Explain your suggestion, in detail: Basically, it would be a subforum with established guidelines and a template to submit RPP requests for users. Template would include: Steam name of user being nominated, Steam ID of user nominated, Time and date of occurance (for log reference), an "why you feel the RP is worthy of review", and an evidence to support the case (video/screenshots). This could then be reviewed and either approved or declined by staff at their leisure. Any abuse, false information, ect would be actionable by staff at their discretion.
Explain why the suggestion should be implemented: Many hours of the day, there are no staff members present to note and award such points. During the late night USA hours this is even more true. Sometimes RPPs are handed out without much of a review, leaving some people upset about the situation, or even people being missed by accidential oversight or leaving the server a few minutes before the RP has concluded, but they were obviously an all star. Using @ or contacting a staff privately with a recommendation uses up time, resources, and feels almost wrong. This process would be clear to see, could be easily archived for review by senior staff should there be a dispute, or even handled at times when the staff actually have a few minutes to handle them, instead of the potential oversight due to various issues like heavy @ calls, RP Events in progress that cannot simply be paused, ect.
Example: I was being arrested the other day by Quantum, Lord_Octagon, and Wesley. They easily did one of the best roleplays involving police during an arrest that I have seen in my thousands of hours playing gmod. I had to ask a staff about looking into the matter, to which I was awarded a point for my use of /me commands, but the three weren't awarded because they were mainly on voice chat because they're not poor like me. I feel that if I had a video of the event to show anyone here, there would be no denying that they totally deserved it for the entire situation, which started out as a minor traffic violation, and led to an entire serial killer investigation that ended up linking to another player that was also not associated to me directly, but he was performing a similar RP.
EX2: There were two players doing a very amazing job doing chef based pizzaria RP, using /me, rping that they were taking orders, they even used a shovel swep to simulate the pizza pie tool that you slide them in and out of the oven, an excellent dupe, sign, ect. Well deserving of a point.
Finally, it would allow users to feel one small step closer to the staff. Kind of like how our suggestions sometimes get approved and we get to seem them realized in game.
Thanks for your time and I sincerely hope you guys find it in your hearts to support this.
