Denied 008 Noises Rule

[Zen]

What does this suggestion change/add/remove:
Either fix the noises being global (and thus us not knowing if we actually know IC that 008 is present), or have a rule that anyone doing anything with 008 must tell staff first so that they can immediately confirm if 008 is valid in /ooc.

Has something similar been suggested before? If so, why is your suggestion different?:
I can't tell, because you cannot search for the term "008" on the forums, and I am not searching every suggestion ever made manually.

Possible Positives of the suggestion (At least 2):
If fixed:

• No confusion about what we do/don't know in-character about 008 breaches.

If rule made:

• Confusion can be quickly cleared up by staff, as they know what is going on already and can just quickly respond when people ask if it is valid.

Possible Negatives of the suggestion:
If fixed:

• This would take a bit of dev time to implement
• Decision would have to be made on where the sound should be heard

If rule made

• People have to contact staff before every 008 activity, which takes like 5 seconds of their time, and may interfere slightly if under pressure (e.g. being chased by Foundation staff into containment cell).
• Staff have to pay attention to 008 calls

Based on the Positives & Negatives, why should this suggestion be accepted:
Either of these would significantly improve the RP around 008 breaches, as we'd actually know what was going on and what we knew in-character.

I'm fine with the zombie noises, I like them, I just don't want to be able to hear them on the other side of the map and be confused as to whether I heard that IC or not

When CI spawn them at their base for sampling, I shouldn't be able to hear zombies in LHCZ

Denied - Whilist we understand the reasoning behind this suggestion, there's no point in adding a rule about this since Staff will immediatelly ask or check if a 008 breach is valid or rule. Furtheremore, we'll check with the content team the sounds that SCP-008 makes and see if it requires changes.
