So are IDs ooRP or inRP?

[Tenshi]

I was of the impression that IDs were already to be treated exclusively oorp ever since this change, seeing as that is the obvious, logical conclusion to come to. If IFFs are now properly locked to faction IDs (with the exception of generic and Wild/intel IDs), then the ID itself is no longer needed inrp to identify a character's affiliation. Likewise, generic/Wild/intel IDs' ability to spoof their IFF only makes sense if they can't immediately be exposed by scanning their ID. So IDs are essentially required to be oorp only.

This could and should be clarified in the server rules with a simple one-liner.

Additionally, IDs could be renamed to something else, since they no longer serve as a means to identify a character. The IFF does this now. Perhaps "ruleset" or "permissions" could be used instead.

I'd have replied here way sooner if I wasn't in the process of writing a post already, but damn I can't stress how much this post summarizes my thoughts.

Toaster is just correct in everything he's writing, and I think it's about time the server rules get updated on the matter, the bounty boards and the /bs command get updated respectively, and maybe even IDs get renamed to something less misleading - especially for newer players. Think about it, the term "IFF" has the word "ID = Identification" literally built into it.
