Hello @everyone , and happy holidays! It's just turned Christmas Eve here in the UK, and we'd like to give a big thank you to all of those in the staff team who've made the past year possible. It's been a really tough year and this much has been evident. We've lost CG DarkRP over the last 12 months, but we've also gained SCP-RP, and with S&Box's release date getting closer we're edging even closer to expanding out into additional areas. There's 101 reasons to say thank you this year, whether it's for grafting and holding down the fort whilst staff numbers were low, to whether you were one of the new "OGs" who've made sure that the launch of SCP was successful, or whether you've just cracked on and made the difference that every single one of us wanted to when we all applied (I'm pretty sure I could pick any moderator application, my own included, and we all said we wanted to do this). I like to think we do an okay job of letting people know when they've aced it, but given that it's Christmas eve I think a little more is in order. Anyway, if my calculations are correct, we have 55 staff members across our servers, though given that I'm currently writing this from a laptop my count may have been wrong. To say thank you to you all for all the reasons I listed above, we're going to be giving everybody an additional 1000 VPoints. (You shouldn't have to contact senior staff for this manually, it should all be automatic and happening relatively soon) Thank you everybody for all your hard work, and here's to a strong 2022

Updated Meeting Schedule [@everyone] Hello all, hope you had an excellent New Years. We have decided to alter our staff meeting schedule. Staff meetings will still occur every Sunday, but at the following times: Global Leadership Meeting 5.15pm GMT Joint meeting for all Network Leadership & Server Leadership Server Leadership Meetings 5.30pm GMT Server-specific meetings for each Server Leadership team Server Staff Meetings 6.00pm GMT Server-specific meetings for each Server Staff team Feel free to ask if there are any questions.

Staff Handbook Changes [@everyone] Version 1.3 of the Staff Handbook has the following edits: [Section 2] Clarified that time prerequisites can be bypassed with Server Manager or Network Leadership approval, [Section 2-A] Mod -> Senior Mod time prerequisite lowered from 4 -> 2 weeks, [Section 2-B] Admin -> Senior Admin time prerequisite lowered from 10 -> 8 weeks, [Section 2-B] Senior Admin -> Super Admin time prerequisite lowered from 12 -> 10 weeks, [Section 2-B] Updated Server Manager description to better reflect expectations. We believe the previous time prerequisites were too long for what are intended to be "bare minimums", and we've also added clarification that these can be bypassed when considered necessary for a server's health. We've also tweaked the Server Manager description to better reflect what the role does. Thanks everyone! https://docs.google.com/document/d/13g6hdt7mGTzBqgwPQ9iosjNQUORz80atswgoVxwPzyM/edit

@SCP-RP Staff @MRP Staff When you use /spectate you will now notice the bind "F1: Toggle voice listen" with a ON/OFF status and a message about lag. Listening to voice through /spectate is extremely laggy and so we are turning this OFF by default. If you need to listen to voice in /spectate you can press F1 and you will be able to listen (although you will be warned you are causing lag) - please press F1 again to turn this OFF when you are done with it and only use it when necessary, especially at peak playercounts where the most lag occurs. MRP staff, please note that hearing voice in spectate is always disabled during war, this is already the case and has not changed. Toggling your voice listen mode will do nothing when war is active. Thanks all! (edited)

Global Staff Meeting @everyone Hello all, we will be holding a global staff meeting this Sunday due to important changes being made that all staff need to be aware of. This means that the meeting schedule will be significantly altered on Sunday. We are planning for the following meeting schedule, but this is subject to change if necessary: Global Leadership Meeting - 5.30pm - 6.00pm GMT Global Staff Meeting - 6.00pm - 6.30pm GMT ** 15 Minute Break ** Server Leadership Meetings - 6.45pm GMT - 7.00pm GMT Server Staff Meetings - 7.00pm GMT onwards Attendance is compulsory unless you have a reason you cannot attend, in which case you should inform a member of your Server Leadership team and catch up afterwards. Kind regards, Network Leadership (edited)

Server Team Applications @everyone Hello all, we've now opened Server Team Applications, which you can find in the staff section of the forums. Verdicts may be left by members of the relevant Server Team, or any members of Server Leadership, and applications will be accepted or denied by the relevant Team Lead. In addition, we have made a major change to who can apply for them. If you are a @Senior Moderator, you may now apply for a Server Team position at any time (the handbook has been edited to reflect this). We are opening membership up to all staff ranked Senior Moderator+, and you must be a member of a Server Team before you can be promoted to Head Moderator. The plan of it being an automatic promotion when you join a team will be scrapped. This will allow our teams to grow further, and for staff to hopefully get a feel for what they like while they're still Senior Moderators. There won't be any infractions given out to Senior Moderators who fail to perform well enough in their teams (unlike for HMod+), because it is not a requirement to be a member of a Server Team in order to be a Senior Moderator - the worst thing that can happen is that you might be kicked from the team. So don't be afraid to give it a shot! Kind regards, Network Leadership (edited)

Staff Handbook Changes [@everyone] Version 2.1 of the Staff Handbook has the following edits: [Section 2] Changed all time prerequisites for ranks to a flat "Haven’t been promoted within last two weeks" requirement, except for TMod -> Mod We've been finding that we've had to skip these prerequisites too often for them to be worth keeping, so we've gone with a flat minimum of two weeks between promotions. As you should know, this is a minimum, and no-one will be getting promoted this quickly unless there is an exceptional reason for it. Thanks all! https://docs.google.com/document/d/13g6hdt7mGTzBqgwPQ9iosjNQUORz80atswgoVxwPzyM/edit

!jailreturn [@everyone] Hello all, because it can be quite annoying having to manually return players from sit roofs/rooms after their jail time expires, I've written a new command to streamline this process. Starting Saturday, all servers will have the !jailreturn command, which jails a player and automatically returns them after their jail time expires. The command takes the same arguments as the regular jail command, e.g. !jailreturn cloak 10 will jail Cloak for 10s and then return them afterwards. This command is intended for situations where you have teleported a player to a sit roof or sit room, if you haven't teleported the player (e.g. you physgunned them to a roof) you should use !jail instead, else you may return them to an unintended area. Hope you find this command useful. Kind regards, Cloak (edited)

Staff VPoints Giveaway

@everyone Hello gents, I'm sure some of you saw the VPoints giveaway that we performed on SCP-RP USA yesterday. I wouldn't want you guys to feel left out, so we'll be doing a 4000 VPoints giveaway for staff at the end of this week! This will consist of 2000 VPoints being given to 2 lucky staff members. This is a little token of appreciation for all the hard work you guys do

