@Lelios Oh no, I never took it that way. It was just a thing that I thought in my head that I am struggling to put into words (which is the case with many things).
I guess in some way now that it is dealt with by higher ranking officers, there is more chance that a lower ranked officer is undermined. It makes both the suspect and the officer feel as though the officer has little power to carry out punishment and their work properly. Requesting the supervisor often causes the roleplay situation itself to be delayed as it needs to be done through the book now where as previously if a staff member dealt with the situation it could be refereed to later on. Maybe a better idea would be to make the policy a bit more sophisticated in the sense that there are less or more stricter reasons as to when a supervisor is actually needed.
Again I may be wrong, but there is definitely an issue with the respect that an officer gets now days and the abilities they actually are presented with to carry out their job effectively. A lot of this can be sorted with pure confidence building in lower ranking officers, but this won't be easy to achieve and will not completely exterminate this issue.
I know this first hand as when the PLPD.online system came out I was previously banned for aprox 2 years and never got to go through the changes first hand. It was a large difference to me and considering I was able to be an effective officer before getting banned, to then come back and feel so powerless, I could see there was a problem with this system. Again I actually like the new system much better but it does feel to restricted and there are issues that have gone un-noticed (although what a lot of these issues are I am unsure)
