Now, don't get me wrong because I have only been around since late April 2017, so I'm not exactly sure what the community was like before then in terms of playercount and cancer.
I think as the community grows, more things need to be taken into consideration regarding breakage of rules, etc. I think the problem is that a lot of people try to bend the rules, and that affects a large playerbase. Ex: Raindancing. I think it's quite obvious that running back and forth with an assault rifle in your hand and still being able to hit a target spot on is completely and utterly unrealistic, thus falling under the rule of Realistic Actions. However, by people still raindancing, it caused a massive outburst of salt and people still raindancing. Because of this, the rule about raindancing basically went away and was never really enforced, although clearly it was not realistic at all.
Now, rate my post dumb if you think you can raindance irl and I'll come right back and ask for a video of you doing it, or anyone doing it for that matter. It cannot be done. Right, let's move on.
In the United States, a law can no longer be enforced when it does not meet the standards of the public. For example, if a new law is passed or an old law is still around, if the public does not react well to this and fail to abide by the law, cops can't just arrest entire cities of people at once. This law is no longer enforceable, and therefore should be removed/changed in order to meet the general public's needs. I am not referring to specific people in the public, but the general public as a whole. (Don't come at me and say heroin is a huge law that is broken because that is broken overtime, and not a huge portion of the public break that law.)
Ok, now to my final statements. Perp, from what I have seen, has gone downhill in terms of realism. I think people are more focusing on themselves rather than the roleplay of other (YOU RUINED MY IMMERSION). If you look at videos of DOJ RP on FiveM, you can see actual roleplay. Specifically, if you watch a certain video by Bay Area Buggs when he drives a tank around town, he specifically states it's just not realistic and that it ruins the roleplay for others. On Perp, people focus more on "How can I get shit tons of money" or "How do I do this to benefit myself, even if it isn't realsitic". If the community as a whole, or just the general consensus of people start thinking about not only themselves but the roleplay of others, I think the community will altogether be better and become a gmod server that isn't cancer.
I'm not saying you can get rid of rulebreaks as a whole, and I'm not saying you can make the server 100% realistic, but little steps go a long way. There are always going to be little kids or teens with no life that want to go on gmod servers and just troll for absolutely no reason, and there is nothing we can do to stop it besides make F6's and ARs. However, if the regulars on the server just start thinking more towards realism and roleplay standards, it could lead to some awesome situations that make the entire community benefit.
If you rate this post dumb or anything negative for that matter, please either comment why or reply to me because I would love feedback.