We'll be trying to focus in on recognizing individual staff members who have gone above and beyond over the coming weeks and months, in addition to this giveaway. This giveaway will be drawn randomly from a pool of all staff ranked from Trial Moderator to Senior Administrator, who are staff at the time of this announcement - staff joining after this announcement unfortunately won't be eligible. In addition, you'll need to meet your sits/AOD requirements this week in order to be eligible, unless you are on LOA at the time of this announcement being posted. We'll announce the winners on Sunday - thank you all! Let me know in #network-staff-chat if you have any questions. Kind regards, Cloak (edited)

Racism & Slurs @everyone Hello all, would like to bring people's attention back to this announcement made half a year ago: https://discord.com/channels/577041202684231710/917191481817698314/918890693596946482 As a reminder, noone is permitted to use racial slurs in our TeamSpeak. Being in a donator channel does not give you a free pass. VPoints Giveaway On a separate note, regarding the VPoints giveaway above, I'm currently in the process of collating the list of eligible staff for the draw. Sorry that the drawing has been delayed, but if you met the requirements above, please be assured that you will be included in the draw. Thanks all

@everyone Content Teams File Access Config Meetings Hi everyone, I want to let you all know that starting this week I will dedicate (at least) 1 hour in what I call a "Content team file access meeting". This will allow anyone (but especially the content team), to have me implement any config or file access required changes, such as job changes, minor bug fixes maybe, each week. The purpose of this is to collect a list of things which need to be done during the week, and have me or anyone else with file access apply it during this meeting. This should help reduce the issue we have where small and quick changes go un-implemented for weeks. Please do not expect me to make big time consuming changes during this meeting. This meeting is not mandetory, I will be there, but we do not need to do this if there is nothing to change in a particular week. Anyone from any of our servers is welcome to come to it. This meeting will happen every sunday at 19:30 GMT until 20:30 GMT

Rules on Discord Server Memberships @everyone Hi team. I'm sure some of you will be aware that we have recently had issues with toxic Discord servers. In some cases, this has even extended into CG players having their full name and other information leaked by blacklisted players, while CG staff have been active in these Discord servers at the same time. I've always tried to take a hands-off approach with telling staff who they can and cannot associate with, as my belief is that this should be your own choice for the most part; however, I think this approach has now been proven to have come up short. I'm sorry to have to put this rule into place, but I think that it's a reasonable decision for us to make given recent events. Starting Friday, 3rd June, CG staff members will not be permitted to be a member of Discord servers that are run by persons who are either permanently banned or blacklisted from either a CG server, or the network as a whole. "Run by" means having administrative or owner rights in that server. I won't be extending this rule further at this point in time, but I would encourage you to consider full stop whether you want to be associated with people who are permanently banned or blacklisted from our community. Doing so is a risky path that can easily get you into trouble, or targeted yourself. Kind regards, Cloak (edited)

Teamspeak Permissions Misuse Hi @everyone, As we continue to look to professionalise our community, we want to address some of the recent misuse of permissions on teamspeak that has been happening among the staff team. "Joke" bans or kicks from teamspeak of 1 second, or a few minutes, with joke reasons should not be happening from staff, especially when directed at other staff. Kicking people from your channel is ok if a private channel, although bans/kicks from teamspeak should be reserved for legitimate reasons only, similarly to how you would ban/kick somebody in-game. If you feel like you genuinely need to ban/kick a staff member from teamspeak for a legitimate reason, that staff member should be receiving an infraction for their actions and the situation should be dealt with properly. If anybody continues to issue joke bans or kicks from teamspeak, either directed at players or other staff, they will receive at least a minor infraction for this. As an increasingly large proportion of our playerbase are on teamspeak, staff must be viewing their teamspeak permissions as seriously as they do in-game permissions. If you would not ban a player for 1 second in-game as a joke, you should not be doing it on teamspeak. As we experience a huge influx of new players, we want them to see our community as professionally run, and something they can respect. Joining teamspeak and seeing staff members kicking/banning each other with mingey reasons does not represent a professional community, so we would like this to stop happening. If you have any questions about this, feel free to reach out to me. Thanks, Cope (edited)

@everyone Quick show of hands - I’d like to see who is available for the following staff meeting options: (A) Current staff meeting times (5.15pm Global Leadership, 5.30pm Server Leadership, 6.00pm Server Staff) (B) Moving all staff meetings back by one hour (6.15pm Global Leadership, 6.30pm Server Leadership, 7pm Server Staff) Please react with the following depending on what you can attend: 1️⃣ I can attend A, but not B 2️⃣ I can attend B, but not A 3️⃣ I can attend both A and B 4️⃣ I can attend neither A or B For our staff outside of the U.K., these are U.K. times - currently the timezone is BST. We are considering this change as we have noticed a lot of people are unable to currently attend meetings, and we’d like to see if this would help. Kind regards, Cloak

Staff Privacy @everyone Hello team, It's quite upsetting that I have to send this message, but I'd like to remind you all of the importance of keeping your social media as private as possible. Recently we had a member of one of our Server Leadership teams get doxxed (had real life information leaked), resulting in them having to leave the team. This is not the first time that a member of our staff, SL, or NL teams have been targeted, and it won't be the last - there may also be further attempts in the near future due to the 'success' of this attempt. The higher up you go in the staff team, the more likely it is you will be targeted, but this can happen to any of you and so I'm asking all staff to take the following actions:

Review your Steam and Discord accounts, and remove any identifiable information such as real life names, or linked accounts that reveal information.
Review your social media, and make sure you have your privacy settings set to not be visible from the public - e.g. 'Friends' or 'Friends of Friends' options on Facebook. Use options like 'View as' to see what a public user is able to access.
Be careful with what information you reveal in the CG community - once it gets out there, it's too late to take it back.

Unfortunately, these people are not good people, and they don't understand the repercussions of their actions. I hope that all staff will follow these steps in order to protect themselves - let me know if you have any questions. Please avoid discussing this outside of staff channels, as I don't think it is appropriate for information of this to spread further. Kind regards, Cloak (edited)

@everyone Hi everyone, we currently have a group of leakers causing us some inconvenience, mostly by spamming invites in our Discords and leaking content. It’s not that big a deal, but the fact I can see staff joining that discord and watching is incredibly disappointing. If you are joining in and participating in this, we will consider you to be unsuitable to continue being staff. This is your one warning, thanks. We’d appreciate your support in leaving these servers and helping us to ban those who distribute invite links and leaked content. Kind regards, Cloak (edited)

Staff Handbook 2.4 Updated the Developer section to reflect the new ranking structure of the development team. Notably we have changed the criteria for all dev ranks, changed the name of Trial Developer to Junior Developer, and added a "Super Developer" rank which will be used for Senior Developers who need elevated permissions. https://docs.google.com/document/d/13g6hdt7mGTzBqgwPQ9iosjNQUORz80atswgoVxwPzyM/edit#

