Police RP Server wide age limit (edited)

Recommended Posts

Edited vvv

I have put some more time and thought into this forum post I made and I realized it was immature of myself to blame everything on the younger players on this server. I was roleplaying on servers like this when I was 12 and I would've been heartbroken if somebody just kicked me off the server because of my age. Let me explain why I made this post.

I'm in the EMS department which has been very stressful on my patience. You have to be responsible for everyone that dies on the server and usually I'm the only EMS online so this becomes very overwhelming. Luckily I'm motivated to do my job correctly so I push through. This becomes even harder on me when I arrive on a scene and revive a disrespectful person that complains that I wasn't fast enough or I'm really bad at my job.

This drives me crazy because I'm already overworked but now I have to deal with ungrateful jerks that I spent my time going to help. So, I have now been running around the map helping people, having my ambulance stolen, getting complaints on something I can't control and getting shot for no reason for 2-5 hours. Than I have a little kid that comes into the chat singing sponge bob songs, giving me fake calls to respond to while other people actually need help, and doing things incorrectly in which I get blamed for.

That became my braking point and I noticed that a lot of the problems I have seen occur on the server has been created or instigated by the younger players. I thought it would be a good solution to add an age limit like most of the other roleplay servers. I did not realize at the time that this server built itself off of letting everyone play no matter your age, maturity, etc.

Sorry for wasting your time. Hopefully you can understand where I'm coming from. -Bing

P.S. Just realized there was a format for these posts, so I'm also sorry for not following that rule. I will make sure I follow it next time.

This is semi serious RP.

Everyone is welcome here.

If that person breaks the rules, then you report them.

 

I understand that but I just think it would be better if there was rules against immaturity because it negatively affects  the role play environment.

Who are you to say there should he a age limit?

It's a suggestion, because it works in most of the other rp servers and I think it would be helpful in this one too.

This post is utterly ridiculous, we have staff that control the server when players get out of line, and from what I have personally witnessed, the are older players tend to be mingier and more annoying. I think you are also forgetting that this is no longer just for play, Gaminglight is a business and it requires consumers to buy products from them to pay for the upkeep of their servers. Turning anyone away with a credit card will potentially lose them money and make it harder to run the servers.

1# 12 year olds can't have credit cards. 2# This is a suggestion based off of a problem I have had in the Police RP server.

I am pretty sure we have all heard the phrase "Mommy's credit card" before. Many parents hardly regulate the items children buy online. Excuse my wording as well I should have said "access to a credit card" I assumed it was obvious enough that was what I meant.

Lol just responding with the same attitude you replied with.

- First off, many people/children don't want to give out their age. Judging them based on voice is unfair

- A age limit would cut the community/server population in half

- Not very respectful or fair in total

Hey, this is just based off of my experience in the Police RP. I also have a young voice but you can also base their age off of maturity. Like for example I had a person with a young voice singing sponge bob songs during one of my shifts. That alone proves that was a little kid imo.

c'mon, its a game 

and if you want to expect all older players then dont expect it in GMOD

I think we should allow younger people but I don't think they should hold authority in the server. Like people under 14 shouldn't be in SWAT, NSA, etc.

Like Nimo mentioned, I have seen 12-13 year olds that have incredibly more maturity then much older people.

I agree there should be some exceptions . But overall most younger people are more immature than the older people. It's just how life works, when you're young you don't know right from wrong yet because that is based off of your experience in life. Like a 20 year old would have more life experience than a 10 year old. That's why age limits are on other servers.

Yeah but you could say the same about real life "it's not fair that a 12 yro has to wait till they are 16 before they can drive by themselves". I know some 13 year olds that can drive better than 40 year olds but that's not true for most 13 year olds so the law requires you to be 16 in the U.S. to drive by yourself. This is just one of many real life examples which there is an age limit implemented.

Thanks for all the replies, it appears that most people think the server should not have an age limit and I heard a lot of people speak out about it. (some nicer than others). I agree with a lot that you guys said but I think the server should be more strict when it comes to maturity. Because I doubt I'm the only one here that has had problems with the younger kids on the server.

I agree but it is the majority of younger kids that are immature and on most rp servers they have age limits so they don't have to deal with the younger kids because by default they are not mature enough for a professional role play environment.
