[DarkRP Staff Roster | Month of April, 2024]

Yeahhhh!!!! Good work everyone!

[Make taking money when breaking NLR on a base raid timer or coming back count as Scamming if they don't give it back]

I agree for the most part yes, that definitely is scamming but there really isn't a way we can force players to pay the scammed amount and most of the time it falls on the mod/admin that takes the sit, resulting in fewer mods willing to take said sit. To me, making this punishable gives it a higher chance of them paying back the amount they took after breaking their timer. This is technically Scamming and FRP.

 

For me it's a +1

[Request License]

I'm suggesting a command to be added to all CP classes including Warden and Mayor (For the reason of checking if someone was falsely jailed). CP Classes have needed this command for a while to be able to check if someone has a gun license or not, even if its just a small fake id GUI that at least confirms that they have one works wonders in the Police Department jobs, this allows almost near realistic PD Roleplay including Legal/Illegal gun stores and owners bringing a fun atmosphere when running Raiding/Criminal classes and Gun Dealers as well.

 

I think this would benefit the server in more way than just one, if a cop were to arrest someone with a gun license today we wouldn't be able to keep track of something like that it would just be on pure retention of remembering who exactly they bought the gun from or if they bought a license from PD, which makes no sense. If there's no Check License command, there should be no licenses in the first place. This should be a very very very easy fix and command to add.

Personally, your paragraphs are good just a little repetitive. you've read the rules and you're available at times most American staff aren't. Maybe just try and socialize a little bit more and open up slowly, I do have a feeling you will be good as staff and well liked it just takes some time

 

So from me..

[Raid Logging / Leaving To Avoid Raid (LTAR)]

This is where I disagree and think this could use some work.

FailRP is when someone is known to be punished and decides to leave the game in attempt to try to avoid it. That's when a FailRP is escalated to FailRP+LTAP.
FailRP+LTAP is already at a 1 day ban, which is not very severe but still a measurable ban coming from a Warn w/4-6 minute jail.

Now we get into Raid Logging. Nobody likes Raid logging, it's the worst part of DarkRP, and I think anyone who's pulled off a raid has had this happen to them. It's not fun to pull off a raid, the player leaves, and you have nothing to show for your sweet success.
However, I don't think we should be enforcing a ban more severe than 1 day for somebody who leaves the game because they're defeated.

No Intent to RP? Well, that case could be made. They had no intent to roleplay losing defending a base, or otherwise were mad enough that they left the game.

 

However, this would be difficult to implement. Sure, the logs show that someone was raided, and that they died, and then that they disconnected - but is there any way to prove that the person actually left to avoid their printers being stolen? Even a video of you raiding the base, killing someone, and then they leave the server would be a bit iffy if you didn't know if they even had printers or anything valuable inside.

I think if we're honest about this and how we'd proceed with actually punishing this, it's clear that this is not something the staff team has in the past ever wanted to deal with and not something to easily define a rule around. Say I'm a player, I join, I get raided. Am I now supposed to remain on the server for 5 minutes after I was killed in the raid before I'm allowed to play something else? 10 minutes? Am I held hostage now in the GarnetGaming server as someone milks my printers? Am I only required to stay until someone decides to claim my prints (taking up to 10 minutes on their raid as allowed)?

I think the community mostly agrees that it'd be nice to have a rule in place to either prevent or at least punish and curb this behavior from continuing. But I don't see a good suggestion on what the actual rule is, or any punishment that I can agree would be fair for the crime of leaving the server after you lost.

Really, the best way in my opinion would be to have someone's entities remain on the server for ~2 minutes after they disconnect, giving anyone a chance to fight over remaining printers, get some claims in, etc.
This would prevent there needing to be a rule followed or any stricter guidelines placed on players that won't get followed or consistently enforced anyways. But since I don't know how hard this would be to implement or any exploitation risks involved, I'll just leave my wall of text here for the next person bored enough to read my thoughts.

Until the community can come up with a fair: Rule for this scenario and Punishment for this scenario, for this I will remain Neutral.

