TOPIC: PERP - Radio Comms Rules

Which server is this suggestion for:
PERP

What would you like to add:
Rules for radio communications. This includes, but isn't limited to:

• General mic limits
• Proper and effective practice

How would it benefit the server/why do you want to add this?
As PERP is a more realistic gamemode, it would allow for more effective, consistent (and realistic) communications between the civil services.

Would it be exploitable, and if, how could we make it non-exploitable?
The 'proper practice' would often be ignored unless enforced, but perhaps if there was a limitation: dispatch has authority to enforce proper practice, and ban/lift bans from the radio comms (except for /radio) if people choose not to follow them.

Additional notes:
This is a proposed setup:

GENERAL RADIO RULES
A: Do not micspam.
B: Do not announce something that belongs OOC.
C: Do not use this as a chat to a friend, use the cell phone for that.

PROPER PRACTICE

A: Callsigns
-Callsigns are assigned by several factors. Job, and number. You will use this to communicate. Before becoming your civil role, check how many there are through TAB menu - when you become one, this is +1 and will be your number.
-To make the callsign, check the job name. (Police: papa. Swat: sierra. Medic: emt. Fire: foxtrot) followed by your number. Roadcrews are not civil, and therefor a call will be made to whoever gets there first (private work is tough).
-When you begin your job, you must alert all units by: "This is (callsign) beginning operations normal, clear."

B: Communication
-To communicate with another unit: "This is (callsign) to (callsign)"
-It is not necessary to end each transmission with 'over', purely because it would get really annoying, and there is already a sound played to signal the end of someone's transmission.
-To end a conversation completely and allow for other people to speak, end with "clear"
-To communicate with the dispatcher: "This is (callsign) to dispatcher, do you read." - await a response (dispatcher could be busy), if the dispatcher calls back "This is dispatcher to (callsign), go ahead" - then you may begin your message.
-The dispatcher answers 911 calls, and this is somewhat difficult with radio comms in the background. If the dispatcher says "Incoming call, silence." - you must treat as a disaster call until a call is made on the basis of the call. This can be overridden by a real disaster.
-To announce that you are on your way, say "This is (callsign), en route to (emergency), ETA (x) minutes."
-To announce that you have arrived, say "This is (callsign), on scene." and if necessary, "awaiting instructions"
-To announce a disaster, say "silence" three times, identify yourself, identify the emergency. During a silence, only the dispatcher can communicate with other units unless another emergency should arise.
-The dispatcher is the only person that can end a silence by saying 'silence fini'

C: Regulations
-Never announce death over the radio communications.
-Never use profane language on the comms.
-Unorthodox radio communications can be used to some extent in the event of CQC (close quarters combat) or a disaster in which something must be announced with the utmost priority.
-Never speak during a silence.
-Do not intrude on someone else's conversation unless you are announcing a disaster with silence, or you are the dispatcher.
-Don't be a retard.
-Turn off radio during local communications (T).
-Unless absolutely necessary, the driver may not communicate over radio comms if they have an assisting passenger from the same service.

D: Definitions
-ABORT: Used in context with a group of people on a scene, or a certain unit. Suggested use for grave danger or if a high priority situation arises.
-WILCO: Will comply. (often used as rodger-wilco)
-ETA: Estimated Time Of Arrival. Give as accurately as possible. Also note ETD (departure)
-CORRECTION: Correction of certain segment of message.
-(I) SAY AGAIN: (I am going to/Please) repeat the message.
-OPERATIONS NORMAL: Patrol is normal.
-ROGER: I understand.
-AFFIRMATIVE: Yes.
-NEGATIVE: No.
-SILENCE SILENCE SILENCE: Shut up and await instructions/information during an emergency.
-SILENCE FINI: Silence is lifted.
-HEREBY BANNED: A unit is restricted to /radio communications. Only can be issued by dispatcher.
-BAN LIFTED: A unit's ban has been lifted.

ANY MISALIGNMENT WITH THE REGULATIONS WILL RESULT IN A BAN BY DISPATCH.

I appreciate that it might be extremely serious, but a lot of people do this today - and it's often intruded by someone. This should be in writing.

I like these ideas +Support
