@Sam Thank you for looking into it. I appreciate the hard work you and everyone has put into LSPDFR.

I'm not entirely sure what question you're asking us. You can create a Discord that is LSPDFR related if you want, and I know numerous people on this forum have.
Our rules are still our rules though, but there's nothing stopping you advertising it in the positions set out by our guidelines. We don't make exceptions to those policies. 

Noticed I've put this in the wrong place, sorry!

Hi all,

0.4 is around the corner and the community is about to experience it's biggest and best update yet. I've read another post regarding the position on an official discord and I agree firmly with the teams position, What I'm interested in is the team position on an unofficial discord. I'm going to spitball some points and then hopefully get an answer overall. This is assuming they're not outright undesirable to the staff team in which case fair enough.
 
the discord would have to clearly state that it's unofficial in nature. the discord would state no affiliation with G17 Media. the discord would have an explicit set of rules mirroring the professionalism on the forums. the discord will not be advertised on the forums unless via profile or signature, and within reason.  
I ask as given the right amount of patience, commitment and some common sense with regards to the rules, an unofficial discord would thrive, allowing people to come together with members of the community. And although direct liaison with the team is impractical and time consuming, a member of staff would be more than welcome to be present in order to ensure the above criterion is met.

To summarise, if a staff member can provide an answer to the above four points that's all i intend to get from this thread and it can be closed, archived or taken round the back of the shed and shot. If you want to give a blessing to go ahead and try in the meantime, much obliged!

Thanks.

 

It's not really an unofficial thing if we get involved with it though, is it?  On the topic itself, it's not like we have said no to having an official LSPDFR Discord Server.  The explanation given was simply us stating that the one that we do have currently isn't public.  That could change.

that would be great sam if it had rules from keeping it going bananas from inpatient people. maybe look into something after the release of 0.4 have a good day 

You'll see why shortly 😉

LSPDFR Community and Whoever it may Concern,
 
I am a member of this site since September 13,2013.In that time i shared round a bout 50 Files.Overall it should be more than 120 vehicles.It was an awesome time.I want to thank everybody who supported me in this time.A lot of people messaged me why my stuff is no longer avaible.So im gonna answer this here.You deserve it.I apologize for some missunderstanding.Im from Germany and only had school english but im gonna try my best.

There was a person (im not gonna say the name) who uploaded a part in the Developer Section.He didnt knew who was the original author was and still released it.I told him in the comments how he could dare to do such a disrespect move to the author.That comment got deleted by a Admin.So i was frustated and commented with : Nice that my comment got deleted... I got warned to stop commenting on it.But i didnt.Some people will say its your fault but i cant take this disrespect to the real author so i posted a thumbs down.That was the reason why i got a warning point.Im not banned or something but i decided to hide my files from there.Some of you are moddeling on your own and you may got a feeling in what a bad state the Modding community is.There is a huge disrespect on the work of others.I understand that admins are also people and cant remove everything within a sec.But however i dont want to attack any admins.Only the person who uploaded it.But for doing that i put my stuff down.Some of you may think thats completly overreacted.Maybe it is.But i dont want to be a part of an Toxic community anymore.Stuff like this is the reason why people leave.I also did it to show that enough is enough.Respect others work.I know Im not god and cant change the world.But i dont want to take that.This site doesnt deserved this.Alot of people put so much love in creating this site.I want to thank them.Maybe we can get back to what this site should be.A place where we can do what we all love.Modding and playing this Video Game.Help each other if there are problems.I know that still happens.But there is more toxic stuff around than good.This is maybe a part of this community.But if so,i dont want to be a member of that.Most of us are all adults.Lets keep it like this.I dont want to say that i never was chlidish.But most people are.So,like i said you deserved a statement.There it is.I hope that something changes and i can Unhide my files again.Im Still gonna post some ingame pictures.If you want to get some more informations about stuff i do at the moment or also from others.Join my Discord.
-link removed- .Just to make it clear to the Admins.I dont try to make ad for my server for *stealing* members.Its only for people who still want to be in contact with me.Again thank you ALL for this journey-I hope that this isnt the end.If you are still interested in my stuff hit me up on discord.Check my profile for Infos

Dont go and offend anyone.
Cheers

With all the talk about LSPDFR 0.4, it's been a little while since we've provided a general update on our community.  Of course, LSPDFR 0.4 is our main priority at the moment and we'll have more to say about it shortly, but we thought it important to also address and announce a couple of things regarding our community.
 
What our Community stands for
 
Before anything else, I'd like to take a moment to reflect on who we are, as people that run this website, and as a community.
 
LCPDFR was founded, back in 2009, simply because I thought it'd be a fun thing to do.  To play as the police in GTA IV.  It was an idea, ambitious for its time, and nothing more.  I worked on LCPDFR because it was fun, I published it because I thought others might also enjoy it.  LCPDFR has come a long way since then, it has evolved from one person's topic on a forum, to its own website, to its own forum, to its own community.  We've spanned two games, our reach has grown massively, our community is approaching 300,000 registered members.  The amount of work that goes into developing LSPDFR alone is staggering - the time that we've spent on it is measured not in days, weeks or months, but years.  Likewise, the effort required to keep our website online is vastly underestimated - in the past month we've served around 30 terabytes of download traffic alone, and have done all of this despite persistent, targeted denial of service and hacking attacks against us.  To put this in context, if you were to serve 30 terabytes of data through Amazon Web Services, it'd cost you $3,000 a month - and that's just one month of download traffic. 
 
