Will LS-RP survive?

Oh boy there's a whole lot of lore you missing on, but LSRP always had its issues with management, from pedophile server owners to just inactive ones.
 

Ragemp release was cooked, script wasn't ready and it just failed to keep people engaged and motivated to hop on. It also released after many many delays so people just didn't stick around for it. Which, judging by the sea of SAMP Release broken promises in regards to script updates, they were right to.

 

 

Might aswell take accountability now and make it right for the community who always stood loyal to the server or pack it the fuck up and shut this shit show down, seriously.

You can dress it up with community updates and fancy headers all you want, but anyone who’s actually played here in the last year knows LS-RP isn’t alive anymore, it’s just on life support, and the staff should make it right and do a mass unban to make it survive or enjoy the official death of LS:RP.

Ads are keeping the server online, a couple of people log in out of habit, and staff act like that counts as success. Peaks at 15 players, 3 is staff, 7 are AFK, rest is in their house furnishing, or something stupid. That’s not living. That’s just refusing to pull the plug, live or let die. 

And if you dare to actually speak up about it? Enjoy your mute, your deleted post, or your ban. The “truth tellers”, the people pointing out what everyone can see, get labeled as toxic, troublemakers, or haters and quietly removed instead of listened to. Threads get locked, criticism gets censored, and any attempt at honest discussion is shut down under the excuse of “keeping things civil.” It’s not moderation, it’s control. Watch this post get removed.
 

The worst part is the attitude. Half the staff sit on a high horse like any criticism is a personal attack and any frustration is out of line. Instead of listening to people who stuck around through every restart, every empty phase, every broken promise, they double down and act like the community is the problem. The same community that gave LS-RP its golden years is now treated like a nuisance that needs to be silenced rather than heard.
 

People are literally begging them: take accountability, fix this, or shut it down instead of dragging the corpse around. And what happens? Silence, deflection, bans, and more of the same heavy-handed moderation. All the loyalty, all the years, and this is what it comes to a “community” where the only thing that really thrives is censorship and ego.

LS-RP didn’t just randomly fall off. It was pushed. Pushed by staff who would rather be right than be fair, who would rather silence criticism than admit they helped kill the thing they were supposed to protect. Right now, the server is technically surviving, but that’s not a victory. Either own up, actually listen, and start treating players like human beings again, or just be honest and admit it’s over. Dragging this out and pretending it’s fine while banning anyone who says otherwise is the biggest insult of all.

 

Meanwhile, the way admins handle bans is a joke. People get hit with bans for trolling or minor shit and then get left out in the cold for months or YEARS. Waiting weeks or months for a reply. Just look at badhbhs ban appeal, people been sitting there waiting for a reply since October. Like seriously? This is a 20 year old game with a server that peaks at like 10 players and they’re still swinging the hammer like it’s some elite, overflowing community that can afford to bleed people. Rulebreak is rulebreak, sure, but the punishment doesn’t fit the reality. You don’t “save” a dying server by locking more and more people out of it. It's like Batman and Robin, we need the trolls aswell.

LS-RP isn’t alive just because the lights are technically still on. A living server has stories, drama, roleplay, events, reasons to log in. This? This is a login screen, a couple of names, and a staff team clinging to control while everything around them is empty. I have insider members working in staff and a lot of them has had enough too but scared to speak up, it's as ruined for them as it is for us, how fun is it to play with 5 players online and ruled with an iron fist? The staff who don't agree are the ones we need to get rid of.

Not to mention the literal server owned Krisk who got exposed for being a pedo, which the staff bow down to him and his companion the porn addict Mmartin, they scammed us. What the staff team can do now is do a mass unban seriously, and let it thrive again. If they break rules again? Get them, but seriously restructure this fucking poop fest. And yeah, fucking ban me and censor me like you always do. The server has had enough now, and you see it.

they did it to themselves and i love it. incompetent admins, replicating gtaw rules, playing favorites, providing 0 support to gangs/factions, unjust treatment of staff-less factions and the list goes on.  you can cling onto your "positions of power" only to benefit yourself and your faction w 10 people on the server now

@izumi already did his part in this and I have a faction full of people who left because of his verdicts on half-assed ban appeals. The notion of a mass unban is ridiculous because you can throw together a sob story that's shorter than this message, and use that to nullify a hacking & DM mentality ban (given enough time has passed). 

 

A mass unban scenario just opens the floodgates for those worst of the worst, whom can't even put in the effort to ban evade or appeal. It's hardly the answer, and I'd wager that it has led to even further enshittification.

Close the doors and that's it. Management failed and should have left the keys on the table. Without mentioning all the abuses here and the free gifts that were given to whoever was close to the plate, there were players here who invested and helped this server a lot, and in the end, they were left naked with a ban.

Half year for someone trolling? Add another six months for someone ban evading? Is that realistic to you? And badhbh and other admins dont reply for MONTHS on their appeal, just check their appeals now, poor guy been waiting since October for even a reply. Is it even weird if people start evading then?

Mass unban is the only play left that actually saves LS-RP from the dirt nap it's heading for. Look at this thread—more activity, more back-and-forth, more actual fun happening right here than on the goddamn server itself. People are literally having a better time shit-talking the corpse than logging into 10-player emptiness, and I can't blame 'em one bit. Streets are dead, but this forum's popping off with real energy. That's your wake-up call.

Yeah some clowns might troll again. /ban takes 2 secs, admins are everywhere. Risk? Zero. Reward? Everything. Beats wasting cash on devs nobody logs in for. Do it or die slower.
 

Server's a total diarrhea show on top of it. Sign-up page still lists mmartin as "head developer" like nothing's changed, and you can't even register with a Gmail because the site's that broken.

They closed down the old forums for this crap too, like I swear, LSRP staff its like a competition who can make the worst decision for the server at this point. Lmfao. Watch them remove the thread too.

I looked at those appeals and it's unfortunate, though in his October one he couldn't do as little as follow a format and say 'sorry'. In his november one he was caught ban evading. I'm not sure what you expect badhbh to say as a verdict there. 

 

Alas, the staff team here has been the worst I've ever seen since LSRP's relaunch. Terrible management isn't a new thing at all, it's just every time that a faction quits or the server goes into a seasonal stalemate, people start to suddenly have a problem about it. 

I.E. Barons MC loved to reap the boons of trksthtmn being their pocket admin - closing down rival factions at whim given they were fresh enough, this same band of people was later whining in my DMs about how unjust LSRP's management is. I hope this particular example paints a picture of how hypocritical this community is. 

 

You're overreacting, and jumping on a bandwagon in dire strait to look like you have an opinion. I'm not even gonna address your other ChatGPT-generated response.
