Don't most People wait months upon months to even get a chance at corp?now im not aiming for corp hell im a shitty cop myself but i've heard some scary things about the wait it being sometimes 5+Months,specifing on a note that it shouldn't affect your promotion chances sounds like BS.
Now i don't know how the promotion process is done and how candidates are chosen and i might be completely wrong here but there has to be some sort of Quota for how many corps there can be at any given time no?Given the amount of Po's to corp ratio promotions should be somewhat rare. . .
Surely being presented with a file of two outstanding officers in a tie breaker one with a permanent note on his file regardless of it saying it shouldn't affect his chances wouldn't get picked over another with a perfect record right?No matter how you look at it favoring the player with a clean record means saying the note does have an effect but favoring the player with the note would also be kinda unfair for the guy without a note.
As for the topic of the question i'd swallow a ban and keep a clean file over getting a permanent note because at the end of the day we all subcontiously like clean and neat things. . .a note means we've made a mistake and regardless of that mistake it will follow us forever,considering that Corporal is only the first loop you have to jump through and each loop gets smaller and smaller no one in thier right mind would take a note with no punishment over a few days ban.
