TOPIC: [Suggestion] Give Admins chat logs access!

~Server Name: SSRP

Suggestion Title: Give admins chat logs

How would it benefit the server: Would help alot in sits. It's crazy how you guys don't give chat logs access to Administrators. Arent they supposed to be trusted in the Community if they are admins? Just now there was a cheater on SSRP aimbotting everyone and he admitted it in chat but when the Administrator came on he couldn't help us since he didn't have chat logs and none of us were recording.

Potential Issues/Exploits: This is just pretty stupid that Community Manager has it only when Administrators are supposed to be trusted with the given rank and permissions since they already can ban people.

Additional notes: Add this.

Chat logs aren't needed as you can take a screenshot, scroll up from the chat and just screenshot no need to record.

how about they add damage logs...

Would be 100x faster if Administrators had chat logs and why wouldn't they have it? They are supposed to be trusted member thats why they have the rank.

It's not related to trust, but the fact that there aren't currently in-game chat logs. Community Team members have to get chat logs directly from the server logs.

Why would you even write anything private in the server if someone can see it

It wouldn’t matter if a player admitted to cheating to a moderator or admin since they aren’t LT and can’t punish based off of that information. All they can do is report it to a higher authority!

LMFAO I don't think anyone would post private information that they don't want posted in a server.

i still think they should prioritise damage logs over chat logs

Kronen wrote: Yeah true. Hard to punish someone for attempted RDM when no one submitted any proof and i can't see if they were even damaged

Kronen wrote:
Yeah I agree on that.

Damage logs are useless, take up memory and cause lag. It won't happen...

How exactly are they useless?

Player A: he tried to shoot me but missed, i felt threatened, he tried to arrest me.

Most users who make reports either record and have proof readily available, I have been staff most of my time in the community and haven't though once "damage logs would be really helpful". Because they wouldn't be.

This has been over time and time again, I'm sure everyone that has been staff has heard an angry kid complain about there not being damage logs because he got shot. There is no use for them due to how much memory it would take, it's an non essential thing as it's so easy to shadow play, or whatever the AMD version of it is anyways.

Still people with shit PCs cant always record gmod with good fps since it eats their CPU and then its shit for them since theres no point of them even making a report.

Not easy when you have a bad PC.

Also damage logs don't prove that a person wasn't provoked and had an RP reason to kill someone do they?

Nafe wrote:
Well everything you say may or may not happen in a sit, its not 100% sure that the person was provoked or not and the outcome is always different depending on what they say in the sit. But the damage log will always help in the end.
