But can you agree with me that my concern is that there is still a mod out there that should of been demoted but didn't even got a warning yet?

Doesn't really matter if someone's late to the party or not. What matters is that they enjoy it.

I know you guys will do what's best for the server. I wish you the absolute best of luck with it all.

Couldn't have said it better myself... At least you know about this mod and are going to be doing something about them! Again I just want to thank you all for doing this, late is better than never!

I like the aggression and attitude to fix it all, but like Morgan and Sora have said, these last few weeks have been evidence of us on the path to correcting the wrongs. We've had more LT demoted than any recent time, multiple full/minor demotions, and tons of official warnings. We've put out a complete revision of the rules as well. It is easy to go out and say you're tired of this and rile up people, but it is completely dismissive of the work we've done. Here's to hoping we achieve even more with you being back and ready to act.

Good. This meeting will be fun. I will make sure those mods/admins will Get punished the same week instead of way later tho. Really don't want people like that in the staff team. Just put the thread here since Nobody else did and the staff team should really be back to were it was in the Good old days.

Thank u ace I really appritiate this I have notice myself that staff members are slacking off lately something needs to be done and I am glad we can count on u to get it under control.

big up my man hitman jerry

also big up to the lads sora, chummy, ace, and morgan for sorting shit out

Well, I know I'm doing good, I've been working a lot harder than I used to... I'm already doing over 100 F1's per week which is a lot better than me a couple of months ago when I only used to be doing about 40 or 50 F1's... Thanks for the crackdown on staff Ace! We need staff doing F1's as soon as they see them pop up... If they are doing a nuke then fine but if it's just basing then it won't hurt to just do a couple? It's got to a point where there were tons of AFK staff members when there are about 10 F1's and only 2 staff members on to do them... Ace is also right about the good staff members leaving, as when they used to be here it was a lot easier with their great help but because of them leaving it's caused it to become a lot harder now... Looks like we will have to work a lot lot harder now...

Special thanks to all staff members that resigned! You will be missed, a lot!

First of all, hello Ace, I've not been on Zarp for the last 2 months at least, either the servers or the forums. Just came here to take a peak and saw this post. Then I went into the Staff List.
I was a moderator of SSRP and according to the list I still am. I've not done a single F1 for the last 2-3 months or even joined Garrys Mod at all, so if you have the time, please strip me of the rank and respective powers.
That should be a start, getting rid of all moderators/admins that slack off with the F1s. You should be able to clear half of them.
(That was not my case, while I was in Zarp I did my best to help the players, I just left the server)

Good luck!

But on SSRP there are quite a few issues. Firstly, all staff are spread over three servers. Secondly, there's a shitton of them. And thirdly, not all of them are often on Teamspeak or aware of how commonly used it is.

Besides that, whilst other server have an in-game staff list, SSRP is lacking in that regard. This means that a lot of users, but definitely also some staff, are completely unaware of who exactly is in the Lead Team and what would be the best way to contact them.

Because of this, there's a clear border between users and staff. Such a border exists on each server, but on SSRP where communicating with staff is lacking (whilst on other servers you can make complaints using Admin Chat, on SSRP you need to make an F1 that could take forever to get handled at bad times) the border is so thick that people can no longer see on the other side of the wall.

Clarity is key if users want to understand the going-ons in the staff team. A lot of users, and even staff themselves, will be quickly irritated when things don't go the way they want to.

When people don't know or understand what the Lead Team does for them, they'll say that the Lead Team does nothing. When people see things happen that they don't agree with, they'll shout corruption and hypocrisy (and the ironic thing is how hypocritical they're being themselves at that moment).

Meanwhile the Lead Team doesn't explain its actions properly. There are multiple reasons for this, mainly though that they don't feel the need to explain themselves. Why explain to each user every 5 seconds why staff member X has or hasn't been demoted? In a lot of cases, as others vote as well, you can't even tell them why because of the meeting agreement.

Because the Lead Team doesn't explain itself people feel ignored, abandoned and eventually pretty fucking pissed off. And it has seemingly reached a point where the SSRP Lead Team as a whole fails to co-operate and is unsure abut the state of the staff team.

Such a state is never a good point to reach, as teamwork is essential in the staff team and especially the Lead Team. The moment that a Lead Team member feels like they can no longer trust his fellow staff to do their job properly is the moment that the Lead Team begins to fracture. And then the users will feel the consequenses of that.

However, I do feel like the SSRP Lead Team is pulling itself together. They've become more strict, which some users dislike, but they're still growing and doing their best. Things don't change overnight - some changes will take longer, also for the staff to adapt to.

TL;DR I believe the SSRP Lead Team is going down a good, strong path. Clarity between users and staff is always lacking everywhere in the community, and although I do believe the Lead Team could communicate some things a little better I also think they're already going down that path themselves.

Sorry for this long rant, hopefully I didn't scare anyone off lol
