Hello,
in my opinion, like many people here, applicants should be chosen by their application itself. For sure, many people apply for Game Mod and have 3+ bans in 2017 (expired), this isn't good. But I think the applicants should also be chosen by the time the last bans expired. Like my last expired nearly 2 years ago and the others nearly 2,5 year ago (2015 & 2016). Anyway, it's a mass clean up for the SM, CMM and GMM.
But anyway, this is the decision by TMP and it should be respected in any way, even if many people have different opinions.
Kind regards
Tobias
