That as well is a good point. It's relatively easy to type up a nicely looking thread from a burner forum account and put it in. When any concerns or reports are directed, IFM can just say "well we vetted this faction and there's nothing wrong here". This wasn't a thing in the past, as pretty much anyone could post a faction thread and whether the faction was kept around was based rather on the merits of roleplay quality, rather than whether they're good at forum bureaucracy or not.

That isn't the missing puzzle at all. Hate to be that guy but I'll just say what everyone's thinking but they're too afraid of speaking up. You wanna know what's the missing puzzle? Good roleplay. Look at the illegal scene in 2021 and early 2022 versus now. Was the roleplay quality any better? Not necessarily; there was plenty good factions open, but most were mid anyway. What made roleplay fun was the activity, you could go pretty much anywhere in SC and run into people. Currently the entire south central feels like a ghost town at peak, unless you go in game at very specific times. There's too much insight, yet it leads to physically nothing. Do you know what a typical timespan of a faction looks like these days? Two or three weeks at most, try and figure out where the longevity comes from. You spend a week preparing the thread, researching the concept you wanna portray, another few days waiting on your group to get approved. You roleplay for a week, do passive roleplay, sure, get some screenshots going. You wanna hit a lick? Well, you can't. The rules make it impossible now. You wanna beef another faction? Well, chances are they're absolute idiots and don't know how to develop realistic beef and the "war" will turn into one of the following: a) brawls back to back, literally making it impossible for yourself or your faction members to have any meaningful roleplay without getting into a brawl; b) shootings back to back, until either of the rosters is full of PK'd names; c) they're crybabies and any attempt at interaction ends up with a forum report lasting 3 weeks and bringing nothing of essence other than an ajail for a petty offense on either end, or a void of the situation. You wanna get supplier and obtain a steady source of firearms and drugs for your faction to keep generating roleplay? Well, go type up 20 applications if the supplier applications are even open at the moment. Assuming you do get one, have fun doing anything with 10 guns a month in a 30 man faction. You wanna get a scheme? Well, those are closed or you simply cannot get one because you haven't racked up 40 hours on your character. You wanna rob a house? Well, you can use /robhouse and come up 10K at most. /breakin isn't a feasible alternative. You wanna get a property to facilitate roleplay for your faction? Have fun jumping through hoops and arguing with PM/IFM why it's realistic for your 16 old character to "own" a traphouse. Assuming you don't run into any of the issues, you might actually have a chance to have fun roleplaying a gang, otherwise it simply isn't fun. IFM needs to wake up and listen to the community. The server has to stop catering to people who don't have any idea what they're roleplaying.

I feel like the current amount of bickering & so constant pointless reporting over every slightest thing by people who seemingly have little to no understanding of LA gang politics, illegal rp has become very stale and simply isn't a fun field of roleplay. Most of the unofficial groups on the servers are rather subpar. IFM has to get rid of the ridiculous limitation and allow people to enjoy illegal rp to the fullest degree again. Stop entertaining petty reports, stop the entire "illegal v legal" bs, penalize people for piss poor portrayal of LA hood politics, get rid of the application process on groups & rather punish and close down trash factions, instead of punishing quality roleplayers and making them jump through hoops. This thread exactly goes to show the current terrible state of illegal roleplay on the server. Illegal rp has been dominated by people who don't understand how modern day gangs operate, and the line between what's realistic and what isn't has been completely blurred.

Could just add a vetting process through UCP or IFM?

Boundaries are there to be crossed, especially on our server. The entire SC is like what 10 blocks? Kinda hard not to step foot in someones hood anyway.

Fuck crabz
