Detailed Suggestion:
Probably been suggested before, but these should be people within the community, with experience playing a mixture of Cop/Crim/NHS/G6, preferably not staff - (just to keep roles separated) who are considered the "voice" of the community.
They would give feedback on the city on areas of server balance and potential new dev requests to improve everyone's enjoyment of the game.
Whilst RPUK is a serious RP server, it does feel sometimes in my own experience, there are arguments or falling outs over realism vs enjoyment (from a game perspective) and a role within the community, not looking at whether or not a rule has been violated, but constructively providing feedback to the management team could help restore confidence and faith from those feeling hard done by.
The current situation as it is, does not work. Crims say one thing, devs change something, cops counter it, devs change it back. It's great that there is an appetite to improve things, but there's got to be a better use of dev time rather than the current flip-flop tit for tat "server balance" arguments that see the city going around in circles.
I think having the opportunity to nominate people to be our voice, who have direct contact with management/devs, with no staff background, might be the way forward.
Happy for others to pitch in and build on this idea if they so wish.
The Pros:
The Cons:
None from a community perspective... perhaps more time having your ears chewed off if you're in the management/dev teams (sorry!)
Does this suggestion change balance on the server ?
Hopefully only for the better!

The Pros:
- Community feels they are represented.
- Voices are heard at a senior level.
- Restores confidence in those in charge, by others who may feel disenfranchised at present.
- Increased accountability.
The Cons:
None from a community perspective... perhaps more time having your ears chewed off if you're in the management/dev teams (sorry!)
