In the F4 menu we used to be able to click a header, "name" for example, and it would list all members of that faction in alphabetical order. It worked like this for every section and it would be really helpful if it was added back.

I've just spent a while with someone trying to setup the same race track over at Garbage, starting at Cayo bridge, and that was incredibly painful. Even after we figured out the exact dimensions that would work, the whole system about inviting yourself and then accepting your own invitation for a race just seems unnecessary. Moreover, unless I'm informed incorrectly, I wasn't able to find an option in which I could share the race I had created. I really like the idea of the racing script but as it stands right now, it's not really useable unless you're doing it alone for a one off race and it's all a bit too complicated to create a race. As I said in my other recent suggestion, I have no idea how coding works, but I would love to see a more improved racing script that is easy to create races on, easy to start a racing session where you don't need to invite someone every time, and where you can share the race track or make it public.

This may have already been suggested but I know I speak on behalf of everyone in PD and probably SD too, it would be insanely appreciated to get a search bar in the uniforms section of the faction loadouts. I have no idea how coding works but I can't imagine it is too much of a task to get something like that setup in a reasonably quick timeframe. As someone who is reasonably high up in PD, there are so many uniforms, literally hundreds if not thousands, and a simple search bar would go a long way as a quality of life improvement.

I heard from other people on the staff team it doesn't go into the treasury?

As far as I am aware, the labour prices don't go to either the mechanics or the treasury of the Mechanic faction and it is just a money sink hole. Players pay enough taxes on their salary as it is, I think if someone has grinded hard enough to get the money together for expensive vehicle modifications, they shouldn't be punished with a potential large sum added on top.

These examples are baffling. If you're referencing a 1 second L dance as your example then we really don't have much to worry about do we. That's more of a snowflake issue than anything. It was me that did the L dance (IC action) and immediately cancelled it as I felt I wasn't being realistic as a cop in that moment, that's a small lapse of judgement in the moment. Then the second point about mocking someone who crashed, there needs to be context because what if the evading individual has done 5 car swaps in 240 vehicles, just killed cops or attempted an ambush. Of course you're going to be met with verbal backlash when you get caught. Furthermore, a big part of this server is understanding the difference between IC and OOC, if someone mocks you OOCly then fair enough report it, but how are players interacting with you for the first time to know how much you're struggling mentally or socially? A real example of something that needs addressing (from a long term LEO main) would be the ability for us in LEO factions to /delcruiser and spawn one instantly to re-join a pursuit whilst the evading vehicle doesn't get the luxury of refueling or getting a vehicle repair. I've started to break off in a high speed vehicle when I need a repair and actually go to Benny's to give the evading player a chance to escape or go and refuel at a gas station instead of just spawning a new one in seconds. Yes, it is the community that needs to change and LEO's will do their very best, we already are. Alternatively, criminal characters need to step up and not resort to /b at every half opportunity.

Thank you! +1 from me, would remove a lot of toxicity. If it's not fully removed then at least adding a cooldown would help out a lot. Keep /pm but /b is not a necessity to the server, just something people have become overly reliant on.

It's fine to have an opinion but stooping to insults isn't really necessary. This is an RP server believe it or not, where people interact ICly. If you wish to talk about OOC things then why would you use an IC server as your main means for it? It genuinely doesn't make any sense. You could also remove /pm but I believe in keeping it for the uses of people requesting to save POV or have clarity on a situation that may have just happened. The use of /b being a social aspect isn't a great argument for keeping it, like I said before, it's a huge issue at the moment as people complain as soon as they're caught by PD or shot by another gang "/b HELLO?" etc.

You would still be able to communicate via /pm for OOC means. People don't use /b to have casual OOC chat and if anything, you're playing an RP server, you're on the server to play a character not have a chat that can happen on Discord so I find that argument to be very poor. The main issue with /b is that it has become a common breeding ground for toxicity and people spamming it when something doesn't go their way, trying to pause a scene which only Admins have the authority to do. Of course it would require the staff team to be actively in game to handle /reports, but there's actually no real need to have /b and many servers operate just fine without it. If not fully removing it, as I suggested further up, there could be a cooldown so people focus on the IC interactions, not use the server as an excuse for an OOC group chat or alternative for VRChat. "common sence amigo !!! XDXD" - yeah, okay..

Discord or have moderators+ the only users with access to /b and they can announce something at an event. There's also lifeinvader for links, it doesn't all need to be in /b, a lot of servers operate well without it and ours is usually used for trash talk. Perhaps if we weren't to fully remove it, there could be a cooldown introduced where you can send 1 /b message every 1 minute, 2 minutes, 5 minutes etc. I think the ultimate goal is to be able to have RP interactions without people constantly complaining in /b.

We've all done it and we've all seen it, whenever something happens that someone isn't happy about it not going their way, particularly with LEO / criminal interactions, it always ends up immediately in /b. Now it might sound like a big change and a wild one at first but I believe if we remove /b, the general community would benefit. There's /pm's if you need to OOCly contact someone and if something is pressing enough that it needs intervention or to be paused, then use /report. I'm not aware of the size of the admin team, but if we have active moderators and admins then it shouldn't be a problem. Hopefully it would take us a step closer to leaving behind this forum reporting craze that everyone loves to do these days.

The rule would make sense if we had a large, active player base but we simply do not anymore. This change would benefit gangs and hopefully encourage people to be more active and give LEO's something to do. Deep down we all love a good shootout and this would balance things out in terms of numbers.
