Show me a ban which is for a trivial thing.
http://cit2.net/index.php?topic=136780.0
A game which we can heavily modify to improve it.
One last thing, please care more about the F1. It is often outdated.
I think it's nobody's fault. CIT is maybe already in the level of its peak development. It's based on a game that is released a decade ago. It's got a very outdated game engine which limit possibilities. But let's see how far CIT differs from its base. I can say it's been developed awesomely. But remember, everything has its own limitations. All we can do is to make the best of those limitations.The first bottleneck of CIT is for a game environment, the people here are somehow too strict. It seems like they like seeing other people lose or quit even for a simple mistake. I'll say if you want more people in the community, quit banning and punishing people from trivial things. Or at least, reduce your standards in it (Yes, it's a message for admins). People make mistake. Let punishment teaches, not to ditch people. Because there's nothing worst than a feeling that you're unneeded. That's the main reason why people quit things they even loved before.Second is the not-so-fun limitations of features. Basically yet to be able to access certain features, you have to play in certain type of gameplay and ditching the other one(s). Do you want to use barriers, tank, or hydra? Well, you have to join those boring law groups that force you to be a police all the time and all that boring rules. (Sorry, groups) Same goes to criminal with their "criminal life". And even civilians..Game features should be available to ones purely based on their gaming skills and achievements, not things like "leading skill"/"More RP"/"Group officiality" or whatsoever. Give the "skilled gamers" the feature they deserve. For example allowing a police/crimnal with x Arrest points/Crim. Rep the access to spawn barriers regardless of what group they're in. Or even the Hydra access. Do not remove nor limit things that make SA is fun in the first place. Actions, explosions, and even violence. More features for the players, the better. Talking about what if things get exploited, rules are there for reasons.Third, treat new players better. Nobody likes being a newbie, so give them features that will make them enjoy CIT and stay eventually. Also from personal experience, CIT title on MTA server browser is kinda unclear for gaming newbies. I mean like "CnR, SomeRP, MW" I was like.. What the hell is "CnR, SomeRP, MW"!? Honestly, I won't try the server if it didn't have that much players on the server browser that intrigued me. Before, I only joined server with clear titles like "Race"/"Police vs criminals"/"Zombie".One last thing, please care more about the F1. It is often outdated. And quite confusing for new players. I spent like an hour trying to get to the explorer job in that time because the F1 didn't help, and nobody cares about a newbie. I didn't have money nor vehicles and there was no explanation how to use the chat. I didn't know the difference between T,Y,U because there was never an on-screen explanation of how and what those are for. So basically the moment after joining the server, I didn't know what I should do. It was pretty confusing. Once I understood that I should get a job, the F1 was once again being unclear. The job payment was in decimals that I did not understand. So I simply was trying various jobs blindly, not knowing what I'm doing for. The main point of all that is, please do care about little things before trying making the big ones. Sometimes the bottleneck of a system is the little thing in it because nobody is care enough to realise.
Though regarding to flaming, I do think it's better to suppress the exposure by censoring words that could lead to a flame. Prevention is always better.
What I think we need is a new suggestion and a new Forum system in which number of post don't matter. Why?Because people often downvote a suggestion for 3 bad reasons:*To troll.*Because they can't understand it.*Because they post whored something like "this suggestion is useless because x reason* and they need the downvote to justify it.Look at just the latest example of what usually happens in suggestions board. http://cit2.net/index.php?topic=138486.msg1823316#msg1823316People downvotes it because "the forums would stop being used" ... biggest facepalm ever. Many good suggestions are closed in days before going anywhere because of the 3 reasons stated above.If number of post don't matter, we would have less "not-smart" people playing they are even dumber and posting useless/inaccurate stuff to post whore. Just look right here, lots of post will come saying:"oh you just butthurt your suggestions get many downvotes"."This isn't a suggestion nor useful, you just mad"."if we dont have post count, how will staffs will chosen, we ned them, or noone would post. derp".No post count, would make us a much more chill community. How would you choose JCM+ RCM+ SCM* .. we don't need them, as Arran said in this very one thread, suggestion will be open for everyone. I don't see why other boards need rank permissions. How would we choose staffs? Staffs are the most important gears in the community, they aren't chosen because they have 100+ posts... they are chosen because they are known and they are mature and smart.About the suggestions, what about ONLY having upvote button? you don't want it? don't upvote it. That way it can't be trolled. Of course if people really don't want it, it won't reach 50 upvotes in 2 weeks.
New groups could have built bases in CITy and used them, but they didn't.
