You sat there and proceeded to try and argue with a person from LA, born and raised in LA, hell his whole life he's been in LA about how the mapping actually looks like something from LA IRL.
You sat there and called him emotional, that he's raging.
I said it looks dogshit cause that's how I felt it looked like, I'm not sugarcoating anything and never will, too bad if you think my opinion is harsh.
I could not care about 14.0 and what it brings, good for Cake and the illegal roleplay community, I'm over here bringing up the fact that some staff members do not take kindly to criticism and would rather respond in a hostile matter instead of actually tackling the issue of why certain people do not like it.

This right here is exactly what’s wrong with the staff. Instead of taking criticism on board and actually trying to improve, some staff members double down and get defensive, acting like any negative feedback is a personal attack. The fact that someone who’s lived in LA their whole life gets dismissed and called “emotional” for pointing out that the mapping doesn’t match what it’s supposed to represent is ridiculous. Not everyone is going to sugarcoat their opinions, and they shouldn’t have to. When multiple people, including those giving detailed and constructive feedback, are raising the same concerns, maybe the problem isn’t the community, it’s the way staff handle criticism. Responding with hostility and shutting down valid points doesn’t fix the issue; it just makes it clear that certain staff are more interested in defending their egos than actually addressing the community’s concerns. This defensive, dismissive attitude is why trust between staff and players keeps eroding. If staff can’t take feedback without turning it into an argument, they’re the ones who need to step back and rethink how they engage with the community. The problem isn’t the criticism, it’s how it’s handled.

Couldn't have said it better myself. But i believe that @jack is forming better communications now from what he has told us between staff and other teams. So let's hope that we are on a better pathway now and that the staff team take our words into consideration more.

Those who can't self-reflect or accept constructive criticism are the ones dividing the community. Y'all say ''but.. we used our imagination over a decade ago why wouldn't it work now with scripts?'' It's not that people are entitled. It's just simply boredom of the same layout that we have had for years now that is going ancient by now along with us.

I'll just put down my two cents when it comes to talking about staff members not replying to you the way you feel is just, remember that as you are grown man(mostly likely), there's also a grown man on the other side of the screen reading your comment.

 

Maybe if your comment isn't hostile and given properly, you can get a proper answer back without making your discussion partner feel threatened.

 

If your comment is "fix this cause it looks like shit", you will get a shitty reply back, and that's common sense IRL.

If you are an adult as you state, I don't know how you expect someone to be so professional and well mannered for something they are not getting paid for. Hell, sometimes even when you're at work and someone talks to you shitty, you might reply back aggressively. Imagine for a gaming community.

 

Each day isn't the same, someone might have a hard day at work and come back to do your mapping or scripting so they chill and get away from things.

Imagine if that person comes on the forums after their work is shown to the community and the feedback is like the ones I read before, to a mapping that it reads with RED LETTERS on top that "It isn't final work".

 

You really need to take a chill and think that someone, whoever that was, who took time from their day to make it - probably isn't in the mood to read your negative feedback in the way you state it, which is 80% of the times impolite and very harsh.

 

I don't say that for something specific said over here right now, but I saw again the "some staff take things defensively".

 

There's two sides of the coin, you just gotta put your ego away. And I hold Staff accountable for that too (including myself).

day 15 still no UCP fix

[JesterJr]

I have cleaned up some of the senseless comments.

I really feel saddened that I see people from official factions are participating in these talks.

This comes in addition to what Eren stated about warnings.

 

FYI: Comments like these get threads like this one derailed & locked most of the times. Not staff that wants to censor you.

Odd why are players being banned for invalid reasons? This to me reads that the staff are hiding something.

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.

 

 

For the person who got banned for "Advertising". That is simply because it issues the most amount of warnings one can get instead of having to manually input. But also this what Jack said, that is the reason it was deleted.

Can we bring back quality illegal factions instead of DM squads who somehow only have M4s and AK47s. I've been shot at with a handgun only once in the past month. All the other times it was M4s and/or AK47s. Also honorable mention to a shotgun, again a singular time. Where are they getting all these weapons from? It's insane how LSRP is supposed to be heavy rp yet every other street gang is running deep like cartels in Mexico.

That's a problem of how the server at some point became very sensitive on how they treat illegal factions & groups on the perspective of policing the server.

 

When rules started coming out of "playing fair" and "giving the other side a chance", police RPers who used to RP in the Detective division, lost their motivation & their will to play.

 

Why? Because everytime they managed to get themselves a nice case, with solid proof evidence of reckless gangs / LCNs / MCs, they'd be faced with the "OH GIVE THEM A CHANCE TO PLAY, NO NEED TO WIN EVERY SITUATION".

That kicked a chain reaction.

 

The chain reaction is that you have illegal factions literally sitting around with AKs & M4s, doing hits that make no sense - because they know there's no Detective to hunt them down and put them in prison / get them shut down, so basically there's no risk.

LS-RP put things on auto pilot, trusting entirely that the illegal factions will act sensible and respect common sense.

Why? Because the IFM back then was a circle jerk of illegal RPers who just wanted to protect their factions, fuel the server with countless weapons and protect their RP bubble. I believe this is not the case now in LS-RP, thus why I keep having faith in it.

 

This is proven to be wrong.

Illegal Factions are super reckless, they kill cops broad daylight, they perform bad deals & proceed with literally dealing large amounts of guns & drugs in Idlewood Pizza Stacks, leading to a more "cops and robbers" server, than a heavy RP server which criminals face the consequences of what they do wrong.

 

Cops became incompetent and they are right now just a punching bag for criminals who roam around with M4s & AKs in cars 4-deep.

 

How to fix the chain reaction?

Give Detective Units the power to shut down factions again, using proper evidence & procedure.

 

That will push illegal factions to deal smaller arms, carefully and precisely doing risky things out of the blue just to do it.

That will push illegal factions to not sell to random trolls or casual DMers who most likely got cops on their asses, because if they're caught selling to them - they will be targeted by the respective Gangs or Organized Crime division, kickstarting a case which might lead to the closure of their faction.

Have LSPD's Gangs unit doing Task Forces down on Idlewood / Jefferson / Ganton areas, suppressing the low-budget criminals who deal guns for 100k, which makes no sense at all.

Meanwhile, create a team within LSRP's Staff, which should regulate roleplay quality, and monitor these interactions.

 

Make cop RP competitive again.

It's too late. Too many good factions have closed for well known reasons. Almost all the good factions are closed, while RPG factions are roaming around.

 

Everything has its limits.
