Vehicle keys are stored in variables that get reset when you leave the game. It's not so much a bug that you don't keep them, it's moreso that they were never designed to be persistent. It's possible to have them save in stats, but then you run into the issue where you start accumulating tons of keys for vehicles that are not in the server anymore. There are certainly ways to implement it properly but we just never looked into it.

Would it? 2 people called Slingshot a cunt and nothing happened to them. Gen called all staff out for having "20 IQ" and nothing happened to him. We're more chill than you might think. Let's not derail this thread any further and keep comments relevant to the topic at hand.

I can see wanting to remove temporary bans ahead of time, but those who were permanently banned had a good reason for it. Either they were hacking or constantly breaking the rules to the point that there was no return for them. I see no benefit in removing the permanent bans. Sure, our population might spike up, but the server would be a cesspool of trolling and hacking which wouldn't make it any more fun than it is now. Smidge Griffkin has suggested that we review past bans and decide on a case by case basis who we will forgive. I think this is a good compromise.

These are old bans. I'll have this sorted soon.

No.. I don't even play Opfor so I don't see how you could have came to that conclusion.

Remember that this post is about providing constructive criticism for the staff team so let's try to keep it on topic as such. If you have a specific issue that requires attention, that's what staff complaints are for.

Pretty sure a lot of people tend to use "OP vehicles and other stuff". Staff have no more access to vehicles and gear than a regular player does. In my experience, the ratio of players using heavily armed or armored vehicles is about the same whether they're staff or not.

I take a bit of offense to this. I've been extremely busy this month since taking over as Director again because of the school year wrapping up, but that doesn't mean I won't be working on the mission once I have the free time to do so. I've got a lot of things on my to-do list in regards to server development. Also, adding the R-73 to the Ka-52 is a simple thing to do. It's not hard at all. It's just a matter of whether we decide to do it or not. Yes - there are a lot of things on the server that require work. We'll get there, but it will take time.

Ranks, whitelisting, etc - we've been over it many times. I agree with it to a certain extent. There needs to be more organization among the factions to create a better experience for other players. However at the same time, it needs to be loose. Ranks should not determine the type of gear people get access to, rather instead they should get access to what they are qualified for using. Ranks would instead have an actual role in either supervising and commanding the faction or assisting in managing it - thus also moving that burden off of staff. People seem to associate ranks with gear or paychecks (a la JG Gaming or RISE) however in my opinion, that's not how it should be set up.

Relevant:

Arma 3 server remains open, it's just not under the TLX name anymore - it's split off and ran by Unknown. See https://tlx-gaming.com/topic/980-time-has-come/

It was great having you on the staff team. See you around!

If we enforced that we'd probably end up shutting out half of our community.

Has the Steam integration for registering and logging on been working for everyone here on the site? I've been getting conflicting reports as to whether it works or not, so I'd like to see what the general consensus is.

Battlemetrics was set up for the server in February, so if you played before that but then stopped until 24 days ago, that's probably why it's showing you joined just then. Another key difference is that Gametracker tracks people by name whereas Battlemetrics is looking at account IDs instead (Steam ID / Battleye GUID).

He has nearly 40 more hours than you do.

TFAR will be used for Arma 3 since that's already going to be a modded server. It's not being considered for Arma 2.

I don't really think it's appropriate to give negative rep to someone because they filed a player report against you. https://tlx-gaming.com/topic/733-masten-the-lord-of-vdm/ With this in mind, I don't intend on counting this against Smidge Griffkin's application.

Not sure why you revived a month old thread just to say that. He clearly wasn't quoting you or even talking to you, he was jokingly talking about how this kick giveaway is abusing powers.

Good evening everyone, It is with great sorrow that I announce my resignation from the position of Director, effective this week. There is a possibility that I may stick around behind the scenes however this isn't certain. I have not yet determined who will be taking my place, however I have faith in whoever steps up to the plate to restore the server's reputation and bring us forward to Arma 3 Takistan Life. Unfortunately, my time to work on the server recently has been slim to none. My actions, or lack thereof, have left the community neglected while development has gone stale. Life for me outside TLX and gaming in general has become increasingly busy and demanding of my attention. It will only become busier as summer rolls along and I begin working full time. I have tried my best to live up to the player's standards but I regretfully can't meet them, and therefore I feel it is in the community's best interests to pass it along to someone who can. A lot needs to be done to get things in shape and I don't have the motivation to do it all myself. I've enjoyed the past 3 years as a member of the TLX community, and I'm glad I had the chance to own the server for the past half year. It has been a pleasure working and playing with many new people. This isn't the end of my time here but it will be an extended period of absence. I will be eager to see the direction the server takes with a newly appointed Director and I will gladly pitch in when possible. Giovanni

He's been banned. Thanks for reporting.

It's in the master array. I thought I fixed this a long time ago but it's possible I missed some items...

Being a long time player doesn't excuse your childish behaviour, especially the spamming you've been doing on the forums since being banned leading to us revoking your posting privileges. Ban is not being preemptively lifted. You will wait the 14 days.
