As an Ex. Member of CB community I can confirm that every word you said about them is right and is the main reason I left as well, I wasn't that kind of popular player but I have been there since 2016 until I left in 2019. I was just a regular player who would join to hang around doing some activities for sometime then leave. Then it all started to get wrong and the truth would shine about them.
I would find myself getting muted for speaking against an admin in TERMS OF GAMEPLAY such as combat talks etc. Basically anything they didn't like I would get muted for it. Then another time I got banned by some admin who is known to be a toxic kid (not gonna mention names) because I killed him with heliblades. After those situations began to repeat I just began to realize that this isn't right so I left and almost left samp as a whole cause I didn't think I would find another server that I would enjoy.
Accidently by scrolling through the CNR servers in samp in 2019 after couple of months of leaving CB. I found this server called Mike's cops and robbers, so I wanted to give it a try.
Just by joining the server, before interacting with the community, I found some pretty cool stuff. Like the intro, the tutorial, the gameplay, the rules and after some gameplay I loved the mechanics there such as the arresting system, CPR and more. So i decided to give it longer play sessions as it seemed fun. Then I started making some friends which introduced me to the MCNR discord server.
I was just shocked by seeing stuff in MCNR that I didnt see in CB, like.
I would find myself not muted after arguing with staff in any topic (lol), I would find the developer replying to my feedback whenever I contact him, I would find staff responding 24/7 to complaints and keeping the server clean and fun. Events were regularly organized, Prizes were great, people were mostly friendly.
Of course no community on the internet is toxic-free but I liked the fact that toxic players here are not welcomed at all and would get punished or even banned if they over do it on the spot. So you don't have to worry about losing brain cells when playing from some trash talking player.
And here I am part of the staff team of this community and I can confirm the way management handles stuff here is just amazing compared to any community I have ever seen, Responding to you whenever you have any question concerning you or a rule you need to clarify, dismissing staff abusing their powers or being toxic.
Clearly a whole new experience and I'm glad to be part of this community and being here since the same year this server launched.
Probably most won't fully read this but I just wanted to go all out on this topic. Peace.
