What does this suggestion change/add/remove:
This suggestion will make it a power game to use a /me strips weapons bind.

Has something similar been suggested before? If so, why is your suggestion different?:
Not Sure.

Possible Positives of the suggestion (At least 2):
It gives use to the weapon checker, there isn't a point in using it if you can just /me strip weapons.
It makes it so you can't push one key on your keyboard and instantly strip someone's weapons.


Possible Negatives of the suggestion:
Not Sure.

Based on the Positives & Negatives, why should this suggestion be accepted:
I believe this suggestion should be accepted as it doesn't make sense that you can hit someone with a /me strips weapons bind and instantly take all of their weapons, we have weapon checkers for a reason.

-Support this would not work as only some people can strip weapons and how would someone strip chems without /me ?

Not going to leave a response on this.

However, MRP has a system where you hold E on a person and it opens a UI with the following options:
- View Profile (opens up the /character menu)
- Strip weapons and comms, same as the weapon checker

This option is given to everyone on the server so long as they have a gun out, the only apparent downside is the time it takes as you have to hold down the button and that you're locked in a menu.

Could be converted into a command like /panic was, turned into /stripcomms or /strip or /stripweapons when looking at a person.

Something like this would be ideal. Maybe also allow it to happen if they don't have a gun out, and if that's the case, the person being searched gets a prompt to allow it or not, for if they're e.g. going into a tribunal and want to hand their weapons over.

Unfortunately the current state of the weapon checker is not suitable to make /me's illegal.

Current issues with the WC is as follows
- It being avalible to a limited set of jobs. Some of which who would need it, Do not have it. (Prime examples, AO Operative jobs, D-class when escaped, SCU's, Combat medics)
- When someone strips weapons from you, should they die. Log out, or even change jobs for whatever reason. You are Unable to restore those weapons.

As someone who watched a single O1 strip 15 combatives weapons for a tribunal, Then crash due to a lag spike. No, This is not fun, No. This does not enhance roleplay.

I do believe a system like Flare suggested would be okay, though I can see it being a bit more complicated than the panic button system.

This has been ruled as Powergaming on US.

On UK it is NOT powergaming.

It is not powergaming on either server. Rulings are not different between the two servers. If a staff member is telling you it's powergaming, report them on the forums because they're dumb as shit.
My friend it has always been different, I play on both on US, and UK occasionally and have gotten rulings from BOTH sides that have confirmed what Im saying
