Calling a taxi using taxi hotline just to rob them

[DLimit]

The player leaves his full name and phone number for the taxi service company to record and utilize against the suspect in court... it should be an I.C. issue.

I think you should be allowed to call a taxi and rob it but only under ADMIN SUPERVISION. Just like... robbing a business. I mean, that's basically what you are doing.

I dont personally  see an issue with having a partition as long as its just a plastic partition. The cop cars dont even have bulletproof partitions. The partiton would still fend of robberies made by people who has melee weapons, which they do in real life meanwhile robbers armed with firearms would still be an issue for drivers.

This is becoming a common occurrence. Me and Omar got robbed today for, taxi, gun, cash etc etc by two kids RPing in the range of "14-16" according to /examine.

Ask yourselfs this, is this the kind of roleplay you want to see? Children with guns calling THE TAXI HOTLINE to rob them? When you only get about 2 or 3 taxi calls an hour. 

As I said, these aren't coming from people hailing taxi's in the street but calling the official taxi hotline.

Having a 50% chance of being robbed during a ride while only getting about 3 requests a shift pushes people away from taxi RP! ?

I've ended up losing more money then actually making it multiple times.

Having to buy a new phone every two days isn't really fun either.

100% support this. Taxi drivers like yourself put in a lot of effort to roleplay realistic characters and it makes peoples' day. Taxi drivers don't get paid that much anyways, so it's a huge disincentive for potential roleplayers in this area. Because let's be honest, why would someone bother, when all their profits and tips get robbed every few rides? Too common an occurrence.

 

If not this, then perhaps a lower limit would be in order to lessen the occurrence of taxi robberies, or at least lessen the negative consequence. Say, $250 maximum if you're robbing an active taxi driver. This would make it more focused around roleplay should a robbery occur, not just the monetary gain.

It's pretty simple, do people in this server want taxis's around? Yes? Then make this a rule. The people that calls a taxi just to rob them are the lowest of the low in terms of standards.

Big support on this. There's already little motivation to roleplay as a taxi driver - you definitely wouldn't want to keep at it if you just got robbed. +1
