Tene

its not their whole group dude it was only bill that was doing stuff with personal info its not like the others in the group that are unnamed collect files and info of the community members, tene irl traded twice (the 2nd time for 6 months with rubik being fully aware) we should also comm him if u want to comm this group of people who dont care about gmod or do anything with personal info, its not like the group spreads it around to eachother or anything and then leaks it. insert nervous gulping cat when random uninvolved people are getting their stuff leaked i probably wont reply more on stuff because this team doesnt care, but im glad the community is using their eyes to see that hey maybe we shouldnt let this group exist who is over the last few months known to shitstir via dm leaks personal info and oh that same group was involved in an ip grab? its ok its only the 1 guy that did/has anything the rest of them are chill. edit for more info: me and caleb talked, he i think is genuinely done w titsrp dramarama etc so hopefully he doesnt get any aids of me posting this ss and no1 spams him rara, but for the retarded individuals who believe only 1 person in the group did/does stuff with peoples personal dms or info i added the screenshot. 1 person in a group spreading around stuff to other members of that group, that group then spread other stuff of that leak within their group, no reports are made, other people in the group have folders on their pc collecting titsrp players faces? only a FEW bad eggshells.. no worries.

its the way its enforced, which is why it was dropped by past admin teams, because it gets to a point where something happens and it doesnt feel like a big enough 'drama' or 'toxicity' to actually warrant a perma ban. also teams just forgot who was on probation and for what because it began to get overused and staff teams would change 6months later. this one being enforced by rubik himself is more of a hopeful thing, and again the worry is just whether or not something small will warrant to a comm removal or if many little things will be fine bc its 'not enough for a perma' as has been seen in the past

'hey bro come here for a sec' is not a hard thing to do with that short of a radius, nor is it social engineering. either way its irrelevant and ive already made my points.

You agreed in dms that if u had the context that i had given you last night your decision to comm vs probation wouldve been swayed.. u can very much say its biased but when given the facts + history of the user involved i think a comm removal is very valid, which you yourself agreed with (from what im reading unless you meant something different?). i think its very clear your stance on this wont change as we dmed for hours about it, and i am fine with that as long as the probation is actually enforced properly as discussed. I do think all future instances of doxxing / private dm leaking (when its literally obtained via accessing someones discord account from their token and not the person being dmed sharing it) should result in an instant community removal for the player/people involved and encouraging it, no matter who it is. if you disagree with that take then i truly dont know what type of community you wish to have when, as i have said, many people have been banned for doing less or even threatening to do what was done. as for the ip stuff, i still think the comm shouldve been made aware so i am happy i made this post, correlating an IP address for someones general location isnt really anything until combined with additional info on that user, which is usually very easy to obtain (ie having a first name and first letter of 2nd name + ip can usually lead to u finding lots of info, i have been doxxed this way)

because he got paid for it the playerbase should still have been told by rubik that their ips had been leaked. also are you saying vbov never showed anyone any of the ips?

Hello gmod friends, I make this post to publicise some things that the community may not be fully aware of and I feel they should be, this post is in no way intended to 'drama monger', or 'fear monger'. I would like for the community to become more knowledgeable on the recent events on the server and for the new staff team / rubik to be transparent on what is and isnt allowed and what falls under this new punishment format. Leaked IP Addresses and lack of disclosure: On the 1st of October there was an exploit that allowed users to gather IP Addresses of other users via the Boombox and a grabify link. This exploit was used by user 'vbov', who is since community removed, but the ban reason remains as 'Cheating' as to not inform the community. From what I am aware of, 50+ user's IP's were grabbed and those users were identifiable, some of these users are from the EU, but most are from America, and one from Australia etc. For some this may be the first time they are being made aware of this, but others already knew due to being members of the group of the user who did the exploit and spread it (There is a video of the IPs that has circulated). There was a lack of disclosure around this, typically any server/service involved in any sort of breach would have made an announcement informing the userbase, yet there was no announcement. The users who's IPs were leaked were also not contacted by Rubik/higher ups on the team who were aware, and instead vbov was paid money for reporting the bug and then it was swept under the rug, even now after vbov's community removal the community has not been made aware. As I said, some of the users are from the EU, this therefore means that the IP addresses count as personal information (if identifiable, which vbov was able to identify the IP by user), and thus makes it a GDPR Violation for this not to be disclosed to the playerbase. Yes this is a US server, but following GDPR regulations has been something Rubik has stuck by (as an excuse) to keep players that request Data Removals from returning - such as CaptainT. This lack of disclosure, alongside the lack of truth in vbov's ban reason suggest that for whatever reason this breach is being hidden from the playerbase. Personal data leak: There was a personal data leak of a community member's discord dms from 2020-2023, which included DMs of himself (minor at a time) and another minor speaking sexually and about very personal details (family, mental health etc) alongside all of his other dms. This user's dms were shared, the erotic and private messages were turned into things like notebooks, and users from this group also made audiobooks reading over the sexual messages that had been sent between 2 minors. The same group of people involved in this DM leak are those that vbov shared the information about the IP leak to, which is why I think users should be slightly concerned if their IPs have been leaked to this group that went out of their way to look for a discord token leak and spread this personal info around. Only one user from this group is banned for being the person who actually obtained the dataleak and spread it. Proof of another user (Caleb) spreading around other personal dms obtained by the discord token leak of the user was sent to Rubik, alongside proof of Caleb asking if he should put a backdoor into an addon being made for titsrp. Rubik himself got access to the entire file of personal-data via Caleb, which Caleb would not have access to in any good-faith, especially when it's taken into account that Caleb never reported this, despite Bill spreading around and making fun of these sexual / private messages from minors on various untraced alt accounts, alongside the fact that Caleb was spreading other DMs from this dataleak, meaning he was still sharing private dms that were obtained via data collected from accessing the user's discord token, and had most certainly checked other dms (as he had access to all of them). Proof was sent to Rubik, Caleb has since not been banned, but is instead on a new punishment called 'Probation', where for the next 6 months he is not allowed to be involved in drama. TLDR: You are allowed to get a community member's personal dms from a discord token, go through their DMs (which contained names/emails/actual personal data), share their DMs to others, share the entire file, be complicit in the spreading/exposure of the underaged sexual/erotic messages (caleb knew who was doing it, did not report, did nothing), and receive no punishment and be entirely allowed in the community. Any user threatening to do half of what Caleb did would be banned for 6 months or fully community removed, so why is it different for Caleb? If someone did this to Caleb, would that someone be banned? If someone did this to Rubik, would they be banned? If it was a new player, would they be banned? Things that the New Staff Team with New Approaches to Staffing should ponder. I would like for a discussion around player security, disclosure, and what constitutes as doxxing or not doxxing, what is allowed in terms of leaking (why is it leaking tene?) and why is a new punishment being used to avoid telling the community the truth? There have been community removals for sexual harassment (people saying they'd vore someone), /advert rape on kidnap, threats to doxx, bans/punishments administered over exposing someones social media that is linked to their username/account, Mass RDMs, Racism, Transphobia, threats to self-harm or harm others, and yet there is no punishment for what Caleb/others did except for one person out of the entire group (bare minimum). I would like to say I am singling out Caleb as he is one who I have the most proof of doing stuff (other than Bill), there were others involved that I have some proof of, but not enough to make it worth sending to Rubik since he has done nothing with the amount I've already given on this user. Can the staff team/Rubik please explain what is allowed and not allowed and when it crosses a line (like owning a whole file of years worth of someones private dms and sharing it) that leads to it being bannable? As of right now if someone logged on and killed 3 people they would have a larger punishment, and Sanzu has made me aware that this is a new staff team different to last and they handle things differently, so is player security also handled differently and if so can the playerbase please be made aware, since they are not even being told when their IPs have been leaked. Thank you. Any images are images that had already been obtained/sent to Rubik beforehand, anything since my contact with Rubik I have done by myself and without permission/discussion with others, I just think the community should be made aware. https://imgur.com/a/2oLgvsS Uncensored versions of the images can be sent + more images if it is a higher up member of staff that is curious, although this is not a report, simply an open discussion on what is and isn't a ban and if this is a new precedent, along with what counts for probation. 'Leak' counter: 14

