Remove the ability to completely purge security's records with a button press

Post by SkeletalElite » #590697

Removing individual records is fine and you can still remove them all by doing it one at a time but it takes longer and is more effort.

There is no reason to completely wipe all records, it's literally just a button to grief sec.

Edit: Or restrict it to emagged records console

"I died as ninja. Please remove feature that makes it harder for me".

No. If anything the feature needs to be in that sets everybody to unarrest at the push of a button. Purging security records doesn't prevent someone from being set to arrest. You just have to manually put their name in and stop being so dependent on the game handing you what you want. It's given you the tools you need to do whatever you have to do.

There is a lot of very bizarre nonsense being talked on this forum. I shall now remain silent and logoff until my points are vindicated.

There is one great outcome from this: I rised up the blood pressure of some of you shitheads and lowered your lifespan. I'm honestly tempted to do this more often just to see you screech and writhe more, but that wouldn't be cool of me. So come on haters, show me some more of your high blood pressure please. 🖕🖕🖕

If you mean that someone using security records to set you on arrest is what kills you as ninja then this is the wrong thread for that. This one is about removing security records, not adding them.
If you mean that someone deleting security records is what kills you as ninja then you're dying for completely unrelated reasons rip

I can't really tell what you mean in general here though tbh

they mean that it counters ninja's hack ability on the security records console, which sets everyone to arrest

I can't help but think that the solution to this is to smash the consoles after hacking them

What if...

we keep it as is or similar for the ninja, but require other crew members to use emag?

Deleting security records is a feature that is predominately used by antags. I would suggest locking single record deletion behind HoS/Captain access and mass deletion behind emag.

That seems impractical, given that there's one at the bridge, a shitload at the brig, one at most (all?) arrivals and department security checkpoints for most (all?) maps...

he meant the emagged console dipshit, to make this post approved I have to provide insight. Let's just make it so only ninja can do this and emagged console.
