Revamp Legal Faction Management

[Flimerus]

There's been a few situations recently which questions the activity, decision making and overall status quo of legal faction managment and their decision making in general. 

Currently there has been unactioned situations and poor handling of situations; we need to bring in members with real life LEO experience to help bring things to a better place. 

I made a similar thread in the Public IFT section; discussing a methodolgy to ensure that there is the most appropriate people in place for the management teams.

It posed of implementing a voting system which the playerbase decides who gets what position; and each candidate has to submit their profile, motivations, and experience behind why they should be elected for the position. This is to prevent giving out jobs for the boys.

I'm not going to rebuild the wheel so you can just use your imagination and pretend this is in a legal faction context.

Voting System

How this will work, leaders of the new IFT will need to be voted in a poll with an application/profile that has their claim to IFT leadership.

In doing this, you are forcing the IFT leadership to make changes the players are in need of and removes anyone who just wants to AFK the job role, or is not even motivated to chase the work needed.

This also exposes the wider playerbase to the people who are running IFT, and an understanding of why people should entrust them with the management of the illegal factions. 

IFTL should comprise of people who have extensive experience LEADING and CREATING SUCCESSFUL ILLEGAL FACTIONS. 

Currently it's all comprised of jobs for the boys who are just flexing rank. 

I beg to see what the current IFT have actually done for the illegal scene outside of take credit from players suggestions.

There needs to be a revamp of leadership who understand illegal roleplay and have been participating for years as leaders, it's clear the lack of experience is serving as a detriment to the current playerbase.

 

 

Theres more to be said; I'd like to hear what the community has to say though.

Have you done any faction report that has gone unhandled or what is the complaint exactly about?

that’s a good question, no I haven’t. But it’s not the point. It shouldn’t be dependant on a report being filed, that’s a piss poor excuse and if anyone’s using that to excuse themselves then they should resign immediately. 
 

I haven’t explained what this is about very well; it’s about creating a team that can effectively manage the legal factions. Anyone involved in the legal scene can see there is a lack of management. Especially looking at recent events and things that have been allows to slide, the current state of management needs serious scrutiny. 
 

My ideology for faction management is to look at them as product advisors basically. 

 

Illegal faction management should be creating a backlog of prioritised work for the development team to implement relating to illegal roleplay, in addition to schemes and general illegal economy.

this feeds into the development teams backlog of features, which ultimately make the software (LSRP) more enjoyable for the playerbase is what I'm getting at. 
 

nonetheless, I’m proposing a new way for the player base, and community to have their voices heard in terms of making changes for the greater good of the server. And it must start by shaking the management and investigating what needs to be changed and who should be managing what, and in my opinion based on experience motivation and credentials to handle certain management positions. 
 

I also want to hear the communities thoughts on this.

I don't agree with a voting system. Those voting systems only encourage to get the most popular person, not the most capable

completely incorrect, especially if the player base votes on a profile, comprised of reason, motivations and experience. And if this was a worry you could just anonymise each profile such that players wouldn’t know who they’re voting on just the proposed profile.

I'm honestly unsure on what the discussion is for. You want LFM to be ran like IFC when the two are completely different and don't work the same? 

LFM doesn't deal with faction reports the same way IFC does because faction reports on Legal Factions aren't on the whole faction and typically is a report on the rank 1 of the faction for breaking server/LFM rules. For development, that'd be down to the respective faction leaders of each individual faction to request it through the faction leader area and then have it approved if it's possible by a dev/(Assistant) Head of Operations and isn't seen as overpowered etc.

 

We appreciate the discussion but changing how it works just isn't in our future right now.
