A concern about advertisements!

[Boxy]

I keep getting warned for making illegal ads.  These ads don't state illegal material directly, but they have metaphors, like flowers, or herbs.  Am I allowed to make ads about this.  I would like a dev to answer. :poke:

This is more of a question as i want to clear something up.

Are players allowed to make illegal ingame adverts? Like selling weed, hitman etc..

If you reply that it is not allowed then it is allowed to make an illegal ad but change it in a way that doesn't look like an illegal advert and less conspicuous, so instead of:

/ad Selling weed, if you want some, come to Gas station 9

it would be

/ad Selling some of that wacky stuff

Or

/ad If you need a hitman to get someone killed, call me

it would be

/ad Want me to tie up your loose ends?


I would like a developer to answer this.

/ad is for making advertising as you would do in a newspaper.

Basicly it would be ok to advertide the above things. But....... if cops react to an ad by suspecting the advertiser they are immediately accused of abusing.
In real life, if you advertise to be a hitman in the newspaper or on ebay, expect the cops at your door arresting you.

So to stop the moaning about abusing cops from people advertising illegal things, we have decided that /ad should be used only for legal things, and if someone tries to circumvent it by advertising 'grass' they also can be warned, as they would fight investigation by cops in to their 'grass'.
also can be warned, as they would fight investigation by cops in to their 'grass'.

Conclusion: It doesn't matter if you have a sneaky way to reword an illegal advertisement to make it sound legal. Advertisements are ONLY for legal things.
