Rumour changes

[adam]

Right now, rumour is 60% saying retarded shit without facing RP consequences, and 40% being used properly. I think there could be a few ways to go about changing this. 

1 - Its removal entirely, and adding a system similar to the city board for creating an actual marketplace for criminals, and then enabling OOC. (The OOC part is optional)

2 - Adding a cooldown, to incentivize using it for its intended purpose, and enforcing misuse

3- Creating a flag for it, and whenever someone misuses it, they lose access for x amount of time based on the severity of the punishment.

 

It'll also make the server seem more serious to newer players, not seeing a glorified ooc chat going off with stupid messages 24/7

+1  Servers becoming a DarkRP. Option 1 is good but bring back ooc might not be the best shout. option 3 also sounds good. Maybe a mix of the first parts of both. 

- A market Place system that are flags given to crim faction members. They could then be taken away when misused.

I think a market place detracts from spur of the moment RP deals which rumour generally facilitates quite nicely

A cooldown wouldn't really reduce retarded messages by much and any significant cooldown impacts the usefulness of /rumour and what people enjoy using it for. (Yes even if that means anonymously talking shit a lot)

The most likely option is just creating a staff command to restrict someone's access to /rumour, similar to a timed mute, maybe that paired with a filter to block certain OOC / Retarded terms would help. Taking suggestions on terms that show up often that shouldn't be used.

I think that there's a certain sanctity to rumours. its the talk shit central. its fun. you're a killjoy.
