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.

Jack has mentioned that if you've got mapping ready to be added to shoot him a message. Without making an excuse, mapping requests can go unnoticed/aren't followed up on till weeks later etc or any other circumstance like it being buggy etc, but if you have any mapping or anyone else for the matter of fact, message Jack with it.

I'm sorry but my track record for legal factions? The Fire Department has had their recruitment open for over a month now and has had very little interest. We've had a total of 7 applicants since October. If you've been around LS-RP for long enough, you should know that the FD is a niché faction which not a lot of people are interested in. Faction Leadership has tried every single method over the years to improve activity & if people aren't wanting to log in-game, what do you want us to do about FD exactly? Hell, I've offered my own money in terms of a gift-card for the most active faction member this month as a Christmas giveaway. I've also been FD leadership for a few years now and I've been in FD through probably 5-6 leadership changes from 2017/8 from when Nick Apps was leadership to Codsworth, Reset and Genny. Nothing ever helped activity. Ever since all legal factions went from non-realistic to realistic, faction numbers for FD has dropped drastically. Ever since 2018 it was dropping. A hacking sheriff? Do you think we knew he was hacking at the time of his appointment? We don't check people's games so the point is awfully silly, not only that, Orbit had promoted Iudex to sheriff so to blame that on me is not being factual as you said so I won't be taking claim for that. An inactive sheriff who didn't have internet access till his appointment and his activity is being monitored as said to someone else, which I believe you could of possibly been informed of, if not then now you know.

To address the main complaints of HOLF (which people are calling LFM), these complaints are because of the current choice of the current Sheriff, previous Sheriff and because I didn't let SD have free reign with Sultans etc. To address Azuko's complaint seeing as it was the first one I saw, the conflict of interest rule he suggested, I spoke to Michael/Jack at the time and they OK'ed the suggetion being closed due to the fact it's a staff suggestion, not a player one and should be suggested in the staff area over the player area. Whilst it does affect players, it's also down to the admin team not fully understanding the rule. He said I was friendly with Iudex and co and the pastebin he posted and quoted question he was asked, he doesn't realise it wasn't myself who asked this question and it was Michael who had made the group PM between people involved in a faction complaint and us (Michael and I) to get a bigger picture and the outcome of the faction report was decided by Michael and I so there wasn't just one single person involved in the outcome. As for him saying I was forced to ban Iudex, again, he's mistaken. It was Jack who had banned Iudex due to the clip circling around so there's no protecting anyone. Other's currently not happy with HOLF are due to the fact when Iudex was banned, a replacement was picked which wasn't them and the ideas they had weren't heard because the choice had been made already, again, not just one person decided and it was mentioned to the other leads and also Michael and I agreed on the replacement. People weren't happy and said he was inactive etc and weren't even going to give him a chance to prove he's worth being Sheriff and wanted him removed and them placed in the spot, basically. Before Iudex was Sheriff, there were almost no complaints, Orbit had decided Iudex was to replace Brasi because Brasi had a lot of IRL things happening and since then, anyone who had taken the mantle of HOLF before it was absolved by (A)HoOps would of gotten the same amount of hate. Someone in SD said it great to me in DMs "People will always find something to complain about regardless of who you picked". For the post by Flim, Martin and badhbh was informed of the decision to close the thread so it's not like it was only my decision. Both of them would of had a perfect opportunity to say something should they felt like it was something worth discussing. Flim, you said that you sent me a PM, yes. You also asked if I could join TS and you were told I'm on LOA with a sickness and then proceeded to say "OK since you can't join TS for whatever reason" even though you honestly knew the reason why I wanted a PM instead and why you didn't get a response as I believe I told you in the IFT discord, I was on LOA at the time of reading. You also asked a bunch of questions such as "Are these factions running optimally? Are they supported by the current LFM; have they made steps to improving the game surrounding them?" - All Legal Factions are running optimally, regardless of what you think. They get all the support they need should they ask for it and aren't held back from doing things they want within reason so long as it's not something that'll damage their reptutation/server standards etc. If a legal faction needs anything to improve them, they can request for it. If they believe they need script additions, they can request it, mapping additions/changes? They can request. If they don't request it, we won't be going around just adding things willy nilly based on our opinions of what they need. Overall, it's honestly so tiring to see people constantly complaining over something such as SD choices when it's not just been a single person decision ever since Orbit left the staff team. People do have geninue concern but it's minor concerns and they believe it's something which has contributed to the decline of the playerbase when it's the community as a whole. Martin, Michael and Cake said it perfectly, no matter what happens in this community that staff do, nothing will be good enough and for people who come on this game in their spare time to try to have fun, the amount of abuse etc people get is highly demotivating for anyone if they aren't getting paid to take the abuse. The only way to possibly bring back the old players is by changing yourself first and stop being toxic, finding anything to complain about and stop being entitled, thinking you deserve something because you asked for it. When LS-RP was made, I doubt people were so entilted back then and it flourished then and every single year, people got more entilted because "I'm known on the server" or "I'm friends with XYZ". Find a group to play with, enjoy your time on the server because you make the community.

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.

Congrats and great read.

Congrats!

After reading through this, unfortunately bringing HSIU back is something we, Legal Faction Management, aren't interested in doing. Whilst it may of been fun in the early years of LS-RP around 2014-15, we've moved past the time when people in LEO factions would drive around in Bullets etc to chase others and we're striving to a more realistic approach. I appreciate you being so passionate about the topic though but as I said, it's not something we're going to allow again.

I’ll chase it up for you.

Great update!

Good read, congrats too.

Good update

(( Resumed, continue as needed. ))

(( Update on this; The case of Michelle Jefferson V Los Santos Police Department and Sheriff's Department will not be paused. Characters do not need to exist at the time of the court case being made on the forums and are only ever needed should the court case be taken in-game. There will be no rule changing and both court cases will resume as normal. Slight edit to this; the only person(s) who needs to have an in-game character is the Plaintiff and Defendant. If you don't have an in-game character as either, you will not be able to take someone to court. ))

L&A.

Damn

If you've any OOC issues with your experiences with any faction members, feel free to report them to their respective leadership and if they've broke a server rule, post a forum report instead of posting it here.