Staff Requirements Rework @everyone Hello all, I've decided to rework all staff requirements with immediate effect. Starting today, you will be required to meet the following staff requirements each week: Ranks up to Senior Moderator:: 60 sits, 2 hours AOD time Head Moderators: 45 sits, 1.5 hours AOD time Administrators: 30 sits, 1 hour AOD time Senior Administrators: 15 sits, 0.5 hours AOD time I've been thinking about this for while, and I think this system better suits the way in which staffing works on our servers. I still think it's important for players to see AODs online and see they can get a quick response, but I appreciate that with the sit requirement, a lengthy AOD time requirement can just feel like an extra burden on top. Most staff will now see lower AOD time requirements as a result of this change. The staff handbook has been updated (v2.4 -> v2.5) to reflect these new changes. https://docs.google.com/document/u/2/d/13g6hdt7mGTzBqgwPQ9iosjNQUORz80atswgoVxwPzyM/edit Kind regards, Cloak

Sensitive Situations Policy @everyone Hello everyone, our sensitive situations policy has been updated to drop the minimum rank of staff member who can deal with them from Super Administrator Super

to Senior Administrator SAdmin

. We believe that anyone holding the rank of Senior Admin should be able to confidently deal with these situations, and the current requirement of a Super Admin+ makes it quite inconvenient to find a staff member who can handle them, which sometimes prolongs the time taken for us to handle these. This change should make things easier for all of us. Kind regards, Cloak

11

Staff Rulings @everyone Hello all, some of you may have noticed the new 'staff rulings' section on the forums. I've removed a useless section (the announcements section - we have a news section anyway) and added a 'Staff Rulings' section in its place. Each server will have a staff rulings thread which takes second priority after the rules, and serves to clarify things that we can't reasonably fit into the rules. For instance, a detailed explanation of an uncommon violation of FailRP, alongside why it's a violation of FailRP, would belong in the 'staff rulings' section. Please keep in mind players are not expected to read this thread. It's mainly here so we have a consistent rulings page for staff to refer to, and so we have something we can point to if players keep getting tripped up on a rule over and over again. Rule changes should go in the rules page, this is only for us to issue rulings on whether a given situation falls under FailRP, etc or not. We also won't be putting every little thing into this rulings page - only things that happen repeatedly, especially where there's confusion or disagreement between staff / SL over the status of a rule. Any changes to the staff rulings page for a server will require approval from 2 Super Admins, or any member of the Network Leadership team. Kind regards, Cloak (edited)

Staff & Developers @everyone Hi everyone, Just a quick message to clarify that staff have authority over developers in-game as if they were a regular player. This means if you catch them breaking a rule, you should deal with them as normal, unless you can’t target them due to your rank in which case you should raise the complaint to a staff member with enough permissions to target developers. Unlike other communities where developer is a wide-reaching rank with authority in many places, in our community developers generally only work on tasks assigned by SL/NL until they hit Senior Dev and up, and don’t have any extra permissions or rights in the community. The exception is if you have a problem with a Senior or Super Developer - these developers will normally have SA permissions ingame - you can then pass those complaints to Network Leadership to be handled by them. Kind regards, Cloak

New Staff Handbook Sections @everyone Hi everyone, There are two new Staff Handbook sections that you should all be aware about. These are Section 14 - Staff Escalation and Section 15 - Rule Clarifications. These talk about the procedures you should follow when players want to escalate sits they are unhappy about, as well as the procedures you should follow when players ask you for rule clarifications. It's important that you all read these sections ASAP and ask your Server Leadership teams if you have any questions about their contents. Your SL teams will go over these new sections in the staff meetings on Sunday. https://docs.google.com/document/u/2/d/13g6hdt7mGTzBqgwPQ9iosjNQUORz80atswgoVxwPzyM/edit Kind regards, Cloak

Holiday Giveaway @everyone If I asked you what you wanted for the holidays, what would you say?

Myself and Ventz will be buying gifts for some of you as a thank you for all that you do for us at Civil Networks. But rather than just buying some gift cards and doing a giveaway, we're going to give you the chance to tell us what you want! All staff members are eligible to fill out the form. We'll pick four of you and give you what you asked for! We'll pick two by random number generator, and two based on whatever we think the most interesting requests are. The deadline is the end of the 23rd of December. Guidelines

Must be appropriate/SFW (as we'll tell the staff team what you received)
Please pick something that costs under £30 / $35
Must be reasonable for me to purchase and send to you. Gift cards, games, and other virtual items are all fair game. I'm even willing to purchase physical items, but if it requires shipping, please include shipping costs in the value.

https://forms.gle/E6iLRjxrVLrudzmJ7 Thanks everyone for your amazing work over the past year. We're now - in my opinion - the biggest community in Garry's Mod, and with 3 servers currently in the pipeline (MRP USA, SWRP UK, SWRP USA) and potential expansions to other games in the coming year, I'm sure we'll continue to grow. That's thanks to the amazing work put in by everyone. Let's keep it up in 2023! Kind regards, Cloak & Ventz - CN Executive Team (edited)

Community Supervisor Changes @everyone Hi everyone. Just letting you know about some changes I've made to the Community Supervisor CommunitySupervisor

rank. After extensive discussion, I've determined that the current structure of the rank isn't working for Civil Networks. As members of Network Leadership, Community Supervisors are highly trusted staff who should have wide-ranging authority, but up until now we've restricted them to having their powers on two servers at maximum. This has led them effectively becoming a "Super Admin+", and not really having the authority you'd expect of a member of Network Leadership. As of today, I'll be changing the rank description and powers of the Community Supervisor rank so they have authority across the entire network. As a result of this, they'll have superadmin-level access and FTP access to all servers in our network. I've also lifted the maximum rank they can promote to from Administrator Admin

to Senior Administrator SAdmin

, to help them with getting promotions done more quickly. Super Administrator Super

promotions will still require approval by myself. I've spoken to our current Community Supervisors about the new expectations that'll be placed on them as a result of this. Myself and Ventz hope that by doing this, we'll be able to focus more on the expansion of the community, while our Community Supervisors will be able to focus on maintaining what we already have. As part of this, our Community Supervisor team will now be the main point of contact for getting high-level problems solved - please contact them before myself where possible, only reaching out to me if they weren't able to solve a problem for you. I hope you will give them the appropriate respect and support that they will require in order to carry out their new duties. Please let me know if you have any questions. Kind regards, Cloak (edited)