There is already a system in place where the printers actually do have a grace period when the player disconnects, this is also an issue with people who intentionally destroy their printers/loot then leave. So if a player disconnects and it isn't a timeout, I feel like Leaving to avoid Roleplay should be a Warnable Offence just like when people do kill in console that's Fail RP we don't have a rule on people who just disconnect in an RP situation. And I wanted to add, I feel like it comes down to the time when the people leave, the only reason I brought this up in suggestions was because the people left about 1min 30sec after raid was adverted, the screenshots were taken about a minute apart since I took the report and thought it was very unfair. So personally I agree that the grace period for disconnection should be about 2 minutes, anything before 2 minutes should be at least a 1 day ban for Leaving To Avoid RP/Raid (LTAR)

[Raid Logging / Leaving To Avoid Raid (LTAR)]

Description: Personally, I feel like most people on garnet have experienced this before, being in the middle of raiding someone's base and they just disconnect with all their printers going with them. I feel like everyone can agree that this is one of the most annoying things to happen when you're in the middle of a raid, there's no punishment for this listed in the Server Rules or the D3A Guidelines, which I think it should be, Raid Logging is a form of Fail RP and should be taken seriously. Raid logging has been "allowed" for too long here on garnet and I feel like there needs to be some change.

Reasoning: Raid logging is still a form of Fail RP and No intent to RP both in the same instance and should be treated as such, people lose valuable loot from this happening, and it's also just mass fail roleplay. Not cool.

Additional Information: 

This is just additional proof to add on that when this does happen, it's always entire bases and clans.

[Bongo's Mod application.]

I've seen you around talked and played with you quite a bit, you're a very outgoing person which is very helpful working as staff. I personally think you would be a great fit on our team and have zero reason not to give you a +1, warns are only temporary and stuff just happens we can all be forgiven that's why they're warnings. Your paragraphs are pretty average and well constructed so for me its a +1

 

Also to add on, I feel like we need to take into consideration the type of Harassment certain people go through before they get those warnings, it's very unfair to b0ngo and other people who want to become staff so they can deal with minges professionally instead of taking it into their own hands.

open-minded about giving you a plus one. really friendly in game which is a good attribute to have when apply for staff. But where it says why should we pick you over other applicants minimum of 2 paragraphs it looks like one long paragraph. please go back and make it 2 and I will change it to a plus one. Also, your playtime is low in my opinion could be because I have some much lol, but that will be beefed up down the line so no worries with that I see you on enough to be active.

Hey Chawhead, I just updated and renewed my paragraphs tell me what ya think!

-/+ Current warns

-/+ Playtime

- Paragraphs

+ Read the rules

 

Here is my advice:

The biggest one is beefing up your paragraphs but its also worth mentioning that we usually want people to wait it out until warns come off their record.

Don't let this stop you from applying though. Focus on your paragraphs and I don't see much of an issue

 

NEUTRAL for now

Hey Danny, I just wanted to let you know i added a bit more and fixed some grammatical errors caused by autocorrect to make my application look just a little more neat. I also wanted to let you know i rack up at-least 8 hours a day on garnet just going around interacting with people helping people learn the game how to use commands and prop menu/utilities. And i’m also proud to say I know 100% of all in-game rules. I hope to see you around on garnet some time

Do you have access to Discord and a microphone?: [YES/NO] Yes, I own a microphone and have a Discord account.
Do you have the ability to record Garry's Mod videos?:[YES/NO] Yes, I use medal for all my clips.

    Past experiences as staff: [Optional] I've staffed on some Minecraft servers, Rust servers and Multiple experiences with discord and ticketing systems.
    Why should we choose you over other applicants? [minimum 2 paragraphs]I have great skills when it comes to getting across information and points and I work great in a team setting but also do great just by myself, my biggest attribute of my workstyle is that I really don't slack and I don't do much off-time. I understand Lua so I understand most functions and "bugs" about Gmod and can give great insight on how to possibly fix annoying server glitches and bugs. I feel like I personally should be chosen to become staff because of my great attributes, my almost unwanted kindness towards everybody and my working demeanor willing to get anything done the way it's supposed to be done in the first place, I really hate having to do things twice with the same person. I would be an amazing pick for this staff team because it seems when im always online there's only 1 or 2 mods online to do something about it.
    Have you ever been banned or punished on any server? If so, Include details I haven't been banned on any G:mod server, but mentioned earlier I have had infractions on garnet.
    Have you made any previous applications, If so when?:No I haven't, this is my first and I'm just giving it my all.
    How much time do you have to contribute to the role?:I'm basically on 4-6 hours every night when most staff have their afk/off-time in my timezone.
    If you have any, what hobbies or activities are you involved in outside of Garry's Mod? I work at a sandwich shop making roast beef sammich, but it pays me well enough.
Did you read the staff rules?:StS Versa / versa
