Cerberus Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 (edited) Title. Let me just say first that this isn't in any way a high priority, and isn't a pressing issue. On LSRP there were several factions opened for the purpose of deathmatching, or just causing trouble in some way. I don't think any odd joe should be able to post a faction thread without approval. I think there should be an application process through FM, where a story or something similar would be required. I also think this would greatly increase the quality of factions on the server. Friends who just want to roleplay together and post screenshots could just use the screenshot gallery thread, but I think the faction thread should be reserved for only high quality roleplay, and having a faction or being in a faction should be something of a prestige. Discuss. Edited November 13, 2017 by Drug Related Link to comment
Michael Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 I agree the screenshot thread should be used before creating a faction thread. A lot of people only have two members and they start a faction thread instantly without any development prior, which I do think is annoying/a problem. However I don't think it should be hard to get a faction thread. Maybe just place a set of minimum requirements needed to start a thread. Link to comment
norrig Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 No FM just needs to choose some factions for official soon. Official factions threads should then just be moved to a different subfolder. Or split them all-together into official and unofficial subfolders. Link to comment
Cerberus Posted November 13, 2017 Author Share Posted November 13, 2017 (edited) The server's only been up for a month. I personally don't think any factions should be considered, because they've all been up for less than a month. And that’s not even what this suggestion is about.

Rukka Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 If you believe that a faction is DM'ing, report that faction to either FM or via the forums. I'll forward this up to FM to see what their views are on this suggestion. Link to comment
Ruskie Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 Or we can close faction threads that blatantly showcase DM and piss poor roleplay. Let's not add another hoop that people have to jump through to enjoy the game. 1 Link to comment

I agree with that, but this suggestion wouldn't really add another 'hoop' for people to jump through, as people seriously opening a faction would most likely already have a story/etc. Why not stop the poor roleplay and DM before it even happens?

Bek Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 I must agree that i dont like seeing a faction with only two members, but about the deatmatching, you can just report them. Link to comment

Well I just used deathmatching as an example, but even still on LSRP (and I'm not comparing this server to LSRP or saying that this server will be anything like LSRP) there were factions that existed to get into conflict and deathmatch rather than roleplay and nothing was ever done about it. I also agree with you on seeing factions with only two members. Edited November 20, 2017 by Drug Related Link to comment

Yeah. LS-RP lost the standards with the time, just like SARP. Link to comment
