What does this suggestion change/add/remove:
Sorting out the lack of enforcement regarding D-Class Fearrp in UK servers especially.

As of now, Staff don't really enforce it and neither do GSD care because they're new players. So I think we should just accept that D-Class can't be fearrp'd.

I was going to make a spin-off that you have to be a certain level however even then, it would be poorly enforced.

This was the spin-off idea:
Level-XX and above can not be fearrp'd as despite foundation attempts, this D-Class has enough experience and grown out of proportion from Normal Amnestics that he has realised he will not leave, and will continue to be tested with deadly SCPs.

However since it can't really be enforced either except if they are angry enough to level-check a class-d and call staff

So I just propose getting rid of D-Class Fearrp.

Has something similar been suggested before? If so, why is your suggestion different?:
N/A

Possible Positives of the suggestion (At least 2):
+ Rules are not enforced on D-Class regarding Fearrp therefore just eliminating the pointless hassle.
+ New players getting more breath ability as D-Class, don't want them meeting the one-time GSD who will report them for fearrp whilst other D-Class who are experienced get away with it.

Possible Negatives of the suggestion:
- Pain in the arse to interrogate D-Class and weaponcheck during sweeps however you can probably just shoot them if they refuse.
- Most problems can be sorted out with two bullets in the head if they refuse to comply.

Based on the Positives & Negatives, why should this suggestion be accepted:

It's not an enforced rule, it's likely not going to be enforced even further with effort. These are new players and experienced players combined and getting rid of it doesn't mean much as most solutions by GSD are done with two bullets to the head.

What? If GSD dont report it, report it yourself. If staff refuse to enforce it, make a staff complaint on the staff member. If there are no staff on, clip it and make a player report. There are various ways to ensure a rule gets enforced, and if staff arent doing so it is more than a rule issue, its a staff report issue. There is no need to change the rule.

If I were to report every D-class who broke it, half the playerbase would be banned.

Those who dont know its a issue will be warned and talked to about it, and if they care they wont do it again, and they may only get a talking to as its not the biggest rule break in the book. Those who know its wrong and continue to do it, deserve the punishment. If half the playerbase is okay with breaking rules, to the point they get banned, thats a bigger problem, which is a player base issue and not a rule issue.
 
Gonna say this as staff on the UK server. if fearRP Isn't being enforced by staff please forward it to us via the complaint section Staff not enforcing this should absolutely not be happening and we can't take corrective action if we don't know who isn't enforcing it.

As for it not being reported. Users should be reporting it. This is not a reason to remove the rule entirely.

So there are four things that usually prevent people from making reports
1. They don't give enough fucks to care
2. It takes 5-10 mins for out of the 10 staff on, one finally claims it.
3. Brotherhood code
4. Can end up becoming a target and will likely be called in to sit for the smallest of rule breaks because you mess with the wrong person.

Also, if you're getting upset about a Level 1 D-class not following fear RP, then I'm sorry, but you need to touch grass or reconsider your life decisions.

This sounds insane, but the more I think, this is actually just the natural counter to surrendering D-Class outside D-Block being constantly killed. Like... Fuck it. Just make everything surrounding D-Class behaviour an IC issue. Staff have better things to do, honestly. I think a more hands-off approach in general would be appropriate when it comes to D-Class.

I forsee this being a massive positive for: Retention, D-Class gameplay, Staff energy/morale/etc.

I forsee this being a massive negative for: GSD/RSD gameplay & players new to the server learning how it works (although in this instance I argue that GSD killing surrendering D-Class outside D-Block not being RDM and remaining an IC issue to be generally solved by ISD (despite nothing being realistically doable about that because of NLR, etc.) also being massively detrimental to players new to the server learning how it works, which is why I say it's a positive to retention; As this issue I tend to harp on I think is a negative for retention. It's frustrating and confusing and IMO, it just teaches new players that it's okay to RDM as GSD)

This is the one strong opinion I have about the rules and nothing's ever going to happen with it, because Staff are convinced there's no problem. So why not just stop concerning ourselves altogether with D-Class? You know what, nuclear option, if the sit in any way, shape or form involves a D-Class player that didn't do anything egregious like severe toxic, bug abusing, etc. then the sit just gets closed. Make D-Block the wild west. Go crazy.

I am a responsible, reasonable and well-adjusted person who can be trusted to make rational decisions 🤪

And???? "grown out of proportion from Normal Amnestics" One does not simply become immune to amnestics.

If D-Class didn't need to value their lives no slightly deadly test could occur because they'd just say no.

Counterpoint: Every D-Class test where a D-Class is in danger is FailRP on part of the D-Class, because the D-Class "didn't value their life realistically enough and placed themselves in danger too casually."

There's no winning here.

Counter Counter point: The D-Class will be killed by a guard if they refuse to test. They might survive the test they are in. There is a greater power in the dclass getting killed by a guard for refusing, as its a guaranteed death. A test is not a guaranteed death, making it not fail rp.
