FR5 only using TLAGSNET?

[Hielor]

Sure, via forum. But because he wasn't contacted, I didn't add the §2.2.4.1. to the entry. (violation of order)

Not everyone reads the forum every day. It would be near impossible for someone who isn't a regular forum-goer to find a thread about them if they didn't know they should be looking for it.

And why the hell shall we warn one? The laws are published. Anyone shall read them if he want to interact in Rheinland. (Dot)

But he's not interacting in Rheinland, he's trading in Rheinland and getting punished without any interaction at all. This, to me, seems pretty darn close to using the player list to impose in-game punishments based upon what system someone is in.

See what Zelot said:

The point of this tool is to generate more opportunity for police factions to have meaningful interactions ingame, not to remove the need to have any interactions at all.

By allowing your members and indies to have fines imposed (and, potentially, FR5s imposed, if the trader comes back) based solely on a TLAGSNET report, you're encouraging them to completely avoid the need for RP and still "win." Why bother chasing halfway across Rheinland to catch a criminal, and risk losing him (or getting shot down!) when you can just fire off a PM from the safety of a base and have the same effect? This just discourages RP.

As I said, Indies cannot be forced to non-canon RP.

But you, as the official faction, can do the right thing to encourage roleplay by not accepting reports that don't at least show an attempt to interact with the individual.

And? there are more LPIs then RFPs around. So the police-trader-ratio is better there.

2 police for 15 traders is a worse ratio than the 1 police for 2 traders you've got going on in Rheinland. Anyway, the discussion about whose job is harder is departing from the original point of the thread.
