What does this suggestion change/add/remove:
This suggestion adds a refund system where a player's items and stats (hp, armor, job) are logged upon death of the player.
This also adds the possibility for admin+ to simply type a command or button to restore the items and stats of a player.

My ideas to prevent abuse are the following:
- It's admin+ only
- an admin+ has the decision based on proof of rule-breaking that led to death of the player
- if an admin+ died, he cannot get himself. he must contact another admin+.
- refunds are also logged in case of possible abuse (although maybe not needed)

Possible Positives of the suggestion (At least 2):
- simpler and faster way for admin+ to refund
- less angry players because some dummy d-class RDMed and now he lost his cl 4 keycard and freedom sr as a d-class

Possible Negatives of the suggestion:
Might not be made depending of how spaghetti% is the server code

Based on the Positives & Negatives, why should this suggestion be accepted:
Because I got RDMed a lot of times and I am very pissed off when I lose my favorite freedom sr and cl 4 JUST because of an RDMer of same job.

Additionally, I also want to point out that the staff punishments should be WAY more severe if the RDMed player had very precious items and progress. I mean, imagine getting RDMed for no reason whatsoever JUST after you've got a CL 4, and it's not even cross-fire either.

Would be very useful, and could be used in sits to investigate some issues further. If someone says they didn't have something or couldn't have done something.

Unsure, if Gmod has this functionality. But could use the same system to save weapon information when you go afk, to then log it and have it in a way that can auto-give this information back.

There should be implementations in GLua to let you save weapons information, hp and armor. job should be log-able too.

Implementation of this should be rather easy. I'm not sure about "preventing self-refund" tho, it might be unnecessary
it may be necessary, as there were many times in other communities (not only gmod) when powerful staff betrayed others (although some were due to ignorance of trust).

Suggestion Partially Approved

Hi @Costin88Boss,

Thanks for taking the time to make a server suggestion. While we won't be bringing back the weapon refund system, we will implement weapon logging.

Your suggestion will now be locked and marked as accepted.​
