At this time we are not looking to build our ruleset around the pre-existing Terms of Service of a streaming platform. We have countless members that stream the server daily who have not had issues with ToS breaches, and on top of that anything that they find to be too sensitive in correlation to ToS for Twitch/Youtube is something that is most likely covered in our rules (i.e Racism, LGBTQ+ Slurs, etc.) and can be reported. Basing our rules around a (smaller) portion of the community is not healthy for everyone else that does not stream or hold the "worry" of breaking some form of ToS for content creation. Locked & Archived.

Upon players placing bids on auctions/raffles, activity is checked. There have been countless bids/ticket sales that have been revoked/removed due to the player(s) being inactive in past raffle/auctions. As this is something that is already regulated, this will be locked & archived.

As Ash said, this was something that was brought up in a recent moderator+ meeting and will be considered. I cannot promise anything, but there is a discussion being had about this topic. Until a change or a more definitive answer can be given, please be patient! Locked & Archived.

Please continue to keep the replies and comments constructive. We of course are perfectly fine with opposing opinions to help further the conversation/discussion, but there is no need to slander, create accusatory comments, harass, etc. factions or other players. Any comments that do not directly 'benefit' towards the conversation will be hidden. Thank you!

Overall, my total favorite experience is just meeting everyone I know (OOCly & ICly) and gaining friends. Specific RP, I will never forget the first time I met Darius Bivins at Bayview. Second to this, is back in 2020 when gangs would enforce color, I was putting blue on my car, and at the same time watched some Zetas gun someone down in LSC with an AK for having his car blue and refusing to change it. Some may say that could be a negative thing, but as a newplayer/new to the server player, it struck fear into me when it came to interacting with Zetas. I have never swapped the color I chose quicker than that moment. Here's a funny clip of me starting turmoil between a good friend of mine from Africa (yes, actually) and someone putting on the accent. Bayview days were top tier.

