Metabaiting being added to the MOTD - Denied

Recommended Posts

 

How would this change better the server? -  The outcome of an update like this one, would be fewer new players  accidently doing wrong, therefore leading to them being punished for something they didn't know  that they couldn't do. And I know this cause I've been a victim of it, I don't remember the adminstrators name, but I have recieved a verbal warning for it. And I know that I will get some bad reviews, partially, maybe because this suggestion isn't very game changing, and  because its very minor. But also because I have built up a pretty bad reputation, based off of my actions ingame. And that is my fault. Anyways, enough with the small talk, I definetly think this would be more fair towards the newcomers, and preventing them from doing punishable things.

Are there any disadvantages of making this change to the server? If so, explain. -  Not any that I could think of, although it isn't  a very big suggestion, and I would understand if it wouldn't be accepted.

Who would this change mostly benefit? -  As mentioned in the first question, the unexperienced players. But not only them, also those that haven't heard of metabaiting before. There are many  unwritten rules, but I see this one as the vital one. Because I've seen many players doing it without even noticing.

Please link any workshop content, screenshots, or anything that you think may be helpful to those who view this suggestion - N/A

You're gonna need to define metabaiting for me, and the context of when it would come into play.

Also there shouldn't be any unwritten rules, which is why I tell people to tell me them so I can make them written.

I don’t exactly know what this suggestion is about, but if you are unclear of a rule in the MOTD, ask a staff member about it.

Yea, part of the suggestion is missing so there's no context.

Metabaiting, as far as my knowledge goes, is the act of throwing IC information into OOC, with the hope/reasonable expectation that someone will act upon it and metagame. 

For Example, if an MTF says in OOC "Oh hey CI's in EZ" after being killed, one could technicaly argue that they are not violating NLR due to them not using that information IC. I believe this rule would define that as being not allowed in the rules, even though in general it already isn't.