Hello!first of all thank you for opening this topic, it will be very great to let other poeple suggest things. I also wanted to sugest somethings. but before I will start about the problems:I will first start about "fun" in this game ( just the guy what he said above ). but it looks like you first need to do boring jobs to have fun for poor guys, and rich guys just do what they want and are bored. the most thing that poeple call fun is CnR and Turfing. no wonder it is, because it is about fighting against others with group. but what about karting? or even paintball? paintball is also fighting but why do they not join? a answer for that would be because you only spent money in it but dont earn anything back if you win something. and so my first suggestion would be:1: by paintball and kart-racing you must earn some money if you win like the race, and expand it in more places and not only SF, place it in LS and other places and put new tracks and new fieldsand now about the cops. maybe you heard already it, KS KS and KS and KS KS KSKSSKSKSKSKSK! sometimes I think: O GOD PLS STOP THIS. no wonder, every cop hates a noob calling KS, and they dont only say SK sometimes, they spam the whole chat! make it fair for cops if they kill some one! make it who dealt the most damage get the money or divide it like:cop1: 50% damagecop2:20% damagecop3: 30% damageso cop1 get 50% of the money and cop2 20% and cop3 30%, make it like this, maybe this will help the KS and the all. you should maybe also add this in criminal events!2: make it more fair for cops if they catch or kill a crimeand so we were talking about CnR and Turf was the most thing that was fun in this server. yes , ofcourse it is. as I said before its about fighting that is why, so why should you not make a new thing? also about fighting. what about making a new game called: The Battle of the Flag. ( I just made this up in some sec maybe poeple have more ideas ) you must script that in a place in the desert maybe would be war like a real war in RL, one shot of sniper= dead. one shot of Spaz-12 in close combat= dead. make it something like that and that poeple are like in red and blue team fighting for 3 flags. like I want to join the war and the system put my in a fair team so not one team is overpower or underpowerd. then youre fighting like in real life. headshots means youre dead. maybe this game will need more tactic because it is like real war, and maybe you also should disable player blips if youre playing it. and for reward if you kill some one you earn money or drugs or items.so what ever that is what I made up. so second suggestion:3: add a new game that is about fighting. and earn money or things with it.the civilian life now, boring way to be rich, this side of CIT2 really need improves, poeple only do that to get money and to do the "fun" things. I suggest here a new system. a system like buisniss. you start a buisniss group, you buy a house to admin in it. then you like maybe buy some trucks. and then you ask poeple to work for you and give them that truck and tell them to deliver this thing to here and the driver earns 25% of the money. and so like iron mining buisniss is started. they buy iron, buy a trailer, ask the delivery buisniss to deliver this delivery to the city to earn money, so the ironmining buisniss pays the delivery buisniss like 20K and the driver gets 5K and the delivery buisniss gets 15K and the iron mining buisniss sell it for 40K and pays 20K for the delivery. so I suggest a whole new system for this.4: add a whole new system to start a buisniss and make it so poeple can work for the buisniss.now we all know that the mods replace the cars and its kinda annoying when you have got a Mercedes Benz E63 AMG but some poeple see a useless Elegant. so I suggest that we ADD cars instead of REPLACE, this site might help the staff:http://www.gtaforums.com/index.php?showtopic=399977so we now can add cars in place of replace it and add usefull trucks and more vehicles. we can also like that the a buisniss make the cars by buyign iron and all electronics and build the car and ask again a delivery buisniss to bring it to the dealers and the dealers buy the car and sell it to poeple. 5: make it able to ADD cars.and now atleast, as far as I know, the staff team was trying many times to make a new city, but it was uselles, nobody ever used it. and I know why. you should think carefully, what does teh most players on the server are in the cities? because of work! because of CnR! because of Turfing! you should make a new countryside where liek you can buy ground and start buisniss. and add houses so crism can rob it! and make a new PD for cops to work there! and maybe new place to Turf! when making a new map it must be realistic! and it should have jobs there! it must have everything liek what LS or SF or LV have! so that is the mistake the Staff make everytime!6: add a new City like SF or LS or LV ( LS and SF can be together )so I hope I did something and helped improving this server and thank you for your time if you were reading this. and sorry for my english!regards,Ahmed LaskanColonel in Police Assistance Team [PAT]PS: I did not write a suggestion about the crim side because I Self dont know how it is as a crime, I am a cop so I let teh crims suggest for them self
Doesn't work. Makes it worse. Fvck off a$$hole. See how easy it is to get around "censoring words"?
The game is for only players who are 18 years old or older. So if you are playing the game while you are not 18 or higher, then it's on your own risk that you hear some flames from the players around you.
So the child that doesn't know what the word means just starts saying it ?
No. It looks like that but it isn't. In-game admins can't delete the line which was written by the flamer / provoker, but on forum, the post which contains flames, provokes, insults can be easily deleted, that's why forum looks way more cleaner, and way more peaceful.
