[SA:MP] Developers Answer: Give Examples

[[Rstar]Paul]

Alright, cops do this all the time. They get into a locked car, and somebody else shoots the tires, so the suspect(s) can't escape.

Isn't that script abuse ?

I'm talking about bikes, as if you get a tire out, it's very hard to control the bike.
You can drive bikes, locked, until 40km/h and if you pass that speed limit, the script forces you to leave that bike. When cops get into these locked bikes, they're supposed to get out, but since they can drive it until they reach 40km/h they carjack you and drive away, low speed. Or, they get into the bike, drive on low speed until the other cop shoots the tire(s).  The same goes with cars, but you can control them even with 4 tires out. If that is script abuse, shouldn't it be punished ?

I'd like a response from developers+.

A player locks their vehicle so no one can enter it. Having two officers for this - one shoots the tires, and the other gets in and out of that vehicle rapidly is not allowed. 

To give you a clear answer, that's considered script abuse. Many players do still do this, but do remind them that it's not allowed.
If they won't believe you, then refer them to this topic.

I'll only abide by this if a rule is also implemented that disallows /exit'ing in the middle of a room.

i would like to ask something and i hope you dont delete my it.

i always asked admins to set me ammunation on blueburry , it got Exterior of ammu and admins refused , and Property admins refused.

Then Mr remo comes , and get an Ammu in rodeo and it doesnt have exterior of ammunation. and Gandalf set it by himself. Are they Members of 1st class ? arent we all equal.

You guys said , no ammunations can be set , and here you guys go and set him an ammunation.

Please , dont delete the Question.

It has been a long time practice that we do not set any new ammunations, and that will remain the rule.
However in 2011 I made a promise to Mr Remo that if we would set any new Ammunations, he would be able to get one as it was a clear rule we would not.
A couple of weeks later two new Ammunations were set, which meant that I had to keep my promise. Due to various inactivities it never happened until recently.

Can we ban you now?

So I was wondering, are freecops allowed to /su for speeding, and using the wrong ramp without any kind of interact, such as /s1 etc?

[TiMoN]

Where do I report forum moderators or managers? And who handles those exactly?

[Teddy]

TiMoN, you can report Board Moderators to the webmaster team and managers can be reported to community leaders.

I'm confused about forcing roleplay.
People don't want their growing weed to be stolen, but I want to roleplay stealing the weed. Can I do it? Of course nobody wants to be robbed, but I'm roleplaying that, so is that forcing roleplay?
I'm not into actual weed or actual cash. Even if they RP giving it, its fine, but if they don't roleplay and I insist, is that forced roleplay?

[TheLegitHabibi]

Also, if the guy is RPly misbehaving with me like, "You don't know who I am!! I will get you for this!! I'll kill you!!", am I allowed to kill him ? That's not DM right ?

If you are asking whether stealing another player's weed harvest is allowed, the answer is yes. But know that you are taking a risk by doing so, if the player you stole from attacks you we will not treat that as deathmatching.

Also, if the guy is RPly misbehaving with me like, "You don't know who I am!! I will get you for this!! I'll kill you!!", am I allowed to kill him ? That's not DM right ?

If a role-play situation turns hostile, and leads to combat, that is permitted. Combat is part of the game and it is okay for role-play to escalate in that direction. Some players might use role-play as a way to kill other players, that is something admins look out for and will put a stop to.

TAB is to be used when a player spawns in the air due to a bug, but using it in the way you described is not something we would act against. Do note though that if an admin determines that TAB was used to gain an advantage over other players it may be considered script abuse.

If you can do it without breaking the rules, yes.
