Partially Accepted Based on the information and evidence provided, the following actions will be taken: 1) I will update and clarify SCP 457 rules. SCP 457 is very rarely played as many people have pointed out, and these types of issues haven't been run into before/often, so we didn't know there was a problem with the rules. Moving forward on the next MOTD update, the following will be added to SCP 457's rules: - To be recontained, SCP-457 needs to be extinguished with a fire extinguisher. If 457 is sprayed by one or two fire extinguishers it will retreat from the area. If 457 is sprayed with three or more fire extinguishers it is extinguished immediately. At this point 457 can be safely cuffed and returned to its cell. 2) Due to the vagueness of the rule, the player in this case will be educated about the upcoming rule change moving forward. 3) Additionally, this incident was already handled in game by a staff member. Player reports are to be used for incidents that are not handled in game by staff. If you disagree with a decision made by a staff member, a staff report is the proper medium to air this grievance.

PARTIALLY ACCEPTED This situation and the final decision involves a variety of factors, and as I have recently been accused of favoring CI, I will, as always, discuss all factors that have led to my decision in the case. 1) Established Precedent From a Previous Report Under a previous report from a player on April 6th, 2020 (https://gaminglight.com/forums/topic/54954-oranges-player-report/) CI personnel reported that E11 personnel violated then MOTD rule "You may not shoot/interfere with Chaos Insurgency/D-Class that are outside the foundation unless it is on Defcon 3 or lower, and Epsilon-11 has been called. You are to act as if you were not there." E11 personnel had been requested by a Site Administration member despite not being able to validly due so based on the MOTD. In this case, the following actions were taken: - Case presentment established that the MOTD always trumps branch SOPs. - Established that it is the responsibility of branch command members to request updates to the MOTD when they would like rule changes. - In the decision that I previously authored, I stated, "Given the various factors involved in this report, such as confusion between MOTD vs SOP supremacy, the E-11 being requested to guard the DOC, and the clear directive of the MOTD, I will not be issuing a warning or taking enforcement action against the player in question. HOWEVER, this decision servers as a notice to all branches, reinforced by my personal conversations with each branch's command yesterday, that that MOTD is the law of the land. Any further actions that violate the MOTD, even if in compliance with branch SOPs, will result in warnings or other sanctions. Additionally, E-11 Command is directed to ensure their SOP is in compliance with the MOTD, or go through proper channels to suggest edits to the MOTD." 2) My Current Affiliation with CI While I am currently a 1 LT with CI, this does not, nor has ever impacted my ability to make impartial decisions based on warnings and reports that I handle on a day to day basis. I have played on this server since January of 2019, and have held the following positions: - GENSEC Command, Senior Field Trainer - Utility Senior Technician, Field Trainer - Utility Junior Janitor - MTF E-11 Private - Research Associate Researcher - CI Command, 1st Lieutenant, Supervisory Field Trainer, Head of Sawbones I have been involved in every single branch, including MTF, with the exception of the recently formed OMI, NU-7, Utility Medical, and O5/Site Administration. I approach each situation and each report in a neutral manner, and I believe that my experience working in these branches in fact makes me better suited to handle these types of reports, as I know the difficultly of working D-Block as a GENSEC Lance Corporal and having people line bait, I know the difficultly of being a researcher and having D-Class minge when you're trying to complete a test, and I know the difficultly of being an E-11 MTF member and trying to keep the facility secure from both CI and MTF. I am also acutely aware of the difficultly of being a command member and making decisions that affect others while being constrained by various policies and rules through my current position as a CI command member, previous position as a GENSEC command member, and real life experience as a police officer. 3) Facts in This Specific Incident The following occurred during this incident: - While on DEFCON 4 OMI WO Kilo requested E-11 personnel respond to the Foundation, which violates the following MOTD rule: You are not to shoot/interfere with Chaos Insurgency/D-Class that are either inside, or outside the foundation unless it is on DEFCON 3 or lower, or on DEFCON 4 and have been requested by a command member of Utility, Research, or GENSEC. - STF D4 Frost responded to the request for E11 assistance, but ordered E11 personnel to remain in the Entrance Zone, also violating the following MOTD rule: You are not to shoot/interfere with Chaos Insurgency/D-Class that are either inside, or outside the foundation unless it is on DEFCON 3 or lower, or on DEFCON 4 and have been requested by a command member of Utility, Research, or GENSEC. - When CI personnel confronted OMI and E11 personnel after the fact, E11 LCPL Rhodes specifically cited OMI's request as their reason for entrance, and OMI WO Kilo's statement when told he does not have the authority to make such a request of, "It's out of date" showing that he was at least aware of the rule being in the MOTD. Whereas given the above information, Including the previous report precedent in which all branch commands, including E-11, CI, Research, GENSEC, NU-7, Utility, and Site Administration were advised that the MOTD trumps any and all SOPs, including that a verbal warning was provided in the previous case to those individuals that violated MOTD rules based on a misunderstanding between the MOTD and SOP, and including that it was specifically stated that further instances of this type of misconduct would result in additional sanctions, the following actions are being taken: A formal warning is being issued to OMI WO Kilo for FailRP - Falsely Requesting E-11 A verbal warning is being issued in the form of this report response to STF D4 Frost for FailRP - E-11 On Site Without Proper Authorization

Gensec are supposed to have the advantage in firepower and training. On the other side Dclass do not need to wait NLR and can constantly swarm security making them unable to heal or simply overwhelming them. Dclass are powerful if played right, Same as with gensec. Nerfing dclass would make sense due to how many times a dclass can throw themselves at security meanwhile they are waiting NLR.

