Sparkle Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 As much as it hurts to do this, I feel as though this is the best way of handling the current situation SCP-RP is in. Although I do believe Coltable has great potential for the server, since the leaving of his friend group, he has shown negligence of the server and has seemingly been hurting for the server. His lack of communication as well as lack of all-together doing anything has shown to cause harm to the community, as currently most if not all of the community is unhappy with the current state of the server. Despite Coltable being made aware of this several times in not only Site Administration, but HCMD and other forums posts such as the recent one, he has continued to neglect this fact and continued to act the way he has. This is nothing out of ill-manner, but with the current state of the server as well as other communities within Gaminglight, I believe it is about time this is addressed and corrected. I am only voicing the opinions of what I have heard from a majority of Community members, and I am only seeking this be fixed before more severe, permanent changes are seen within the community. Your In-game: Sparkle Your SteamID: STEAM_0:1:59197292 The admin's name in-game: Coltable The admin's steam name (If you know it): [GL] Coltable What did the admin do: NOTE: This is not a personal attack on anyone in the SCP-RP Community. This report is for the general benefit of the SCP-RP Community, on Behalf of Members of HCMD, SA, and O5. Ever since the leaving of Coltable’s close friends, Coltable has been shown to completely neglect the server and has only been causing harm. For the past almost 2 months now, Coltable has been providing false information to HCMD and Site Administration as well as switching up on ideas/suggestions and unnecessarily shutting down or completely degrading the quality of phenomenal ideas on the server. As well as this, Coltable has made a limited presence on the server, Discord, Teamspeak, etc. and several SMT members have even stated that it will take Coltable a few weeks to get anything done. Currently, Coltable has been chalking up his lack of presence due to school and other real life situations, however many community members severely doubt this is the case as it has been ongoing for a few months at this point on top of Battlemetrics showcasing Coltable having time to play other games. Additionally, if Coltable was concerned about the quality of SCP-RP content, he would find substitutes to speak to HCMD, or SA (about said content) on his behalf. Branch Updates have been delayed weeks due to unavailability, or unwillingness to discuss terms about new ideas, and workshop items. Although I do believe that the presence of a Server Manager in game isn’t a necessity, his presence in all other aspects still needs to meet the servers demands, which he has shown to not be the case. The server has had a lack of content updates as of late making it incredibly boring, as well as a multitude of suggestions with phenomenal community support, that could also possibly fix the server, have been totally neglected by Coltable. Which I, as well as many other Community members believe, has caused the recent decline in the server. Evidence of the abusive action(s) (REQUIRED): Several Site Administration, HCMD, and even SMT members have disclosed that Coltable has been taking suggestions slowly recently, which is no problem to an extent. However, Coltable has been seen completely ghosting these members of the community which is crucial to its success. In addition to that, Security had a recent job concept called the Security HIRU unit. At the time of its creation, a vote was said to have started among Site Administration. Following the timeline, some Security CMD members paid for an add-on to be edited to server standards to which Coltable agreed and looked into stating it would be a great addition. Although these Security CMD members were aware that this was not fully confirmed to be added to the server, and that they shouldn’t be spending the money, Coltable stated that it would and that it was fine. Shortly after, Security HCMD posted their branch update including the addition of this job and raid. However, the branch update was completed, and Security saw no light of this new job addition. When Security HCMD asked Coltable as to why, Coltable stated that Site Administration entirely voted against it despite it having no negative votes and only positive votes. Once Security HCMD learned this information, Coltable completely started ghosting them when asked about it, and the job addition was put on hold. On top of this, Coltable has shown a constant lack of communication with Site Administration and HCMD as of recent, causing situations to occur that shouldn’t and general confusion among these members of the community. A full list of previous issues between Coltable include: • Neglect/Favoritism to certain Branches. I get that Coltable was a CI Military main, however there has been an obvious increase in Combat-Oriented Content over the past several months. But a stability and lack of new content for RP Branches. Addition to this, Colt has decided to edit or change jobs with no prior notice to the branches High Command. Examples of this are RnDs Bio-Engineers getting the P008 removed or Maintenance’s Containment Specialist not getting their speed from the Maintenance branch update. All with no contact prior to the change. • There has been neglect on aspects being added to the server that also support Combat Branches, but are damaging to RP Branches (the best example is the fact the D5 can test on SCPs now, destroying the entire purpose of Research. This should have been dealt with instantly with denial. There is no good reason that an MTF Branch focussed on GOI are testing on SCPs.) • Lack of Communication with HCMD, SA, O5, and Staff. (sometimes even to the extent of ghosting, or ignoring the pleas). • Delaying Updates because of lack of availability. To put it in the previous words of Igneous in the Hotshot report, when Igneous himself had to back Coltable up in other discussions: Quote “This is by far the most important rebuttal that Hotshot made, and that others are making in his defense. Nobody in this entire community will fault Hotshot for having a life, having bills to pay, and having shit to take care of. Every single one of us does. That isn't the important part. If Hotshot does not have the time to handle his responsibilities here, then I pose the important question, why would he not resign? If you all are not aware, there was a time in my life where I was in a similar position as Hotshot. I was mostly unavailable, unable to perform updates and duties, and I felt like absolute shit about it. I felt like I was letting my server down, and instead of sticking around for months and months being unavailable, I resigned. That is the mature thing to do. I took an LOA, and when I came back I still found myself unable to perform, and therefore I took it upon myself to leave for the betterment of the server. At this point, this is the thing that bothers me the most. I find it INCREDIBLY disrespectful how Hotshot has continued to let the server go astray while being majorly unavailable to do his tasks. " "I will never fault somebody for what they have to do in real life. But if Hotshot knows, (and has known for months), that he cannot perform his tasks, he should not still be here. He has a responsibility to the server, and to this community, and if he can no longer perform it due to real life responsibilities, then this should not be dragged out any longer." What do you believe should happen to the admin: Coltable should be reminded of the duties as Server Manager, and attempt to correct his actions. If Coltable is unable to contribute to the SCP-RP Community, due to lack of time, or ability, then the ability of Coltable as Manager should be re-evaluated and dealt with as needed. Any extra information: This report should not have any controversy or stir anything up. Please refrain from arguments, as it adds nothing to the report. Simply put, the server is in need of a Manager who is present, and Coltable has recently been showing that he is not that. That being said, please only respond with your personal experiences to prevent any unnecessary situations from arising. Yes, I am aware that there is a ClickUp form for this content, but this is more of a community situation, and reporting a Manager to themself will have nothing done about it. Thank you.

