Why?

[Agorith]

3: User must maintain the standards of that of an administrator (I.E. They have to be a rule following player. Aka, they cannot INTENTIONALLY break the rules, ingame as well as on the forum)

This is an incredibly important point.

Do you REALLY want me to expose you along with your irrational, immature and toxic behaviour?
Except I can't do that, can I? Because once again conveniently for you, I'd be leaking information that is not to be discussed with the general playerbase and stays within the office.
I know you very much dislike me, Awestruck. 
And you're probably doing your darn best to come up with anything and everything on the thread in the office in order to keep me from receiving my tags back.
Hell, you'll probably even use this reply against me on said thread.
But set your personal grudge and bias aside for once, and realise what I've contributed administrative wise has been of much more importance than the issues I've caused.

I've never claimed to be an angel, I've even owed up to mistakes on this thread just a page away.
I have made questionable decisions under temporary moments of negative emotions, but nearly nobody in either the current or previous staff teams can say they haven't had those moments.
Worse staff have gotten their tags, if they deserved them then I certainly do so aswell.

Sorry, what? Where in the world did that come from. Your intentional saltiness has caused distress on both sides of the spectrum. You constant threats to "expose" me are becoming incredibly petty at this point. It seems you're all bark, but no bite. I never disliked you, I just disliked how your multiple abuses were handled and the way you conducted yourself in certain aspects. You can come up with all these conspiracies about how the 'big evil AwestruckBullet is doing everything in his power to remove me from the face of a gmod community', but that just doesn't cut it. Accusations bode very differently to facts.

Of course, you have made your mistakes, and yes you have owed up to them, which I highly respect. But, it had got to a stage where it became frequent, and this frequent attitude which has actually still stuck as is apparent by the whole team. I will not speak anymore for them however. If they wish to give their opinion they can do so.

"Worse staff have gotten their tags", this does not justify whether you should have your tags back or not.

Intentional saltiness comes from intentional laziness I had to keep enduring as a dedicated administrator, and it obviously still frustrates me beyond that rank as does it frustrate many more of the playerbase.
Except I've been there, and my intentional saltiness doesn't just randomly grew on a tree, it came from experience and seeing the facts of how things work around here.

You know damn well my facts are from within my position in the team thus I'm not allowed to speak up with straight up facts, only undetailed accusations. Or barks as you call them.
Constant threats? I've given you one threat on here which isn't much of a threat as I mentioned I can't even give them out.

The only thing I can DO is bark, if I bite it'll get used against me and I'll get put into bigger shitstorms which I have no need to be in any longer.
They're not goddamn conspiracies and you know it.
You hold the upperhand because I can't give out the facts I could use against you.

The way I conduct my opinions troughout the forum you dislike, however they're straight to the point.
I've never been one to just bullshit my way around something and beat around the bush.
Just because you don't like the way I've voiced my opinions on here does not grant you the right to straight up ignore & dismiss them and dislike me for it.
Not once have I seen a valid response or ANY response to my factual saltiness on the forums as of late, I wonder why that is.

And no, it does not fully justify as to whether or not I should receive my Veteran tag back, but I've listed plenty more reasons to this than just that one liner.

I was done here, I resigned with good reason.
But then you went ahead and banned me with invalid reason, then once you fixed that mistake you left me with no tags nor explanation.
I never caused any of this, I was out and happy to be out but then I got pulled straight back in, which I'd rather would not have happened, trust me.
But in the end I'll be the dramaqueen, right? Just because I want back what was mine and unrightfully taken from me out of nowhere.

I'd say I've been punished enough by being put into this cancerous shitstorm.
