I think this is a lot like "Disturbing the Peace" in American law. Pretty much if you are doing something stupid and/or dangerous that is not directly against the law (I.E. ramping a Motorcross Bike off a slide in a childrens schoolyard...not that I have ever done that :$:secret:) then the police can arrest and even fine you.
I support this rule :D
Some say that he is allergic to a fungus found only between the toes of Corsairs,
and that he is oblivious to 98% of Liberty Law. All we know is... He's called the Busdriver!
I like how you worded it as arrest, then fine. It clearly speaks to the nature of American police force tactics. Or I should say, police tactics.
Back on topic. If we still had the highly amicable, but ultimately corrupt (sorry Hawkins) BulldogNK on staff I would expect this to be a liablity. In principle I understand it, and much like many things I accept it as a potentially evil neccesity.
However its nature would make one wish that its use is highly controlled and well thought out before any action is taken.
Living in today's worlds nooblet, I'm really surprised this concerns you. I'm not offtopicing towards some grand conspiracy theories but every government entity has set up their rules to cover their actions and not the actions of the "people".
In this case they have every right to, and I must say it works on that "take it or leave it basis"
Now I bet you don't mean anything wrong, but coupled with that post from few days ago, where you ask about the topic starter and admin and the entire business, someone might understand wrong and think you're pretty passive aggressive towards an certain admin.
Basically yes - It's there if someone is acting in a way that we think is harmful generally and is not covered by a specific rule. While the rules do cover many eventualities there will always be someone who finds a way around them. Another example I can think of is the whole "crash trading" or whatever it was - a sneaky trick to get more credits, i believe this was stopped under this rule.
At least that's how i view this rule - as for the other Admins, it's up to them to chime in.
What it is not is some kind of allowance to let us do what we like - though those out there who are in the "admins-killed-kennedy" camp will believe that's exactly what it's for. Contrary to their beliefs, Admins do in fact try to act for the good of the server rather than themselves or their friends.
