    I'm not talking about adding a button that will forgive the player and discard the report i'm talking about a system that would be helpful if there was no staff online like of someone kills you accidently and you want to forgive the report against them you could press the forgive button that would say on the report that you forgive the person so if the staff handling the report sees that it didn't cause an rdm chain they wouldn't slay the person being reported

    -1. There's already a rule that states that Staff can reject forgiveness.

    I know that they can reject forgiveness and i'm not saying that you can just get rid of the report. I'm just saying that if you add a forgive button on reports it would appear as a little note on the side of the report that it was forgiven. The staff member does not have to accept the forgiveness. it would be an easier way to forgive rather than tell the staff because the staff might not see you ask

    Major +1 to this, it is very easy to miss forgiveness in chat even when you say it in admin chat if it is busy, with the f8 menu up it is hard to read, so having the ability to see they forgave in the report would be nice!

    Maro Lupus I don't know what to make this VIP

    Even if staff do not want to accept the forgiveness, it would be nice to make it obvious to them that there is a show of it. +1

    the guidelines of suggestions says to do your homework and check for similar suggestions before making another, it took me 2 seconds to find all these suggestions which are the same as this one but all denied , every single arguement you can think of has had a counter arguement by lead administration and owners

    after checking through nearly all of these threads it seems that all of them suggest different things than this thread is suggesting, if you gonna tell me to do homework before making a post maybe you should read more than the title of the thread before commenting

    but its not really that different, all i see thats different is that its for "when someone kills you accidentally and theres not staff on" but whats the difference? the button would simply have to be there all the time it MIGHT be possible to make it only show when theres no staff on but the server doesnt know what is/isnt accidental and that just brings up previous counter arguments of people forgiving wrongly

    The button doesn't discard the report it just says that it is forgiven and the staff member can decide to slay or not to slay
    staff already can discard forgiven reports if it is said to admin chat, this just makes it easier to see if it is forgiven so that they dont miss a message in admin chat or if there was no staff on at all

    It is the mod's/admin's discretion when to accept or deny the forgiveness. I don't see any favoritism there. Imagine the mod not liking you, the person forgives you, but they deny it. While people they like, they get accepted. Nah, I don't see any flaw in that. Either you accept every forgiveness report, or you don't. Can't make a judgement call on who to slay or not to slay when they have been forgiven.

    +1 because if little jimmy slams a barrel into my head when i'm an innocent and I don't give a shit..
    I should be allowed to press forgive and just move on and the staff can just mark it as finished when they get on.

    All of these are from times when mods did not have the ability to accept forgiveness, times have changed, this is a good topic.

    fuck man I missed so many chances to reject this in the past

    Don’t want to confuse players with a moderator overriding what seems to be forgiveness that automatically invalidates a case. Would cause more chaos than good, could encourage more friend on friend rdm I.e detectives tasing each other/shooting each others toes for fun/etc.

    If we DID add a forgive button, I'd say at the very least we should put a disclaimer under it that says that the staff have the right to reject forgiveness, or that it is only a request for forgiveness and not guaranteed.

    seems like a great idea, I remember playing in Moat and they had it, it made stuff a whole lot easier, Altho I see why staff can deny forgiveness

    This. We are a serious community, and that is why our rules are so strict when it comes to RDM. Thanks for suggesting but this wont be implemented.
