Look, I at least get WHERE you're coming from, but saying "forums are ooc and vdm is an ooc rule", is disingenuous, and outright wrong.
Forums are a term, a thing an idea, not a name. It's not like saying Discord, GTAO, or Facebook which are IRL entities (which people DO talk about IC and dont get punished for ), its like saying cell phones or email. Its a technological thing that EXISTS.
VDM, is not an ooc rule as far as your discord and forum say. CAR RAMMING is explicitly on your forums for ramming cars AND people. So VDM isnt even in your rules, and is an acronym.
Which, whos to say it isn't IC? "Hey man, they're trying to Vehicle deathmatch you, just ignore him" isn't an unrealistic thing to say. especially since its not even on your rule list... would it be better to say VMS? Vehicular Manslaughter? Bc that's also ooc but exactly what it is. Let alone whos to say that's what I meant by VDM? IC to my character, it means Vehicle Damage-based Manslaughter. So I would still argue its IC.
Also, saying Clip is OOC? Am I not allowed to have bodycam or go-pro footage recording to clip and post to the IC forums? That's literally what we're told to do, by admins, and by orgs. Or are we seriously saying the IC explanation is that I can upload my characters brain memory of vision to gods. That makes more sense?
Look, you wanna get people for saying "hmu on discord", or "dude turn down your mic", or "bro that's against server rules you cant play like that", sure, makes sense, it breaks the RP. But doing things that are literally possible IC in universe, let alone to a new player who doesn't know half of the Dictionary of rules you expect us to all know without fail and no leeway, is a bit heavy handed.
