[SA:MP] Developers Answer: Give Examples

[Cero]

If a suspect is running on foot while you are in a car, it is possible to place the car so that the suspect will either be hit or bump in to the car.
As long as this does not kill the suspect, it is allowed. There for only to be used with suspects that have full health and are running.

Thank you for the clear answer.

Keep in mind that pressing F to eject someone is considered as ninja-jacking unless it's within a roleplay situation...

Dude, carjacking is not allowed unless it's a cop jacking a suspect or said suspect jacking the cop to get his car back.

Is the FBI allowed to shoot without asking to surrender (either with the /s1-2-3 commands or with a chat command)?

Why would you get that right? Of course you gotta ask them to surrender

For the atleast the last year and a half the FBI seems to have got away with shooting suspects without asking surrender but you aren't that familiarised to the FBI or the older laws so it's unlikely you would have known.

I've seen the administration have a mixed response to the supposed 'No shooting whilst standing/surfing on a car' rule with some administrators temp-banning and some ignoring it. NitrOx said in August that you (Gandalf) notified him of this rule on MSN, however I am yet to find anything on the forums to suggest directly that you have approved this rule. Please confirm or deny this rumour - apologies if you have already posted about this and I have not found it.

If suspect is shooting at Cops and everyone else when we arrive on scene, we just focus on killing him. In that scenario, every second that the suspect is not taken down means another second for one or more cops to die.

The aim of the cops when apprehending suspects is to arrest them and get them in custody. This is why asking "Surrender" is the proper protocol as it ensures the cops are not just there for the purpose of manslaughter (And as we know it in RP, DM). If all other techniques fail then killing the suspect would be the last resort which is why we don't treat such cases as "DM". In summary, it simply means that all cops, whether it is freecops, cadets, officers, senior authorities, FBI, SWAT etc., should ask for surrender before they apprehend the suspect.

However, while this is true, there are some exceptions where the suspect shows some obvious signs of not surrendering. This could include situations such as constant refusal of compliance with the police, aiming or shooting a gun at officers or other civilians and evading the police after an increased awareness of their presence. In such circumstances, the officer can either find another technique to resolve the situation, or just get out a gun and fire at the suspect.

While I have given a substantiated solution to your question, it is not a developer's answer. I will be more than welcome if the developers also gave another perspective of this topic.

[ElMartu]

Yes, with my question I'm not reffering to such cases when somebody's life is in danger.

Hello there, I got a complain about some admins (idk wheres the section for that)

Situation: I was playing in Argo, just logged in, and a player (Ericoo_Dawnson) send me an pm wanting from me to buy snipers from him. He said we meet at Queens, San Fierro. When i came with my limousine there, there were three of them pulling their snipers ''out of ass'' how someone would describe it, and i drove away. Then i reported for Dm, forcing to RP, Malcolm looked in my report and nothing. Then they came, destroyed my limo, but first carjacked me 5 times in order to kill me, so they killed me and i lost 80 of Ak-47. Then i said and reposted for everything in /report and said on /p, and got banned for 10 minutes from Frank Hawk. Please, the names of all of them will be posted soon, as two are known: Ericoo_Dawnson, and pepsicola, the third one is MariusG, surname dont known, most possibly Stracci.

the thing is, ingame people tell you to /report  and nothing happens, and on the forums they tell you to email, and they dont reply either, these are just ways of getting something hidden, so no-one else know there is a problem

Situation 1:

Player1 does '/ad Selling 20933 grams of weed!!!!!!, Contact Player1'

Would this be considered illegal or against the rules?


Situation 2:

Player1 does /p Selling house at Marina contact for info, buyout 100k!
Player2 does /p [AD] Selling drugs at Verona, contact for info

And so on and so forth, is that allowed? Should Player1 & 2 need to use /ad for that and is it punishable by admins? If yes, are there circumstances where a player would be allowed to advertise they are selling something without admin punishment?

Post Merge: March 31, 2010, 02:01:07 amSituation 3:

Player3 does '/ad GROUPXX is recruiting, check SA:MP groups for more information!!!'
Player4 does '/ad GROUPYY is recruiting, www.groupyy.smfforfree.com for info!!'

Are these types of adverts allowed? If so, the limits?

Don't go around these Forums spreading nonsense bullshit.

Admins are not required to explain to you [the reporter] the actions they take.

[MisterSjeiks]

Note: If you think there is something fishy going on, /report just in case, if Admins cant see it live, they cant do anything about it.

And @Vince: I don't think it's allowed anymore, Travis.Wilson got kicked for it and an admin /Announced it ):
