Playing Perp really has me triggered as of late, and let me tell you why. Personally i've been having some pretty awful experiences with admins/mods; And worse... so has everyone else.
Taking a look through the recent bans really distorts the general idea that everyone shoves down your throat at any given moment - PLAY REALISTICALLY, This is a second (real)life, and some of the reasons given for these bans are - for lack of a better term... Fucked
For example:
1 week - 3.4 2.5 - Shot an officer who was arresting his friend for a minor jail sentence.
When you read that explanation, I would like you to ask yourself one question - What is the one reason someone would shoot police in real life? Surprise, the answer is SO THEY DON'T GO TO JAIL(to avoid punishment). That is a realistic reaction, maybe not common, but yes this situation has and will play out in real life. They didn't break 3.4 as they were not in danger, the cop was. If this is considered 2.5, then every person who has ever raided someone, or cop who has shot a criminal needs to be banned for ruining a players experience. Now here's the balance, the context of this situation is not an unavoidable plague of anarchy, this encourages cops to work in at least pairs, or call for backup before engaging with a suspect, etc etc. In fact this situation shouldn't even be disputed, killing cops arresting an org member and breaking them out of cuffs is and should be a normal occasion, the cops should be prepared for potential danger in this situation. BAD BAN.
1 day - 3.4; Evaded from the police due to a minor traffic violation.
I understand that a large portion of the servers population is from Europe and the fastest car on your prehistoric stone roads is a caddy that reaches 55 Mph(88 Kph) but in the US(which paralake represents) we have cars that dont take 60 seconds to reach 15mph, ours go fast
. With that privilege in the real world, its almost common(depending on where you live) that people will try outrunning police and evading(Even for) "a minor traffic violation" if they are dumb enough, and their car is expensive enough. So ...Realistic? Check. If anything, someone trying to make a run for it makes a cops experience more entertaining. Now this doesn't do away with lawful reaction; There is always balance; The consequences spike much higher if you evade the police, if you die in the chase or when the police stop you, you get revived and now have a jail sentence and a much bigger ticket, plus a search for illegal goods, etc etc. So no, your precious traffic stops wont be done away with if you don't uphold your urge to ban for evading the police. BAD BAN.
It should also be said that staff will almost always take the side of police and if you are being prosecuted as police, you are immune to punishment for breaking the rules; You have this magic response that even the admins will say for you, you may have heard it "Make an IA complaint" and everyone knows that translates to - youre invincible; I bet you've never been taken into a sit while in uniform.
The last thing just emphasizes the boneheaded thought process of SOME of your resident moderators. A pal in my organization was crossing the road between slums and Pd with no cars in sight when he was picked up by an admin and disciplined for 3.4 "because crossing the road is putting your life at risk", listen friend, No cars.(small road with low speed limit not a highway). It's like a hunt to over extend the power to ban.
Stop banning people because you think you should, please actually take a minute to review the situation.
Thats all :^) fight the power
