Main idea:
For just a month at most or a week at least, Revert the PD to its old state with changes to adapt to the modern playerbase.

Description:
Revert the PD With its old "VIP for SWAT / Lieutenant" System for just a week at least, or a single month at most, And see how it works.

People are so adamant on there opinions on the matter on what direction the PD should take. The one thing we could do to finally end this lifelong debate is to give the idea a go.

Just a heads up on how it'd work:
- Anyone abusing or misusing the Lt, speed enforcer and SWAT Roles will be blacklisted from the roles indefinitely til this "Event" month ends.
- If this idea results in a total cock up, then it should be terminated immediately, and the PD returned to its current state.
- Current police supervisors will hold the rank of Sgt, and will be able to demote shit Lt's. This could be seen as if supervisors are the real leaders and not the Lt's, but this is simply to counter any minges from going Lt and ruining other peoples role play experience.
- ANY counts of gross misconduct committed by SWAT officers will result in the player committing the offence to be not only blacklisted from the job for the remainder of the event, but will bar them from making a TFU application for at least a month after the event ends. Same thing goes for Speed enforcers and the RTU Division.

Pros:
- We can finally reach a conclusion on the white list and its effects on the player base with new, solid evidence that either proves or disproves the theory.
- Would be a fun week and a change of pace from the usual super cereal police RP.
- The temporary ability to go SWAT Would give Non-TFU the experience that they really want.
- Its only temporary.
- Would give lower ranks a supervisor experience they can use to further better themselves in the PD.
- Will give old players incentive to come and play for nostalgia reasons.
Cons:
- Personally I disagree with the idea of reverting the PD, but I do not feel as though it would be that bad to give the idea a go temporarily.
- IA is a tiny division as it currently stands and there workload could be overwhelming.
- @Samuel informed me in the discussion that this will take a fair bit of development work.

@Lelios1 Well when you turn on your headlights do your fog lights come on as well? No? thought so.

@Creepis They are intended only for POPO business!

@The HitMan You're getting really annoying man. all you do is complain and when you actually get a decent response you just completely dismiss it.

 

[The HitMan]

@Momo Hmmmmm okay bud

 

[Momo]

@The HitMan exactly

@Samuel Because that wouldn't achieve what we wanted.

SWAT was not like TFU. SWAT didn't patrol.

RTU whitelist is also not the same as the traffic officer that used to be a seperate slot and was very limited.

@BigBenji we use git, but we can’t revert to 2015 as too much has been recoded. Would break the entire server... I don’t think you understand how deeply the Whitelist is in the code, it’s not something that can be removed one day and then readded the next

@Tilin what you are asking for is not possible unless complete removal.

I don know what you are on about, if we temporarily reverted it wouldn’t change rules or such it would only change what people can do on duty. So patrolling TFU is a rule question.

RTU is exactly the same as Traffic Officer, only that the slots are a part of the Police team.

You can ask for us to give you SWAT and Traffic Officer jobs as much as you want, on a temporary basis it’s not happening. Would mean that we would have to edit big parts of the code that give jobs special access, like pressing e on drugs etc... Even if the whitelist is removed, parts of the current system will be in place. There will never be a complete revert, just because a suggestion like this is accepted, does not mean that we press a big revert button that brings code and players back.

@Momo he complains cus people who are not active on the server make decisions on how the game is supposed to work and it really fucking sucks.

He's also complaining about people like you who hold ranks within the PD but you're not active, and it doesn't matter that you don't have to be active, the community needs active players in important roles to survive. So take your thumb out of your fucking arsehole and start looking at yourself

 

[Sam]

Accepted-ish?

We are already running a test on this, this will be a one time thing tho. Ends on sunday.
