Can we bring back the old playerbase count?

[JesterJr]

I get your idea, I agree with you.

 

The dismissive and superior attitude that you'd do everything much better is what makes me want to defend it, but it's easy to just judge, and also makes the distance bigger.

So I won't.

 

All I can do is pretty much take your opinion and use it in the future if it happens, maybe share the mindset as much as I can.

 

Although it'll change nothing, to be honest. Because again, there will be one thing that someone won't like and complain again, point a finger to the staff and the hiatus between them and on and on.

I apologize wholeheartedly if that is the attitude that I give off but I’m genuinely speaking from a perspective of personal experiences and what I believe in my opinion would’ve been a better verdict. I have nothing but the best interest for the entirety of the server, and more importantly I applaud you and the other staff members who share the same best interests in the server and are actually striving to make a change. 
 

Truthfully, criticism can apply to all the entities that make LSRP what it is. Doesn’t matter if it is staff team, illegal/legal role players or civilians, no matter how hard we try to fight admitting it, have contributed to what LSRP has become today. 
 

 

[JesterJr]

I fully feel you Michael.

 

And discussions are there to make things better.

I just hope more people read through them to educate instead of thinking it's a few people yapping on a "dead game" or fuck all lsrp cause some people in the past were idiots.

This type of mentality is the main bone to pick I've had with the administrative team so far, obviously there's a disconnect between players and admins when the staff refuses to see an issue unless it's given to them on a silver platter. 

 

 

 

 

While I do agree that there's a somewhat of a disconnect between staff & players in some areas, the community needs to understand that admins (or any staff for that matter) have a lot of things to take care on the server at once. What this means is, the community needs to step up and note down every situation where a player has broken the rules so the staff can take over and act accordingly. Not everything is being brought up on a silver platter yet things get handled quickly, but people like to complain as soon as they spot some kind of a flaw instead of bringing it up to the right staff member. Admins aren't here to police the server all the time, they're also players who are vouching to help out, if the community doesn't make their job easier then it's everyone's fault for getting to the state we're in right now.

It was a statement. I agreed with it. Do better and for whoever is asking, I wasn't even warned. Straight removal.

This perfectly highlights the core issue with the current management: silencing dissent rather than addressing the real problems. Removing staff for simply reacting to a statement, regardless of its tone, only proves how unwilling they are to engage with criticism. I didn’t realise LSRP was so focused on being WOKE instead of actually fixing what’s broken.

[R.Hout]

So I've gotta side with Staff on this matter. Now, I don't give two shits about your comment. Do I think it's something a staff member should have said? Probably not but I don't think you had ill intentions.

 

Here's my issue, if you wanted to voice your opinion why'd you go around to a different forum account to post it publicly. It's almost like you knew something would have happened if you did it on your other account. Why try to hide behind a different account?

He didn’t post the comment; he simply reacted to it. There’s a big difference between publicly voicing an opinion and quietly agreeing with someone else’s statement. Removing someone from staff over a reaction, without even issuing a warning, is completely over the top. If management feels the need to police reactions this harshly, it says more about their insecurity than anything else.

Why on earth would you bring up North Korea? Completely unrelated and blatant derailment. Banned!

Wouldn’t surprise me if they called this “derailing” to avoid addressing the obvious.

I apologize and retract my statement. When I read it and saw the screenshot I was under the impression both parties were the same person. This totally changes things then in my eyes.

 

I don't think that should have warranted any sort of punishment at all. I understand they want to hold a level of "standards" within a staff team, which I get. But removing somebody for liking a post in a topic makes no sense regardless of what the post revolved around. This has me curious because I'd like to know Dos Santos felt the need to remove you and how they came to that conclusion? 

 

[JesterJr]

You seem to misunderstand stating your opinion publicly and being a human being.

 

Chill boys. I'm pretty sure you can properly set up a discussion instead of talking about 40 y/o homosexuals and just recycling how you disagree with management, and expect a change within 5 minutes from your massive post of saying how bad staff is.

 

Look at yourself in the mirror sometime.

[Flimerus]

26 Pages this thread has, that's 26 pages of suggestions, criticism and highlighted problems.

What more can the community do to help? There's been so much out cry and yet, there seemingly from the perspective of the players has been zero action, apart from a shrinking development team and a dwindling playerbase. 

The illegal roleplay scene has none but a handful of players who are motivated to even get in game, the rest have given up hope or turned to deathmatching. 

The server doesn't even have a roleplay standard anymore, when it was once upon a time the standard. 

It's become physically impossible for any member of a gang related unit to do anything productive, detectives can't even roleplay, police can only get involved in 2 hour pursuits that eventually end up in deathmatching. What is supposed to be a roleplay server feels more like a deathmatching mess which punishes those who roleplay accordingly instead of rewaring. 

The whole ecosystem of gameplay has fell apart, and these 26 pages of criticisms and outcries are a result of complete failure to look after the good players of the server.

No worries, it happens. 🤝 At least you can admit your mistakes, which is more than can be said for some.

Ah, the classic “look in the mirror” deflection. Instead of addressing legitimate points, you resort to condescension and irrelevant jabs. Nobody’s expecting miracles in five minutes, but it’s not unreasonable to expect accountability and basic fairness from staff. Maybe take your own advice and reflect on how dismissive and unprofessional this kind of response makes you look. It’s no wonder people are frustrated.
 

[JesterJr]

You expect professionalism and quick reactions from the staff, but you're stuck saying the same things over and over again.

If you don't want to be replied the way you talk, don't post then.

 

In other words, don't talk the talk if you can't walk the walk.

 

You post hate, get warned and you just talk about censorship.

 

Sometimes, you really should watch in the mirror.

Staff is already doing it's part, as I said, things don't happen in 5 minute span from your hate post.
