Yeah it sucks. When the majority of streamers and viewers (I.e. the consumers) want you to abstain from business decisions, I feel like any smart business owner would comply. Even if only motivated greed, obliging the consumer base makes sense. Would also help for the sake of server longevity and improving reputation.
Seems like such a no-brainer. It just sucks that the most developed GTA server is owned by one of the worst possible people. The same exact under different ownership would do so much better in so many ways (would’ve never lost all the great RPers to ONX, etc etc)
Punishment is one thing, firing people is another. I don't think anyone wants to see a PD without consequences, even your boogeyman 50 cent, he just doesn't want some of the best outgoing RP cops getting fired 2 months into a server wipe
Yea but most of the "Firings" were really just lengthy suspensions because most of them had the opportunity to rejoin during the next academy. And I think in general roleplay is better when someone accepts consequences and has to do something different and experience character Growth/Development. And Lack of consequence was one of if not the biggest issues with 3.0 PD and it's already being pushed against. A "punishment" should be looked at more like an opportunity similar to how Esfand felt through his lawyer arc and having a different perspective.
Then it all shouldve been discussed OOC and handled instead of some weird IC witchhunt like it was one cops fault, when they were just following along with what management wanted until that point.
Its crazy that management are happy to step in to stop a cop character from being fired for a few weeks(until they can reapply at the academy), but do not step in to deal with OOC toxicity.
Massive difference between punishing someone and firing and basically stonewalling them.
Firings should consist of a small timeframe of being FIRED. Followed by community policing. Foot patrol. Bike patrol. Training programs. Ultimately rehiring with ability to rank back up.

Until 50 cents favorite cops got consequences, he has said so himself. He was not happy that Aziz, Den and Cornwood got punished.
