Why a RDM rule on DarkRP?

[nutbuster]

Wait, so in darkrp you are roleplaying in a criminal infested town and you have to be a criminal or fight the criminals as police, or just be a bystander. But in these server 100% (of what I've seen) has an rdm rule. That means you can't kill anyone randomly. But why is that a rule? It's all about roleplay so if someone wants to roleplay as a criminal killing anyone in sight others should realize and try to hide or defend themselves, and wait until the police put him down. You you should be able to kill who you want since it is roleplay.My point is, if someone is killing then the roleplay should be adjusted to make it work. And the whole "calling raid" I don't like it but it isn't as big as this rdm rule. Why don't server creators make a free rdm darkrp server?

EDIT: I'm glad a lot of people can relate XD but for some reason people are seeing what I'm saying as some sort of insult. To be clear I'm not saying the servers are bad or they're doing it wrong and I understand why the rdm rule is there. I just want it loosened so that roleplay can actually be roleplay. <3

Two things:
First of all this is in the wrong section, it's not a bug. It's a rule. You should try posting this in the server's community Steam Group page.
Second, the rule is in place to prevent the server from turning into sandbox. As an administrator on multiple servers, I know that being in a situation where one was killed for a non-roleplay reason is very annoying. If you had a gun and got randomly shot, you lose the gun, you lose money, you start at spawn. Very tedious.
I also want to point out that the advertise system is in place to let others know you are initiating roleplay. It also helps administrators determine whether a kill was RDM or not. While this could be tedious, you are able to bind an advertisement to a key and press the bind whenever you are initiating roleplay.

FOR REAL THERES GONNA BE A DARK RP PURGE SERVER WHERE YOU GET TO HAVE A LIMITED TIME TO RDM.

[100% lob juice]

RDM is the most stupid rule in roleplay servers. It achieves nothing for the server but 20 minute long admin situations crying about who killed who "randomly", which ironically hurts the rp experience more than "randomly killing" ever could.

I mean... the game gave you guns...........asdasdas

[Max_Sneedstappen]

i agree and half the time admins arent on and it happens

[Army of Humans]

dude would you want a guy killing you evry time you spawn and you cant do anything? would you want? i think not so stop crying and take it like a man

[tynacity]

I think the point is if you don't want to ROLEPLAY, go on sandbox. RDM is randomly killing someone for no roleplay reason. If you want to kill for the lulz, go on sandbox.

admins are SO overusing the reason Mass RDM when we get banned. Why? Because theyre ♥♥♥♥. players are overusing RDM too. Last time I raided someones house, he got an admin and that ♥♥♥♥♥♥ banned me for 6 months. Good job admins. Good job.

Not exactly, what if I wanted to roleplay as a killer? A admin would probably not tolerate that and ban me. I just think the rdm rule should be loosend. Thanks for posting your opinion, again.

Well, you'd have to suggest to servers to have a killer job so you can do that. In which case, they'll inevitably make job rules for that job.

You can't RDM. Know why? Because this is how you kill people.

/me attempts to kill the player
/roll
Byte has rolled 12 out of 100.
/me fails to kill the person

It's based on blind luck. That's so ♥♥♥♥♥♥ it's not even fun.

No, that's HL2RP.

Have you ever even played HL2RP, idiot? It's based on a Play to Lose system
