Rule 1.9 [backseat administration]
#16
Well I know what you're comming from but I have say this.

I understand that sometimes admins are not online so you can't really make an @ call about someone breaking the rules but really as a player you're not in the correct position to respond to it or to stop it.

If you really do want to stop it you can just post a player report on him and I'm sure an admin will look into it sooner or later.

But as far as it being against the rules for you to act on someone's rule breakage than most situations are going to against the rules for you and the server wouldn't be as fun. To explain this in a better way;

If someone tries to RDM you and you are a cop you can try to shoot or arrest him. He broke a rule but you can role-play it out. Same thing goes to a police officer randomly arresting you, you can go talk to the president or police sergeant and he'll demote him or talk to him IC.

The reason on why its against the rules is because players will start using that as an excuse to go around killing, arresting people for an OOC reason which is a rule breakage. Someone else might see the player who is doing that as also being against the rules and go and stop them. The next thing you know the whole server is an RDM fest.
