Denied SCP anonymity | Reduce MetaRoleplay

[ScavBane]

What does this suggestion change/add/remove:
Makes all SCPs on the leaderboard be presented as
SCP-LCZ
SCP-UHCZ
SCP-LHCZ
to symbolise that SCPs are online in those areas but do not show which numbers are online.

This does not change the announcement system of "SCP-079 is now on-site" as that is in roleplay, however people can no longer check on the leaderboard which SCPs are possibly breached OOC.

To solve the researcher issue,

Has something similar been suggested before? If so, why is your suggestion different?:
Jack Raider suggested something similar.

Possible Positives of the suggestion (At least 2):
- Reduces Meta.
- Allows Researchers to still see if someone has flagged onto an SCP.
- More immersive roleplay as people should hear out if an SCP is on-site rather than just learn OOC.
- Protects Staff from the 800 list complaint of meta roleplay from 079 players.
- Makes the SCP announcement saying "SCP-XXX is now available" actually helpful instead of just another annoying sound in your ear.
- Improves the purpose of HCZ Sweeps, as currently they like to skip some patrol locations knowing that there won't be an SCP online in that area such as SCP-966.

Possible Negatives of the suggestion:
- N/A Staff can still see the player on the SCP even if it's XXX through logs, so any problems with server rules can still be enforced.

Based on the Positives & Negatives, why should this suggestion be accepted:
Generally just improves immersion of the server and realism.

Partially Accepted - Redacting Specific Jobs on TAB menu

What does this suggestion change/add/remove: This suggestion redacts specific information about some of the jobs on the TAB menu. Some examples (if you have better ideas make sure to send them in the comments!): General Security Department: Cadet, Guard, Officer, Sergeant would be displayed as...

civilnetworks.net

+supp, but won't be accepted as I already suggested it.

May I see the original suggestion?

The issue was the fact they need Reseearchers to see the SCP, the problem is that Researchers already ask SCPs to flag on when they arrive so.

What if we just change it to represent the area rather than the SCP.

Like
SCP-LCZ
SCP-UHCZ
SCP-LHCZ

To simplify it down so that Researchers know SCPs are logged on in that area.

It significantly reduces the issue, also to re-iterate no researcher on Uk server cares if they aren't online when they arrive. Just as long as someone flags on in the next 10 minutes.

Suggestion Denied​

---

Hi @ScavBane ,

Thanks for taking the time to make a server suggestion.

The Content Team has chosen to deny your suggestion due to the following reason(s):

Content Team believe that anonymising SCP names would have a negative impact on the gameplay loop for RSD as they would have difficulties identifying what SCPs are on site for them to test on. Furthermore, player identification would be much harder.

If you believe someone has metagamed you based on the SCP that you are playing, you should report this to staff in-game as it happens.

Your suggestion will now be locked and marked as denied.​