RDM/RDA Verbal Warning @everyone Hi staff, We have decided to modify the Punishment Guidelines so that RDM & RDA offences are no longer eligible for verbal warnings. These offences cause real damage to other players and players get upset when they see players repeatedly getting let off for falsely killing/arresting them because 'they are eligible for a verbal warning'. I appreciate that having to give a warning to players who might not have known they were making a mistake doesn't feel great, but in these cases I'd ask you remind the player that a warning is just a note for our reference, and they shouldn't consider it a punishment on its own. Unfortunately we do need to issue warnings in these cases to keep everything fair, and I don't feel our current policy of giving out verbal warnings unless 'serious harm' is caused works. Kind regards, Cloak

Staff Reviews @everyone Hello! We hope you all had an amazing holiday season and are getting back into your regular grooves with no issues. This is a reminder about Staff Reviews, which are mandatory for all staff ranked Moderator Mod

@SCP-RP Staff @MRP Staff Hi, in light of the news that we can't accept PayPal for the forseeable future, please don't encourage people who are talking about how Stripe is 'untrusted' or whatever. It'll be a while until PayPal returns as a payment method (and it's not guaranteed), so it's pretty critical to us that people aren't shit-talking the only payment method we currently have available, as obviously that is our only current way of getting the funds which we use to run the server. Don't join in with that and please try to nicely inform people of the facts if they are saying things to that effect - remember, Stripe is a $100 billion company partnered with Amazon, Google, etc, not just some random website that will steal people's card details.

All-Time High @everyone We've just breached the 400 network playercount mark for the first time in history, with an all-time high of 405 players across all of our servers being reached just now (with the potential for us to keep surpassing this throughout the day). This is an amazing milestone and I'd like to thank all of you for your help in making this happen - it was only last year that we breached 300 players for the first time. To be blunt, in 2021, the future was not too bright for us at Civil Networks (or as we called it at the time, Civil Gamers), but through time and dedication we've pulled things around and comfortably established ourselves as - in my opinion - the biggest community in GMod. We've got no plans to stop here, and with Rust on the horizon and SWRP coming later in 2023, I've got no doubt there will be many more all-time highs to come. Thank you all so much for your help & support! Kind regards, Cloak

Staff Meeting Times @everyone Hello everyone, Starting tomorrow, staff meetings will be pushed back by two hours to make it easier for American staff members (especially those on the west coast, who currently have to wake up as early as 9.15am) to attend. This means that the new staff meeting times will be as follows: Global Leadership Meeting - Sunday @ 7.15pm GMT / 2.15pm EST Server Leadership Meetings - Sunday @ 7.30pm GMT / 2.30pm EST Server Staff Meetings - Sunday @ 8.00pm GMT / 3.00pm EST If you can't make a staff meeting for a particular week you should inform a member of your Server Leadership team. My apologies to anyone who these changes inconvenience, but this has been done for the benefit of the majority of the staff team. Kind regards, Cloak

Developer Applications @everyone Hi everyone, I won't copy-paste what I posted about Developer Applications in the announcements channels for MRP and SCP-RP, but I would like to tell you all as staff that you are especially encouraged to apply for Developer - you're more than welcome to be both a staff member and a Developer, and if you have the skills I highly encourage you to apply. Being a staff member means you have a lot of additional context to what is important to improve our servers, and it also means that we can more readily trust you as a Developer, making it easier for you to move towards becoming a Core Developer. https://www.civilgamers.com/community/forums/developer-applications.26/ If you have any questions, feel free to let me know

Kind regards, Cloak

@everyone - I just wanted to confirm that you will be allowed to hold staff ranks on a GMod server and our Rust servers simultaneously. This is because we anticipate the workload of Rust staff members being significantly lower than for GMod staff. If you're interested in being staff on our Rust servers, please join the Rust discord and check out the recent announcement there: https://discord.gg/ytf3m8Vuh9 KR Cloak

Hey @everyone, if you have Rust, I would really appreciate it if you could show our brand new Rust servers some support. Right now we've just released [EU] 3x Max 5, and we'll be releasing a US server today, then another EU and US on Thursday. If you have Rust, please log on today and help us to get the pop up - we need that initial boost to try to get players from outside the community to see us in the server browser and join. This is really important for our community and your help would be really appreciated! The IP for the newly opened server is connect rusteu2.civilservers.net:28010, and it'd also be great if you join our Discord here: https://discord.gg/ytf3m8Vuh9 If you've got any friends who play Rust, please let them know about our servers as well. Thanks a lot! ❤️ Kind regards, Cloak

Staff Meeting Calendar @everyone Hi everyone, this is the full staff meeting calendar that accounts for dual GMod / Rust staff and ensures they can attend all relevant meetings. All times are quoted in UK time and all meetings take place on Sundays. Global Leadership Meeting - 7.15pm UK time Server Leadership (GMod) Meetings - 7.30pm UK time Server Staff (GMod) Meetings - 8.00pm UK time Server Leadership (Rust) Meetings - 8.30pm UK time Server Staff (Rust) Meetings - 9.00pm UK time For reference, USA Central Time is currently 5 hours behind of the UK. You should google "UK time" and compare the current time in the UK to where you live locally, and use that information so you know when staff meetings occur. Clocks regularly go forward and backwards, so unfortunately I can't quote what the time will be in other timezones and have it be always correct. Kind regards, Cloak

@everyone Sorry all, I wouldn't normally ping you just to tell you this, but it's getting a bit crazy at the moment in my DMs. I have been visiting family for the past few days so have not been available to deal with player/staff issues, as usual the DMs from staff and players have not stopped in this time and I now have 20+ people expecting a response from me within the next day for their questions and problems, ranging from simple questions to complex donation queries and complaints. Please do be patient if I don't respond to you quickly, and don't be surprised if I miss your message - send a follow-up in a few days time if needed. Please do consider if your problem can be dealt with by SL or NL before shooting me a message. Thanks all. (edited)

Hi @MRP Staff @SCP-RP Staff - If you are interested in picking up a role as a Rust staff member (which will have no impact on your GMod staff rank), could you please shoot a DM either to @Luma (Rust Super Admin), or to one of the Community Supervisors, @Yeke or @Winkie. We are in need of new staff members who are able to hop on from time to time to check things are ok. The time commitment is very low, we would expect you to just be online for a few hours a week on average. We are now going to be pushing to make the servers more lively again, so we need staff who will be available to help with that. You do not need experience with Rust, you just need to own the game. You'd be placed in as either a Chat Mod or a Senior Mod depending on whether you have experience or not. It would be really, really appreciated, and the NL team will make a note of any of you who are willing to help out - helping out network-wide is something we really value in potential high ranking staff members

