[SA:MP] Developers Answer: Give Examples

[Janar]

Situation 1:

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

Would this be considered illegal or against the rules?

Illegal.

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?

Go read forums - Allowed, /ad is just to highlight it.

I am not a developer, but I just tried to help them.
Correct me, incase I am wrong.

Situation: Cops shoot criminals. Criminals shoot cops. Cops get back some distance in hope they can snipe the criminals. Criminals come into closer range, as they do not have such long range weapons. Cops cry COPHUNT YOU DONT CAHSE COPS. Criminals kill, because one of their members already died from the sniper.

Question: Why cry COPHUNT when you KNOW you're going to shoot while you are retreating? Just DIE!

Don't go around these Forums spreading nonsense bullshit.

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

it tells you if an admin is sorting it, if i dont see the confirmation message saying that they are looking into it, i do it again, simple

Developer + answers only please..

A Group X got a firefight with cops. player A from group X havent shot any bullets yet, but he got suspected by Assaulting. player A got unsuspected And got pms from police that i he have to quit the firefight.

What should player A do? He got suspected and unsuspected while he was typing and got messages to stay away from firefight. Can player A still be in the firefight?

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

Not just the FBI, but any cop is allowed to shoot without asking when:
- a suspect runs or drives away
- a suspect act violently by drawing weapons or shooting
- a suspect has earlier refused to surrender to another officer

No law enforcement officer is allowed to shoot without asking to surrender when:
- a suspect is standing still unarmed
- a suspect clearly tells he wishes to discuss the situation (before taking any hostile action).

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.

Because of the possibility to surf the car, shooting while surfing the car would allow for a mass-driveby and/or better aiming as a usual driveby. This goes beyond the limits of ths singple layer game, and can be used for DM.
There for with the introduction of SA:MP 0.3 the shooting while surfing any vehicle is counted as DM.

[Gandalf]

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

First of all, while we have created a function for admins to let a player know they are handling a report, at times they are more busy checking the actual situation.
All mails are ready by me and the other leaders/managers, which means that even if you get no reply the complaint has been noticed.

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.

Please always tell your own in-game name and the time qand date something happened, so that we can check the logs for the situation.
For this reason send it to [email protected]

Question
What was your last UC name, Gandalf?

[Mikro]

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?

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?

What about this? I am also wondering what the rules are in these situations.

Situation: Cops shoot criminals. Criminals shoot cops. Cops get back some distance in hope they can snipe the criminals. Criminals come into closer range, as they do not have such long range weapons. Cops cry COPHUNT YOU DONT CAHSE COPS. Criminals kill, because one of their members already died from the sniper.

Question: Why cry COPHUNT when you KNOW you're going to shoot while you are retreating? Just DIE!

I was in a hurry when asking this, so I know it looks like shit, therefore, I have revised it.

At times, criminals gather in a whole bunch...say 10 players. One of them is suspected after killing someone for a hit, then the others come and aid him, so they, of course, are suspected for aiding. A lone cop comes in and starts shooting immediately. When he realizes that he's outarmed and outnumbered, he runs. The criminals then regard him as, "another seagull." Then out of the blue, one of their members die at the hands of the lone cop, who just happen to be hiding behind a car and waiting to get a clear shot. The criminals then conclude that they are at risk if this continues, so they chase after the cop. The cop then runs like hell. It could end two ways:
1. The criminals stop chasing, turn back, and suddenly, the cop kills ANOTHER. Then the cop dies, because he's in clear range.
2. The criminals keep chasing, and when they finally kill the cop while he's on the run, the cop cries in the main chat:
COPHUNTERS
And out of the blue, in BIG TEXT in my FACE, I get something like:
Gvardia, stop cophunting

Questions:
1. Why cry COPHUNT when you KNOW you're going to shoot again, or just return after you heal?
2. Why would admins blatantly announce that without gathering the FACTS, or even use common sense? (this HAS happened MANY TIMES to MANY GROUPS)
3. Why do MANY of the administrators take the sides of the police group many times? (Not accusing ANYONE of being biased, just so you know)

Situation: Criminal runs to the nearest sport car and gets inside, cop jumps on top of the car.

Is it allowed for the cop to shoot the criminal's car while on top of it?

Yeah Gandalf! :razz:

[Wayne]

Situation: A cop was chasing a suspect, but the cop disengaged the suspect and got his PD car, he's away from criminal, but the criminal decides to chase him down, it is cophunting?