Personally I wouldn't be opposed to this, I believe that due to the scarcity of criminal role players ordering and using armor it may show beneficial to lower the armor points for PD/SD whether it's a 'for the time being' change or a permanent one. However, if LEO armor points drop, I believe that weapon prices should NOT lower/raise, because then after a few weeks it will inevitably be the "LEO don't have enough armor to combat the amount of armed criminals that are running about!" argument. Below I will touch on each point raised by OP, and (I don't think I need to say this but I will), this is my solo opinion as a community member, not as a staff member or member of the LSPD. SWAT/SED Armor: Speaking as a member of SWAT myself, I do still believe that divisions like SWAT and SED should of course have the highest armor option(s), as out of anyone in any department, as those are the divisions that often insert themselves into situations where they may face high lethal force and be outnumbered. Naturally, they should have higher AP armor paired with their weapons - they are meant to be the division(s)/unit(s) to end situations like that (to the best of their abilities of course). (To preface, for those who don't know, SWAT and SED have two (2) 'versions' of patrol, PASSIVE is when they are on standard patrol and ACTIVE is when they put on 'their gear' for operations for situations that call for it.) SWAT/SED Passive (current): 150 AP SWAT/SED Active (current): 150 AP SWAT/SED Passive (suggested): 100AP (highest AP a criminal can order armor for) SWAT/SED Active (suggested): 125AP (25 AP higher than above) The reason the "Passive" uniform should still be 100AP, is due to the fact that whether they are active or passive, they will still respond to high threat scenes where high lethal force may be present (and we don't consider every situation (such as a bank robbery) to be a situation to go 'active' for), so they should of course still have somewhat of a higher hand, being that 'team' that trains for situations such as those and inserts themselves into it if it makes sense. The 'Active' armor should be 125AP, because if we put those uniforms on, we are 85% of the time inserting ourselves into 'one of those' situations. General Officers: Speaking for standard patrol officers, they may find themselves in some situations such as those more scarcely (as they of course do general duties as patrol officers and not big bad SWAT bois), I don't see a reason to patrol in anything higher than 50-75AP armor. If this is done, three things may come of it; 1: GOB (General Patrol) officers will need to be more careful of which situation(s) they insert themselves in due to the possible threat of life (i.e waiting for SWAT to arrive at a Bank or Store Robbery before 'going in') 2: GOB (General Patrol) officers will implement calling units such as SWAT/SED more frequently - giving people in those divisions more 'action' and RP interaction(s) 3: There won't be a constant predicament of 'every' officer running around with the highest AP number that criminals can order (again, doubling back to #2) Regarding SWAT & GOB armor, there will be times that MANY officers even go on patrol without ANY armor on at all, including myself. It's hard for me to put a decent 'balance' in my opinion, as there will inevitably people who disagree with SWAT/SED's use cases and armory (armor, weapons, etc), but heyho, it's worth at least hearing the opinion. Weapons: - I do not know the exact weapon damage values as per the server defines them, I'm just doing math with the calculator app with knowledge available to anyone :^) - References are linked in each weapon name. - I will not talk about Pump shotgun, Pistol(s), or SMG & Micro as those are available to anyone. I do understand the 'issue' with weapons available to LEO, but, (and I hate to be cliché), it's what is realistic for the department(s) to have and I don't think there is a large-scale / game breaking issue with the weapons allowed. I'll briefly go over a few weapons; Carbine Rifle 32 Damage, 65 Fire Rate, and 55 Accuracy. Looking at the AK, it's 2 damage points higher than the AK (AK fire rate = 60). Looking at the damage numbers POST weapon damage update, the AK was boosted by 50%, and the Carbine by 20% (AK=45 DMG, Carbine=38.4 DMG) The reason it seems like carbine is better than the AK, is because you are shooting an AK at someone who has armor, compared to LEO shooting at someone with (normally) no armor, so inb4 "4 sHoT cArBiNe", think of the differences with armored v non-armored. Marksman Rifle & Sniper Rifle It's hard to put these in comparison of another weapon, as there are about 2 (that I OOCly know of) sniper rifles (Heavy & Standard) on the server owned by non-LEO. The use cases are restricted, and only members of SWAT/SED can use them - even at that, it's restricted as to how many can be out at once, and the proper usage in non-hostage related situations is rare. The usage of the sniper rifle actually being used is the rarest I've seen in PD, I've only seen it used ~4-5 times in my year in the faction. Special Carbine (G36C)* To make this next statement abundantly clear, this is not meant to be a "yOuRe WrOnG" to the OP comment --- the LSPD/SD/DOC does not have access to any MK2 weapons what-so-ever. I won't go too into details, if you click the hyperlink you can see it's ranked higher than the AK by 3 weapons. I personally hate having the Special Carbine in our armory, not because of it's power, but for immersion purposes (it's damage can be argued, but so can 30-man banks and lab shootout scenes which we involve ourselves in from time to time and us needing to escalate our end for those). To those who don't have knowledge of OOC ATU (Anti-Terror Units), the G36C is used by the GSG-9 (a German Anti Terror Unit). I despise being a representation of the LAPD using a weapon utilized by a German ATU. Personally, I'd like to see the Carbine Rifle MKII be implemented, and have the damage dropped to the same level as the carbine mainly for immersion/aesthetic. At that, we also have heavy restrictions on using the Special Carbine - we do not allow members of SWAT (I cannot speak for SED as their protocols are different) to carry Special Carbines on standard patrol due to it's statistics. Vehicle(s): I don't have much to say about the vehicles, SWAT/SED have protocols in place relating to when a specific vehicle can be pulled out or not. Additionally - the Insurgent (no gun) is the only vehicle with bulletproof tires (no bulletproof windows), and the TARV is the only vehicle with bulletproof windows (non bulletproof tires). Normally in most situations, those vehicles will be pulled out for operations such as drug lab raids/explosions or DOC HVT transports, where even at that, people won't try to intervene due to the chances of breaking their friends out < getting caught doing so. The only personal PAST distaste towards vehicles (and this is the rarest vehicle that gets used, I've seen it 2 times in my year tenure in the LSPD and one other time outside of being in the LSPD) is the usage of the Insurgent 50 cal. It's not used a lot, and we require heavy permissions, so the use case is EXTREMELY I cannot stress this enough EXTREMELY limited (you'd have a higher chance to see 12 different 1 of 1 supers in a day than to see this). Even with it being pulled out, it's meant to only be a deterrent and 'persuade' people to leave an area/not get involved. The TL;DR, is that in my opinion LEO should ONLY use what is accessible, nothing where only one/two ranks in the department can pull it out.
