What rule do you wish to Edit/Add: 2.5 Excessive Negativity- Generally speaking, players are not allowed to excessively negatively affect the experiences of other players while playing on the server. For example, destroying a number of valuable items in a store should only be done under certain circumstances, and more so as a last resort; specifically, reasons such as product prices, a ‘basic’ distaste towards someone within the store, grossly disproportionate methods to quell competition, etc, are not typically acceptable.
Your version of the rule: Unrealistic Negativity: Typically, players should not react to certain situations in a negative way that is considered too excessive for the situation that that player was involved in. e.g. A player is told to "F*** off" by another player he had no prior connection to, that player may not enact an extreme act upon this person's self or property.
Why do you believe this rule should be Added/Edited: This rule can seriously inhibit roleplay and many have been banned for this rule because of them wanting to engage in hardcore roleplay, this has been evidenced in countless situations and has drove away potential members wanting to have very serious roleplay.
I will give an example of this: I was once constantly bothered by a certain asian man while running a gun store (@MattIsMadForCod you cheeky little thing), during this time he harrased me, assaulted me, drove customers away from my store, verbally assaulted me, threatened me with further violence, attempted to raid me and nearly gunpointed my friend. I saw he had been walking in and out of a store next to us, I planned to get revenge.
Me and my friend @FazeDeco'sShack gathered molotovs and planned to destroy his business, we took up our positions and threw the molotovs, we made sure there was nobody inside so that we would not become murderers.
15 minutes passed and I saw Ash talking to them, I approached them and admitted, upon trying to explain myself fully, Ash refused to listen and dodged my questions completely, but that is a story/complaint for another day. I was banned for 4 days, ruining my short holiday all because I wanted to react the way many others have in real life stories, bare in mind this was my first ban.
Here is a hypothetical story: A player raids a guy, leaves him crippled, bleeding and grasping for breath in his destroyed house, upon being revived, he gathers his friends/organisation and tries to find out where the perpetrators were living, they find his car and proceed to bomb and set fire to the Parker and then escapes.
The player is pulled up and is told that they lost an insane amount of drugs, weapons and all their props were burned down, the player is banned for 1 week and his future appeal is denied because of this rule.
True Story In Which This WAS NOT Enforced: I was raided by 3 men in suits, after they took all of my items, injured me and destroyed my apartment, instead of shooting me to avoid me calling the cops, they took my chair /me ties me to the chair, takes me to my dirty bathroom, kicks the chair over, closes the doors and leaves me to die of hunger on the floor of a dirty, stinking, bullet riddled bathroom.
Know what this roleplay was? FUN...
These fine chaps performed great roleplay that was both realistic, evil and enjoyable for all parties, however, if I DID report this, they would most likely be punished using this rule.
This is all I have to say but if you are lazy...
TL;DR: This rule ruins a lot of potential roleplay situations and has ruined many in the past and should be removed or changed to my suggested version.
