Of course you only picked apart that single thing within my post to try to be smart about it instead of trying to understand what it meant as a whole.

It's not my fault you have a hard time rubbing two braincells together. Extensive posts with numbered lists are not your jam, and pointing out the core issue with your train of thought is no good either.
You do not understand that "impartial information" is not a blank check to justify any spurious action you are about to take.
"Why did you disposal the clown when someone started a plasmafire in disposals?" "I didn't know there was a fire in disposals" <- understandable
"Why did you search a person when they had no clear indication of warranting it?" "I didn't know they weren't an antag" <- senseless
You do not understand that "losing is part of the game" is meant to cover situations in which a player suffers as a consequence of events outside their control and wholly unrelated to their character's progression, stemming from dozens of people all following their personal objectives.
This is not related to the current situation.
The discussion is centered on the rules that say how you can interact with the other players based on your role in the game. The officer needed in-game justification to take an in-game role defined action; they thought they were justified, someone disagreed.

When in my post I said people can do anything?
Powergaming isn't EVERYTHING. If you want to restrict powergaming you need to restrict everything on the same level then: murderboning, tiding, validhunting, etc
In short, you need to make it MRP
You have a fundamental misunderstanding of the game, what LRP is, and what powergaming is. This is not deathmatch station 13, and LRP is not zero roleplay. Everyone has a role, everyone is permitted some actions based on their role. The game is designed with a structure in mind and players are expected to follow it, because if they don't the round suffers from it. Powergaming involves trying to play "optimally" in the pursuit of victory. Powergaming is not rulebreaking, you would not call a griefer a powergamer. What the officer did according to the admin was breaking the rules of the role: no searches without good cause.
