Alright, I'm gonna go over the points, at the end there'll be a tldr
In the past during staffing times, there were situations that occured all the time and still do where players advert selling and or DOS and a few players swap jobs in order to handle what was adverted. Example: Person X is being sold, Person y swaps job person y "Buying X!". This was for the most part accepted as we can't monitor this 24/7 and literally handling the amount of metagaming that could and does happen is a pain. To summarise that metagaming you have to
Handle people who break NLR
Handle people who attempt to save after the advert
Handle people who swap to buy
All of this happens a lot and for the most part we did allow it.
Skip to sometime in the past 6 months and a situation occured with me where I asked a simple question. A student had free spelled me on an orange based job without a baton. I asked if a DOS was put onto them and I swapped would that be acceptable. I was told no, as that would be considered 'NLR'. Now I suppose this seems reasonable and to an extent I can understand. My arguement here would be why punish those who are trying to do right by the server. To an extent, prefecting helps improve quallity of the server in the right hands. Those who disobey some rules are arrested and therefor allowing this happen would be okay. Anyway, it was a solid no by staff.
Skip forward (Literally in the past 24 hours) a staff member decided to do what I had described in the situation in the first paragraph regarding selling. This perplexes me as it involves the same metagaming i was told off for. Before we argue, these people are in the same position and have been on the staff team a long time.
So what I'm curious about is:
Does advert NLR count only if you were the person to advert
or
If you are not an auror/Df member
and
Should advert NLR only be a thing if it's negatively impactful? I.E Reveals
OR
At all times, which includes selling and DOS
