I'm glad that a couple of people have stood up for me here. As an active user, I should have the right to post my opinion here, as should anyone else. If it was someone like Delux applying, for example, I would have posted positively in favor of him receiving admin. I severely doubt that I would have been told to keep quiet by Cali had I posted positively about Netex- especially considering Cali later admitted to telling Netex to reapply. Come on now, man. What's the point of having a Staff Application section of the forum if users aren't allowed to comment? There should be as much transparency as possible when it comes to decisions like this. Also, does anyone else find it highly suspect that Cali privately told Netex to reapply, then a week later announces his semi-goodbye? Am I missing something? Seems insane to me.

I will say I completely agree with some of the sentiments in here given by rookoo concerning Netex's desire to make these servers hacker/troll-free. I don't know if I can think of anyone more committed that isn't admin yet. In that regard, I do agree that he should be given power to ban people based off of demos. His post history is full of absolute shit, but one thing Netex gets right is his non-biased judgments of demos. I think the admins here are spectacular at this as well for the most part, but it would certainly not hurt if Netex was allowed to review demos and have some sort of say in who gets banned and who doesn't.
