ARPD Command Mix up ?

[SugarD]

...due to script limitations.

And rules set by the Server Owners.

Yea unfortunately we can't deal with ARPD Officers. I think a little help from a report I tried to file a while ago should help here.

Please keep in mind as well that the copban commands are not available to all VCPD Command Staff until RS2.0, meaning we do not have direct methods of sanctioning ARPD Officers for extended periods of time.

We have to directly rely on the VC:MP Adminstration to deal with these problems until RS2.0 As JDC as explained.

I guess you'll have to discuss it with the ARPD Leaders, try contact Jaaskaa or Gandalf.

Good luck.

The ARPD and VCPD namings, officiality - easily confused, but hopefully no biggie.
Few years back, ARPD was colloquially the term used for an official member (or department) of a police force.

The term 'freecop' extends further back, I think.

Another thing is, both the site and forums are named under the Argonath RPG Police Department (ARPD), and the basis of the official departments, although unofficial roleplay police forces/departments are also welcome to join in on activities there.


As for reporting ARPD officers ('freecops' 'freelance officers'), while the VCPD doesn't generally manage them, as Gandalf posted a few days back, those within an official police department are "senior" - it's a little hard to fully describe, but hope you get it :P - to general cops, and while they cannot make forceful orders, they can to an extent organise or lead them, situation dependent.

The hope is that the VC:MP Admin Team can handle rulebreakers and so on who are on police duty.

There was also a pitch at allowing senior members of the VCPD to access copban, uncrime (or similar) features.

[Marcell]

if you ask me any VCPD officer should be able to uncrime (except for cadets and ARPD officers), as 1 report of abusing that command would most likely result in consequence, whereas vcpd senior officers should be able to copban and uncrime

[Klaus]

We have admins to uncrime and copban..

This notion also restricts the possibility of arrest investigations and revoking corrupt officers' badges, making it more difficult for ARPD to govern itself.

On another note, copbans need to be used more often -- admins (myself included) tend to instinctively warn, kill, kick, and tempban people running around as an officer shooting everyone when we could simply discourage that by using more copbans.

Not really, since ARPD itself consists of admins.

And if it didn't?

It should never be based on such since rights aren't automatically granted to VC:MP VCPD Command Staff.

Admins only should have rights over this because the cop bans would be made limited. If ARPD members get charge of this, a day will come when their would be so less people who can become cops.

Well, as cop ban plays in integral part in scripts, but its also important to increase the cops in the server. Because, people do learn after making mistakes. And their are already less cops (general population ) on server these days.

Why would there be less cops? If a user is breaking the duty rules repeatedly on purpose after given guidance, then they shouldn't be allowed to use the duty until they learn to use it correctly. It shouldn't matter who issues the copban as the user would get it regardless.

Err no...

The only admins in there are Axxo, Legend and Marcus
