Fair reply Dread, and like I said it's not as if I'm saying the entire GP team is garbage or something because Jarace, TD, and yourself have personally replied to my issues several times. Again though, the reason I have to hawk you guys down is because my experiences with some others haven't been as responsive and helpful.

The thing about hiring which is always pretty unrecognized is that we're looking for presentable people that are capable of making the right decisions and aren't too biased to any certain category of the game when it comes to policing.

I'm not sure what bias you mean though. Do you mean if someone has a lot of experience towering, they would be biased in favor of players who tower? If that's what you're saying, I'm sure that applies to any staff member who has a group of friends from any part of the game.
I think any GP should know how to handle harassment issues and things of that nature, but what the GP team seems to be lacking are players with levels of understanding in gameplay areas. For example, I've been banned before for standing in a doorway at a tower and using the full duration of my blink (
screenshot). It's kind of demeaning to have to explain to someone (who probably has very little towering experience) that what I'm doing is a gameplay mechanic and not some manipulation of lag.
Why don't you guys actively seek out players who have a grasp of specialty areas (like spars and towers) and have them police there? I'm sure towerers would be much more comfortable having someone like an Areo or Kosiris (purely examples) determing if what they're doing is against the rules compared to someone like Electron or Iron (no offense to them). The same goes for sparring. Fulgore was actually hired for the purpose but had to resign because he lost access to his laptop. You think it would bring bias, but I think it would bring experience and actual changes to those areas that are often affected by cheating. It's natural, because those players actually care about the areas of the game they're policing.
