/copban threats.

[Cane]

I'm sorry, but this is wrong. I find it disgusting how people with the ability to use /copban is threatening others with it. Earlier this evening, I was involved in a roleplay situation where two corrupt police officers and I were in a combat situation, when a certain individual with the /copban powers showed up, and said, "Stop shooting each other if you don't want to lose your right to go on duty" (Not an exact quote). When he was told about the full situation, he insisted that we were breaking the rules, and also said, "Shooting each other on duty is enough to get you copbanned" (Again, not an exact quote).

So is this what Argonath has come to? Are we restricted on roleplaying corrupted police officers now? Both sides agreed to the situation, and yet, we're threatened to be banished from performing a great roleplay situation.

This has to stop.

Corruption = Accepting Bribes, Helping Criminals, Etcetera..

Rule breaking (Which is Ban-Cop Able) = Miss-using Your weapons in other police officers / Civilians. If you want to shoot yourselves and have fun killing yourselves, feel free to visit www.paruni.com

Who are you to give the "correct" definition of corruption? Does being an FBI agent come with a dictionary? You can't tell me what I can or cannot do in terms of roleplay.

Let's see, define it.

You can't tell me what I can or cannot do in terms of roleplay.

Do whatever you want in terms of roleplay.... I am not telling you not to do anything, however there will be punishments for what you do, if the things you have done were Against the regulations and Rules.

[Trobby888]

What has to stop? Surely a cop who acts foolish like you 3 would get banned from their duties. The "/copban powers" guys were merely just roleplaying as people who were trying to deal with the internal affair by giving the necessary punishment. So if they weren't allowed to /copban cops who go corrupted like that, then what can they do? Let you slip by and do as much chaos as possible? Just because something didn't happen the way how you wanted, does not mean it is "non-roleplay".

[Cane]

I do not have my own definition, however I add to the official definition.
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/corrupt
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/corruption

"guilty of dishonest practices, as bribery; lacking integrity; crooked" (see the first link)

Which, in my eyes, includes - BUT NOT LIMITED TO:

Accepting Bribes, Helping Criminals

as well as attempt to murder, steal, and kidnap civilians and/or other members of the police.

All done WITH the proper use of roleplay, having both sides agree to what is going on, which APPLIES to my situation earlier this evening.

/copban is, as far as I'm concerned, used for command abuses ONLY. If used to restrict roleplay, it is against the rules.

I thought you knew better, considering that you hold the rank of an administrator.

OH, and another thing - I was the GOOD COP in this, not the bad one. Stop making assumptions.

it is abuse of your /duty weapons to use them to shoot other officers , EVEN if it is a so called "Rp situation."

We may not be a RLRP server, but use some logic people. You are not given the ability to go on /duty so you can "OMFGWERPKILLCOPSCAUSEWECORRUTCOPS."

[Nathan]

Don't shoot other cops, problem fixed. Want to shoot each other, go to Paruni.

[JDC]

I would certainly be most able to tell the difference between an individual who roleplays a corrupt, malevolent police officer who terrorizes the civilians and fellow officers through roleplay, and people who just abuse their badge in order to attain undesirable power under the guise of "being corrupt".

It's the second class I see fit for copbans.

[Squeak]

Oh, you.

Then Explain this :

As cop you should follow the procedures and actions of real life law officers.
That means that if you choose to play a corrupt or criminal cop, you can be suspended from service (copbanneD). This is valid for all.

And here, I thought you knew better since you've been with Argo for such a long time.

Ok, my assumption on you being the bad cop was wrong. But does that make any difference since you're the one complaining?

When I was new, I almost got cop banned because I told the high ranked he sucked at driving.

[[NP]Monte Montague]

When I was new, I almost got cop banned because I told the high ranked he sucked at driving.

When I was new I got copbanned for giving a ticket and 'just letting him go' to a person who broke down several lampposts, got dragged to DPD for several hours, Lt, Chief where there... They got mad, I was told to come or I will be cop ban, in end I was at DPD and got cop-ban because the LT wanted to look tough, just so happens LT was removed several week later, I did send email to admins and ask what the f**k why man, but no 1 reply. 


In my entire history, I've never seen once (although totally wrong cop-ban, and not nice to victimize newer players like in my true story above)  another form of /copban being role-played, never once, except the time with Pancher where he ordered me to go in /duty room then he reduce my rank to security guard and say I cant go to GS9 because around 15 ballas turned up in LSPD and protested against me  .

The majority of /copban I do not see role-played.

If they're not going to be role-played they should be kept with admins only.

Who are you to give the "correct" definition of corruption? Does being an FBI agent come with a dictionary? You can't tell me what I can or cannot do in terms of roleplay.

Learn  some respect, you start a discussion then go onto criticize others for there response?.




Besides, although I do not see it actively roleplayed - as in "/me tears off his badge", Cop-Ban can also be used as "suspension form police force" in cop terms. (but they can also have their ass thrown into jail as well).

Who was that high ranked?