Kind regards, Cloak

Executive Team LOAs/ROAs @SCP-RP Staff @MRP Staff Hi everyone, just keeping you in the loop. We don't often take official LOAs (especially Ventz), but next week myself and Ventz will have LOAs/ROAs lining up and so it is important that you take note. Ventz will be on a full LOA while I will be on an ROA. During this period please do not DM or ping Ventz for anything. DM or ping myself for critical issues, but please try to keep it to critical things only. Critical issues are things like "all servers are simultaneously crashing and have been for an hour", "the servers are completely unplayable and the superadmins don't know what to do", or "your address and bank account details have been leaked in Discord". Critical issues are not things like a rule question or a complaint. In almost all cases, a Super Admin or Community Supervisor should be able to handle your issues. Ventz: LOA, 11th June - 18th June. Ventz has not had a proper LOA in years, and desperately needs a full break from CN. Don't message him about anything, if you think you need to speak to him, message myself and if necessary I will pass the information onto Ventz. Cloak: ROA, 11th June - 15th June. I'm moving to Hong Kong and need to reduce my activity accordingly, as I'll have a lot to sort out before and after arrival. I will be available for critical support if necessary, as I'll have my phone and/or laptop at all times. (except for the 12h40m I have to spend on a plane

) Please spread this information around if you can, including to players who have a habit of DMing us straight away for their issues (you know who they are)...would be great if they know not to do that next week. Kind regards, Cloak (edited)

Staff Privacy @everyone Good Afternoon All, Unfortunately we have to put this message out but we wish to remind everyone of the importance of keeping your social media as private as possible, unfortunately, there are unscrupulous people who like to get hold of our information with malicious intent to defame or harass people with their information, which in the past has lead to staff being doxxed and then having to leave the team. This is not something we would wish anyone to go through, so to echo cloaks previous post on the 16/07/2022 https://discord.com/channels/577041202684231710/917529200703979562/997820016483381318 The higher up you go in the staff team, the more likely it is you will be targeted, but this can happen to any of you and so I'm asking all staff to take the following actions:

Review your Steam and Discord accounts, and remove any identifiable information such as real life names, or linked accounts that reveal information.
Review your social media, and make sure you have your privacy settings set to not be visible from the public - e.g. 'Friends' or 'Friends of Friends' options on Facebook. Use options like 'View as' to see what a public user is able to access, Please also check the content you have uploaded to sites such as YouTube to ensure there is no identifiable information.
Be careful with what information you reveal in the CN community - once it gets out there, it's too late to take it back.

Unfortunately, these people are not good people, and they don't understand the repercussions of their actions. I hope that all staff will follow these steps in order to protect themselves - let us know if you have any questions. Please avoid discussing this outside of staff channels, as we don't think it is appropriate for information of this to spread further. Kind Regards, Network Leadership (edited)

All-Time High @everyone Hi, some of you might remember that our last network playercount ATH was in February of 2023, when we hit 405 players across all servers. I'm excited to tell you that we've officially hit a new ATH as of today, with us hitting 448 players at 7:30pm BST! This is honestly incredible to see and it's exciting that we can keep reaching new milestones despite being a 10 year old community. I said this last time we hit an ATH, but a few years ago, the future was not too bright for us at Civil Networks. Some servers weren't on a good trend, and certain GMod gamemodes seemed to be in a death spiral. There was a period of a couple years where myself and Ventz would regularly stress about the state of the community (well, we still do, but that's just because we care a bit too much), but we've turned that around with your help and I'm grateful to every one of you who has assisted with turning us into the biggest GMod community in the world. Who knows, with Site-9 releasing later this year, and SWRP releasing in 2024, maybe we'll see ourselves pushing past 500 players in due course

Thank you all so much, you are all just as responsible for this as we are, so make sure to take some credit for where we've come. Kind regards, Cloak (edited)

Donation Tickets/Sits @everyone Hi, most of you probably know that donation-related issues can only be dealt with by myself or Ventz. With DarkRP release last month, and the sale this month, I've been getting a significantly increased amount of donation tickets & sits escalated to me, so I'd like to just make some things clear to save us all some time. When dealing with donation-related tickets or sits, can you first try to gather as much information as possible before sending them to myself. Please also be careful that you're not giving them any promises, as I've had a couple people turn up at my doorstep recently expecting exchanges or refunds based on conversations they had with staff. Don't independently give anyone promises, but at the same time, remember that for simple donation questions, if you've seen me give someone else the answer to that question before (e.g. "we don't exchange permanent weapons"), you're fine to just repeat what I said without needing to bring me into it. Before pinging me or getting someone to DM me, at minimum, please make sure you've gotten their Steam ID and other associated information - what they paid for, what time it was at, etc. It's inconvenient when we have to spend time getting this information ourselves from many different people at once. If they have screenshots, that's great, but please encourage them to send screenshots directly to me and not in a ticket where they may be exposing billing information to our HMod+ team. Thanks for your help in trimming down our workload, everyone

Kind regards, Cloak (edited)

Safeguarding @everyone Hi, I'd just like to make some things clear. If you don't know what safeguarding is, it's normally defined as "the action that is taken to promote the welfare of children and protect them from harm". As a community that focuses on hosting video game servers, it's natural that a large proportion of our playerbase are going to be under the age of 18. This means we have a responsibility to do our best to ensure that those children are safe. Being a community that has had, and will continue to have, tens of thousands of players each year passing through its doors, it is a near inevitability that we will encounter awful people. Being blunt, yes, I am talking about adults who exploit or manipulate children. Over six years, I've had to blacklist multiple community members for safeguarding purposes, and police reports have accompanied multiple of these blacklists. That is the nature of a community with open doors. We cannot proactively check everyone's DMs, so we have to rely on reports of these situations. Safeguarding is something that everyone in the staff team needs to take seriously, and I expect everyone's cooperation in swiftly reporting these situations if you hear anything about one. I've had to deal with cases recently where players have been at risk, staff have heard rumours, but nobody has reported it to myself because they didn't want to bother me. Please don't think that you are bothering me. All this leads to is people assuming that we "must have heard about it" and simply done nothing. I always make sure these are dealt with as soon as possible; the last report I received was dealt with within 24 hours and the user in question was blacklisted. Some (in most cases, ex-)community members like to portray that we try to 'hide' things on these topics, or that we don't take them seriously. That's not the case. It's not a bannable offence to say that an ex-community member was blacklisted for safeguarding purposes, etc. What is bannable is to start posting the identities of the children involved, or spreading screenshots of what happened. We have a duty to safeguard the identities of any victims. I have known victims to express their reluctance to report these incidents in the past due to being worried that a bunch of trolls on alt accounts who want to portray CN in a negative light will start shouting out their identity, just so they can score points against us. You will note I prefer to say someone was banned for "safeguarding purposes", rather than saying they were banned for being a pedophile or breaking the law. I have banned multiple people for safeguarding even in cases where what they did is technically legal under UK law or the law of the country they're in. We apply a more stringent standard than UK law, namely, we blacklist any adult who has inappropriate contact with someone under 18, even though the age of consent in the UK is 16 (and in almost all cases I've dealt with, victims are aged 16/17). Accusing someone of breaking the law where they haven't done so has potential consequences for yourself and us. Feel free to DM me if you have any questions. Kind regards, Cloak (edited)

