Hey, weren't you the kid who scammed $35 from me with a broken BaseWars back when I was still retarded?
If I recall you just deleted the items that didn't work.

You told me to pay you as family in PayPal before I knew what it did because you didn't want me to charge back over your shitty broken code.
Oh come on... This is a corruption case? Let me show you something. [url=http://www.fearlessrp.net/showthread.php?tid=47991]This is a corruption case! Formatted, refined, and actual evidence.[/url]

[B][U]Part I : Opening Statement[/U][/B]
Only two years ago, it was stated by SoulRipper that he would like to make Fearless more transparent, and allow for information that was once locked down to primarily the admin forum to become available to the community of FLRP. As of the current day of the 14th of June, 2014, we have yet to see fulfillment of these words, and if anything, the community has become far less transparent and more conspiracy ridden than it was those two years ago.
In due cause of these reasons, as well as my own personal questions regarding why I was rebanned after being unbanned and never heard why, I wish to fulfill a request for a Freedom of Information Act on FL. The purpose of this act is to not only help certain sects of players regain trust with the admin team, but also to heal any old wounds which may of occurred in controversial bans that were taken and thrown aside into the admin forum or done through hidden messages that are not available to the public. It should go without saying, that thou who cannot voice openly, should not voice at all.
[B][U]Part II: Increasing Transparency[/U][/B]
For the moment in Fearless, transparency is something that is looked down upon. Admins and users alike talk of how the admin forums and hidden messages should remain secretive as certain information may be to sensitive for public viewing. The Lawyers of Kumonryu Law Offices, refute this point as it provides that the admins do not trust the community of FearlessRP with such information or they believe that because of the sensitive materials that this information may provide might cause conflict within the community. If this is the case, we have already stepped a line to far in the regards of what is acceptable and what is not acceptable as a community. Admins should not be downtalking or discriminating against players, as players are already expected to do for them. This not even a matter of simply community, but a matter that is proven within both the FL Forum Rules and Server Rules.
[quote][U]|In Server Rulelist|
Genereal Rule #4. Do not insult players and admins in out-of-character chats.
Genereal Rule #14. No racism, sexism, discrimination or hate speech, also not in IC chats.[/U][/quote]
[quote][U]|Forum Rules|
Section 1.1 > g.) You are allowed to state your opinion about Fearless, even if it's negative. Please make sure your opinion is based on arguments and is not just spreading hate, because that will result in a warning/ban. Don't state your opinion about the community randomly in threads, this is unnecessary and offtopic.
Section 1.2 > b.) Members should post in a way that is respectful of other users. Flaming or abusing users in any way will not be tolerated and will lead to a ban.[/U][/quote]
Every member of the community is expected to follow these rules to the crossing of the t's and dotting of the i's. This also includes the staff members as their have been cases in which staff members have been scolded for not following rules in the past, and in certain cases have been actually removed from the team and banned for breaking of other forum and ingame rules.
It is from this understanding that we bring our case to the floor. While admins may be able to see each others messages or are able to contact each other over the admin forum, the majority of the FL community is unable to do this, and is at points left in the dark for whatever conversations take place in the admin forum. Several leaks from current standing and ex-admins have shown that disrespect and other types of bannable behavior runs rabid in admin only discussions. If an admin wishes to contend me on this, I am currently sitting on two documents in relation to ex-admins which have been ousted and within the admin forums they were made fun of and mocked, going as extensive as DOX files being pulled up against them, and new communities that they made. These files even horrify me to a certain degree, as one case which I witnessed was about what to do with an ex-admin who they accused of not following the rules. One method described, and which I will make public mention of was to have a fake "security breach" and force every user to change their passwords, but when a certain user was to approach the staff about having their password changed, they were to be thrown into a bureaucratic stranglehold, as well as some of their friends to ensure they would leave the server.
I find this not only to be disrespectful but I was astounded to find that several members of the community that were from an opposing group had found this tactic to be completely in good heart, and even though two admins voiced that such a tactic was in bad taste, it gained wide support within the thread that was posted, and was listed as an option to be used if said ex-admin was to remain "aggressive" within his RPs.
These case files are not the only things that I have received through various channels. Other files have shown similar practices and virtues being used to get players off the server, even if said players had done absolutely nothing wrong, and were never given a fair trial to question the accusations made against them. The majority of the practices which I have witnessed through numerous images and text dumps have shown that certain members of the staff will pick and target certain players, in the hopes of forcing them to leave the server or making them break down so they can ban them. It is horrible, and I cannot say that word and others enough to describe how I feel after reading roughly five pages worth of admin forum archives.
It is with a sore heart that has lead me to make this post. I am not here to start fights with the admins, but just here to get questions answered. Every player in the community deserves the chance to a fair trial, and deserves to know what is being said about them regarding anything going on in the Courthouse or simply in the admin forum.
Some people might be asking though what could be accomplished without simply opening the entire admin forum. It is with this that I have come with a few suggestions as to what could be done in order to improve transparency, as well as lower the amount of disrespect being dealt to certain players and groups behind closed doors. These suggestions and requests will be listed below...
[quote]1. "Hidden" posts that are currently used by the admin team should be removed, as they do not provide any sense of a fair trial for a player involved in a Courthouse case.
2. Threads that are within the admin forum that do not discuss server and gamemode sensitive information should be disclosed after one week of it's original post, even if the thread remains active within the admin forum.
3. Friends of banned community members should have the right to request files in the regards of their friends ban, as well as any activity regarding them in the RP forum.
4. Ingame logs need to become available to every community member. In order to ensure that players simply do not read the logs while activities are being partaken, I'd like to suggest that a thirty minute to one hour cooldown is enacted on log disclosure. As well as censoring of P.Radio frequencies.
5. With the admin archive subforum being made available for community members to read, I'd like to suggest the introduction of an area in which players can all rationally discuss the files that have been released, in order to promote conversation and debate on how things should be handled in FL.[/quote]
These suggestions may seem out there, but it might be the only way to prevent problems that may arise from any true leak being released into the open. I can tell you without even much though, that if the files that I have received through several channels were to be released
You have an anecdote for everything, Joe
Just like Dr Rockso, I have done it all.

