It is too easy for some exasperated person to, after dying in-game or having some other event slight their massive ego, make false claims against another in the court of law. And what is the accused to do about this? Spend his or her valuable time writing out a response to these baseless accusations, and often this is in vain because reasoning with unreasonable people is like giving medicine to the dead. This is a victory in itself for the accuser, as they can demonstrate their superiority by forcing them to waste their most precious resource: their time. It is obviously a problem here; and I am sure many of you good citizens of this World have been affronted by such a moron. What recourse do you have? Winning? The hope that the admin - a judge, jury, and executioner in their own right - sees through these cretins' blatant ploys? I have a solution. In ancient Athens, those who brought senseless cases before the Court were "fined a thousand drachmas for not receiving a fifth of the votes" (this proves the eternal nature of this legal problem). Today, such individuals are ordered to pay the legal fees of their accused. I say we institute a form of punishment! 5 mins in the admin jail, with this openly declared - a public humiliation of sorts? $10,000 fine? You decide the solution to this massive problem.

As a person who has some sort of eye problems IRL (which is a real pain in the ass) It would be nice to add an option to enable the Dark Mode on our mobile device, by going to the "Settings" menu on our phone and enable it, like we do with the Lock Code. It would be really useful for texting (reading + typing) and for browsing the weather/call history or your contacts. This option should be added as soon as possible, don't think it's hard to create something like this! Anyways, thank you!

tl;dr An official .gta.world tool for all factions to use in order to generate I posted this on the SD forums but was directed to post it here, since it's more of an official, server-wide project than a faction-specific one. I and many others would like to see some sort of official website or hub to aid us with filing the paperwork required by most (if not all) of the legal factions. Each of these factions has some sort of administrative forum work, some more than others, that we're all required to do in order to keep everything organized and up-and-running and it would be nice to have an official and dynamic system in place. This is why I believe this to not only be extremely relevant and important but also urgent. I have put together a sketch of what the website could look like. I think that an experienced web developer (and we have a bunch) can do this in a short matter of time. It doesn't have to be anything fancy as it can be updated regularly, in time. The system would be similar to the MDC. A simple, straight-forward explanation of the functionality: User enters their badge number and UCP password, then they're taken to their faction's page. If they're in multiple factions, to a screen where they can choose. On their faction's page, they select the category/division and are taken to the relevant forms. They select one of them, fill in the form and generate the either the BBCode or HTML (for the MDC) - something set by the form's creator. They then post it on the forum or on the MDC. We currently have some tools but none of them are official. One which was has been discontinued, as far as I know, and was seriously lacking (only ~3-4 functions). For SD only, there's a ton of different unofficial websites and tools made by kind people but it's hard to keep track, neither of them are official and if something happens and they go down, we're left to filling the BBCode or HTML in ourselves (in some cases it's fine but in others, trust me, it's not). The tool would be dynamic. Forms will be added, removed and modified directly by the factions themselves, without needing a web developer to do so (like our current versions). There would be 3 roles. User (default), moderator (can add divisions and forms within those divisions - supervisors within each faction) and administrators (faction leaders, staff members - they add the moderators and can see everything). The website would save the form's contents (to prevent accidentally closing the browser and losing everything) and the only way to clear it would be by clicking the 'Clear' button. It would automatically-fill the static details (Name, Badge number, date and time etc.). Why? Besides the reasons above, which are current and urgent, we have to look towards the future. The server was almost empty, undeveloped and sometimes unplayable a few years ago. Right now, there's 780 players online at the same time. Factions are numerous, developing and branching out continuously. This tool will not only be useful now but will adapt together with the server. Otherwise we'll (inevitably) reach a point when it will be overwhelming to keep track of everything. How? The tool would work similar to BBCode.rip (for who is familiar). The moderator posts the BBCode, links the form's fields to their place in the BBCode and that's how it would be filled. That also makes it dynamic (since different forums use different codes and such) and it's also fairly easy. For the HTML formats, it would work just like the MDC panel. Some screens I made on the go. Please don't bash my clear lack of talent.
