Yeeeeeeeah that never happens. That's why it should be judged off of the element of intention of crashing, that's the only part of spam which is deserving of a 1-3 month ban, an intention to lag or crash

"Mass Propspam" in that regard can and does happen accidentally, if you spawn props quickly the staff can ban you for 1-3 MONTHS, that's too long for an accident. oftentimes it happens when a player is building so its never recorded.

Yours too, mr -3.

Trial moderator* But still, you will go to great extents to protect your friends bases, including RDM, breaking NLR, and the like. I'm not gonna bother providing evidence, you know you do.

-1 oh please no. I can see the abuse from here.

@Fetn This post pertains to you.

Preface: Hello Garnet gamers, I am here today to propose to you the solution to an issue which has been plaguing our community for quite a while now, the misconception of "mass propspam." The Issue: As it stands now, 5-10+ people are banned per day for anywhere from 1-3 months for the concept of "mass propspam," but 8/10 times, this is not the case. From my observations, several of these cases are given this dictation because of staff having personal or professional agenda against players, either that, or they just want the empowerment of banning somebody for such an outrageous amount of time just to feel powerful. • Mass Propspam, the definition: One thing that staff seem to misunderstand on numerous occasions is the difference between singular propspam and Mass Propspam. The reason that Mass Propspam Is such a major offense is because its original reason for being a bannable offense was because the server would crash if you repeatedly spawned props. Propspam - The repeated spawning of props on a small scale, without malicious intentions or intent to crash/lag the server. (Punishable by jail/warnings.) Mass Propspam - The repeated spawning of props on a massive scale (across several districts/bases,) typically with intentions to cause lag and or crash the server. (Punishable by 1-3 months ban.) • Stacker tool: Stacker tool is commonly misinterpreted for mass propspam by staff, and people have been banned simply for stacking too many props using the tool. Stacker has been specifically cultivated to not cause crashing and/or lag to the server when used, and therefore, should void propspam charges. ( @Garnet Confirm this?) My solution: In the Rules, D3A guide, (both in the staff docs and on the forums,) and all other official documents, there is no direct dictation that rules the terms and conditions which justify a Mass propspam ban; I suggest that we create official guidelines that determine that mass propspam refers to the spam which is intended to lag/crash the server and is done in a wide area or across several districts. I say that we break it up into 3 distinct types: • Propspam - 0-20 props which are spammed within milliseconds of each other. (Punishable by a warning/Jail time) • Mass Propspam - Anywhere from 20 props onward spammed repeatedly in a public street and/or across several districts/areas. (1 month ban, 2-3 depending on severity.) With intentions to crash/lag the server. • Stacker tool - Stacking anywhere from 0-∞ props using the stacker tool, as it does no damage to the server, has no punishment. Conclusion: As long as we have a ban which can be extended up to 3 months, staff can and will abuse it to fuel their egos and feel authoritative, that, and to get rid of players that they don't like. Adding a more strict set of conditions to this term can save many players unnecessary ban time, and not have staff abuse their ability to ban someone for spawning a couple of props in succession. Thank you.

There are so many ideas here, the server will be the greatest in Gmod history if this is accepted! @Garnet himself would be proud!

So informative! @evity Accept this bad boy.

In order for ALL light to physically pass through, the material would have to be invisible. Technically, even the wireframe wires would cast a small shadow if they were shown light.

*cough* Let's sit down and have a lesson for a sec kiddo. Transparent = Fully invisible, or able to be completely seen through. Translucent = Allowing for objects to be seen through the material, but not entirely. What I think you're trying to suggest is a rewording of the crurent rule to state that you may materialize fences, however, they must remain translucent.

I've personally seen you break next to every staff rule without consequence. 3: No matter how many times I report you it never avails anything

People like you, you're not a regular player. Keep in mind when comparing that favored players don't get bans because they are let off for everything

Do keep in mind when saying he has 2 bans since the beginning of 2019 that we're in APRIL, that's four months of good behavior with 2 stains on that record. Keep also in mind when you said "over 10 bans since 2017," that's two years time. It happens. No need for a permanent ban. Might agree with you if it was all 2019, but seriously dude. This is a span of 2017 to FEB 2019

-1 Not that many bans. They do accumulate, this guys been around for like a year..
