Recently in a bored thread, someone suggested I make BrightRP.
Now, I'm not a great ideas guy.
So, what I want to know is the features you'd want in a gamemode the exact OPPOSITE of DarkRP.
Confirmed Features:
-Name
-Ways to legally make money (More than just salary)
Thanks Guys, sorry if this doesn't belong here.

Names aren't allowed, DarkRP has them :quagmire:
a way to make money efficiently without spamming illegal items
Stop trying to compete with DarkRP would be a start.
I'll hopefully sum up everything into one easy quote... No rules, no admins, just players.
Why should people not try to compete with DarkRP? Surely creating gamemodes that try to better their predecessors is how things evolve and get better? If we simply settled for how gaming was 5 years ago we would still be playing very basic first person shooter's rather than discussing the possibilities of modding a gamemode which was originally a basic mod of the Source Engine? Correct me if I'm wrong.
Take DarkRP and have a look at it.
Ask yourself "How could this be a more immersive, realistic and fun experience?" and then make the changes and improvements. In the end it should barely look anything like DarkRP because DarkRP is a mess.

The problem is that people are throwing every amount of coding knowledge they have at trying to create a "better" cops vs robbers gamemode, and that in the long run is going to kill them.
PERP? Living on life-support and drama bullshit.
GModRP? The coder went on a religious zealot campaign against "DarkDM" in the hopes of attracting players. Ended up conducting massive server takeovers/raids on DarkRP servers which effectively shunned his name into bad light.
Every HL2RP/Serious RP gamemode is also dieing from the same endemic because they openly try to state, "We are better then DarkRP" yet they are just as bad if not worse in the scale of game development.
In order to even so much as compete with DarkRP, you would need to think differently on an almost radical scale. Get out of the Cops Vs Robbers ring, and attend for something differently.
An example of this in the MMO World is how so many people are trying to make World of Warcraft clones, so that they can beat World of Warcraft... Then you have games like CCP's EVE Online which is one of the only sandbox MMOs which remains true to it's word. The other being ArcheAge.
What's different about these two games to say WoW or Runescape? They both do something radically different. Players can actually control empires, players are able to make their own businesses and control their own fates, players are the creators of EVERYTHING.
That is something which Garry's Mod RP gamemodes lack. For the moment, admins create and destroy everything. Players are set on a darkened corridor with a small light at the end and expected to follow that exact path, and never be able to choose their own paths or make their own corridors to that light.
If you want an example of excellent game design in theory and concpet: GMStranded.
Add currency, more variety, and more things to do, and GMStranded would make every sappy ass DarkRP clone look like a pile of shit.

Thanks for opening my eyes.
Time to change my Hl2rp server.
Solly HL2RP - hey at at least we're better than DarkRP
What you should do, is go onto DarkRP as well as PERP and see what they did and how you can improve upon what they are doing. Even taking certain aspects from other games isn't necessarily bad.

Or just do everything the way it is NOT in Dark RP