Why do we do this?  Because it's fun.  We love developing our community, we love developing our mod, and we love that other people - complete strangers, from all over the world, from countries you've probably never heard of, from all walks of life... we love that they love LSPDFR.  Our community has achieved incredible things: we've created an entire gaming phenomenon and we've developed things that nobody ever thought would be possible.  Our members have done more than simply play games or make mods: we've fought hand-in-hand against corporate giants (and won), we've transformed peoples' entire lives by sparking new careers and we've been covered everywhere from massive YouTube channels to mainstream media publications.  Heck, we've even triggered out of touch government ministers in Australia.
 
That's not the whole story, though.  Sometimes we are the story.  Sometimes we make mistakes.  We've had catastrophes, like the time where we had a hyped countdown on the website only to reveal a private testing version of LCPDFR that nobody could access.   Our first ever livestream had to be rescued by Steve and Jeff after it started with Prophet driving a train around Los Santos and infamously stating "this is not the preview for LSPDFR 0.3" while our community manager could do nothing but watch helplessly after being accidentally disconnected.  We've messed up releases, we've announced things too quickly, and sometimes we've not announced things at all.   
 
Yet, despite all of this.  Nine years later, we're still here.  We're still making mods, we're still developing this community, and we've stuck true to our principles the entire time:
Our community is open to all. We treat members equally regardless of their status. Everything is completely free of charge, with no catches.  
Why?  It's not about fame, it's not about money, it's not about status.  It's about love.  We love LCPDFR, we love LSPDFR, and we love our community.  We don't think that modding should be hidden in private Discord servers.  We don't think that modding should be something people pay for.  We don't think that modding should be an ego boost.
 
We just think that modding should be fun.  It should be open, and it should be free.  That's what we stand for, and that's what we do.
 
How you can get involved
 
Last year, we opened up applications to join our Community Team for the first time.  This resulted in a couple of new faces joining our moderation team and upon reflection, we think it's a good change in approach from previously handpicking staff members ourselves.  We've decided to open these applications again, and would invite anyone who is interested in volunteering some of their free time to moderating our community to apply by following the link below.  Our volunteer Community Moderators are a vital part of everything that we do, and it wouldn't be possible to maintain the community without them.

Dont know whats wrong with this guy who created this topic.You only make a thread when a shooting or something bad happens.Why so Sensationalism.But lets dont forget that people who does shit like this arent human.No religion should feel that pain.WE ALL ARE HUMANS

This sounds amazing! We probably need a clean install of GTA (do we?) which is all set up and done. But now I'm really in the mood to go out policing again, but that would mean I need to reinstall again soon. What to do, what to do...

Exactly. In fact, gas tanker... there's a good idea. 
I plan to eventually use the yachts and possibly even aircraft carrier, as well as the ships in port, as areas to have callouts take place in. 

I get it it. so, Illegal importing, drug trafficking, illegal car exporting, (human trafficking, (I dont know about that)) oil boat tampering, Gas tanker hijacking..

coastal callouts sounds like a different name for lifeguard callouts... Baywatch comes to mind here...
could have drownings, shark bite (?), alcohol poisoning (?) EMS related but lifeguards should always know CPR :) ), lost child (dont know if there are child peds), dog bites (?), jellyfish sting (?), suicide attempt of a cliff somewhere maybe (?), I dont know how you would implement this, but its a start

Yes, and this is further evidenced by a spike in purchase of guns every time a mass shooting hits the news. 

I am so glad you brought up Chicago because it's a talking point I'm well versed in refuting:
Chicago does have an extraordinary amount of shootings and they have, as you so eloquently put it, "the most strictest gun laws in the nations." The Chicago Police reported that at least 60% of guns confiscated from criminals in Chicago were from out of state. Many from Indiana. A state with far less restrictive gun laws right next to Chicago, which means criminals simply cross the border, buy the gun, go back across the border, and commit crimes.

https://www.dnainfo.com/chicago/20140528/chicago/majority-of-illegally-owned-guns-first-bought-out-of-state-cops-mayor
 
 
There is an eerily similar situation in Boston, again 60% of guns confiscated come from outside the state.

Government goes rogue? Seriously. Ok. First of all, the chances of a government going rogue is so low it's laughable. Second of all, I wish you luck with your pistol against a Tank or an attack helicopter. That's ridiculous.
 
I addressed your gun free zone idea in my last argument and you introduced no new evidence or analysis so I won't even bother responding to that point. 
 
 
"just remember the government is about control not safety"
 
Just remember, parents lost kids, kids lost friends, etc. etc. etc. There are not "300 million gun owners" This is just further evidence that you have no idea what you're talking about. According to the guardian, "Only 22 to 31% of Americans adults say they personally own a gun." and "Just 3% of American adults own a collective 133m firearms – half of America’s total gun stock." This is not an armed populace, it is an overarmed few. 
Source: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017/nov/15/the-gun-numbers-just-3-of-american-adults-own-a-collective-133m-firearms
 
 
I'd also like to point out that I use sources for my arguments, and you are just rambling, so there is not much for me to reply to, but I'd like to at least share the info with anyone who cares to see a different side of the argument.
 
 
 
I've become so numb to them

i'm just waiting for a car with a working arrow board! why is there no car with one yet

Thanks man. Appreciate the positive feedback!

I'm not part of this conversation but I really love when I see the community get together like this and help each other out, you're a good person @Thero we need more people like you :)

Is it just me or does everyone have the feeling this will be a Christmas present from the amazing team working on ELS, if so its well and truly worth waiting for!

Also on another note would we be able to get like a list for light extra's slots so modelers like myself can start mapping their vehicles to the config of ELS so we can release the models straight up when ELS is released. its a big ask but it would be greatly appreciated but i also understand if you cant
 

Although i understand everyone's hype for the mod, I will ask for people to refrain from asking for release dates or teasers. These will be released when the developers feel that they're ready to do so. If anyone has an issue with this then they can PM me and we can discuss it further. However everyone please don't go off topic and respond to people asking for release dates. Keep to the discussion of ELS V.
