Damn they slimed the homie 😔

It does not matter whether you have 5 or 7 developers; timing is everything, and LSRP:V has already missed the boat. GTA W has established a dedicated player base, including many former LSRP players. https://community.ls-rp.com/forums/topic/22469-rage-or-samp/ You cannot rebuild trust or a player base by doubling down on a platform the majority does not want.

LSRP:V won’t survive a year. GTA W already dominates GTA V RP, and this desperate attempt to compete is embarrassing. Stick to SAMP, the only thing keeping this community afloat, because even that’s on shaky ground with the way things are being handled.

“Constructive”? Dismissing concerns as “saying the same things over and over” isn’t constructive, it’s dismissive. Disagreeing is fine, but if you can’t engage respectfully or address criticism without deflecting, don’t expect anyone to take you seriously. If your intention wasn’t to be toxic, then I appreciate you recognising the need to improve.

This desperate attempt to twist my words is laughable. Showing concern for the state of the server isn’t toxic, nor is holding admins accountable for their actions. Responding to a toxic admin like yourself with the same energy you give isn’t toxicity, it’s calling out poor behaviour. Yet that’s exactly what you’re doing. Hiding behind “just how life works” while actively dismissing community concerns and dodging responsibility is the real victim card here. Bullying? Get over yourself. The community is voicing legitimate criticism, and instead of addressing it constructively, you’re the one trying to bully people into silence with your condescending tone. The only thing “not fun anymore” is dealing with admins like you who can’t handle accountability. Let’s get something straight. Toxicity isn’t pointing out flaws in the system, it’s deflecting, patronising, and refusing to take any accountability, which you’re doing right now. If your goal is to “prove” something, maybe start with proving that you’re capable of engaging in meaningful discussion without turning it into a pity party.

The only thing repetitive here is your toxic attitude, which reflects the same dismissive behaviour that has become all too common among subpar admins. If people are saying the same things repeatedly, maybe it’s because nothing has been done to address their concerns. Reacting to a joke isn’t hate. He was removed without warning for agreeing with something that happens to be true. Don’t pretend you’re standing on some moral high ground. It’s this kind of defensive and arrogant attitude from admins that frustrates the community and fuels their distrust. Looking in the mirror won’t fix the fact that staff like you are pushing this server further into decline. The community isn’t asking for miracles in five minutes, they’re asking for accountability, progress, and respect. Dismissing criticism as hate is just another excuse to avoid taking responsibility.

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.

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

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.

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.

GTA V is a fruitless endeavour at this point. It’s too late to try and compete in that space. The focus should be on keeping SAMP alive, especially with OpenMP providing a pathway for further development. Prioritise what has always worked and build on it, rather than wasting resources on a platform that no longer aligns with the community’s needs.

I don’t see why they’re still bothering with GTA 5. LSRP had its chance, but it’s clear it will never surpass GTA W at this point. The focus should be on keeping LSRP strong on SAMP and actually delivering the improvements the community has been asking for. If not, SOLS will end up taking everyone who’s grown tired of waiting. Even if SOLS is limited to SP factions only, people will compromise just to avoid the endless delays here.

His statement is a blunt but honest critique of the ongoing poor communication, repeated mistakes, and lack of direction that have plagued the server and continue to alienate the community. Listing names doesn’t absolve the fact that the system is failing. You can have the most hardworking individuals on a team, but if the management structure is disorganised, lacks clear priorities, and repeatedly fails to deliver on time, it’s still bad management. Admitting that LSRP has a problem delivering solutions quickly only confirms the critique, good intentions mean nothing if the results consistently come too late to matter.

