To you, maybe. if that's all you can bring yourself to get out of a robbery scene because you're not happy with being robbed, then that's all on you.

Reactions to posts mean nothing in the grand scheme of things, no need to make things more complex.

such a stupid reason for a punishment lmfaoo, the amount of people out there who've been shot dead or stabbed for trying to fight someone is insane. i'm convinced that some of the people who come up with these rules, as you've said, either lack any sort of street smarts, or just haven't experienced the reality of criminal activity. There's 0 rules in a street fight, and there's no honor in the streets anymore, very few people, especially not gang members, are willing to fight. Plus if you pull a screwdriver on somebody, you should expect to be shot. Hell, pull a screwdriver on me IRL, and even I, a non gang member, would shoot you if I had a gun too. They don't, and to make matters worse, unfortunately, most people on this server get their information from r/calibanging (a very inaccurate source fyi), streetgangs.com interviews (also very inaccurate sources), movies, and rap videos. I could bring up so many indictments, court papers, and other examples that show that criminals often travel outside of their neighborhoods to commit their robberies, especially if they're in one of the many Los Angeles gang neighborhoods that border affluent neighborhoods, which in GTAW's case, many gang neighborhoods do.

mate it's supposed to be a punishment not a chore, wtf kinda idea is this, no offense LMAO.

+1 as others have said, nobody but staff should be allowed to withhold evidence. Either you post the evidence, or you don't post the report.

I beg to differ, I don't believe it's abused at all.

personally i dont see what's realistic about having to catch a taxi back to the area u logged off at hours before just because u accidentally spawned at ur house, how'd ur char get to hishouse, but his car is on the other side of the city? did he walk? not to mention that your average taxi ride, if you roleplay interacting with the driver, costs upwards of 1k, and fuck that. I'm not wasting 1k when I can just get my car tped to the location it'd realistically be at instead.

untrue.

We're just gonna have to agree to disagree then man because in my opinion, admin discretion should never be a thing.

Admin perceptions of how much disruption a scenario caused other players often vary, with some admins believing that the rule break did less damage than it did. Even if the player's actions made an entire faction log off and stop RPing for the day/afternoon, often they still decide to be lenient, which is why I stick by my statement about a need for set punishments, and that admin discretion should never be a thing. Unless there are set punishments that admins are strictly required to mete out, I guarantee that nothing will change.

This is why Nervous & Management need to come up with specific punishments for each rule that admins are required to stick to instead of leaving it to an admin's discretion, because like I've already said, admins' opinions aren't always correct. You can't report an admin for following orders from management, and if u do, ur stupid. For example. If someone power-games, regardless of severity, they should be ajailed for a specific amount of time. If someone deathmatches, ajail for the first offense, ban on the second. Sexualize a minor char? Ban regardless of severity. I could continue outlining what I'm talking about, but I'm sure you know what I mean. I could show u countless reports where the player (legal or illegal) absolutely should have been punished but were instead warned. But unfortunately, I cannot do that publicly because I'd rather not start arguments with any of the players the reports were about.

yeah the toxicity and petty reports are both things that need to stop no doubt. I only ever report people if they've completely ruined my in-game experience, and usually, that has nothing to do with a faction conflict and more to do with trash roleplay in general.

Personally, I disagree. Verbal/written warnings shouldn't even be a factor with the amount of rulebreaking that goes on on a daily basis. Their warning should be 30+ minutes in ajail.