Tf is this report? being a GM is stressfull, just listen to them and you'll be fine.

you were supposed to say +support

@Igneous It's time to give up that throne buddy. Your time has come.

Denied. The SMT team for this server has decided against adding this suggestion for performance reasons, the benefit to the server, or another unstated reason. We feel the current map is a good fit for PoliceRP at the moment.

riotshields are disabled on all classes besides this one

I would like to see a new map for a change also

Especially because of Lag, how long it takes, etc.

+/- Support Map changes have been recommended dozens of times since the switch back to Rockford from Truenorth. I'd love a change back to Truenorth but its been denied every time.

Yessir

Couldn’t have said it better

I'll also action a permanent ban on your forums account have a nice day

Let's get one thing straight just because spamming is not against the rules doesn't mean this is invalid. You still didn't comply with staff who gave multiple warnings. From the video there is almost no way you missed half the staff team saying to stop.

+support Price is one of the good one. good luck buddy!!!!

-Support I admire how much you fight for this but its just not needed The use is limited, its a lot of What If, We know people get corrupt but its a part of High commands job to prevent that. If a person in High Command was Corrupt People would know and would just go to someone higher in the latter. we don't need a hole battalion dedicated to finding info and evidence, its just pointless when we have people that can do it already. Along with that its a bad look on the server if we have o had a battalion to stop corruption, it'll just push people away from trying to become a officer as they would fear the people that would constantly watch them. And Officers and commanders would always be watched, if you way they wouldn't that just throws pout the point of the battalion, as how can someone find and stop corruption ithout watching everyone. becoming a officer would turn into becoming a Politician, There would be no secrets kept from the "press" and if there was they would be heavily jugged. The Fact that you want it to only be IF and DT is kinda wack, this affects every person basically and you want people from only 2 battalions to join it, putting basis in the equation no matter what. If it would effect only Special Force's I could see this but it dosnt it effects every battalion so very battalion should be able to send people to be in it. The Overall meaning of the battalion is useless, dangerous due to corruption being able to reach anywhere, and just flat out a waste of time due to the extra steps and unneeded attention. And quick tip, if you way that the battalion wont have power and cant be corrupt then that's just dumb, you cant prevent corruption without power, and you cant have power without corruption being able to tempt anyone with access to the power.

-Support -Not very Active -Doesn't seam like he plans to stay in the battalion for long -Not on best terms With fellow members

cause you just edited it

this is more of a bug report then a suggestion id say, also its already set to be done

The main reason he was warned was because he spammed it after they were told to stop and then spammed it. Where did Zeeptin say it, I never saw that and last time I ever heard it wasn't allowed to spam it.

I feel like you're ready for staff and I also believe you would be a great addition to the team! Good luck!

Hi Craig

-Support -Inactive +good officer +Good guy - Not fit for VCMDR - Has been saying he wants to resign which isn't something you should say then apply for VCMDR

-Support for jay getting in trouble +Support for kilo getting in trouble cause he is only a WO that called that and only utility and what not can call em in All in all -Support this report is kinda wack neither of them knew about this so yea a -support from me.

Chat logs are in reverse order ie Older messages are towards the bottom and newer messages to the top. Chat box is in normal order ie Older messages are at the Top and newer messages towards the bottom. I shall attach a picture of the chat box to show what I mean. Therefore it can be seen that Kilo requested them in and then Frost said E11 stay in EZ to regroup and head out to deal with the said breaches Also please note that there was also a 106 breach at the time. Which was a reason for E11 to stay in. That is also in the chat logs I am going to attach. Im not saying they are not in the wrong even with this info, im just saying it may have been a misunderstanding. I will however be talking to the members involved and taking appropriate action. https://drive.google.com/file/d/13YLqGThNfGoRlqB_rh4asCPU1kManA84/view -Epsilon Eleven Colonel Zeus

if u read where i said there is a discrepancy between the SOP and MOTD u can clearly see i was un aware of any rule break. As I said before the MOTD come 1st. This do not put me in the wrong when there is a discrepancy between two guilds im meant to follow. With this being said the SOP needs to be updated. I clicked close on my SOP as well and understood what I read there as well. I do agree with u tho I will work to get SOP up to date

What keeps these people from even being corrupt? This seems like something thats just not needed.

I used a cup of Igneous to race munchies and few others to surface it was a great time!

pog, also Hello mate, its currently 1:20AM you should really go to bed

+Support Reasons Above Yes

I aint O5 Medic or Medical Command but he is a good choice

He has good rolls too. More + supports because of that
