If I were you I would definitely still submit the IA. Although it appears their handbook allows this, I can't imagine they would wanna set the precedent that cops are able to do this. If you submit one they may still take action and may even be willing to reword their own handbook. If not then I am sure a civilian representative could bring it to roundtable as that really shouldn't be a standard for civilian and cop interactions, especially if you guys are paying your tickets.

@ Saul Goodman Still an approved item just needs to be picked up by one of us to do

All seriousness though if you believe there was any wrong-doing please submit a Staff IA- it would be handled by people higher than me

All do respect I think you're being dismissive of my entire point. A demand asking a Medic or APD member to break a handbook rule is not a reasonable demand as then they would be liable for that violation internally within the faction. Any other reasonable demand would have sufficed. Perhaps that is something we could add to the supplemental section to make it more implicitly clear but I don't think by precedent valuing ones life should take priority over handbook rules. It would be extremely harmful if civilians could walk up to medics and say "give me your R&R skinned heli or die".

Honestly I can understand the ban reason. Under the Altis Life Rules Supplemental page in the RDM common misconceptions section it states: In this case here I would opt to say that the demand was not reasonable. I would equate it similar to if someone asked a medic to drop their uniform or other medic specific gear. Although medics must value their lives, they must value the handbook first and they cannot comply to such a demand that asks them to break it. For what it's worth, I don't see a ban like this making much of a difference for those aspirations. The APD requires you not have a ban for two weeks prior to your application for it to be accepted but I could see them waiving this if you explained the circumstances. As for administration, although no recent bans is highly desired; there also is really nothing saying having a recent ban makes you ineligible. Realistically no one is immune to mistakes and that's why the Staff IA section exists. For a report like this I would've personally given a warning- really just not a super big deal in my eyes. You might be able to negotiate that in supplement of your ban if your concern is having it on your record. The warning would still remain part of your record as well but it won't bar you from joining the APD at all in any case. A complete lift though would probably be too far out of the question since I would agree that this was ultimately a rule break. Anyway either way I wouldn't fret it

If I am being completely honest, you're probably cooked for a long time. The majority of cheaters we ban stay banned forever. The ones who do get unbanned usually have to wait 3 years to even be considered. Cheating is one the worst infractions one can make as it gives you an extremely unfair and gameplay ruining advantage over other players. For that reason we take it very seriously and the appeal process is quite harsh.

I'm not sure I'd say they don't do anything to deserve it but the hostage taking concerns are definitely fair and legitimate concerns to have.

This was proposed a yearish ago and initially I was a supporter as like "who cares if medics can gamble". I think someone made the good point though that almost all the time there are usually revives around the map, even if they are in far distant areas. Right now I feel like there are still so many medics that would prefer to loiter in Kavala or high populated areas for quick revives bound to happen then travel for them. Which leaves a lot of players in other areas of the map SOL. My concern would be is that would make that problem worse. That said R&R also has such little they need to pay for like the APD, only real expenditure is vehicles and vehicle insurance. Maybe something that prevents medics from gambling while a revive is active? Maybe allow them the ability to gamble only a short time after a successful revive? Would be for R&R to bring up a more concrete idea but I wouldn't be proposed myself if those previously mentioned concerns were somehow addressed.

Hi, I can't disclose any information on active scripting bans but would like to clear this up. The video you had featured we would more defined as exploiting. Arma 3 is a client authoritative game and mission creators will sometimes write code that makes themselves vulnerable to execution exploits due to the games naturally insecure nature. In the beginning of the video you see him open debug console and have it blurred out. That is how he was executing the code that he was and doing the stuff he was. Point being is that what he was doing was an exploit of the server developers mission file. The scope of what he was doing he would not be able to do on any other server, including ours. When we ban people for scripting, we are usually banning them for injection related hacks that would violate Bohemia's TOS. The reason he is not banned here is for the same reason we wouldn't likely ever carry over a duping ban from another server. Because the scope is isolated to that server and it's not worthwhile enforcing here. That said, if anyone was doing something like that here; it would obviously absolutely result in a perm. Just wanted to put that out here as someone who also wants to see the server ridden of Aegis specific issues