enuz 💣 Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 (edited) -Support From being in TeamSpeak channels with Jayden who is a fellow Manager, the lack of applying developers and outreach of developers that they contact is very little. They always complain about how no one responds so I believe this is out of their control. Most things people suggest come at the cost of the server. Trying to bring back RP has been a thing that I have always asked for when I was Site Administration but even the whole of site admin couldn't even come up with an idea. What you are asking for is really hard to do without upsetting most people on the server.

Cosmic Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 4 hours ago, Sparkle said: Examples of this are RnDs Bio-Engineers getting the P008 removed This was litteraly agreed by Alexx and BOx, they decided to swap out the p008 pistol and their AR for an smg and the ability to spawn Charges (medical ones and armor ones). Don't start rumors. Althought the p008 was the main point of the class they traded it, coltable didn't remove it on his own. Coltable as all humans has a life, I believe coltable has announced this many times and I feel like although his position is a high positon and one that requires a lot of effort he should also have the time he deserves. Although we had some delays with the gun being added to e4 that wasn't because he was lazy, he was having trouble with it and he communicated that to us very well. This delay was caused because he had some issues coding the limit on the bullets on it, this issue or any update in general could be fixed by having more developers but that has been stated to be a problem, often not finding them or finding one that is not up for the task and results in ghosting Jayden and Coltable.

He also shouldn't be forced to exclusively play on the server, as after some years, it's reasonable he just wants to play other games, especially when he has to deal with finals.

[GL] Fizz-y Soda Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 -Support Colt has literally done the most amount of work any manager has done in a short period of time (Since I've been around). He's literally been pushing suggestion after suggestion when he has time. He doesn't have a lot of time to do the stuff he needs to do with the server but he has been doing a good job at it. He's been pretty logical about majority of the decisions, and a few that were just as a result of the lack of time he has to put towards the server. While he may not be doing what you want, he's still doing more than Rang ever did and he's definitely not sitting on his ass occupying the manager position.

Sixx Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 Honestly, Coltable is a good manager when he's actually present and able to dedicate time to the server... Far better than the previous Manager (I don't mean Igneous, The other one). The main issue is him able to dedicate time to the server, however with college that's understandable for the time being as I'm in a similar boat. The thing that I had a huge issue with was when he kinda lied to Security HCMD regarding their new job, I may be wrong when I say this so feel free to correct me however I was told he told Security HCMD that the majority of Site Admin are against the job, however the vote was a 7-1. The other issue recently is mainly communication, Sometimes it feels he chooses to ignore certain topics and situations, however he hasn't been able to be too present on the server and I bet he gets shit tons of msgs everyday regarding this server so I can't expect him to remember everything. TL:DR, Colt is one of the best managers when he's present and actively able to dedicate a sizeable amount of time to the server, but recently it's been extremely limited. He has a few issues but who doesn't? If Colt is able to free up his schedule more and get back to business it would be wonderful, I dont think he needs to be replaced at all but simply given a wake-up call. We don't need another Rang situation when it comes to this report... 3 [ SCP RP ] Director of Research & Security || Armored Shield Award Winner || First Head Warden & HOPO || Security Artillery Unit || D-7025 || D-Class High Council || Former Head of Security || Former Admin || Former Event Team Member Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Its Buck Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 -support We have to remember that there are two managers currently and Colt does have a life outside of GL, he is going through suggestions when he can and implements them when he can. And if colt is really as busy as he says he is I feel like this would fall more on Jayden rather then colt. The only thing I would say is that I would have rather had him take an LOA from the server or at least an ROA to focus just so the community can know that he won’t be able to do as much as he normally does for the server.

Orange 🍊 Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 -Support Colt had been putting in 200% effort since becoming a member of smt comparably. Never seen someone as devoted into his server and members going around and having your long conversations about the simplest stuff lol, finals have been difficult as he try’s to unload the different stresses brought to him. Bringing back RP into the server is an extremely difficult task especially when a large majority are here for combat, ex. the weapon buff suggestions every other week and branches always wanting to raise hp and armor. Made even harder when certain players on cc’s make it their dedication to go around shooting everyone they see. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BadAim Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 -Support I'm not even an active community member and I can see how far Coltable has gone for the benefit of the server. He's always looking for feedback from friend groups based around SCP-RP, looks at other SCP-RP servers to see what he can do to change his own for the better, and he's so much more of a friendly face compared to previous managers. This is a crunch time for most college students in the world as summer courses need to be registered for, and some (from what I'm hearing this is what Coltable has going on) have finals to take still. Graduation takes priority over management and I don't blame him at all for not being able to put 100% into GL rn.
