Or perhaps they're more creative with their thinking instead of looking at everything black and white hoping to have "roleplay" handed to them on a silver platter. Prison improvements are coming, but the experience will only improve if players are willing to (hear me out, I know it's crazy...) roleplay!

Hey, So to conclude this, we have implemented a system that ensures players are aware of why they are muted. No longer will you be left asking questions of why you may be muted and having to message multiple staff to get an answer. Also, timeouts are appealable but we ask that you only appeal timeouts of 1 day or longer unless you feel the issuing staff member did so maliciously or incorrectly in which case you can either appeal or message myself or another member of Admin Management to review it fully. Staff members will be required to give proper reasoning for timeouts also and follow guidelines that are in place. Thank you for the suggestion!

Welcome!

Firstly, appreciate the feedback and response. I can't say I have noticed it personally. I was under the impression it was actually less than it used to be. If you have any examples of misuse of this tactic then please forward some context and evidence and I'll review it. But like @AnnoyingOne said, if they are getting you out for a search etc, then it is done with probable cause so I'd assume there is more context, and if not it would potentially be misconduct that should be reported. I have no say over SD and their operation/tactics. But I do appreciate the positive feedback about PD. We also enjoy the chases and we see no value to anyone by ending them prematurely. The ironic thing is, very few people in PD actually enjoy the arrest procedure, so it benefits everyone to be more open to leniency and less escalating. If you have any evidence, or further context, please report this as it is not something we stand for and if this is happening it should be addressed. The casefiles exist for MNC and they are actively updated. The majority of members in GND are not in MNC and do not have criminal alts.

Ash, my man...if you fail to recognise change due to your blind sighted vision of what you feel should be happening, I don't know what to tell you. We have adapted a lot to the community we find ourselves in in 2025. You are a 'veteran' of the community, so I ask that you cast your memory back to 2021 and how intense gang suppression was from both PD and SD - that's almost unheard of these days even if you are one of the most violent gangs on the server. The LSPD faction has self regulated so much, that in many situations now we are seen simply as NPCs there to enhance your roleplay without any consideration for the players in the LSPD faction and their enjoyment. We are tirelessly working to adapt and match the current environment - are you? You can preach all the scary headlines all you want - "Cops have access to a banshee!" "Cops have 150AP!" "Cops have MK2 weapons!" but then you fail to understand the regulations and limitations of use. The banshee can only be used against a list of 12 vehicles - all of which out perform the Banshee PD has as PD are limited on the modifications. And deployment of the Banshee is not allowed to be precautionary and can only be deployed after a situation has escalated to the point needed it. If a crim Niobe (for example) is pulled over and is suspected to evade soon, the Banshee can't even be driven out of the garage until the pursuit starts, at which point that cop likely won't catch up if the evading party is smart with their actions. 150AP is only available to less than 20% of the total roster (of 114 people), and of that 20%, it can only be used for specific circumstances and not general patrol. Cops do have many different weapons, but again heavily regulated by rank and situation. You don't become a cadet and get handed an MG, you have to work hard, prove ability to follow regulations for (on average) 2-3 months, until you get your hands on any "heavy" weapons at all which at that point is the pump shotgun which again is heavily regulated situationally. The LSPD faction does all this while trying to stay as true to lore as possible, can the same be said for the other side? Or maybe some self-reflection is necessary to consider why your interactions with PD appear negative, and if they are, is it due to them responding proportionally to your own actions, or was it actually something malicious - in which case you should report it to faction leadership, or via IA, something I note you have not done. The only comment of note I have picked up in the responses since your initial flame post was regarding the heli and deployment to certain situations and where restrictions could be placed in circumstances where a heli reasonably does not (yet) make sense to be overhead. We will happily take this away to review and consider, but please remember that the LSPD faction is reactive to your action - if a heli is overhead, 9 times out of 10 it's because it's genuinely needed to be there and is reasonable for it to be so.

This has been fixed in a recent patch.

Just ignore them and move on with your day.

Anyone, even OOC terminations, are free to apply for reinstatement. Sometimes you would have to use a different character (due to criminal charges etc) but each circumstance gets discussed case by case. Being OOCly terminated for any reason is never a blacklist from the faction, unless you are explicitly told they. But those instances are extremely rare (RWT, transfers, equipment advise etc) and I have only ever seen them imposed with a server ban also
