Whats up it's ya boy, GM Nate AKA one of the most toxic people y'all tolerate, and today id like to talk about the forum echo chamber and the divide between us toxics and y'all sticklers. Now I'm an oldschool Gmod player. Back in my day if you saw a porn spray you'd just be glad it only featured adults. If someone called you a slur, you'd RDM them til they go somewhere else. If you talked shit to staff they'd spam slap you for 0 damage until you flew off the map. If you banned the wrong sweaty kiddo he might DDOS the server down every hour for a week just because there's literally nothing else going on in his life. If you made a forum post you'd be ridiculed endlessly and eventually you'd either have to become staff so you can slap anyone who talks shit, or go somewhere else. Was any of this good? Probably not, but that is because at the core Gmod players are not good people. Now I gotta say there is a very notable divide between the regulars who use the forums and the ones who don't. Earlier today one person submitted evidence of another mass RDMing 3 people. He RDMed two guys who didnt care at all then the third guy shot him for RDMing and also got killed, like a scrub, and the third guy took it to the forums calling it mass. Everyone on the server at the time was relentlessly ridiculing the reporter and I found it funny that someone would be salty enough to go report when they basically attacked a detective and got rekt. I was kind of amazed to see that everyone on the forum post basically felt exactly the opposite of everyone who was in the game. Everyone in the game was talking shit to the reporter, everyone on the forums was agreeing the reportee should get banned. It's pretty evident that the forums are an echochamber of the most sensitive players, and y'all wonder why staff are so disliked. They are out of touch with the majority of players on the server.
What's the solution? You could just keep strong-arming us toxics til we go somewhere else. Alternatively, you could start treating the game like a game and not a job/courtroom/place to regain a sense of control that you've lost IRL. Does that feel like a personal attack? What can I say, I'm toxic....

Could also abide by the rules or be banned bc that works too. There's really no disconnect either lol. People are just labeling other people or staff "soft" because they simply disagree with what you "toxics" are doing.
Ok so let me make one thing clear. That player you are referring to did in fact mass. Three of the players she shot were not kosed and she shot and damaged all 3 first. The player even said that she was killing anyone who came into the vent, therefore claiming it before overtime which isn’t allowed. I’m not going to argue because that is what happened. Everyone who was talking shit to the reporter should not because that can borderline on harassment if you keep it up and if the player is bothered by it Im pretty sure.

Stuff like this is and people like you are why TTT has been and probably always will be considered as a shithole by many. When you join the server, you are accepting those rules it's like the Terms and Conditions but on a smaller scale.

"BACK IN MYYYY DAY" bullshit is lowkey hilarious because it relies on the fact that anyone cares about how things were done 'back in your day'
No one does. There are other servers to be toxic on, go there, we have a set of rules and abide by them here. The majority of people frequenting this server aren't toxic, it's just a silent majority while the few toxic people yell constantly so it seems like there are more of them.
Just go elsewhere if you have a problem. You already ragequit the discord because you were backtalked, so you can just stop pretending to be so hard LMAO, it's a game bro

Servers have rules regardless. Staff are pretty much there to make it so the game is fun for everyone not just toxics. You shouldn't shame people for reporting someone they feel deserves it. This thread seems more like you're upset you can't get away with the toxicity you used to on other servers.
You're pretty cool to play with and chat with but this was a bad take Imo.

Rant time because I'm tired of people going on factually incorrect tangents.
TTT used to be way more strict whenever I first started staffing. In fact I'll even admit at times this particular team is more lenient. People back in the day would just ban and not care, example would be past admins. Every year we get this cycle of players who think they're above everything and they turn into toxic degenerates. It isn't new and it will likely never stop. We're not going to just let that run rampant though. You break the rules, you eventually get banned. It is literally that simple. You can dish out whatever hate you'd like, but there is a set of guidelines that staff follow in certain situations. Discretion is an iffy area, but most of the judgements I've seen have been correct.
The hate hard on that people have for staff right now is egregious. You play stupid games you win stupid prizes man.
Also would like to say that I will personally start punishing people who go out of their way to harass members of mine and Nicol's staff team or our players. Plain and simple, fed up with it.

I think you're a little backwards with who is the "sensitive" in all this
