1. Witchhunting Reporting/Punishments
If multiple staff members can agree that a player is being witchhunted, why does the player need to provide a litany of evidence that amounts to a class 2 warn that means nothing?
If a player is being harassed to the point where they need to report it, it becomes more of a problem than an RDM because it's a constant issue, so it should be at least a class III. It is simply not a good and fair system to players that are being constantly harassed.
2. Player Advert Warns
This system is completely broken. I have been warned for rdm for warning a player and stepping forward the width of a sidewalk because i was "chasing the player". Another issue with this is if a player is going to places that you are also going to. If they do that, and you warn them, both using adverts and verbally, it is still considered RDM. This is another unfair system that is ripe for abuse and I've had multiple 'bullshit' warns over it. I've even had instances where the player saw my warns but because they turned their mouse so that their back was facing towards me, I wasn't "notifying the player" and was warned for RDM.
3. Sit Baiting
Sit baiters are people who try to find any little thing to report a player on, to the point of harassment. They also intentionally bait a player into breaking the rules by abusing technicalities like the shove not being damage (despite being used to damage players by pushing them off ledges or harassing them), or abusing the terrible player advert warn system on this server (That never seems to work in the player's favor). If the admins know that a player is actively harassing the entire server or specific players on the server with sits, this should be a warnable offense.
4. Blacklist Reason Communication
If a player is blacklisted, the only way to appeal it is to know what you did. If you're blacklisted, that information isn't shown anywhere. You have to ask management. I spent almost a month trying to figure out why I was blacklisted from the server, but was ignored by both Noob and Wilkers, despite messages on the forums, and messages on Discord. This information shouldn't be held like a secret so that players that have had unfair blacklists can dispute them quickly.
5. Attempted RDM should not be considered RDM
Sit baiters use this to get people warned for class 3 RDM despite only being shot once and not killed. If you're going to punish people for accidentally hitting the wrong person during a gunfight, it shouldn't be a class 3 warn. It's unfair. This wasn't a rule until recently and it's completely bullshit. You try getting into a gunfight by PD without accidentally shooting someone with over 100 players on the server. Try it.
6. Unraidable Bases Due To Party Sizes
Bases are completely unraidable on server 2 because there are just so many players in one base. It's completely unfair to expect a solo raider to be able to raid a base with 15 people in it. It's borderline impossible, even with a bad base design. If the size of the attacking party is also a problem, then limit the size of a raiding party too. But you cannot reasonably expect even a god tier player to be able to take down 15 player defended bases with armor and healing vapes.
7. Player Reports Are Not Private
If a player reports someone, that should be between them and the staff. Having it be public leads to witchhunting, and it's happened to me. I report a player, and he and his friends see it, then I get witchhunted. It should not be that way.
8. Reports on Cheating Players
I don't understand how a player is supposed to provide evidence of someone hacking. Unless you're able to hack into their PC and inspect their files, or are able to see damage logs, it is impossible to provide proof of cheats. I reported a player for this and my ticket was closed because of a lack of evidence. How the hell is anyone supposed to provide evidence of that?
9. Hitboxes on CCs
Every CC has a ridiculously large hitbox. I understand that this is to prevent playermodel hitbox abuse, but isn't that why there are rules on custom CCs to begin with? It is completely unviable to use a CC because you can be shot from the width of a car despite having a citizen sized playermodel.
10. New Players on Kidnapper
New players often don't know the rules on the server and are instantly given access to kidnapper. This results in constant instances of kidnap spam, and surprise kidnaps. This class should only be accessible after 12 hours of play, like Adv Dupe 2.
11. Street Builds Near Fountain
Coming out into Plaza on this map is awful. The streets are completely filled up with KOS on props builds all over the streets making the map a hassle to traverse. This should be reworked in some way to prevent abuse.
I hope at least some of these issues get addressed.