Hi @everyone, I'll keep it brief, as you might've seen the main Discord announcements, but I just wanted to especially tell all of you that I've loved working with this staff team. I'm really proud of what we've managed to turn this staff team into over the years, through many reforms and changes. We never used to have things like server teams or the handbook only a few years ago, but nowadays we're one of the most professional staff teams in GMod. I wish you all the best, and it's been great working with you all. ❤️ Cloak

Future Plans @everyone As you all know, Cloak has left his position here at Civil Networks. I would like to thank Cloak for everything he has done during his very long time in this community, I'm sure we all agree it would simply not have been the same without him. Due to this there will be some upcoming changes to how we operate as a staff team. This week we will be making a one-off modification to the staff meeting, where we will announce any relevant changes and information which you might need to know. The following schedule highlights the one-off change to this weeks meetings, which simply adds a 15 minute global meeting for all to attend together. Thanks all. 19:15 Global SL Meeting 19:30 SL Server Meetings 20:00 Network Staff Meeting (this week only) 20:15 Normal staff meetings Until then, please continue as usual. Anything you would have previously contacted the CL about please DM to me, or alternatively DM directly the NL team. We understand that not all people will be able to make this due to the time, however we will ensure there is transcription for staff to see.

GitHub issue templates @everyone

Hi everyone, this is mainly for the content teams, but I have added issue templates to the SCP, MRP and Network development trackers. This means when you are filing bugs, features or enhancements, you must follow this new process in order to make sure your ticket follows the correct format. The process is simple:

Navigate to the (Private or Public) repository for the project
Press "New Issue" in the top right
Select the correct format from the options (Bug, Enhancement or Feature)
Fill out the format and create the ticket IMPORTANT NOTE: Your issue should be automatically added to the project board a few seconds after creating it, please check this happens and an event appears under your issue like this: https://i.gyazo.com/8eb120cc41828ca159de7e688eb1210e.png Video Tutorial: Here is a video to demonstrate the best way to follow this process: https://gyazo.com/de473adc88b803dbe9f8def02897f7de

Ventz pinned a message to this channel. 17/11/2023 17:38

Hello All, @everyone You may have noticed the complaints section change from what you are used to, we are adopting a new system whereby players can submit complaints that are private to themselves and viewable by SL only. Now what does this mean for you? This means you do not have to go out of your way to reply to complaints, if SL needs your side of events, they will contact you to discuss the complaint issued, furthermore, this should alleviate any issues of fear of receiving a complaint that is posted in the public eye, to help you guys feel less afraid of complaints. I would like to say on the back of this, we will always go out of our way to defend our staff team where we can unless there are circumstances that are proven to need further action, however, we do not want you to fear repercussions for all your actions, if you feel you have made the right call and can justify it, we will understand this, please don't be afraid of complaints. Any questions, feel free to ping me and ask. Kind regards, Yeke

Hello @everyone, Sorry to inform you that today I have demoted Winkie from the Network Leadership team. Please do not harass him or message him about this as I'm sure he wouldn't want that. If you need to contact Network Leadership from now on, please contact myself or Yeke. The current Network Leadership team is now small and Yeke has a significant workload due to this so please do not spam him with too many requests and remember that I am also a member of Network Leadership. That being said if you need to contact us don't hesitate to. I would like to take this opportunity to remind staff that your conduct on and outside our platforms matters so long as you hold a staff position, and there are consequences for not upholding a good image to other members of the community. Actions such as trash talking the server/community are not permitted, especially if you were to do it on a live stream to multiple members of the community. We are here to build a positive, inclusive and fun environment for all, and this sort of attitude or behaviour is not compatible with this team. It is also not permitted to stream/record staff situations or logs to members outside of the staff team. If you have any questions or concerns DM me on discord. Thanks

TeamSpeak @everyone We are moving to a new TeamSpeak server soon, nothing you change on the current server will be carried over from this point forwards. So if you give anyone tags or something, you'll have to do it again when we switch over (soon™️)

@everyone Hello all, As you may remember a while back, we stated in a recent post about harassment in the network and what we will do about this, although we had robust procedures surrounding harassment via case by case investigation as per the punishment guidelines, players did not see this as being actioned and believed we did not do anything nor have any rules in place to combat this, you will now find in your respective servers the following rules that have been implemented;

Discrimination - Discrimination is not permitted, This refers to unfair treatment, unfair opportunities or offensive behavior towards someone based on their appearance, sexuality, gender, religion, nationality, etc.

Harassment - Repeated harassment or targeted bullying towards anyone is not permitted. If you are told that your behavior is uncomfortable or disturbing to an individual, you should cease that behavior. We are here to have fun, we won't tolerate anyone who attempts to ruin the server for others and foster toxicity. Staff will deal with these situations on a case-by-case basis.

Hopefully this highlights the stance we should be taking on toxicity and how to approach this, if ever unsure on this, please approach your Server Leadership team or if this is not able to be done, feel free to approach Network Leadership, providing you are unable to meet the Chain of Command. Any questions, please feel free to ask Kind Regards Network Leadership

The Ongoing Harassment and Discrimination Problem

Introduction Ever since I have joined this server, I have noticed, and many have experienced an ongoing problem with people on the server being very obviously discriminatory in various ways, whether that be sexism, racism, or any other form of unfair discrimination.

The staff meetings will happen at the same but on Saturday 30th December 2023. Happy New Year everyone and see you in 2024! We can just about prepare for the "ive not seen you since next year" jokes!

Network Leadership Promotions @everyone

Hi everyone, you may have already noticed yesterday, but I am happy to announce the promotion of three new Community Supervisors! Please congratulate @Rushi, @Ellie and @Canoon

This marks the beginning of an exciting new era for the Civil Networks community and staff team, and has been a long time coming. With Yeke as the only NL member for a long time, we have been stretched thin, but this will finally change. Please allow everyone time to learn the workings of their new positions, accommodate themselves with all the servers within the network, and surely get to meet some more of you as they do so! With that said, we now have a much greater capacity to address situations which require NL attention, so please don't hesitate to reach out.

