What did the admin do:
At first I want to start off by saying that this is in no way a personal vendetta against Rang, and with making this report I understand the weight something like this can hold. With that being said, the points brought up in this report constitute a bigger issue that I believe needs to be addressed, for the good of the SCP-RP Community.
The current community consensus of the Senior Management Team is that the leader of the SMT team is not doing very much. My viewpoint is that the rest of the SMT team is picking up the slack. I see the Head Admins/Head of Staff doing things that the manager should be doing, and it has been that way for a little while now. The Community is led to believe this because of the seeming lack of playerbase communication and general updates to the server. He has not put out an announcement or flag up ping since June 19th; Nor has he interacted with very many people in the community besides Branch Administration. He seems unwilling to communicate outside his inner circle, and being a manager it is part of his job to communicate with the playerbase in order to better the server. This is distressing compared to previous management who were known to throw out flag up pings and general announcements almost daily. Due to this, the community's general opinion of SMT has plummeted significantly.
With that being said, there is a specific incident that is brought to mind. One morning a new job appeared on the server. This job was named [REDACTED], and was placed in the Staff category. This job was put in by Rangiatea, and to my knowledge nobody had been contacted or informed about this addition. This normally wouldnβt be a big deal, but Iβm going to list things about this job that made it an issue.
Players on the job were given the best weapons on the server.
Granted super-speed (Basically fastest job on the server)
Was given the highest level keycard
Held no actual authority in roleplay, but actively interfered roleplay scenarios
The only players who were allowed to play this job, were players known to be in rangs βinner-circleβ
This job was immediately met with backlash (for obvious reasons), and due to the backlash the job was stated to be βsuperadmins onlyβ. Obviously this job should have never been a thing in the first place, and served no other purpose than for Rang and his friends to have a good time. This degraded Rangβs reputation with the community, as this was an obvious and biased use of power.
The next point is a bit of a sensitive topic, but this individual is definitely a part of this report. If you are familiar with what is being discussed in this report, you likely know that Luxxy is a part of this as well. Rang is heavily biased towards her, and she has been involved with almost all of the bias situations that Iβve discussed. Itβs no secret that Rang and Luxxy are friends. However the issue doesnβt lie with their friendship, it lies with the blatant favoritism and rule breaking they do when they are together. Many players saw the staff report on Luxxy a few weeks ago, and the truth about that report is that Rang allowed her to blatantly break the staff handbook, and because of that, it set an example that other staff were allowed to do the same. Luxxy received no notable punishment for these actions, because as stated by Rookieblue βThe admin in question had been modeled by a member of SMT, and allowed to continue staffingβ. On a more recent note, Rang has bought Luxxy and himself a custom job. In my personal opinion, the manager of the server should not be buying his recently promoted Senior Admin a custom job, especially considering the previous reports of favoritism and bias. The job resembles the type of actions Rang previously allowed Luxxy to do prior to the staff report, which seems to be a work around.
What do you believe should happen to the admin: Due to the nature of this report, I don't know what actions I would suggest. I would just like this to be addressed and corrected.
Any extra information:
I wish not to cause any mass drama, or deliver hate towards Rang, however I would like these issues to be addressed for the betterment of SCP-RP. Even as a non-staff member I feel empathetic towards the staff team because I do not want them to feel discouraged and or upset by Rangs actions. Please do not start arguments in the thread, leave only +/-βs of your experiences and what this report may have brought to light.
