The construction worker was not currently on the job as they had finished the site already and my car was on their trip back. This situation does not classify as a "pit maneuver". It was on my own car which I had asked him to do for something other than to cause damage. As I said I have done a similar thing in real life taking great care not to damage the work truck and funnily enough the head of the project had the idea so I am arguing that point "quickly be fired".
Yes the administrator basically implied "because I said so" and looking at the official rules I still don't think this qualifies as any failRP especially given the appropriate "Roleplay" context and additional "acting" we put into it.
The purpose of my post isn't to ask the question of "if" it is failRP it is to push for the idea that respectable roleplay scenarios like this shouldn't be punished by administration so harshly.
Yes I get it, that isn't the "intended purpose" for a spawned work truck but neither is driving the crew to the bank or other places after a job, which I have seen many times go unpunished.
10 miles an hour, on the shoulder, hazards on, pushing a disabled car for a stranded guy on the side of the road for a couple minutes while not causing any damage? I feel the context allows for wiggle room if it is kept respectable.
The idea is to have a "realistic, respectable, and enjoyable experience" here and I feel this specific situation falls under that. If I can't question admin's decision in a respectable forum post, then why even offer community rule suggestions?
Further clarification is that we listened to the demands by administration and never continued doing that behavior and I instead brought it here for discussion. My bigger issue was the admin's "My way is right and no explanation other than my own (highly subjective) opinion will do and I will use every ounce of my ability to enforce it, even on new players" Using that mentality on such a small, and in my opinion innocent, instance is objectively toxic for the community. At least quote the actual rule he is enforcing, he legitimately made the server administration look reactive, abusive and unprofessional with the way he handled the situation in my opinion. This is intended as a post by a "community member" trying to make an argument of a specific scenario that was punished by administration which highlights negative "kill-joy" type mentality which hurts servers like this.