@everyone

Discord Server Access

Good Evening all, To ensure we are keeping our services as secure as possible, we have made slight changes to each discord; The changes are as follows; All Discords (Except SCP) Users will now see a checkmark under the message in the appropriate #👋welcome channel, all they need to do is accept this and it will provide the basic roles they need to engage with the server. SCP-RP Discord As SCP has a different way of obtaining roles, They will need to react to the appropriate flag in https://discord.com/channels/847587034792460328/944017780993314876 This is after an investigation we found that autoroles were causing users to not have to abide by the discord verification, this change forces the verifications and should significantly prevent these alt accounts from accessing the server, as all of our discord verification levels are set to the highest requiring a phone number to authenticate the account. If there are any issues, please let me know ASAP Kind Regards Yeke (edited)

Proxy & VPNs @everyone

To improve the safety of our players and staff, I have decided to disable the usage of Proxies or VPNs whilst playing on the game servers. This includes cloud provided gaming services like GeForce Now. Users can still join when using a proxy if they are VIP/Staff or if the game determines their account to be trusted or whitelisted. Users who are blocked will receive a message which looks like this: https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/911730325942595635/1207383590514597978/image.png?ex=65df7298&is=65ccfd98&hm=32804eb00ad9914822460c5ccb9c1b7e3cb979df1ea5e9374a77dca7f5a410ca&=&format=webp&quality=lossless If you receive support requests claiming they are being falsely blocked for using a VPN, please ping myself or Network Leadership in the ticket. Superadmins will be able to use the ulx cnpc_whitelist_steamid to allow a specific account to join, if we decide the detection is a false positive. A message will display in chat for Senior Admin+ when a player is rejected connection due to using a proxy. Report all false positives to Network Leadership Report all accounts you believe to have bypassed this to Network Leadership If you have any questions or concerns DM me Thanks

Server Teams

Hi all! I've been getting some feedback lately about the Server Teams and I want to hear what everyone thinks about them, now that they've been in place for 2 years without much change. When I was on staff in 2018/19, we didn't have Server Teams, and it showed - some people were spreading themselves thin, trying to juggle too much and burning out fast, while others were coasting without pulling their weight. But now, with the Server Teams in play, we've got a better shot at keeping everyone engaged and firing on all cylinders. They're like the glue that holds our staff team together. So, I'm sending out a quick survey. If you're part of a Server Team, please take a moment to fill it out. If there are tweaks needed, let's make them. And if you're ok with it, drop your username at the end so we can follow up for more input - this isn't necessary though. https://forms.gle/LD88CNh8SbE4J16ZA @Senior Moderator @Head Moderator @Admin @Senior Admin (edited)

Random Suspicious DMs

Hello All, Unfortunatly people who have been removed from our network are now targetting staff with random DMs to try cause concern or bait you into saying things that you may regret. If you come across any of these accounts, please make sure to not engage with them and report directly to myself in relation to it (Please ban them from the discords however). If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. Kind Regards Yeke

Hi @everyone (This is for the UK services) Unfortunately, our host is having a few issues with our UK services which include all UK servers and TeamSpeak. We want to apologize for any issues, please be patient during this time, once it's fixed, we will come to do roulettes, this is just so we don't end up with 100 pings telling us their server keeps going down

Hi @everyone As you have probably noticed, we have implemented global staff and GM chat, allowing staff and GMs to speak to each other across servers while in-game. This feature is not an opportunity to shit post and flame others. Global chat is to be used for important cross-server communication, i.e. possible network issues, asking for help from other servers etc Anyone found to be misusing this feature will be infracted. Please flag any issues to NL. (edited)

Since the clocks changed recently in the UK - Note that the global sever leadership meeting is 07/04/2024 19:15 And staff meetings are 07/04/2024 20:00 Please inform your supervisor if you cannot attend. @Trial Moderator @Moderator @Senior Moderator @Head Moderator @Admin @Senior Admin @Super Admin (edited)

Staff Rewards

Hello! @SCP-RP Staff @MRP Staff Announcements

After discussion with Network Leadership, we have decided to change some things in relation to Staff Rewards! BulletPoint

The maximum VPoints a staff member can earn off the back of their duties is 2000 VPoints by going above and beyond! and increase of 1000! BulletPoint2

Staff of The Week will now come with a 1000 VPoint reward as we felt that just a tag felt really tacky, and as such we are happy to push for further rewards to staff going above and beyond - Please note: Only Superadmins can issue this reward to the staff member who must be in game! Discord

Any questions, feel free to contact me. Kind Regards Network Leadership

NOTE: The maximum Vpoints change may take a while to be implemented, but know its coming!

Staff Permissions. This is one of those posts I didn't think I needed to make, but in the spate of about 5 minutes, I had to speak to no less then 4 staff members for misuse of staff permissions. These permissions are designed to allow you all to do your job, and should not be misused. Putting ban and kick reasons such as the below examples from tonight alone are unacceptable. "Feral 1" "Femboy" "STFU" "Bad Delcom" This is a warning to all staff, on all servers. Tolerance for misuse of your staff powers is low. If I, or any member of the Server Leadership Team or Network Leadership team catch you misusing your powers, the best you can hope for is a Minor Infraction. This is the only warning that is being provided. If you are not sure if you should do it, don't. Please ackowledge that you have read this by clicking the tick button. @MRP Staff @SCP-RP Staff (edited)

'About ~10 minutes ago our EU network experienced interruption, the network techs are currently diagnosing the issue and when it has been found and fixed we'll release more information here.'

@SCP-RP Staff @MRP Staff Host is aware of issues and is looking into it, they say it should be ok now but take that with a pinch in salt! In future - when alerting NL/Supers of connection issues can you please specify what type of network issues are occurring - 1. Massive lag spikes in-game, lag on TS (Please comment on timing - how long are the lag spikes, is there anything big happening in game to worsen it?) 2. Connection error in game, people lagging/dropping on TS 3. People fully DISCONNECTING from game and dropping on TS It helps us communicate with the host if we get as much info as possible as quickly as possible.

