TOPIC: SSRP Suggestion - Scamming / Company Impersonation

Server Name: SSRP 1,2,3

Suggestion Title: Not allowing people to impersonate legitimate businesses, therefore resulting in loss of money for the player.

How would it benefit the server:

Actual Suggestion:
It is a form of trickery it's as simple as that.
Adding this to the scamming rule: "Impersonating any person or group in order to gain the trust of a person to give you money or items in a clearly beneficial way for yourself and non-beneficial way for the other party is forbidden."

Potential Issues/Exploits:
Groups being banned for providing the same service but under another name, should of course be excluded from any punishment.

Additional notes:
Since this is clearly a suggestion which would benefit me, let's make it simple. I don't want people tripping over such a scam, loosing their money to a fraud which they did not anticipate. Since I have encountered two cases of people impersonating my business I'd like this to be against the rules so no harm can be done in any way. Everyone should be encouraged to start their own business adventure and shouldn't be halted by another person who does abuse the name of one person or corporation in my case to scam people of their belongings without them knowing.

Of course.

Wouldn't this already go under the current scamming rule?

I think it's roleplay, if you don't you shouldn't run a "business".

As I said, there's no reason to ban anyone to use a name, unless they DO use it to scam another players.

Because there's law's in real life, this is a video game and trying to make rules to shape a SSRP server like an SRP server is a step in the wrong direction in my opinion.

Maya wrote: If you look at what I suggested I suggested to punish people for using a groups or persons name to abuse the persons trust in a way in which to gain benefits.

Pegasus wrote: Which would count as scamming, a rule that already exists.

I guess for sure ! +support

Raeker wrote: If you count that under the scamming rule I'm fine with that, just wanted this to be clarified so no harm could be done under my names cover.

Raeker wrote: Exactly. I'm not against this, I'm saying that it's unnecessary since staff members have the final word on the rules and can see them from any perspective.

could you make this post retard friendly

im asking for a friend

Raeker wrote: As far as I can see yes, if a user lost money to something like this that would obviously be a scam. No scams involving money or items is allowed no matter how go you rp it.

Simply no need for this at all, it's fine how it is as of for now.
