Suggestion Title: Change / Revert advertisements
Suggestion Description: Change (add more spots,) or revert how advertisements are created / scheduled. Alternatively, have the ability to repeat adverts every x minutes infinitely until cancelled or you leave the server.

Why should this be added?:
- It's very annoying have to go to the PLN building every time you want to advert something, which has lead to admittedly higher quality adverts, but a lot less of them.

What negatives could this have?:
- Lower quality adverts

What problem would this suggestion solve?: Less advertisements, and the difficulty / inconvenience of creating them

Literally the reason that people lowkey stopped adverting. Okay he argument is "Bad adverts by /advert!" Then enforce it harder?
I feel like we should revert it 100%
 
Although more people will create unrealistic adverts (staff members will have a bit more work to do), please bring back the old advert system. It's so annoying to go to the PLN Building every time you want to advert. Massive +1
 
The change of the system in how you have to make the advert now is pretty nice but I think it lacks some convenience in repeating your advertisements when they run out. We only have two spots that you need to physically visit and refresh your advertisements when you run out of advert slots in your given timespan, I'd say add a phone app but then these two locations become unused and not necessary anymore so I'm not sure what other way there should be to improve it other than to remove the limit altogether.

Of course it would be your own fault if you set a no limit advertisement that loops forever for as long as you are on the server (or terminate the advertisement) so maybe add a disclaimer if this does changes and maybe add a on-screen notification that your advertisement got posted as a reminder to not lose too much money.

The looping advertisements never work for me in general. I didn't even know you could enable them right now as the sliders never change anything.

You need to adjust both sliders. An advert can't repeat 0 times or every 0 minutes.
 
This is a time of great peace. There has been only 1 Advert blacklist since v6’s release.

No thanks.
With the old system, it was far too easy to blurt out anything at any time. Most players gave zero consideration to 2.9 and would throw up a “???” when their obviously bad advert would get deleted, followed by pushback and needless reports & educating people on what a good advertisement looks like. Even after creating a Help article and linking it after every deletion/blacklist, players just don’t seem interested in moderating themselves in this way.

The new system naturally requires adverts to be deliberate and thought out, you must traverse to the giant megaphone if you wish to shout into it.

There are so many other things for staff to be helping with & enforcing than policing whatever thought or grievance someone has and can be blurted out at any moment.
 
I don't think it should be reverted, although a rework for more choice/control would be nice. Options like more than one repeating advert, ability to cancel current repeating adverts etc would go a long way.
 
Or make it so the UI at the npc actually shows how the advert will look in the chat. if you actually take time and try to space things out nicely it lookes fucked up in the chat anyway
 
It was done because ya'll keep announcing to everyone, their kids and their pets that someone is being arrested for 10 years.
 
I like this new advertisement system.

Quality over quantity 100%

The inconvenience is totally worth it and I appreciate that factor because players who don’t actually have a good advertisement or idea won’t commute due to said inconvenience.

In regards to High Quality ads, I think maybe having a feature to renew your ad life-time digitally on your phone is fine so long as the as was initially paid for and registered at a PLN building. Then after that renewing it is just a click of a button on an app or a menu.

Pretty much this, an app would be cool to manage current ads and highly convenient and probably have the PLN used more for higher quality ads as it is less of a pain to have to constantly go back to redo them