Malicious Discord / Steam Links

Hello @everyone Just the annual reminder as we are having this issue present itself more frequently as of late.. Please be careful of the links you click on if sent via Discord or Steam, there are many malicious links going around trying to steal Discord login tokens to send the good old weird server link invites and/or Steam Account hijacking via phishing. It is important to be aware of the actions you take whilst online to prevent losing access to your account, as unfortunately there is basically nothing we can do to assist you if this happens, so vigilance is key. How to spot these links There are two types of trends seen and I will cover these as much as I can "Hotdropping" as I like to call it consists of the "scammer" dropping a link with little to no context usually in an advertising manner to just get the people who are too curious for their own good to click the link. Usually, those are found on discord going "HEY JOIN MY SERVER FOR XYZ <link>" and its usually spammed all over every Discord channel, the other common one is "FREE STEAM / DISCORD GIFT CARD / NITRO WORTH $40!!! <link>" The way to spot these is first; 1. Is the person reputable? or is this their first time posting? 2. Is the person spamming every channel? If yes, 1000% a scammer (note this is not always the case that they spam all channels but is common) 3. Is what they are offering too good to be true? 4. What benefit would the person get by posting the link, if you can't answer a logical benefit, it's probably a scam! 5. Do the links ask you to sign in? (If you have signed in with Steam or Discord, generally they don't ask you to log in with your username and password again Now the other common one is where they will pretend to be your friend, sending you messages acting like them, I recently had this happen to a friend but was caught out as that person hadn't messaged me in 6 years. These scams usually portray themselves as your friend who REALLLLLY wants you to do them a favor, the most common ones I have seen are; "Hey, can you help vote for my Team / Image for CS.GO? I am trying to win a competition" "Hey, can you help me get some free store credit, all you need to do is sign in here and it'll authorize it for me, plz" Be careful, and the best way to confirm this, is to ask them something only your friend would know, they will either block you or get aggressive, and at that point you know it is a scammer as your friend(s) should have no issues answering the basic questions. What to do if I have stupidly clicked on a link? 1. Contact SL and let them know which account you suspect to have been infiltrated 2. Change your password! 3. Be aware that we may ban you for the duration of your issue to prevent malicious access. 4. Once you are confident your account has not been taken over, contact the SL member and let them know you are in the clear. I have tried to avoid placing too much blame, however it is your responsibility to protect your account, due to the amount of scams there are, be vigilant and be smart, I do have to state, if you repeatedly lose access to your accounts, we may have to potentially remove you from the staff teams. Here is a handy discord video for those who may be unsure of what they may look like: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jz-3goOPj9o Kind Regards Yeke salty_admin

Hello @SCP-RP Staff @MRP Staff @deleted-role , I hope you're doing well. I am considering the removal of Section 14: Staff Escalation from the Staff Handbook. The reason is that I believe this process is redundant. If someone is unhappy with a sit, they can file a forums complaint, where a proper investigation can take place without taking up too much in-game time from Staff and Server Leadership. I understand that you all have other important tasks to focus on, and as volunteers, it's important you also have fun on the server. Since this policy was introduced, it hasn't brought any significant benefits and has only complicated a process that Server Leadership was handling smoothly before. Please share your thoughts on the thread. I am requesting your feedback to present to Network Leadership so that we can come to an informed decision regarding this policy. Thanks! Rushi

Clocks Going Back

Hello All, Just found out myself and thought id let you all know since staff meetings are generally done off the UK time, that clocks for the UK go back 1 hour as of the 27 October, so staff meetings will be at 8PM GMT as opposed to 8PM BST. (and vice versa for SL / Global Admin meetings) https://www.gov.uk/when-do-the-clocks-change Kind Regards Yeke (edited)

When do the clocks change?

Dates when the clocks go back or forward - includes British Summer Time, Greenwich Mean Time

Updated Maintenance Requirements

Hello @MRP Staff @SCP-RP Staff After review and delibiration by Network Leadership, we have reviewed our current maintenance requirements and agreed to reduce the sits part of the requirements, which you can find further information below, these changes will go into effect on Monday 04/11/2024 and as such the current requirements remain as they are until this date.

What is changing?

AOD Time will remain the same as it currently is, however sits will be reduced to the following; Trial Moderator: 40 Moderator: 40 Senior Moderator: 40 Head Moderator: 30 Admin: 20 We hope this will ease the burden and stress on our staff team and aid with improving morale and allowing the staff teams to enjoy the servers they moderate. What else has been changed??

Upped the maximum reward cap for vpoints from 1000 to 2000
Refactored the rewards to make them fairer and easier to obtain for ALL staff ranks, as previously to obtain any rewards under the old system you had to hit 4 hours AOD OR 80 sits in order to recieve a reward, we have made this significantly fairer and tailored to each rank so there is realistic prospect to earn rewards by putting in the extra work now, however we will not be sharing the limits to reach.

We hope you all can take some stress off your back and continues with the fantastic work you all do for CN on a daily basis, without you guys, I would be having to take sits and we don't want that!

Thank you all again and have a great weekend! Kind Regards Yeke (edited)

Updated Punishment Guidelines

Hello @MRP Staff @SCP-RP Staff After review of the guidelines, I have made a few amendments;

- Removed Prop Abuse and Destroying ents in a raid (DarkRP rules)
- Removed DarkRP and Rust columns
+ Moved ERP to a red offence and increased punishments

The rationale for the change around the rule for ERP, is we state in our rules that it is strictly prohibited and we take a no tolerance approach, however our punishments indicated the opposite, as such I believe it is appropriate to upgrade the severity in this. As a reminder the definition for ERP is as follows;

ERP is defined as Erotic Roleplay whereby the player is roleplaying actions of a sexually deviant nature whether roleplaying sexual intercourse, foreplay or other sexually explicit actions - Staff reviewing these cases should take care to ensure they are making the correct decision

The punishments are as follows; Class A - 1wk ban Class B - 4wk ban Class C - 8wk ban And if the player still cannot take the hint, then it will be upgraded to Class X which is a permanent ban You can find the punishment guidelines here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1xh2bTjUxxnMOv4i459_e2nZp6DoiM3AXnmFF7FkI5FI/edit?usp=sharing Thank you all for your hard work as per usual, you all do an excellent job! Kind Regards Yeke (edited)

NOTE: Also updated cheating, from 26w to blacklist, this is to keep it in line with how our Anti-cheat operates, please find the below note attached to it;

Where needed ban the cheater if causing mass disruption, inform network leadership ASAP and provide evidence of the cheating, we will then review the blacklist requirement to match our punishments under our Anti-Cheat

A new version of the Mentor Test will be pushed, this means that instead of there being multiple questions, it will now have multiple tasks that are completed through in-game and evaluated based on how well it is done. @Senior Moderator @Head Moderator (Pinging you gents as you mentor T-Mods). NOTE: It is understandable that this might be a bit confusing at the start and will take some time to get used to it. (edited)

The Christmas Period

Good evening @everyone! I want to say it has been a blast of a year, seeing all the ups, downs and all arounds happening on the network, we could not have had such a fantastic year without everyone here, and I genuinely mean that. You all have put in phenomenal effort and it has not gone unnoticed! Due to the Christmas Period, we would like you to enjoy your time with your families and friends, so please take it easy as all requirements are not being counted for the next 2 weeks, However I do have to state if you are playing on the server we do have to hold the expectation that sits will be taken and not left. Christmas is a busy period for everyone including ourselves, so we would appreciate all the help we can get, but please don't let that get in the way of your familial obligations! Also of note, we will have the Community Awards being hosted here tomorrow! I would love to fill the stage to all 300 slots if we can! From everyone in the Network Leadership Team we wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!! Kind Regards Network Leadership PepeChristmas
