What is the absolute worst experience you've ever had in GMod? Could be admins, bad servers, Lua nightmares, etc.
This thread is not being made for the purpose of witchhunting servers or players, this is just to share bad experiences.
Being a owner of a DarkRP server with 2 others, spending several Months on learning lua and creating/editing stuff to make the server looks nice.
And then getting banned everywhere and no contact possible anymore for the reason "unfriendly to us".
Right after the kicked me out they never did anything for the server anymore, they lost their developer and person who keept everyone working. The server died after a few weeks. Deserved
I was playing on a moat.gg TTT server, not interracting much with other players, when i got banned for a whole week for "hateful conduct".
Thinking WTF just happened here, i tried to contact the moderator that banned me and got no answers.
So i got on their forums, i made an account and stated my case on the ban appeal section, but still no answers.
The next thing i did was that i went on their discord, trying to privitely message an admin but i could not do that, so i just posted a message on a general discussion chat stating that i already made an appeal on there forums but that since i got no answers and that i thought it was a genuine error from the moderator that banned me it would be nice if someone could review my case.
Turns out i missed on a rule, if you try to talk about your ban to anybody after making a ban appeal, that's considered to be" wrongful publicity" and you will eat your ban no matter what.
But where it get completely retarded is the reason i got banned, well turns out after a little discussion with a moderator, he said to me that "Fa**, Ni** and Ret*** are three words that are heavily punished." , i understood for nigger and fagget since its an american server after all, but retard ?
The reason for my ban ? I happened to have said "well, that was retarded" talking about a broken minigame we just played, that's it, no insults directed toward another played, the simple use of the "retard" prefix taken totally out of context was enough to get me banned a full week.
That's the shittiest experience i got with staff members of a gmod server, i tried to explain the ridiculousness of the situation to the only moderator that answered my calls, but the only thing i got was "that's the rules my dude" alongside with this shitty smug lenny face ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
tbh...not so bad..you could go back after just one week and you messaged everyone everywhere and making the topic even more complicated
Sure, because getting banned for a week for no valid reason on a server you go on a daily basis is not infuriating at all.
But hey i guess you're above that, good for you.
being banned 1 week for saying those 3 words might be too long, maybe not. maybe it could have been 1 day. the mod decided that so..
Have you even read what i said ? I didn't said the holy trinity of bad words i was banned for saying a gamemode was retarded.
I joined a server that had a cosmetics system
in roleplay rolled up to a trial mod and said he looked ridiculous wearing that pink bike helmet
he proceed to physgun me and throw me across the map
sounds like good server team
Joined General HeX's server and was greeted with a lengthy ban and had my gmod installation ruined.
Later found that my data folder was wiped and all of my dupes had been replaced with penis dupes :/
Playing darkrp
Roleplay servers on garrys mod is the worst idea anyone could come up with.
I actually had a good experience on a darkrp server ruined by a ruleslawyer mod. I was using one of the custom jobs in a way that was not strictly enforced by the rules. Basically, using a radio announcer more like a showman building an escape room style building for people to go through. A lot of work went into it and people loved it and thought it was a really fun idea. I even checked with the mods if it was okay. However, this one mod banned me for playing outside of job descriptions. Not fun!
Worst experience I've had was a few years back, I happened to join a DarkRP server to check it out with a few friends. Apparently I ended up missing reading a rule on how something worked, and got dragged to a roof and yelled at. I explained what happened and what I thought, the staff member understood and was about to let me go, and then the Owner comes in (Apparently he was known to abusive as hell, but guess no one spoke of it) and screams at me for insulting his server before spamming my IP and then permanently banning me.
Best owner award goes to that dickhead!
After returning from GMod after a few years of hiatus to visit some DarkRP Wire servers and I can already say I hate the donator system that engaged warp drive, RAID binds, police with the enforcement compared to the fortitude of wet bread, manual sized rules, padded tools and prop whitelists that even a toddler can't hurt themselves with, rule tap-dancing, and every god damn person with a ego so far up their ass they don't realize they're the reason they make this gamemode an absolute chore now.
Yup thats General Hex for you.
He even had a payload that would fuck up your steam friends list
