Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded).

And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Could you police?

Here's a UK-based quiz to see if you've got what it takes to be a police officer:

Looks like I'd be a good one, which is terribly ironic.

Good question--getting ready for church, so I don't have time for the quiz right now.  For a while in the Air Force I was a Security Forces augmentee, but that was not exactly the most glorious period I spent in the USAF.

I've thought about working as a cop, but there are just some laws that I would have a tough time enforcing. Being a Security Guard is as close as I want to get.

Well, they pay me pretty decently so I guess I'd better start doing something...

What surprises me, as I always considered this European joke as absolutely true:
QuoteQ: What's the difference between heaven and hell?
A: In heaven the cops are British, the cooks are French, the mechanics are German, the women are Italian and it is all organised by the Swiss.
In hell the cops are German, the cooks are English, the mechanics are French, the women are Swiss, and it is all organised by the Italians.

I would most likely fail horribly at policing.

Nope! I did badly. I kept choosing the "go get 'em!" uncautious option. Too many years of roleplaying adventures! :p

What was more interesting is the picture it paints of the UK... which actually matches what I've heard from some UK police officers we know. :(

ok, here's a question because i don't know a damn thing about UK cops except what i saw on tv.
and we all know tv never lies. uh-huh.

do the cops there carry guns?
i saw a special on the discovery channel quite a while back suggesting that UK cops are more likely to be stabbed then shot and they were wearing some pretty heavy stab-resistant vests.

Your British beat cops absolutely don't. AFAIK some special response teams have access to guns, but that's it.

On the other hand, due to the strict gun control they will also only meet few criminals with firearms. When it comes to weapon law, UK is like an inverted Switzerland :haw:
