I'm sorry but this part of taz's response is just so one sided, staff are supposed to be the reason the server functions correctly. If the server is failing, it's not the players fault at all, it's the staff's.I don’t think enough people see this—staff members try and be fair and take sits as they come in. Their sits are probably filled up with a ton of bullshit reports made by people who neglected to read the rules and think they got ”rdm’d”. They have to treat everyone fairly, which can be an issue for you if its a really important sit, but seeing it through the eyes of staff should make you respect them more.
In regards to the quantity over quality comment, I’ve never been in a sit with a staff member who wasn’t extremely good at their job and they all knew what they were doing. There might be a lot of staff, but considering people complain about sits not being taken the increase in staff should please you.

I agree but mostly people just don’t take the time to read the rules. I used to be like that for a while, but now I know them like the back of my hand.The fact that so many get banned due to rulebreaks suggests either desperation or overly complex rules.
To keep a consistent and strong playerbase they need to be not banned.
It seems sensible to do a rules rewrite. The server is not the same one as these rules were made for, and its a mess of amendments and precedents that no new player or normal player under pressure can navigate. If I as staff have to read and check and message superiors to check during a sit, the rules aren't clear enough.
The thing that perplexes me to this day, is even when I was staff. I saw staff banning people when they could have easily just received a 1 week blacklist from weapons for the rule they broke and let them explain their reasoning in an appeal. Now if someone goes and RDM's 2 people on purpose they get banned for a month.The fact that so many get banned due to rulebreaks suggests either desperation or overly complex rules.

Blacklists should be utilized more than bans. It just makes a lot more sense. I got a week’s corrections blacklist instead of a few days’s ban, and that definitely was more effective than a ban.The thing that perplexes me to this day, is even when I was staff.

This is exactly what I meant by one of my replies on here. I find it crazy to me that a rule explained by PMX isn't clear to an everyday player in the rulebook or other staff, staff should not once ever have to go to higherups for help with rules.... why you ask? Because there fucking staff they are supposed to know each and every rule because there the same ones enforcing it. I always felt as if the higherups knew more or they made up rules to just keep the server and staff in tact. The server rules seriously need reworked and rewritten as I'm clearly not the only person who realized this.If I as staff have to read and check and message superiors to check during a sit, the rules aren't clear enough.
My first week back on the server in April, PMX gave me a 2 day vehicle blacklist and I swore never to VDM again from that day. Walking around everywhere is aids. That is why blacklists work better, they teach people who actively play better then just banning them.Blacklists should be utilized more than bans. It just makes a lot more sense.

It's like running any business, you fire all your employee's who ask for raises since they do extra work and replace them with people who slump and don't care about anything you tell them to do, so your business fails.
Lead to long report times, which leads to ppl commenting with harsh punishments and leads to bans, well if this is how you want the server, then you are not entitled to make a report if someone breaks a rule. You cannot have it both ways.I'd rather have a bunch of crazy people in the server who got unban and have it be fun than to have a server that's dying by the day
YES! (To some point, not sure about the guns, I agree but that just wont happen)A lot of this stuff here people have problems with contradict each other. First you say staff members take too long to take reports, then complain about an increase in staff. You complain in OOC about someone MRDMing and then say the staff was being too harsh. Staff is not the issue. Make up your minds.
What IS a valid point though is the RP. Cops have become way too powerful, and it’s starting to make it so that people fear for their lives or freedom when pulled over because cops will break rules and get away with it because the entire force is on their side. That makes people just fight cops or run whenever confronted, which leads to shootouts and FragRP. Plus, raids are more of a military operation than a simple drug bust. The PD is more focused on bringing everyone in that house down than doing what theyre supposed to do, arrest them. Cops need to have less power. And by no means do they need assault rifles. A vector should be the best thing they can carry. They’re supposed to keep the peace, not murder everyone. If you want to RP military ops, join an MRP server. There’s plenty of good ones. It just ruins the RP that monolith is supposed to be when people tear apart the city from the inside.
Could have been solved by a 2 week blacklist.Hazer came on few days ago for the first time in 3 months and got a two week ban for fail driving... i know the guy has a history of punishments longer than the burj khalifa but still i think that was too much.
Different staff have different punishing options, when I was staff in a situation like that I would ask them, do you prefer a ban or a blacklist? And I would go with what they chose. I realize you guys think certain staff are two faced/two sided or just biased and break rules but that's why you report them. And yet to mention it's THE staff members fault not the whole staff team.Could have been solved by a 2 week blacklist.
