Description of the incident: I was following a player around in order to investigate them for professionalism when once they grew enough suspicion they stopped looked at me and checked my profile rather than asking for ID. This follows under the metagaming rules as it provides the player ooc information using ooc sources that can influence their decisions and roleplay. When a sit was made for the individual the staff member instructed me it was not metagaming as metagaming can only take place after you look at their profile. Also I was informed by staff that everyone does it anyways so it's not metagaming. Metagaming by definition is using any outside sources or outside information your character would not normally have for IC roleplay or decisions. If needed clips can be provided for staff member in question but as this a player report and not a staff one I didn't feel the need to add. As a player it seems ridiculous that someone would be allowed to check you profile to see if you were a threat or not as your off the bat using an outside source you don't have ic to obtain ooc information in the middle of a IC roleplay, also you character must stay ic at all times.
