PassiveRP Overprotected

[Marty]

As I am sure most of you are aware, yet again merely looking the wrong way at a passiveRP is a banable offence.

Now there's a few points I would like to make before I go enter Rant mode. Firstly I  not against passiveRP nor am I against Agressive RP. Although I lean more towards Agressive as quite often passive can become rather boring.

Recently players were banned for throwing a Molotov into a Passive Roleplay, something I have done a few times but only when it fits with my RP, an example would be Mafia/Protection Racket RP which is quite fun if it's done right.

The issue I currently have is that we are seeing more bans/blacklists/warnings and punishments for as much as even looking at a passiveRP wrong.

Over and above that many players have a common misconception that if they build a shop it's automatically passive, wrong, if you build a shop for whatever means and use Agressive actions or employ security guards that can be seen with a gun, knife, ASP Batton, or even punches/manhandles people it's no longer passive. An example that I would like to use is a petrol station RP that was being run by a teacher, as I approached as a police I was screamed at via mic and LOOC that I was fuming a passiveRP even though there was a guy standing there with a knife....crazy.

Now the issues that most players have is admins are still enforcing unwritten rules, regardless of the case "players should know better" why should they receive punishment for something someone, somewhere has made up or simply pulled out of their ass ?

Here is a link to the rules: http://www.fearlessrp.net/rules.php

And here is a quote from NightHawkd who appears to have made up a rule.

Spoiler :

Ok. Ruining passiveRP has always been a punishable offence. It has been this way even when the old staff was around. The only time that aggressiveRP can "go into" passiveRP is if all sides are in agreement about it. So if you all agreed that it was fine then please show it as that will then invalidate this ban otherwise this ban is completely valid.

My request to the staff members of Fearless is firstly, please stop enforcing unwritten rules, secondly please stop protecting PassiveRP like every great is passive and the sun shines out of its arse, and lastly please stop treating Agressive RP like the worst thing to happen to mankind.

Also before I start getting hate from moderators or administrators this post is in no way meant to undermine or hate on you. The duties you carry out I respect however I do not respect unfairness.
