What does this suggestion change/add/remove:
This Suggestion would add a rule clarification or addition that would classify specialized panic buttons as failrp or create a rule disallowing them, i should preface, when i say specialized panic buttons, i mean ones that call out a particular group, person or faction in the contents of the panic button
Has something similar been suggested before? If so, why is your suggestion different?:
Not to my knowledge
Possible Positives of the suggestion (At least 2):
The positives of this suggestion stem from both IC and OOC, ICly, kidnapping or attacking fellow foundation members for whatever reason becomes borderline impossible as the entire site can be made aware of "Nu7 hostile" and knows to immediately storm off to Nu7 bunks, this removes a large amount of potential RP to be found in investigating, questioning and confronting a kidnapper or department doing shady actions, OOCly, it makes zero sense for an individual to have a specialized panic button on a person/department/faction, panic buttons should be a universal distress call and having a whole host of them is taking the cake, especially for foundation staff to have panic buttons on fellow departments, eg being plenty of people have ISD based panic buttons calling out the likes of "Being kidnapped by O-1"
TLDR:
It would better RP as investigations, questioning and confrontations of supposed attackers and kidnappers doesnt get skipped
It does not make sense for foundation staff who work together to have panic buttons calling each other out
Possible Negatives of the suggestion:
I know ISD frequently use panic buttons against one another in their own comms channels, that makes more sense than other departments but apart from that i dont see any negatives
Based on the Positives & Negatives, why should this suggestion be accepted:
Based off the positives and negatives, i think this suggestion should be accepted on the basis that foundation staff having hand tailored panic buttons against one another simply does not make sense, i also think that it can be detrimental to small RP instigations and scenarios that end up voided due to some random MTF or DPT member having a specific ISD hostile panic button or GSD having a hostile IA panic button etc, as far as panic buttons based off individuals go, its general poor conduct which can be dealt with IC but still pushes the boundary of what makes sense
