appreciate the reply brother but it's far more complicated than that, it doesn't recognize the account as verified

[Salazaros]

Like i said in a previous post. MMartin is LOA and probably won't come back until after January when the server already is extinct. So don't get your hopes up @Jamalio.

One can only wish that Michael never left.

Greetings LS-RP!

 

Over the past few days, I have been working to make LS-RP a better place for both staff and players.

 

Firstly, I want to address some issues within the staff team, as they have been mentioned multiple times by both community members and staff. We have started to remove inactive members from the team. By the end of the month, all of our current "dead weight" will be removed.

 

After receiving suggestions here and internally within the staff team, I’ve revised some of our policies. One of the revisions concerns the rule that admins can’t handle their own situations. While the policy wasn’t explicitly worded this way, it was intended to prevent conflicts of interest or bias when admins were involved in situations. Admins could handle these situations if no other admin was available, but this was often misunderstood and didn’t happen in practice. For the sake of both players and the admin team, this rule has been removed. The admin team is now expected to use common sense, along with the training they received during their Trainee Admin phase.

 

Regarding policies, we’ve clarified our stance on "education over punishment." I believe this stance was misunderstood and taken too literally. Since the rule was introduced, there has been excessive leniency within the staff team when it comes to punishments. For example, you might have seen a level 30 player breaking basic rules and receiving multiple warnings instead of being properly punished. Our Admin Team has now been instructed on how to handle these situations, and you will see us becoming stricter with those who have previously abused this leniency.

 

In the past week or so, we’ve also increased the number of active mappers and modders on the team. You may have seen some of their work on our Discord. For those who haven’t, I’ll display some examples below that will be included in our next update.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The following is a WIP / Example of what the mapping team is up to, this is to do some long awaited map updates (THIS IS NOT FINAL AND CAN CHANGE) :

 

 

Along with this, I’ve worked with IFT/IFTC to establish a direct line of communication between our teams. This is aimed at improving wait times, communication, and addressing the various concerns that have been brought up in this thread. A special shout-out to anyone who has previously had issues with requesting maps or receiving responses from the modding or mapping teams. If you have maps ready and just need them added, feel free to send them over to me, and we’ll verify and add them.

 

One key point that has been raised is the new player experience. As @ROZE is our Head of Player Experience for SA-MP, I’ve asked him to investigate how leadership and development can improve this experience from the very beginning. We’ll have more insight and information on this soon. If you have any clear examples, please direct them to @ROZE.

 

I know there are many more points in this thread, but I hope this provides the transparency the community has been seeking. I will be working through the thread and taking everything into consideration, addressing quick wins where possible. Larger and more complex issues may take time to resolve, but I appreciate that the time to act is now, and we are doing just that.

 

I hope everyone is enjoying the Christmas festivities and spending time with loved ones. That’s all from me for now.

 

Peace & Love,

Jack

Why was the post and video proof about Eren/Andy_Walker removed? The fella that posted it said that he will be making a staff report about it. I guess that transparency flew over our heads with this.

Hiding it so public opinion doesn't cloud judgement on a staff report, while I'm all for transparency the case with Iudex was black and white hacking. This one is a little more complex with it surrounding LFM Rules, investigation into the situation, and so forth.

 

Last thing we need is for public opinion to go right out the window and demand action when the clip is severely out of context! The report has been forwarded for investigation regardless.

 

Along with that, if you look at the recommended post on this topic, it offers nothing constructive from a brand new burner account. This topic is not the place to do it, you get transparency when we are certain of actions and conclusions.

Appreciate the detailed and transparent answer on it, Jack! Hopefully the report is concluded soon and leads to a good result.

By the time we implement something in that construction zone spot, yeah it might be completely different. We're building examples and playing with different ideas.

[Eren]

Superb work from @jack and @Mmartin the changes are coming in fast and its all for the better.

 

Fingers crossed we see more changes as highlighted within this thread.

[Consistency]

Well done to the modding team. It's baby steps in the bigger picture but it is some very nice modding!!! @Nunwithagun
