NEW RULE ADDITION | bears vs the invisible barrier.

WHAT'S THE TITLE OF THE SUGGESTION:
NEW RULE ADDITION | bears vs the invisible barrier?!​

INTRODUCTION TO THE SUGGESTION:

I think everyone knows at this point that bears are not allowed to leave the forest. Literally. When leaving the forest, a bear gets blocked by an invisible barrier and can't leave the designated place. People tend to abuse this fact when being chased by a bear, leaving the forest, and standing at the gates, looking at them while the bear just stands there, being unable to do anything. So I thought that removing the barrier would fix it, but then BEARS would abuse this fact, so it's a no-no... But what about adding a new rule...?

THE IDEA:
I thought for some time, before coming up with a addition of a new rule, which read:

Spoiler: NEW RULE

8.11 When being in a chase with a bear, you mustn't leave the area of the forest for 5 minutes since the start of the chase.

I think that it's all. Nothing else to add!
I know suggestions about rules tend to be controversial, but I think this one might not be as much.
I'm awaiting for suggestions to change some things about this suggestion, maybe lower or extend the time
​

HOW WILL THIS BENEFIT THE SERVER AND THE COMMUNITY:
This will allow bear chases to be longer and will encouraging the players to not abuse the fact that bears are required to stay in the forest, which is their designated area. This will allow bears to have an actually interesting roleplay, instead of trying to chase down the player to the gates.

+1 This adds more depth SRP, as the average human cannot outrun a bear. It also makes bear attacks an actual threat again, so people can’t fool around with them anymore.

I definitely see how frustrating it would get seeing bears not be able to attack humans due to abusing the barrier power.

People should FEARRP bears ANYWAY, they shouldn't be petting them like dogs or treating them as tamed animals. THEY ARE NOT TAMED ANIMALS NOR CAN THEY BE TAMED UNDER SRP RULES!!! I will agree that if you do start a interaction with a bear that involves the perm system, they shouldn't leave the forest, there are many ways on evading and escaping bears in the forest. But, I am an avid bear hater due to people misusing the whitelist so i refuse to interact with anyone on a bear. But, that is just a personal opinion.

what im -1'ing on is removing the barriers that are at the gates to the forest, i do not believe we should remove those JUST because of a few time situation. If you see people breaking rules, take a screenshot and REPORT IT TO YOUR LOCAL SRP STAFF MEMBER(Or by using /ticket create helper [text])

I SAID that it'd be a bad idea, as bears would abuse the fact. Please read the whole suggestion before commenting on it.

The fact that people run away thru the barrier is not FailRP, as there's no rule against it, hence why I suggested to add a rule which would prevent people from doing it.

This might be your first miss in my opinion

I don't see why we should not allow players to actually fear the bears and run away if they're being chased, just so bears can have a slightly bigger chance of eating someone, which will most likely end up with them getting shot by a tranq gun. Letting players run out of the forest is kind of the only escape mechanism they have, especially since you need to fearRP bears. I am also not a big fan of seeing people fight bears again, so whatever it takes to prevent that, I agree with.
This however does not prevent that, it kinda indirectly encourages it.

Players shouldn't be interacting with bears anyways you're suppose to fearrp them its just nobody does. .
Also this sounds like its limiting roleplay for the other player, because why would my character stay in the forest when a bear is chasing them?