It’s no secret that the illegal roleplay community has been sidelined when it comes to server mapping. Despite years of requests for meaningful updates in areas like Jefferson and other key hotspots for illegal factions, we’re met with silence or half baked excuses about “themes” and “LS realism.” Meanwhile, numerous police stations and irrelevant mapping updates keep appearing in areas that offer little to no value for active roleplayers. After all this time, it’s baffling that there’s still no real effort to prioritise mapping where it’s most needed, within the illegal roleplay community. Let’s be real: the current mapping process is frustrating at best and broken at worst. Members of the illegal community, who are actively driving RP on the server, have consistently reached out, proposed ideas, and even contributed mapping themselves, only to see their work ignored or dismissed without valid reasoning. As one person pointed out, ideas for Jefferson mapping have been floating around since 2019, with little to no progress. Yet somehow, DayZ style mapping and random precincts continue to get implemented, leaving illegal roleplayers wondering if their input even matters. Mapping that could revitalise faction RP, bring life to heavily used areas, and motivate players is repeatedly overlooked. Instead, factions like 38ST and EHC are left to fend for themselves, forced to watch new mapping appear in places where no meaningful roleplay takes place. How does this serve the community? How does this motivate players to stay engaged and continue investing in the server? So here’s the question: why is mapping being prioritised for areas with no active roleplay while active factions are ignored? Where is the collaboration with illegal factions that are actively shaping the server’s RP? And when will the priorities finally shift to reflect what the server actually needs? This isn’t just about one bad mapping release or one team’s failure. It’s about a larger pattern of consistently ignoring the illegal roleplay community while focusing on irrelevant updates that benefit no one. If mapping is supposed to improve the server, then it needs to serve the people who are actually driving its activity. Step up, stop making excuses, and start listening to the players who are trying to keep this server alive.

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.

This honestly looks terrible. It falls far below the standards expected. Whoever thought this was a good concept needs to seriously raise their game. Just listen to your community. It’s not that hard. https://community.ls-rp.com/forums/topic/22099-prioritise-housing-development-in-gang-territories-over-pd-stations-samp/

Your argument assumes IFM in its current form is the only viable structure, which is the core issue. If requests take too long to process, it’s because IFM’s bloated bureaucracy is slowing everything down. Consolidating IFM into smaller, more efficient teams or even delegating tasks to faction representatives with admin oversight could streamline this process without sacrificing effectiveness. No one is suggesting blindly agreeing with everything they say. The point is to prioritise active communication and collaboration, something IFM consistently fails to deliver. Disagreements among factions don’t negate the need for leadership to actually listen and find compromises; it highlights the need for leadership that can mediate effectively instead of dragging its feet. Saying “we need people with experience” is meaningless if those people don’t deliver results. The system itself is inefficient because it centralises too much power in a team that fails to address the needs of the illegal community in a timely or effective manner. Expanding the division won’t solve the problem if the structure remains broken.

👏

LSRP’s decline in activity isn’t some grand mystery. It is the inevitable result of poor management, ignoring player concerns, and flat-out mishandling the gang community, which has always been the heart of the server. Let’s be honest, the gang community has been treated like an afterthought. IFM and staff have dragged their feet on critical changes, leaning on flimsy excuses like “holidays” to explain months of inaction. Meanwhile, illegal roleplayers have waited endlessly for mapping, updates, and systems that never seem to arrive, while PD and SD get everything handed to them on a silver platter. The disrespect is real, and it is driving people away. IFT serves no real purpose other than to slow down progress with unnecessary bureaucracy. Instead of empowering active illegal factions, it has become an obstacle. Replacing it with a council of active, experienced illegal roleplayers who understand the needs of the community could make a real difference. This council would advocate for the factions that keep the server alive and ensure their concerns are addressed without endless delays. The server must also focus on faction activity, rewarding those who are contributing while replacing dormant groups with newer, eager ones. Monthly reviews of faction status would prevent stagnation and keep the IRP scene going. Marketing is another major issue that has been overlooked for far too long. LSRP needs to adopt a modern approach to reach new players. Campaigns on platforms like TikTok, YouTube, and collaborations with content creators would attract fresh faces. New players stepping into a server where others have over a decade of experience ahead of them need proper incentives to feel like they belong. Players are not asking for the impossible. They are asking for leadership to show respect and support for the community that keeps the server running. The gang community cannot thrive under a system that ignores it. If management is not willing to adapt and address these concerns, it is time for new leadership to step in and make the changes the server desperately needs. The problem is not the age of SAMP; it is the refusal to evolve with the times and value the players who make this community what it is.

That third clip 🤣😂😂

See you around, officers
