Then there are the situations where an admin would announce their holding an RP event on the server, and almost all the servers general RP would die as people flooded to be apart of their RP for the higher chance of earning Reps, main reason I never announced any events I did, people just had to find them.

If this is infact a non-opt out event, what would you do with those who don't want to take part, and just continue on as normal? They cant be punished as they haven't broken any official rules

(Stale or not, forcing players out of the RP they are already doing in favor of your own on a server wide scale seems selfish, things like this are better kept to the event server to not disturb the regular gameplay.)

It is literally 4 hours, you can do whatever you want before and after. Not to mention the fact this was posted 3 WEEKS before it happens.

(How long it lasts, and how long ago it was announced is irrelevant, by stating this in such a way, your assuming that everyone on the server will have heard of it, new and old players, and your assuming they will be ok with their RP being forced to end, and their dupes being forced to be removed in favor of people who potentialy weeks ago "reserved" the job and land for their RP, while ignoring the fact people are already active doing their own RP which they find fun.

Announced Small scale events are one thing, unnanounced larger events are also another as they are opt in and need to be found, but a serverwide forced participation of an RP and RP style that people may not want, that risks uprooting already in place RP in favor of RP that was "reserved" by people weeks before, ignoring those who are RPing at that very moment? 

I can't agree with that, nor can I support it.

Again I ask, what will you do with those who don't want to participate, who refuse to give up their job slots and land because they are already there, and who are already enjoying their time?)
