So, based off the quality of RP that government agents are providing lately, I'm thinking that two things should happen. The first of these being that there should be a required amount of playtime for certain jobs if there isn't already one. The second of these being that certain government jobs should require a quiz of sorts prior to being able to join that job. I'll go into detail with each of these areas...
Time requirements. I think these are obviously pretty easily explained. Don't know if these are already in place for certain jobs, but I feel that the positions of police officer, secret service, dispatcher, and mayor should require varying amounts of time played on the server prior to being able to join up. That'll give players a bit more time to get oriented, experience the gamemode, and get used to the rule/RP requirements.
Quiz system. HRP has this kind of system, and I've found it has been successful to and extent. The police officer is the main job I could see this being useful for. Perhaps implementing both some server rule questions, roleplay conduct questions, and actual law related questions (traffic laws, basic crimes, etc) would test their knowledge both ICly and OOCly, and sort out some of the people who, in all honesty, should probably go back to playing DarkRP. It's never good to see cops running around with their taser out, shooting after a guy. Similar things can be said about cops who constantly break traffic laws, and dont' seem to do their job unless there's a shoot out going on. To sum things up, add a quiz system that'll help ensure cops who know what they're doing both ICly and OOCly get in.
