The trash talk needs to stop

I am posting this message based on being in different TS channels with different people on the server. The intent of the post is not to single anyone out, not to embarrass anyone, and no names will be mentioned.

I am tired of hearing the following comments
"The police powergame and metagame"
"The police fail RP"
"Theres no point to report him, the admins aren't processing ban requests."
"Why report the cop, the PCC is useless anyway"
"They aren't filling comp requests its a waste of time."
"The mentor's do not help."
"The gang are nothing but twats and RDMers"

Out of these comments the two that make me angry are unfounded complaints about the police and mentors. I take them personally because we bust our asses off to make your in gameplay more enjoyable. We try our hardest to roleplay to protect you, and yet when there are complaints about cops power gaming, I request people to tell me what happened or give evidence and all I get is "Don't have time to tell you" "I don't record."

When someone who is willing to listen asks you what happens, and you don't want to speak with them, it shows deception or just ignorance. 

SI Walt and SI Bob bust their butts off to take the time out of their gaming experience and lives to investigate complaints on a video gaming server. If you have legtimate evidence, tried to sort it out with the officer, and still haven't resolved it, please post in the PCC. 

As far as gangs goes, most of the established gangs are established for a reason. Ok I get it if you get mad at a gang for robbing you, or ruining your drug run. But if you have an issue with a gang member doing something wrong, talk to the gang leadership.

The mentor comment really hurt to home because most of the time we mediate issues between community members and have to listen to a screaming match at times worse than a divorce mediator goes through. Not to mention the mentors I know who have spent their hard earned in-game money to assist newer players with learning the game, and do not get compensated for that. If you do not think a mentor is doing his/her job, please talk to them. Still think talking isn't working, please contact Robert our Lead Mentor.

And the admins, the admins who work their butts off trying to make a server you enjoy. They do this on their own time, and do not get paid for it. They have lives as well, and want to play video games as well. Just because it does not get done right away, doesn't mean it wont get looked at and sorted.

Yet I hear these comments, I wonder if the person making the comments has the bravery to tell this to an admin's face.

In a nutshell, this is a great community, probably one of the best in the world, which is why you find Americans playing on it. You want to make it better, help the community, don't hurt it with words. The problem is everyone is quick to use words, but isn't quick to try and resolve it with communication

Again no names will be mentioned, and this post is not targeted against any specific group.

Thank you.
 

 
I ran out of likes so I can't like this epic post, although there is one type of comments you didn't include is the comments complaining about the NHS

 
I felt like answering some of the "comments" you put up in your post.
All of it is answered from personal experience.

I just felt like some of the "comments" needed a comment ;)

"The police powergame and metagame" 

Yes, they powergame, but if a person is strong enough in his RP, he can get out of the situation, and if the cop is being a dick about, you have the PCC.
Only times I've come across a cop metagaming, it's been an honest mistake and people will let them know. But most of the time, they have the ANPR or license check in order to get your name."The police fail RP"

Everyone does at some point?"Theres no point to report him, the admins aren't processing ban requests."

lol"Why report the cop, the PCC is useless anyway"

From a "civilian" POV, I'd agree, it seems useless... - But it isn't if you got evidence, they will talk internally, and deal with it, the public probably wont hear about it though...
But if you haven't got evidence, from what I've seen, they just disregard the complaint. Sometimes the complaints are rather stupid and unnecessary, but some reports are just about a cop saying or doing something stupid. Do you really need a video showing that? Nope, talk to the person and explain that no matter if they did it or not, they shouldn't do it. "They aren't filling comp requests its a waste of time."

They will, gets done at least once a week, I believe?"The mentor's do not help."

If they have the time, they will, if they can, they will?"The gang are nothing but twats and RDMers"

The point of most gangs, are to simulate criminal groups, and I have never heard of any nice stories regarding those? So yes, they are twats.
You could also get to know them, most gangs are nice to people they know.

Don't blame entire gangs on RDM'ing, it's just stupid, would be the same as saying the entire police sucks because of one guy.
If you are RDM'ed by someone, report the person who killed you, and only blame that one guy, no reason to "blacklist" his entire gang.

 
Another is complaining about the time the NHS take to respond. They are so fucking busy and all people do is moan in TS and side. If they're that bad go join them and help!

Police Powergaming

I've had my police holiday this week, and to be perfectly honest, 90% of encounters have been bad. Not going to list them here but if you have an issue take it to the higher ups, they will investigate and punish them. It can be frustrating but it will work.

 
Very well put TheSoldier and I greatly appreciate you defending myself and SI Bob as well as the other members of the Community who were somewhat targeted in those comments. I can honestly say it is people like you who make this Community what it is, and it is sad to say that you are becoming a rarity nowadays...people used to be laid back, be here for the RP and talk about their issues...now everyone plays this bullshit political game...Holding evidence back with the pure intention of using it as leverage...Immediately trying to get a person banned rather than talking it out...complaining to others about stuff without ever attempting to talk to someone who can do something about it...

I heard recently that the relationship between Cops and Rebels has never been worse...and there's such a lack of trust in each others ability to RP and shit that they just go in ready for a gunfight with their cameras rolling...and now it seems people just bottle up issues and moan...Be nice when it all ends

 
Your not the only one who have written like this, these posts keep popping up every now and then.

There is no solution, just keep on playing and do your best.

 
You are beautiful.

Although I am not in the Police or NHS, I have had experiences of these kind of complaints from many people, not necessarily directed at myself or my friends/gang members from previous gangs, however it is extremely pathetic and ignorant in the fact that the people complaining have no idea how much effort it takes to keep a community this large and well running at such a high standard, to say things such as admins never process comp requests and what not, I understand the frustration guys, I mean there's a few comps in there unreplied to (including mine haha) and I know it's frustrating but guys, just go out and do another run, if it's that serious amount of money, the admins will have had it sorted.

Basically, have patience, and be thankful, take a look around, places and people like this don't come around often, especially in the same community.

Rant over haha
