Denied Make PW BD less convenient to open

[Zen]

What does this suggestion change/add/remove:
Make it less convenient to open PW BD than it is to just go via CPC.

Two possible implementations:

• Set the keypads at the PW BD to only close it, not open it (inverse of how biohazard doors work). Put a separate keypad or two in a separate location, e.g. IA offices, Core Sector, LCZ electrical (one either side of the BD, just further away).
• Set the existing keypads to only close, not open (like above), but add a second keypad on each side of the BD to open it, with the new keypad being CL4 codedto open.
  • Only give the open code to IA CL4s, SA, and SC (maybe also assistants, but not ISD).

Has something similar been suggested before? If so, why is your suggestion different?:
Not that I am aware.

Possible Positives of the suggestion (At least 2):

• Reduce/prevent incidents where people open PW BD to get in/out instead of CPC simply because it's quicker, causing SCPs to get into PW and fuck over non-combatives' RP entirely.
• Increased usage of CPC for its intended purpose, instead of people ignoring it.
• Removes the RP incentive for people to use this to escape SCPs at the expense of fucking over PW - they get to the door and die like real Foundation personnel.

Possible Negatives of the suggestion:

• Makes it slightly slower to get places when BD is closed (cry about it, you're the problem)
• CI raid balance when PW BD closed (makes it moderately harder to open, but imo not a huge issue)
• Could be abused by people that have CL4 cards - they close it and it becomes harder for people to open it when it's supposed to be.

Based on the Positives & Negatives, why should this suggestion be accepted:
This would remove/reduce a constant issue that severely disrupts non-combatives like RSD during breaches. In my opinion, doing this when it's unnecessary and CPC is safe should be considered FailRP anyway, but staff say it isn't so apparently something else needs to be done. UK IA keep having to station at the BD and arrest people, otherwise they just do it and get away with it, but they keep doing it anyway.

another alternative would be to remove the keycard scanners all together and adding one for the bulkhead in a security location IE SS cam room or something like that (could also be done for HCZ BD's although i feel E-11 should have an open only KCS in their bunks as people often seem to fuck E-11 over as they cannot open hcz BD's by themselves due to lack of cl4 E-11 on at the time)

on another hand i feel it being kept as it is makes more sense as if you remove the ability for people to open a high traffic area door (even though its only cl4+ which isn't exactly a rare clearance these days). IC repercussions should just be enforced more as opening the door during a breach could be counted as misuse of the door aswell as putting PW at risk.

I agree people love going through there to save time during a breach right there, ruins the whole point of a Bulk Door there
