+ Refund request..? (Approved by BP)

[AOR Nova]

Hmm. I do apologise for the 'piss off bit', a bit too nervey. Will watch that. But I did request at the start several times over and over to move, so it got to me eventually :/

Anyways,

"The rules can possibly be made more clear, and we will look into that. But I must reiterate that there is nothing saying a civilian can't participate in tow activities whenever he/she wants, therefore it may have been unwise selecting a fine based upon this, yes?"

> I was wise to how the fine was being issued and the reason behind it. The reason was not that he was towing someone -
it was that with my presense, and me telling them to move (remember I do not know the "civs can tow or not" rule as its vague, and i misinterpereted it), and them continuing to knock the flipped user around with little care, and preventing and obstructing me from carrying out my own work (not to mention ramming the flipped car into me, whether tow attempt or not); that I felt warranted the fine.

Again, there is nothing saying that he can't participate wholly in a tow, but there is also nothing saying he can, especially once a tow has arrived to take over. I'm reiterating on the 'vagueness' bit. If it was made clear in the cop guide when I read it, that a civilian can partake in a tow alongside a official Tow even after being told to move, then I wouldn't have fined the lad, and this whole shambles between 1 rule wouldn't happen

That's why I'm slightly upset about the warning, because I've done something that isn't clearly stated and/or regulated either way. I had to take that into account, and draw a quick decision, and thus in the end I felt that the fine was justified and a reason was behind it.


Theres always a fine line (or fine print, in this matter), and a need for clarity in each rule, as well as for every rule to be in black and white, so that misinterpretations, misjudgements and human error would not take place.
I hope I've brought that to awareness now, and that the rulebook will be audited to include such a reminder/rule.

Would definitely appreciate if this can be further looked into and the warning is revoked.



Cheers

p.s-----
I would have appreciated that an in-game, email, or forum PM clarification on the matter before the warning was placed, as at that point, only one side of the story was heard.
Even on race server moderation with noobs and newbies, we have to at least understand both ends to some degree. Blatantly issuing a warning leaving the user in the dark, I personally feel is not the way to pursue matters.

If my URS (or someone else's) was far poorer than mine, and an admin action was issued without hearing the offendee (user,), a subsequent cop revoke, kick or ban would have been issued, I wouldn't think the matter would be discussed over this calmly and formally if that happened.

Yes, if it was clear as day, or a clear breakage of the rules and regos, then by all means, issue the fine. However, the fact that I was misguided by a vague rule, and instantly issued a warning and not given a chance to explain really what happened.

I therefore sincerely hope this is a one off.
G'day.
