[03/03/2016] Official standing on dictatorships

[Narc]

Policy updated 03/03/2016

Dear community,

Seeing as many users have questions and various concerns on the matter of dictatorships, this thread is to inform you of do's and don'ts of the president job, if you are going to run strict laws.

Point 1: General information

In order to be a dictator, run strict laws or ban a specific thing, there are some guidelines you must follow.

Point 2: Banning of laws and official ruling

In order to dictate, you must have a well-planned dictatorship to roleplay, and not do it just for the sole reason to ban things.

Do not ban

Anyone with their default spawn in the city (BMDs, Gun Dealers, Doctors, etc.). You can disallow their operation with in the city, but not presence.
Walking/running/crouching/jumping or anything down that lane.
The use of suits outside of the Nexus (you may set a dresscode for the Nexus).
Eating, building homes (bases and big compounds and boarded windows CAN be banned).

Ban below only with reasons - examples

Vehicles (visible crashes seen in action,
Corleones/Rebels (only if you have factually seen/had reports of them breaking laws consistently).

User asked questions answered

Please ask questions below and they will be answered and listed.

Q: Is being a dictator a valid reason to be raided?
A: No. Only if your laws drastically impact people's lives, giving them a reason to raid you.

Q: If a president bans cars but you already have yours spawned and want to put it back is it a valid reason to be arrested if you're just entering the city to put it back in your inventory?
A: You should be allowed to go inside the city and put your vehicle away.

Q: Although you're not allowed to ban those who spawn in the city, can you ban them from operating? e.g Shops, transactions ect.
A: Yes, you may.

Sorry, but unless the spawns have been changed these people don't spawn in th city?
Correct me if I'm wrong though

Yes, it is. If it is a dictator following the means above.

Q: If a president bans cars but you already have yours spawned and want to put it back is it a valid reason to be arrested if you're just entering the city to put it back in your inventory?

You should be allowed to go inside the city and put your vehicle away, however it is no longer allowed to completely ban vehicles.

They've always been spawned in the city for a long time.

Aloha,

You want us to roleplay a reasonable and rational dictatorship ? That is kinda contradicting.
Dictators are not known for their reasonable behavior...

Can you state some reasons why one would even be a dictator now?
Usually a dictator creates his own truth and passes laws to fit his ideas but at the moment this is not allowed (?)

Why cant I set an overall dresscode if I am a dictator ? Pls name me one current dictator who has no dresscode - for example if I am to rp a socialist dictatorship I can not ban suits which kinda stupid because suits are a symbol of the bourgeousie - no proletarian dictator would allow this , or am i wrong?

I get why it could be difficult to ban people who spawn in the city , but it is more an organisational problem - you want to tell me I can not even ban the "scum" who brings a lot of crime to the city? Feel free to name me one dictator who would hand arms out ( or let arms been handed out) to normal citizen? It is a risk no dictator would ever bear. Can I atleast "ask" -asking like a dictator would ask- them to leave the city?

In the end stric laws are everything I can do if I am to do a "dictator" rp which is hardly call a dictator.
Dont get me wrong, I appreciate you are trying to decrease the aggressiveRP but maybe one should start cleaning up all those aggressive clans who do not contribute anything to the server but chaos.

Thank you for informing us,

Wasn't looking for opinions our ruling, cause it's not up for you to decide how it's going to be. Our playerbase cannot handle it, therefore it has been completely outlawed, whether or not you like it, this is your guidelines.
