Topinambour Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 44 minutes ago, PeopleKind said: I'm all for allowing it as long as we force people to write properly. The spam of "young female looking 4 work" bullshit is a no no Basically this, yeah. The infamous "21 year old Italian looking for a job" is a problem because is contains zero useful information to start any RP :x Quite a few jobs don't care you're 21, nobody gives a single shit you're Italian, and "looking for a job", ok but what goddamn job? 😛 Same goes for "young female looking 4 work" and all. Enforcing looking for job ads so they contain useful information may help. Not even making long ads - something like "Experienced bar manager looking for new gig in LS - bar or club". It's not an essay but you know the person's experienced, is looking for a management position, in LS specifically, and is interested in bar or clubs. I know a few owners who'd call that pretty quickly lol, given how hard it can be to find reliable managers ^^ Link to comment
Triple Seven Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 If the standard is set higher and someone wants to ad: "looking for a job in the adult entertainment industry" or "looking for a job at an italian restaurant" there would be nothing wrong with that. I think it's the unnecessary information in ads (Italian man, young female) and obvious rule lawyering by a minority (ab)using it, that's caused this to be disallowed even though an ad system would realistically be used by people looking for a job.

Narco Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 No thank you, that is basically the entire purpose for this section here https://forum.gta.world/en/forum/65-job-offers/ Unless someone runs their own business, then they can post an ad with their contracting company etc. Nobody in real life posts on craigslist or any other boards looking for work, rather offering a specific service.

Not just "25 year old female looking for work" I'm 100% sure you can find those too, but that's not relevant, as our environment doesn't facilitate for people looking for specific jobs (and that's okay). Thing is, we don't have a ruling for what /ad should be role-played as, so it is being role-played as anything from a craigslist equivalent to Linkedin, newspapers and flyers. Yes, we have that sub-forum and I do personally use it from time to time, but most people don't - especially new players, who are also usually the ones who advertise being for hire. You can advertise offering a specific service, but that would usually require you to have some sort of background or experience in that. If someone's main goal is to not die of starvation, they'll do any work in exchange of money - usually low-skilled jobs, which is what these ads are about. I do agree that some minimum effort has to be put into the ads, though, and that should be reflected in the rules - "20 year old italian, need a job" is obviously not good enough. After all, all they're trying to do is role-play and to provide role-play and we shouldn't be restricting them from doing so. Link to comment
pateuvasiliu Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 I miss seeing ads looking for an uber driver and engaging in some late night RP with complete strangers. Doing away with that has hurt the spontaneity of my RP a lot. Link to comment

Timzii Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Doesn't hurt anyone, add some regulations as in what needs to be included in the looking for work add and you'll be fine. Link to comment
Cypher99 Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 (edited) We can't post an ad for a late night uber or trying to look for work, but we can certainly have this: Makes sense. Edited January 23, 2022 by Cypher99 Link to comment