fun fact: the pet had an effect before i bought it which is why i bought it. it was given an effect at the same time as other pets that were exclusive w/o effects got effects (like pig pet, reaper pet, ghost pet, iirc, if im wrong on the last 2 then just pig pet). rubik wasnt the one who made this pet effect it was sugar, and it was done before i even bought the pet (the owner was still green) so if u have an issue go and ramble to him. ive actually asked rubik to change the pet effect entirely (even requesting it to be the same as yoshi pet which you yourself can get from a 150m lootbox) because it is utterly useless unless you have it on a second account standing in the middle of procs, or you have someone else standing entirely still for 6hours (if you move to go use the first processor, the last processors start shocking). rubik basically told me no he will not change the pet effect because its whats been decided and its unfair if i get to choose an effect for my own pet. everything else ill read later but i was dmed by people specifically about this and you are just lying on a post for no reason

can u upload a clip to youtube and send it here? and can you double check that if you relog the c4 isnt there? sometimes items become 'ghosted' / 'void slotted' where the item slot appears as if its empty clientside but serverside its still there, usually relogging fixes if this is the issue. if theyre not there on relog then its a serverside loss

not sure if its a compliment or insult to be this high on the list with the others mentioned

What are the actual content updates you want made? I will agree that there hasnt been super huge content changes and instead smaller tweaks/additions, and I do very much want boss fights (grr) but I think it is due to the idea going from making 1 really big change every few months to tons of smaller changes and additions instead. It also is due to Rubik being 1 person who also works a job and is busy with irl things. Hiring devs I believe rubik has explained before is something that is alot easier said than done if you're aiming for actual good developers that know how to make stuff specific to this server that wont pillage optimisation (what titsrp tries to prioritise) and server-performance, along with the actual quality of the stuff produced typically needing to be fixed anyways by rubik (or sugar at the time). If you look at the suggestions in discord, they are mostly small change suggestions, and I think there is probably more 'value' in doing several small suggestions vs 1 somewhat big suggestion that not everyone cares about. Example: The mafia leader update was actually hyped, then upon being released no one cared to actually use that job or roleplay it unless they were brand new or needed to for a quest. Making new huge updates and balancing it around already existing systems is difficult when trying to not completely outshine any/be better than other systems (ie a new thing that makes more money than basing, or a new item system that changes raiding and basing, or a new job that then has to be tweaked via rules to not be aids and loopholeable + the exploits that come with new things) The server has fuck tons of content, its just people have poured months of playtime into it which with any game will get boring eventually. When you think of all the systems we actually have on the server, new additions that are worth sinking tons of time into for everyone/majority of people to enjoy is difficult with the added risk of just months of development time being wasted on a thing no one cares about. This is probably why it is preferred to do battlepasses instead as its something for everyone, even the people who claim to hate bps do them. I do want more major content changes, but if they just flop then it seems like just a waste of time. Boss fights, trash tradeup thing, changes to fishing system, more advanced crafting, cool jobs ie magic man, full event rework, weather system that modifies jobs or mechanics/day to day gameplay element that changes things rarely also there are constantly new bugs popping up that need fixing, along with server stuff, crash methods, bugfixes with any small changes/additions made etc +1 to bring back big content updates if possible though without it causing burnout.
