TOPIC: [SSRP Suggestion] "BUILDING" sign rules

Server Name: SSRP 1 & 2

Suggestion Title: Change the "BUILDING" sign rules.

How would it benefit the server: It would cause less confusion and problems regarding raids and raidable entities with a building sign.

Potential Issues/Exploits: None

Additional notes: Currently you are able to use a fake a building sign as the sign is required to be "BUILDING" in a large font to be counted as a valid building sign, if you make it "Buildinq" or something as such you are able to have raidable entities. I have seen this a few times and each time it has caused obvious problems. Both the general explanation of the rule an the rule itself are bad in my opinion and need a change. I feel it should be changed so all building signs are valid regardless of spelling errors as long as they are clear and visable. This will also mean that as long as something that clearly is a building sign is in place you may not use raidable entities. A recent situation where this was an issue is here linked below.

EDIT: As it seems people are being confused here, I am not talking about the usage of CAPS. I am talking about the changing of letters in the word building. This was stated to both players and staff as being allowed after being talked about by the lead team or so we were told. Would be nice to have an official statement on this from someone. I also changed the example of usage from building with a mission L to buildinq with the G replaced as people didn't see that the L was missing.

If it's clearly attempting to mimic a building sign, it should be counted as so.

I feel that the rules should be clarified with regards to this situation, this is most defiantly a good idea and would help out the community.

It needs to change, more people will argue with admins about that

thats messed up

I swear its already in the rules, as you cant bend the rules, if thats not rule bending, then i dont know what is.

This would clear lots of things up and help separate people making mistakes from rule breakers.

My bad, i stated it as "Rule Bending", i meant loop holing,
"Loopholing"
"The rules are stated here as guidelines for the server, they are not here for you to scrutinize and try to look for loophole" -EMP SSRP Server Rules.

this would help people out and stop arguing

Shouldn't cause any arguments. The person doing this clearly wants to cause problems.

This is where the Loopholing Rule gets used.

What he fuck did I just read?

It's not allowed to use anything like that to avoid that rule.
As explained above me, that's loopholing. This whole suggestion is senseless.

People who use the sign BUILDINg and such are clearly loop holding the rules so just warn them for either raidables with building sign or loopholing and if they have a problem about tell them to bring it to the forums because there are some many rules that people can take advantage over that there are to many to change

as long as it said "building" its fine, then you cant raid, cause it does say building, dosent matter with all the CAPS stuff. If it says "bulding" then you can raid, aslong as it says building, its fine, dosent matter if its lowercase or uppercase. having "BUILDINg" isent loophooling what so ever.

i personaly hadn't got any problems with that, but if you got some problems, sure. Its not a rule that would break the game so it can be easly edited.

Umm what?

If it says "Building" on the sign it's a building sign if it says any thing else it's not. I'm not to sure how hard it is for you to define between the two but it seems simple enough for an average person. We currently have to literally spell out every aspect of how to raid because you guys can't differ what's wrong or right.

Building
building
BuILdING
buildIng
buildinG
BuildinG

^ all still says building! It might look stupid but it's all the same thing and anything that doesn't have them 8 letters and in the right order isn't a building sign.
