Rule Suggestion (Forum Rule 2.5)

Exnem · 2026-05-25T01:08:26+0100

Suggestion Topic: Other
Suggestion Description: Forum rule 2.5. Add the following.

Users may not create an Action Request on behalf of another if they had no involvement with the situation in question unless requested to do so by an involved user. Merely witnessing the situation does not necessarily imply involvement and is subject to an administrator's discretion.

Why should this be added?:
- As of right now, a lot of artificial traffic is being generated by uninvolved players who simply just want to act as a vigilante for the community. This isn't always desired by either party of a situation. More often than not, victimless occurrences (sans participants) tend to generate additional action requests that create more work for staff to filter through. Unless the people involved or a staff member want something done with it, nobody else should have a say.

What negatives could this have?:
- None that I can think of. What negatives I thought of, I tried solving in the original suggestion.

the negative is that rule breakers will get away with breaking the rules its important that the rules are upheld. Who cares who is reporting it?

Playing devils advocate here - what about the people who won't or can't make ARs but are still upset by the situation? I have raised reports on behalf of other players before who can't speak for themselves.

Granted, I have obviously witnessed these situations.

I think that realistically it does create more time spent for staff, and uninvolved people are more likely to not know the full picture, with some situations being already dealt with for example.

Though, the situation being down to administrative discretion allows for these situations

So, I think the solution here would be to create a report and ask a staff member to create one for you, if somehow you don't have the ability to make one yourself. Not wanting to make an AR isn't really an excuse and that's their loss in my opinion.

Another solution could just be to modify the suggestion to add a clause that if you're creating one on behalf of someone else, you'll need the permission of an involved person, who would confirm it by simply replying to the thread in the affirmative.

Edit: I'm a moron, usually those who can't make an AR also can't reply. Honestly the solution here would just be to have a staff member contact the person the creator tagged as the one they're creating the AR on behalf of.

If you’re not involved and the situation was already dealt with or not reported then perhaps just mind your own business? If it’s a problem for those involved, they’ll report it.

You and that brian genuine fatass guy obviously do this shit for the wrong intentions because for example you clearly didn’t even do your homework on a AR you created but had zero involvement in. Let’s not get things twisted here when staff discretion being a thing to this rule modification rectifies the issue with you rats making meaningless AR’s for attention, it’s pretty obvious.

If a rule break happens it should be dealt with why is this being debated

You’re not being insulted, you just simply can’t come up with a real argument to mine and so you’re called out for it. Please contribute to the forums constructively.

Should take your own advice Clarky.

If a rule break is spotted it should be reported simple as that.
