afaik the problem with gas is that it does damage even if we set the damage to zero so it eventually just kills people and we cant cancel it with gas masks, only godmode solves it which obviously isnt a solution.
Snake cam already makes the user invisible and fixes their position. Having thrown or fireable tear gas wouldn't be viable in the majority of cases because you'd just be firing at a wall or window and there's no way to actually transfer that gas inside. Why not allow something similar to snakecam, but the user can place down tear gas canisters that emit a smoke particle and anyone within X radius suffers screen effects etc?

I'd like to see more consistency in terms of punishment issued. It appears there's no consistency and people can lie to admins on reports and get warnings, whereas first time offenders get admin jails for something that wasn't malicious.

This can happen when you specify a word count too, so I don't see the point you're trying to make here. You specify a 350 word count and its 353, someone could come in and pull that same excuse. Specifying a small paragraph is easier to quantify.
Not really? <= 100 words, it stays open. > 100 words? close it.

Specifying a paragraph count limited to 3-4 sentences per paragraph gives a much easier picture of what a forum report should look like. People aren't going to count their words. Admins can moderate reports much easier that way by just looking at the initial post and responding posts. If walls of text are included, close the thread. Ask the OP to resubmit in the above format. Don't be afraid to issue forum warnings for breaking these rules.
I don't think this would work. GTAW rulings are already full of inconsistencies. There's no reason to make it worse by having a wishy washy, vague requirement for reports. "But but this report had three words more and you didn't close it!! Why did you close mine!!" leading to an inevitable staff report.
A hard word count is easier to enforce and if you can't be bothered copy and pasting it into a word counter then quite frankly why should an admin be bothered reading it?

With the new changes - it was a good START in my opinion. However, it needs to be tweaked even more. I don't want to hear about the story of what happened persay. I want a 'I'm reporting W for XYZ. X happened here (2-3 sentences of how they broke that rule), Y happened here (2-3 sentences of how they broke that rule), etc. This would streamline and leave it a little less daunting IMO. Some of the reports, 80% - it's a story of what happened, and yes, we can read and nitpick and stare inbetween the words to try and figure out what - but it would just be easier if you guys spelt it out with as few sentences as possible. IFM sort of works this way in their reports.
Make it really strict. 100 words, anything over is a close of the report and you can't report for that situation again. If they argue, close it. If there's no evidence where there could be, close it.

Is there a way to actually enforce the word limit on forum reports somehow via script rather than relying on people to not go beyond it, like literally make it so they can't type more than 500 words? I feel as though this would help drastically. I can't imagine how discouraged admins must feel when they click to view a player report and come across essays after essays that could easily be simmered down, so to some extent I can understand why some admins simply don't bother with forum reports.
Reduce the word count to 100. Any reports > the word count? Close it, tell them to respect the rules if they want to make a complaint. If you can't summarize it into the word count, nobody wants to read it anyway.
Any reports with no evidence? Close it. Should've shadowplayed it. If it's a case of an offline issue where there are clearly logs, that's a different matter.
Reporter argues on the report? Close it. Tell them to respect the rules.
Reported party argues on the report? Admin jail them.
Harsh and firm solutions to people not following the rules and forum reports will quickly become way more manageable to handle.

If the scripts are the same, does it mean configs between the two will be the same? What I had in mind weapon damage - the nature of LC may give rise to a different approach to weapons etc so could weapon damage be adjusted per server as and when or is it constant between the two?
Same with vehicle mods etc?

There's a whole host of funky ragemp logic that goes on behind shark spawning - I know for a fact LSPD's UDU has some research into it based on the yacht and designating it a "hunting zone" icly because the rate/frequency of shark spawns is so much higher there than anywhere else.

Whilst this would be a great idea, what about logging there forum name and such so court proceedings can go ahead?
Considering forum names by and large are linked to your in game account via the UCP, this should be handled automagically.

Detailed Description
Hello.
When somebody is arrested, cops now have to a) get their plea, b) tab out and determine if they're eligible for bail if they plead NG, c) if they are, fine them, d) then release them.
With each of these steps comes an explanation from the cop to the player. Something that you need to tell them every single time to make sure they don't plead the wrong thing or get something wrong. That's a lot of unnecessary typing.
My suggestion is that when someone is /arrestcounty'd, a CEF screen pops up that says: Select your plea with an explanation of the different types of pleas. This then does a discord bot whoodingy to the JSA discord to tell them hey someone's been arrested NG here's their forum name and they've bailed/not bailed.
Relevant Commands/Items
CEF page for plea, CEF page for bail yes/no (where applicable)
Discord bot integration w/ JSA discord server (already exists for G6?)
Wireframes:
How will it benefit the server?
Cops won't have to type out the same lines every time they arrest and the post-arrest process is streamlined to reduce paperwork.

Detailed Description
The SMG (aka the R* version of an MP5) is terrible. It does less damage than pistols, doing 16 to the body at anything past 12 metres. I think pistols do 36.
The SMG is a very versatile weapon and has many uses - from police K9, Sheriff's OSS, SWAT in CQB situations just to name a few. It's a shame that nobody uses it and nobody has used it for 2 years because it's terrible.
Alternatively, if for whatever reason, it can't be added, why not add https://www.gta5-mods.com/weapons/h-k-mp5 and give it the 10mm calibre so it can have custom damage? I know 10mm isn't a very common calibre since the SAS stopped using the MP5 in the 80s/90s but it'd provide a fix to allow the actual use of an SMG in the mean time.
I made a new thread because for some reason my old one was archived and searching tells me there's no other threads asking to buff the SMG damage.
Relevant Commands/Items
As far as I know this is a quick fix in game with the new damage system.
How will it benefit the server?
More weapons. More roleplay around those firearms.

This is awesome, a little adjusting of the aim animation and it's perfect as long as the shield actually blocks bullets.
+1 👍🏿
Shield does block bullets. That was a simple proof of concept that took about an hour to make. I’m sure the modding and development team can make theirs look way better.

This could be good but I have a feeling it's going to be a abused and misused. It has my support though.
This is unlikely to be abused as tactical situations involve supervisors, admins, and people within legal factions who can enforce quality control. Any abuse would almost certainly be stamped out before it could have any impact.

Create and implement custom animations for the position of attention, parade rest and standing at ease so people don't have to keep doing /anim handcuff. It looks stupid.
Relevant Commands/Items
/anim attention / paraderest / atease
How will it benefit the server?
More immersive animations and stops officers looking like they've just been arrested by IA.

Just because "this is the internet" doesn't mean that people should be allowed to post whatever they want free of any consequences. If your entire server personality (forum and discord) has racist undertones, it's a strong bet there's something more going on there.

The amount of people like that existing on GtaW is truly shocking.
Isn't it the same with Nazi RPers? Wasn't there a scandal a few years ago where it turned out a group of people roleplaying Nazis with aryan brotherhood discord and forum profile pictures were actually massive racists OOCly?

Wouldn't work. The majority of factions get so much radio traffic that it'd either be spam or nigh incomprehensible.

+1 would make things easier especially if you use all 20 slots

And to prove it's possible: https://streamable.com/ikb58y
(very very rough draft, rotation is funky and the animation isn't perfect, but the core concept is there)
More non-lethal weapons for LSPD/ CQB in-game scripts for LSPD SWAT and CEB

Unfortunately the smoke doesn't actually do anything other than obstruct vision - and it's not perfectly synced either. I tried testing ideas with @Sam2 a few months ago and we couldn't find a way to turn the smoke grenade launcher into something viable.
