I dont know if it can be answered here but I have questions that I talked with a staff about which lead to a brick wall. I had my lab marked as "NRP" a few weeks back and I spend about 2 hours with staff getting it to a point where it was considered realistic and that it followed all the rules. Now my build is considered NRP not because it looks unrealistic but because the wording in the rule is very vague. "a build with the intention of having a ridiculous number of tables" How many tables is a "ridiculous number"? I am willing to send screen shots of my final build that was approved a few weeks back that was 90% free space that was not used for cooking. I just need clarification because I think the wording is way to vague. Edit: Another issue I have is the argument "Use the space provided" The issue is not the space, its the props in the way we cant move. IF each building was just walls/floor/roof and if we wanted a bed etc we would place them our self. This would make alot more sense and allow more people to stop cooking in 500k apartments and set up in 1gs. I personally think this way would allows for more realistic labs and for more customization on the civilian side of things.

I personally think to fix this add a system to allowed time serverd, basically if you are charged for 3 hours but you spend 1 hour in a pending state you only go to DOC for 2 hours

This happened to me recently aswell (Not my POV but shows it happening) https://streamable.com/15gpql

New Responsibility After recent event, we had a major change internally. This lead to a leadership movement and goals changing. Word spread quick and groups thought we were weak. Some groups more than others started to test their luck with us but [REDACTED] took it to far. The used reasons that made ZERO sense to start attacking us while we were down. But they did not attack us in any normal way. They attacked our locations. They would sell drugs to our dealers making them not do any business with us. They did the same with our mechanics. This caught us off guard first as we gave them no reason to attack but as the days went on more and more information started to funnel its way down. We found out that the new group [REDACTED] and a smaller group [REDACTED] was working with [REDACTED] to remove us from the city. Everyone knows that on their own they are incapable of fighting us with weapons but when it comes to drugs they can succeed in their goal. This lead to high command looking at people to delegate work. This fell on myself and Marcus. We were assigned to managing the flow of drugs coming in and out. So we started working and strategizing what to do next. We went back and forth on what we could do to become more self sufficient. We implemented a few ideas that have gotten us as a whole back on track but we still got a long ways to go. In the mean time we did what we know best. Hold our ground. [REDACTED] are not known as fighters and have purposely hid from us. However, every once in a while when we catch them out in the open we act. This lead to members from [REDACTED] claiming "We can't beat you in guns fights, but we can and will outsmart you in drugs". Well sniffing coke everyday only last so long. Since being appointed to this role I have tried my best to get thing running smoothly but as all things go you hit a few bumps. As we are in a active "drug war" getting people into the war mentality takes time. So day by day I will continue to work towards making Russians what it once was and getting us away from being depended on luxury's that can be taken from us at any moment. (Thanks for reading)

Well based on the 2ed picture you are in DOC, so fines my G

This is why Im just going to keep to ingame reports. The risk to redemption" is not good enough at this point. I don't know what changed but it seems like staff get you for the littlest things like saying "I don't hear them if you get what I mean". Like I was punishment free for over a year now every week its something new. So this is what its come to. I don't see this thread doing anything at this point to change/benefit the community so can it be archived.

At this point I want staff to close this, its a useless topic and I just cant be asked at this point. Even when I request a report be dropped 3 times when Im asked why and told they push the report through and I receive a punishment because of a missunderstanding. Im done reporting as it is a wait of time and will eventually get myself banned. This is what reports have come to, you cant even drop report anymore and every report, valid or not just leads to issues so reporting is usless.

I agree, excessive /b is an issue which I have contributed to. In certain situational tensions and frustrations are high and it happens. However, lately I have been seeing situations where someone had broken a rule or done something that ruins an experience and when you /report 3 or 4 you get 0 response till the situation is to old for anything to happen. I personally try not to say "save POV" for two reasons, one being its not allowed anymore and two if I want someone to save POV I pm them, but I have been in a few situation recently where I have openly got into arguments in /b with people regarding RP situations. Im not saying Its right but its both party's at fault for participating. Edit - what I can say though is the situations that caused me to go into /b ruined my Rp/experience more than seeing the ooc text so I feel more than just the ooc needs to be fixed/handled to improve RP.

Well maybe im coming at this from the wrong angle. I can agree that during wars there is always going to be increased reports because 90% of the time it becomes a IC and OOC war but maybe you are right about there being more reports but maybe the issue is not the amount of reports but how many are being accepted. I don't know if you even agree with this but maybe the reason that people think reports are a bigger and bigger issue is not because of the quantity but how many lately have been going through even when similar situation get denied. I can provide examples of this happening but even if not I still feel that more and more reports get accepted and more and more reports skip the two partys trying to work it out.

How during the Zeta days people handled things ingame. Now people get reported for saying "fuck you" once in ooc. So I believe you are very wrong.

Its worse. Even since December of 2019 when I joined I have seen petty reports skyrocket and rules become more strict.

-1. I feel the DM rules along with others should be not as strict but when it comes to the time you have to basically blast someone without talking is fine. 3 hours is long enough.

An Example Misunderstanding leading to punishments. Things were going good, I continued to do what I needed to do while we all worked towards our goal. It was a normal day when I woke up to my name getting called over the radio to meet in Paleto. I had some ideas what it could be about but when I finally arrived I couldn't have been more off. The meeting started with questions but slowly turned into a serious talk. Word got out that I had plans of [REDACTED]. Talking lead to more talking and the word spread. More people that shouldnt have known about [REDACTED] knew and it looked bad. I was then told unfortunate news that [REDACTED] demanded a finger and that I be marked. After talking back and forth and getting everything that needed to be said out I looked down. I understood I made a mistake by not only giving to much information but trusting people not to spread it. But the time came. We all walked over to my car and prepared. I stood there, silent, thinking about what I had done and what I was going to do next. Then I was told to place my hand onto the hood. It was expressed from the start that the higher ups felt it was not completely my fault but that it was partially theirs for giving out more information than they should. They said if it was up to them no punishment would be issued by that [REDACTED] demanded it. I made sure they knew I took nothing from that situation in vein. I was not mad at them for what they had to do and I was not mad at who made them do it. I was only mad at myself and the person that got me into this situation. After this everyone but myself drove off, shortly after one of my old friends Pablo showed up. He had watched the whole thing go down and wanted to know what just happened and why. I sat there looking at the bleeding empty space where my finger was as I told him. After thinking for a bit I used a IFAK to wrap myself up while Pablo cleaned the blood off my car. We spoke for a bit longer while I processed to say what just happened. I then called a command member to discuss what to do next. I was told to wait till we can have a proper meeting and to lay low in the meantime. Me and Pablo then decided to move to a more secure/hidden location where we talked further about the whole situation and about how he felt. It lead to more conversations about our past and seeing things change through the times. We ended it just agreeing that we will see how things play out and stay true to what we believe in and our goals. (Thanks for reading!)

Ya but this is what I mean where since its a "grey zone" I still get punished. Just because its a slap on the wrist server wise its 100% going to prevent me from getting back into PD. Everything that goes onto someones record affects them no matter how big or small. But now Im just not going to do any kind up build up like this no matter the time because all it takes is a weird semantics issue and I have DM 1. Not worth my time so now my RP suffers.
