complaints or...anything to do with the server, really. Even if the complaint was about you, I'd go through some other admin to make it just because I felt if I tried to say anything, I'd just get banned on the spot no matter how many times you say "nobody will be banned for complaints". You're unpredictable, volatile, and created a sea of unease around you from the playerbase, and I doubt that's ever going to go away with how long your "rule" over the server happened, to put it bluntly. You've gotta retire either permanently or for a long time, man. Like shit remember when you got back from that camping trip and immediately went on a tangent about how you almost killed someone else there because they almost made a friend of yours OD or something? That's not...something to just blurt out right in a public channel to the players who already see you as unstable and weird, dude, like holy shit.
