Hello,

I have been offered the position of Community Manager. I have decided to accept this.

This may be unprecedented as previous Community Managers have been given the rank after being high up within the staff team, and obviously, I have not. The rank will only have the permissions necessary for the role and nothing of administrative nature outside of basic moderation of chat related stuff. I will not answer reports and will not resolve in-game situations. I will be able to deal with help requests but that is the extent.

I obviously have previously had a history of toxicity and this will not continue in any way, I already have realised toxicity is not the way to act on a Garry's Mod server and it is ridiculous. I will also as community manager try to rid the community of this toxic mindset and to try to encourage people to remember there is a difference between IC differences and OOC differences.

I have the opinion that the issue with the player base isn't old players getting bored and leaving but rather new players not sticking around. We have many new players join every day however we do not retain this and it is also going to be my focus to increase in the influx of new players. I have several plans to enact this and I have discussed this with the senior staff team. One such plan will be to create a server trailer, more information will follow regarding this however I intend to release details over the next week. Another idea is more roleplay events (example below), less of gun games and office raids (which of course will still happen occasionally) and more like the events seen yesterday. Events designed to encourage roleplay rather than turn the server into a death match for 15 minutes.

Any suggestions you have for the community please just DM me directly and I will do my best to implement if suitable.

Thank you.

Why should staff encourage roleplay, roleplay should emerge from players interactions not from staff forcing it that's just a temporary fix for 2 hours even less depending on the "RP situation", maybe the staff team should focus on fixing the rules that actively discourage any form of roleplay

If you think certain rules should be changed to facilitate this, maybe consider making a suggestion to change these?

The server in the current state does not encourage natural roleplay. At the current time, I personally feel artificial roleplay needs to be pushed to encourage organic roleplay. I understand what you mean but as @nutrient10 says, please do suggest some rule changes.

It's a bigger issue that doesn't just stem from 1 or 2 rules it would require an entire rewrite of the rules and a community reconsideration of how the game mode should be played since currently all you do is drive around, grow drugs, and shoot people and that's mostly due to the nature of the rules that limit everything else
 
Read what I replied to nutrient, also it's not my job to make changes to the rules that's the staff teams job to do, this issue isn't a new arising problem it's been a problem for a while now, considering the fact that there is an "RP is dead" post every other week also there have been suggestions to fix these issues that have been ignored because the view of how the server should be played is so fixed.

Unfortunately, if you do not state the rules you believe need changing then I literally have no clue as to what you're referring to. I really do want to help make change but if you have a serious issue you need to expand on it to help me understand how to fix it.

Like I mentioned in my previous post the problems don't stem from 1 or 2 rules it's the entirety of the rules and the view of how the game should be played is so 1 dimensional it's insane - everything needs to be completely reconsidered.
 
Completely unexpected, one of the biggest surprises to happen on PERP in a long while tbh, But its a welcome one.

Glad to see that you know what you're doing in the long run. Community manager is a pretty big responsibility.
