I saw some people complaining about a rock wall at suburbs and so I went to see what they were talking about and I saw an admin had blocked off a road. The rocks have been there for about 8 hours (off and on, I took a break).
I understand modifying the map for certain roleplays or based on a community suggestion but this seems unnecessary to me (myself and others tried contacting the admin and asking why it was there to no success, there was no one by the wall and it wasn't conspicuously part of a roleplay). What do you guys think?

They're used for RP, and it creates an interesting dynamic for the map. *shrug*
I can understand it intermittently, but all day is a bit much
I agree, it adds no roleplay value whatsoever. Along with blocking off areas that are not being used for roleplay by the admin in question whatsoever, when there are players who wish to use it for actual RP. Along with copious amounts of useless, unappealing trees blocking off nearly all of the possible building locations.
When a serious amount of players complain about this, OOC is simply turned off, borderline abusive in my humble opinion.
Considering how few people have mentioned it, i'm not seeing the issue here?
It adds a little map variation and makes things a tad more dynamic, and should someone wish to RP clearing the path to construct the road that is a full possibility, much like with a rockslide or other road blocking obstacle, there are IC things people can do, should they decide they wish to attempt to.
I just saw the lake houses are completely blocked. That's a little bit ridiculous for landslide RP.

That would be the case, however the dupe involved in those REPs is a completely different one to the one in question.

But why do we
have to? It's not about wishing, if we wanna get past we have to RP it. I don't want to do a landslide RP, I wanna be able to use the lake houses as I please and be able to travel through roads to respond to emergencies. Again, I understand intermittently, but it's been 8 hours.

Now that is just a complete lie. You may be forgetting the numerous times OOC has been turned off due to you failing to make any response whatsoever to people's questions and complaints. People have complained in legions. The few people complaining currently would be on account of the server being currently near-empty and the fact everyone who wishes to complain has already done so and only received threats of punishments and suppression.

Were both areas blocked at the same time or was it more that a lot of areas were impacted in ways, but without completely blocking it all off?
A tunnel was blocked, which had two extra exit routes.
Access to lake houses was restricted to the actual road, but not blocked.

The RPPS were about a week ago, this image was today and the props are spawned together. There's no active RP on right now.
I totally understand cordoning off parts of the map or modifying the map for specific RPs, but the admin (in regards to the lake house area) said he wanted to do it for "variety." I get that, I just think it's annoying to come onto such random changes on the map. If it was something that was done persistently for a week or a month I'd be totally on board

(Only one roadway out of 3 was blocked at a time, a rockface that could by RP be cleared away by the government
As for the forest, it has a continued rockface going down from the other map cliffside, surrounding the forest, with a 10 meter wide entrance, when said entrance was right next to the houses, i never really heard complaint, but i moved the entrance to the far point of the forest to create a true forest build apperance
)
A lot of people gained RPPs from that event and it appears that two staff on duty were actively involved in it. Did anyone complain via @ during the event?
(Not a single person from what i recall, infact people seemed to enjoy it quite alot, and enjoyed generating their own RP around the situation and dictateing where it went, most all of what occured in that rockslide was players decideing to take the initiative and me acting as GM conducting the rolls)

Except this dupe has nothing to do with the event nor is it a rockslide in anyway. It's as if the jagged rocks simply launched out from the ground, unrealistic much?

Here's a picture from the actual event, perhaps you ought to stop comparing the two since they have absolutely no correlation. The actual event had unfrozen props making it possible to roleplay. Your rock wall does not, since it is not a rockslide.
