The most IMPORTANT possible suggestion - Denied

[Backhand134 SuperiorServers.co]

Suggestion: Require all mods/admins and all police, to reread the MOTD. 

 

I just had a sit with ~5 cops and 2 admins and i was accused of breaking the rules by having printers as a gun dealer. 

 

Once i let them know that i had just read the motd yesterday and knew for a fact I wasn't breaking any rules I was then accosted for "acting like i knew more" than ~5 officers and 2 admins 

 

All the while I'm being as calm and cordial as possible. I've played on other gmod servers a lot and have no problem being respectful during a sit. 

 

Finally one of the admins decided to go read through the motd while 3 players (including me), ~5 police officers, and the 2 mods were forced to sit there for quite a while

Eventually he found that I was correct; it is okay to have printers as a gun dealer. 

 

He did finally admit he was wrong and we were then able to go about our business. 

 

CONCLUSION: it is a serious threat to the integrity of the game if Police and **especially** admins don't know the rules. 

 

I think it would be beneficial for the game as a whole if at the very least Officers and admins are required to reread the MOTD in it's entirety. 

 

Thank you for your consideration. 

 

*********Less needed but still relevant backstory*********

 

I'll try to make this quick:

 

Basically me and a random guy I met decided to build a gun shop together, he is very new so I was showing him how to build and how to make money. 

 

We had a totally legal gun store, both licensed and only selling pistols. We did this to ensure there would be no reason police could raid us. 

 

After a while we both had high tier printers and were having a grand ol time running the gun shop. 

 

Then, this random player (no mic) decided he wanted to hang out in the shop i guess, and he would dance and we'd laugh, yada yada. 

 

For some reason this guy decided to place some crates of illegal weapons on our counter, i think he wanted to give them to us. I told him we don't want them because it was a legal shop and we didn't want to get raided. I asked him to put them away. 

 

Just at that moment of course, a cop walks in the store and says "are those illegal weapons?"

 

Shit. 

 

Before we know it the whole force is in our shop and arresting this random guy. I told them he brought the guns in and this is a legal gun shop only. 

 

Then the cops decided that since the weapons were technically in my store that they had probable cause to raid us. 

 

I didn't believe that wss probable cause, since they weren't my weapons and even the random guy admitted they were his and we didn't sell them to him. 

 

So i called an admin to sort this out. 

 

And the rest is history i guess. 

 

My main concern now is that people can just go in anyones store and say they have illegal weapons, effectively swatting anyone they want and i belive that is a detriment to the server. 

 

Anyone who read this far, do you believe weapons that are effectively outside the base should warrent probably cause for a police raid? 

 

Thanks for reading.

Didn’t follow the format

There would also be no way to track if people have read the MOTD
