What does this suggestion change/add/remove:
Lessen the use of OOC to include IC information.
& 'Metabaiting'.
'Keep IC information out of out of OOC.'
/
'No References to what is going on in a current on-going in-game situation.'
In most roleplay servers, saying IC Information in OOC is ruled against.
Saying things such as (I've copied these from the time I've played):
'/OOC CI disguised as an Ethics Member, lol'
'/OOC CI Raiding Ethics/F3 again'
'/OOC SCP-8837 is breached, time to go afk'
'/OOC 106 Stop Camping D-Block' (call a sit)
'/OOC All SCPs are on surface'
'/OOC OOC Guys, Still 3 SCPs breached'
(or similar, these are just common examples)
to send/gain information that will change someone's in character decisions should typically not allowed, yet are never punished.
'IC' in OOC Information that could still potentially be acceptable (SL's Discretion):
'/OOC [MTF] Tryout in 10 minutes, flag on Cadet'
'/OOC [MTF] Training'
'/OOC [SCP] Flag on'
Has something similar been suggested before? If so, why is your suggestion different?:
N/A
Possible Positives of the suggestion (At least 2):
+ Less RP Unintentionally Effected
+ Less Metabaiting
+ Less Metagame
+ Less Mixing
+ Less OOC Cope/Complaining
Possible Negatives of the suggestion:
- 'Just Report Metagame' - Metagame such as someone putting in subtle IC information in OOC may simply change another player's RP decision, most of the time not enough to even get evidence to claim metagame.
- 'It's already in the rules' - This suggestion is to make it strictly addressed in the rules so it is properly enforced in the future (this behaviour has been okay for years & never properly enforced)
- 1984
Based on the Positives & Negatives, why should this suggestion be accepted:
The words people say in OOC (intentionally or unintentionally) effect people's RP and encourage metagame/mixing.
