I fully agree with Dizzy here. Racial slurs and derogatory slurs do not need to be used here at all, you don't need to use hateful language to convey a message in character. Anyone believing that a character needs to speak this way needs to learn how to roleplay. The fact that I keep seeing people say "freedom of speech" on here is the dumbest shit I've seen on here in a long time and I'd say I'm amazed but sadly I'm not. I wasn't aware freedom of speech was to degrade people using derogatory terms, but I guess some of you think that's actually a right? I myself am not a fan of OOC restrictions on RP, but this is something I don't see as a restriction, I don't speak this way in real life, ever. Why the hell do characters do? 18+ game or not, somethings simply have no place anywhere, ever. As Waryerz said, "If you can't enjoy roleplay without the use of slurs, it's no longer in-character." Also, 99% of other servers have rules directly against this.

This is resolved.

Issue Being Reported: I got unbanned after a year and I want to unbind my account, when I try to link my account again, it says "this account is already linked to a discord account". My discord account is still the exact same, Catman#3002 Date and Time of Issue (provide timezone): N/A Your characters name: Vyse Legend Other player(s) involved: N/A Evidence and/or notes worth mentioning: Evidence or notes here

It's truly sad to see that this faction is closing, but I am happy I met the people and was apart of it. Always had loads of fun while I was in the faction, and will miss it. Zeta's will forever be remembered as a part of this servers history, and it should stay that way, despite how people felt about it OOC/IC. Thanks for the memories, @JayGamble @MrUntouchable215 @Purmineli

I sure hope you don't ever get a gun than, cause that's pretty retarded. You're supposed to shoot when your life is in danger, or when someone elses life is in danger. Here that is DM if you shoot over that, irl, that's prison and consider your life basically over as it's against the law. It's even outlined in the weapons license application on here, and in the US. It's common sense, use your brain.

I can't believe the limit was further reduced. 60 in my eyes was bad enough as it's an OOC restriction that I find to be extremely goofy. Both PD departments have a combined 207 members, PD will be having MORE cops coming in due to an academy, and SD is currently still recruiting. I find this to be absolutely nuts, on a community that is trying to stop OOC things, IE: Car Dealerships (bad change), "Emailing" in the IC character section, and etc. I said in Flint's thread previously, I don't quite understand who are making these rules and why. The general cucking of criminal RP again makes no sense. Lots of us thought a "criminal update" was coming, but that only further crippled crims and just forced them to make drugs and do nothing else really. Not much script support, obviously a lack of OOC support what are crims supposed to do in this server? I'm not a crim any longer, I'm a cop, but I'm not blind to the problem. All of this is rather unfair and crims are literally being pushed against a wall with little choice to do anything...

I think a rule did need to happen, being robbed at clothing stores, and gas stations was always a bit goofy for me. But to the extent that this server took these rules, is way to far. Not sure who makes these rules, but are crims even being talked to, to give input on them? Because most of the "new rules" that keep coming through, are legit stupid. I feel like the server is trying to fully kill off crim RP and if the higher ups don't realize it, something is wrong. For example, Flint touched on ruleplaying, and he is 10000% right, this does turn the server basically into one big NCZ, where EVERY robbery is now /b you can't do this, and someone goes OOC and starts whining, saying they'll report. I have no problem if someone robs me, but with the majority of the population on this server being children and not being able to handle losing, it's going to lead to a report. Call that insulting or whatever you want, but it's the truth, look at the report section for evidence on that. This is one reason I stopped playing crim, shit isn't fun anymore. I barely play on the server anymore because of the poor rules being enforced and the constant /b during EVERY RP situation which is ridiculous. Also before an admin quotes me, no I'm not going to sit and report every single person on the forums like some ruleplaying keyboard warrior, that is part of the problem and I'm not going to add onto it. Serious rule breaks are what I only report. Albeit, this is a great thread Flint, I don't see it leading to anything like the other ones. I'm sure it'll fall on deaf ears again unfortunately.

If anyone is saying no, do we REALLY think these are accidents? all of these people deserved to be banned. And this is just the last 24hrs of -REPORTED- combat logging.

After reading this thread, I fully agree with it being a perm ban. It's unfair, and in this report you can obviously see the two people that got murked there do not want to roleplay in this server. Jake had all to lose in this situation since he has more guns and a heavy, and can't combat log since he's a veteran and has more to lose. Not to mention, combat logging does show a sign of maturity, if you do it, it's clearly because you're immature and can't handle being on the server. I think you should be able to get a second chance eventually, but it needs to atleast be in a month or two. The uptick in population has made this a VERY big problem. +1, ban all combat loggers.

Leave me alone in prison, I don't want to talk or RP with anyone, especially other inmates because the basis of there RP is running up to someone just to act like morons.

