Rule reminder: /Kill abuse

[JoshThePenguin]

Dear members of our SA:MP server,

Lately I've seen many people abusing the command /kill, for instance, in order to get from point A to point B faster.
If you use your common sense, you will know that that's propably not the right thing to do, especially when looking at our rules.

Let me remind you guys of these rules, three in particular.

1.3 Glitch/Script Abuse
Exploiting the script in any way that is unintended by the developers or using a bug or glitch in any way that gives you an advantage over other players and will result in a permanent ban. This includes, but is not limited to, the following:

Usage of any command such as (/kill) or (/q) to avoid a role-play situation.
Usage of the command (/kill) (or any intentional form of dying) as a method of teleporting.
Usage of the command (/kill) (or any intentional form of dying) below 20% health as a method of healing.
 

Let these rules be clear for you, because written rules will be enforced, wether you like it or not.
So no more 'My car in in LS, but I'm in LV on foot... mhmmmm /kill'. If we were to allow you guys to use the command in a way to teleport, why would we forbid you to use teleport hacks?
I hope to have refreshed your mind a bit.

Yours sincerely,

I remember asking Trane last year about it and he said it's totally fine if you're on foot somewhere, or far away from a vehicle to use /kill. I also think it's script abuse, but it's not up to me.

That makes sense because if a player is stranded in the middle of nowhere, its pointless to waste time to get to another point where you'd like to go. In my personal opinion, it should be fine to /kill if you're not in a roleplay and just need to get to a vehicle or a point.

I mean, sometimes the playerbase is really low and you are stuck in the middle of nowhere. I really don't see the issue to /kill if you are not being chased or involved in any RP situation.

If /kill is script abuse, allow us to jump from a high building or drown instead. No script is being used by that.

Well i have seen people jumping from LSCH or somewhere else because of the 10 percent HP so they can get heal or teleport somewhere , this should count as /kill

Common sense would say the opposite actually. You play a game to have fun not walk in a direction for 10 mins because you have no car or lift. If you are not involved in any situation or interaction, there is no reason why you should not be allowed to do this. If you are doing your own thing, it has no negative impact on the server or its players what so ever. 

I can't believe you just compared this to teleport hacks. How the heck are the two related? One of the aspects of a good game is that it is player friendly and /kill is just that for reasons stated above.

When we get 100+ players in server then sure, make it abuse.

i heard a while ago that someone from the hq said it was ok if it has no impact on anyone else

If the /kill is not allowd and goes on script abuse way , why the staff abusing tp's for own usage , like teleporting from Los Santos to LV or any other place in San Andreas , so befor you give action for players, take care about the staff team.

Exactly what is stated in the rules I put in the topic, neither allowed.

But what harm does it do? If you are alone, chilling and minding your own business. Why would this affect you ingame?
If /kill is such a big issue, remove the command..

Blowing yourself up inside a vehicle, drowning yourself or jumping from a building should be allowed tho.. ONLY if you are not in a RP situation, being chased or messing up with people's ingame experience. (I remember Josh explained ingame that this is script abuse too, even tho no commands being used)
