Mmm ya.

Discuss regarding this.

Suggested key discussion resources:

Should more be done to stop people from doing this?
It causes as much spam as when  /ad was $50.

Should it be considered abuse? Is it?

As far as I'm concerned using /p to advertise is one way to avoid paying $500 which is therefore disallowed...

But yes, when there are no admins online it causes the same spam as we used to have /ad with $50.

Just me and myself..

I think it should be lowered to like 100$per line or so.


Hidduh said I could!

There are leaders of some "Official Government" groups doing this... even :/.

Although I won't name names, they are like " Why should I?" when I say "Use /ad" in there pm.

Why should they?

I think that's the best option. Or keep it 500$ and if someone advertise in /p he get directly a kick.
I see people doing /p Train Stop Los Santos Station etc. etc. and that every minute and no one is taking action.

Because their imagination is expensive...
All creative roleplays job has been ruined by the price rising and it did not reduced the spam... It just moved it to /p.

You know, sometimes people are just too poor to advertise something and want to create some roleplay or possible call a 'meeting' or something... I think maybe if someone did not have enough cash, ask someone else to advertise it for them.

Using /p to advertise is abuse of commands it self.

Why?

There's a certain reason why /ad exists. And not randomly! It's for people to create advertisements through, and not on the /p(ublic) chat.

However, I personally believe that if the cost was decreased by 50% = /ad price to 250$, It would be much better.

Lower it from 1k to 50-150$ and that's it.

It was answered by gandalf awile ago, read my signature beneath this :)

The /ad was created in order to give players a possibility to advertise.
As a result advertising in main chat is not permitted.
If you can't accept your actions in the past, then you can't accept your actions in the future
PM is not a unban section! Wait for a manager to look at your topic.

  /ad is the least skillful, acceptable form of RP advertisement. If they cannot afford the /ad, then surely they can think of a cheaper more imaginative ways to advertise.

Advertising in /p isn't the way.


But yes, they should do ____________________ they'll have to figure it out there own way - the hard way / watch other people do it and copy from in-game.

So make it limited for each player to use /ad with a low price. Should be fair.