Have to agree with this, I believe every cruiser should have ONE extra vest in it and no extra ammo. Vests are always kept in cruiser trunks just like real life, but ammo is obviously never stored there, plus cops get a bunch of ammo in the first place already. I feel like these would be solid changes.

Complaining about IC actions OOC is soooooooo lame. You're getting extorted, it happens daily in life. Either pay, or get fucked over it's simple really. -1 keep IC situations simply IC, we don't need more NCZ's, we actually need less.

-1 I couldn't imagine having to deal with this as a cop. When I was a cop, this was one of my fears that this would be implemented and I'd have to set time aside and make more written reports regarding this. Also it would be way to hard to find someone that can properly RP a Judge / Lawyer. I don't believe this server is in the state to currently have this implemented either, way to many other things that should be taken care of before this is even brought up.

Sounds like a reason to have more crims sitting in prison doing nothing for 4 hours.

I do not want to see a DOJ on this server, the pettiest crimes would go to court and be rendered a big deal, waste of everyone's time. Not to mention, it would be terrible for a cop to be forced to deal with this. They shouldn't have to be "obligated" to do even more paperwork than they already do. My big problem with the penal code and the laws though, are that the cops get to the write the penal code which doesn't make any sense at all. In fact, I believe somethings in the penal code should be changed, especially with fines / times for things. Just my two cents though.

I've canceled reports on people when they've reached out to me OOC'ly or where I have not occurred a severe loss, I just simply not reported it. I doubt an admin is going to come punish you for something if two parties and maturely agree that something was a mistake and that it won't happen again. That's called being an adult. I'll also continue to do that myself, I was DM'd a few days ago, and it was a mistake, the person apologized and I didn't lose anything major, nor was any RP ruined due to the result of it. Just my point of view, I don't know much of your situation but I'm sure there was more to it than simply that. Regardless, it should be a GOOD thing when the two parties can agree something was a mistake and wasn't done out of malicious hate. Mistakes do happen, as we are all human. It's simply not right to point out everyone's mistake, especially if it's something petty that can be resolved with a simple discord chat, or a /pm.

I mean this thread is rather proof and validation to these claims. Look at how some people are acting in this thread, it's disgusting. It is not hard to keep things IC'ly only, stop taking things personal and letting your OOC feelings interfere with things. I'm not going to name names here because it's pretty obvious who is being toxic, just in this thread.... As far as someone mentioning The Council vs Wanted war, that war probably had less than 5 reports, there was respect on both sides, and it was great. That's how all wars should be, if there is an issue, go to the factions leader about it and talk it out before you start making threads to get people "banned" and bragging about it. This is a role-play server but so many seem to have forgot that and just want to rule-play which is boring.

I was a former cop, and now I'm a zeta, a lot of what people are saying is actually 100% true. But I will say I haven't personally seen cops metagame using ID's, but it'd be almost impossible for me to have known that anyway. Further more, IA reports literally don't do shit, unless it's a big offense, otherwise it's a slap on the wrist. I've seen big things get passed over and turned into nothing but a simple *Verbal* or *Written* warning. A lot of offenses certain cops do or have done, should amount to an instant discharge. Also, to your previous post of telling the guy to "quit moaning" and make an IA report, I honest consider that blasphemy. Again, they go nowhere and it's just a slap on the wrist. Anyway, I'm not going to go into a big rant about this because I know it's pointless but closing points are simple, if you're a cop, you need to put yourself in the criminals shoes, and think about you're doing. We want realism yes, but to a certain extent because at the end of the day this is STILL GTA. For criminals also, need to put yourself in the cops shoes, and think about what you're doing as well. That SIMPLE mindset can cure a lot of problems, and can stop a lot of the /b that goes in the server. One last note as well, you calling others snowflakes and etc, is completely out of pocket. You're a higher up in the PD, insulting people that have genuine concerns is not the way to go. I'm sure High Command would not like to see that type of attitude OOC'ly, especially, since I know it's against the rules and frowned upon.

Valhalla.

I don't see the point of this... I get called the N word whenever I talk on the mic or when someone see's my character. There isn't a place for sensitivity on the internet. Just ignore it and move on.

I agree with this, we all really need to come to middle-ground with this. Just because I'm a cop doesn't mean I agree with jailing crims for 11 days and etc, that's no fun for you guys. And lets be honest, that's no fun for me because what would I do if all you guys were locked away for ages? I fully do think the time needed to be changed, 120 mins is just simply not enough guys. It's not fair to shoot at cops and only get 120, a bigger punishment needed to happen. I think 4-6hrs should be max. But you should only get that if you ABSOLUTELY deserve it. Middle ground guys, put yourself in the others shoes and think if a situation is fair for BOTH sides.

In most states in the US, 311 is considered the less emergent number. This should definitely be added into the server.