Well, I'm a Senior Administrator there and he is basically just raging because his friend got demoted for abusing.
This led to him leaving and he decided that he still had the same authority as previously, however he did not.
tl;dr - He's mad that his friend got demoted.
PS - The DDoS shit (with Martin) had basically no evidence, and those whom actually DDoSed were demoted and banned until they apologized, after apologizing they were unbanned however completely banned from the staff (these were staff members inflicting the attack(s))
Due to Marcus banning me on the forums im glad you posted here, Im guessing he banned me for posting this.
The community is on a decline in quality, I always loved the players and most of the admins, Yes i was very pissed off for what happend and will remain moderately angry until something real happens.
Its good that what happend did happen, i'm not longer sitting on my ass playing games for 6 hours a day, like i used to.
Im moving on from this all now, probably better if i live a proper life rather than one in front of a screen.
Best of luck to most of you, sorry for my childish rage but i am still a young person :)
Too much community drama here on facepunch... Discuss it on the servers forum.

I know, right? These community drama threads keep popping up lately and unless your comm is extremely well known, i.e Cloud Sixteen, HellGamers level of popularity, then I doubt anyone here really cares, to be honest.
Like, no one is forcing you to play on these servers, I hope people know that. There's nothing to stop you from just moving on and playing elsewhere.

The problem with people staying with communities is usually all about a key person that they look up to / are good friends with. As soon as such a key person leaves, loads of people leave. I've seen it in my own community when I left, but also in other communities. They're basically dead, and if you ask one of the members why they are still there, the usual response you get is "Because my friends are here" or "I don't have anywhere else to go".
And another cause obviously is the fact that people don't want to start as a regular user on another server while they have admin on the shit community they are currently in.
Power > Quality of the community, according to loads.
Hello,
I am currently an Administrator on Predatorrealm, firstly I'd like to start off by saying what he Is doing Is trying to center this around him, when really what happened did not concern him, I don't see how by posting this on facepunch and creating drama and pointless threads here will achieve anything, about 1 hour ago you messaged me saying, " I have to delete you, I cannot be a part of anyone or anything predator realm" that really sounded childish and I think this whole situation Is very child like since It has already been dealt with and resolved, posting a complain about a community here shall achieve nothing.
Thanks,
Rob.
