It's not a contradiction. I said it's not SPECIFICALLY forbidden, as in not addressed directly. In the second part of that sentence I explained to you why it is still not allowed. You would mostly only use your taser to make an attempt at arresting a player. Why else would you use your taser?

I never said you have to arrest someone right after you tase them. I said that logically speaking you would only use your taser if you were making an attempt at arresting a player. Anything else would basically be using the taser for an unintended purpose.

It's true that the rule could have been more specific and I'm sure that we are gonna be more careful when specifying event rules in the future. As I mentioned before, using a taser can be classed as "making an attempt to arrest someone". That's literally the purpose of the taser.

Since when is holding an event in RP areas against the rules? The event has been announced via server announcements and we've put text screens to every entrance to the event area. As long as the lead team announces an event in an RP area properly it's not against the rules. The paycheck lady wasn't in that district anymore by the way.

[quote="Jaden." post=1244281]Doesn't your outcome contradict itself? I'm not too angry about the ban, but I'm really disappointed in how you guys are handling this situation. You first went on saying that I was punished for "breaching the rules that were clearly outlined at the entrance to the event area" but then you go onto say "now it is true that the event rules didn't specifically forbid tasing itself." Right there is a pure contradiction of your leading statement.[/quote] It's not a contradiction. I said it's not [i]SPECIFICALLY[/i] forbidden, as in not addressed directly.

[quote="Jaden." post=1244281]You then follow up by saying that you have to arrest after you tase someone, but that isn't correct. If the event rules said no arresting, I had every right to begin shooting him instead of arresting him when he was released from his tasered state.[/quote] I never said you have to arrest someone right after you tase them.

[quote="Jaden." post=1244281]To say that it's my fault for not following rules that weren't strictly put in place is outrageous. Plus, in your outcome, you're acting like I was trying to arrest people when you said, "it's understandable that you would be kicked out of the event / punished for using it during the event, especially if attempting to arrest participants is against the event rules," when I never had any intentions of making an arrest as I never pulled out a baton.[/quote] It's true that the rule could have been more specific and I'm sure that we are gonna be more careful when specifying event rules in the future.

[quote="Jaden." post=1244281]In addition, his event was literally held in RP, and in an illegal spot. If you want to get technical, wasn't their nuke blocking the paycheck NPC as well? Additionally, as stated in the SSRP rules its a cop's duty to keep the streets free of crime, and a nuke is a major disturbance in city law. Therefore, what I did was totally acceptable as I didn't break any rules, and this is a clear abuse of bias power. If you really want to talk about anyone breaking rules, it should be the lead team members that participated in the event, and they should be handed out proper punishments.[/quote] Since when is holding an event in RP areas against the rules?
