solid suggestions but i strongly support these:

Quote from: Strapz on Sep 05, 2025, 08:27 PM🔫 4. Deathmatching (DM) (MODIFY)
Killing or damaging others without proper in-game reason is disallowed. This includes random killing and revenge kills.
Max Punishment: Ban (5 Days)
DM is allowed only under strict conditions:
• Maximum 3 attackers may be involved
• Must be in an isolated area with fewer than 10 players
• Must inform an admin if available
• Cop vs wanted suspects does not count as DM neither do fights between /oskin gang members or factions.

Quote from: Strapz on Sep 05, 2025, 08:27 PM⏱️ 20. Respawn Cooldown  (DELETE)
After dying in a shootout, wait 5 minutes before returning to combat to prevent spawn-killing.
This rule applies even if the death was due to a SAMP glitch or shown as suicide.
Max Punishment: Ban (5 Days)

Explanation: 5 mins rule should be deleted it says here that it is here to prevent spawn killing, safe-zones exist for this reason, LEO's respawn in their HQ and should be allowed to re-gear and go back to action they are also inside safezones that shield them from spawn-killing, whoever is not a LEO respawns at the hospital which is also a safezone. This will help the cops establish more pressure specially in situations where the suspects are camping inside interiors.

Quote from: Strapz on Sep 05, 2025, 08:27 PM🕔 30B. Escape Cooldown  (DELETE)
After escaping jail, you must wait 5 minutes before engaging in combat.
Max Punishment: Ban (3 Days)

Explanation: This rule should be deleted with the previous 5 min rule as well, players already served jail time sometimes higher than 5 mins since they get released mostly by people who take their due time handling the police before they are able to bomb jail and now will be pressured again by cops who wont have to serve the 5 mins rule, makes sense, if you release someone from jail you will be met with them instantly outside something that would be previously against the rules, since there is already a 2 Hour cooldown to prevent abuse this rule and the materials take time to be farmed this rule isn't necessary at all.

I agree too because removing roleplay made the players do only specific things. What players does right now is robbing - cops chasing him - gets arrested. We want more action inside the server. I support it too.

Feel like most of, if not all of these concepts being implemented would be a step in the right direction for the betterment of the server.

I believe the server has been in a transition phase since the removal of RP was introduced 8 or 9 months ago - not the only one who believes so btw -I'd call it somewhat or an identity crisis? Certain RP rules being applied regardless of the freeroam goal.

I feel as though the rules have room for discussion for a while and this post opens it up. Interested to see what the rest of the community makes of this possible change in the server dynamic.

I support.

As the server shifts more to the freeroam side of things, I decided to write a proposal for a change to the server rules and explain the reasons why, below im going to post only the rules that in my vision need alteration or exclusion, all the others should remain the same.

🔫 4. Deathmatching (DM) (MODIFY)
Killing or damaging others without proper in-game reason is disallowed. This includes random killing and revenge kills.
Max Punishment: Ban (5 Days)
DM is allowed only under strict conditions:
• Maximum 3 attackers may be involved
• Must be in an isolated area with fewer than 10 players
• Must inform an admin if available
• Cop vs wanted suspects does not count as DM neither do fights between /oskin gang members or factions.


Explanation: This is pretty much what happens IG already but needed to be clarified, if you are /oskin you accept that there will be engagements between rival factions and this shouldn't be considered DM, if you want to roleplay this can be planned accordingly.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

🚁 4E. Heliblading  (DELETE)
Using helicopter blades to kill or harm players (heliblading) is not allowed. 
Max Punishment: Ban (3 Days)

Explanation: This rule needs to go, there is already a rule for DM so this doesn't get abused, Heli-Blading is a feature of the game and its a high risk form of takedown since most of the time you will end up exploding either by collision or not enough time to approach.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

🚓 4F. Ramming (MODIFY)
Ramming on-foot players (by wanted suspects or LEOs) is only allowed in reasonable situations. Continuous abuse will be punished.
Max Punishment: Ban (2 Days)

Explanation: Ramming on foot players on purpose should be strictly disallowed, no "reasonable situations exist" this is just cause for issues and confusion, a loop hole to be used by people.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

🚔 4G. Drive-by Rules Clarification (DELETE)
Law Enforcement Officers (LEOs) and Criminals are permitted to perform drive-by attacks only during an active vehicle chase involving wanted suspects or officers. Drive-by on players who are on foot (whether LEOs or Criminals) is strictly prohibited, unless the target initiates gunfire first.
Max Punishment: Ban (3 Days)

Explanation: Drive-by of players on foot should be allowed, CJ run has been recently enabled, cars are useful for these situations and there are places the car cannot reach that an on-foot player can climb on or hide, like tight alleys, it is also hard to aim at an on-foot player when the car is moving although it's understandable that 3 people shooting is different than one.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

🛑 6B. Combat Shotgun Ban (DELETE)
Use of Combat Shotgun is strictly prohibited regardless of source (boots).
Max Punishment: Ban (5 Days)

Explanation: To be removed, this is one of the rules implanted by the cries of many people who do not wish for fair gameplay but to have the upper-hand, it started with a Sniper ban, moved to a grenade ban and followed with a Spaz ban, when will it stop? Now listen im of the opinion that the police should be able to also use these weapons, but nobody should need to complain, server must be balanced for everyone no special treatment for some organizations, each org should have one special weapon while most of the others remain the same, im talking about weapons like, tear gas, spraycan, knife, molotov, taser they serve their purpose and claim distinction between factions while others should remain the same or able to use by choice, LEOS should be allowed to purchase weapons from Ammu-Nation if they need them, have specific pickups/rank based weapons, same goes for the gangs however gangs while /oskin should only use Ammu-Nation for armor or weapons that they are already org related, if they wish for a weapon upgrade they should buy from the Illegal shop which only allows for AK-47 as a rifle and all the other weapons like sniper but not m4.

⏱️ 20. Respawn Cooldown  (DELETE)
After dying in a shootout, wait 5 minutes before returning to combat to prevent spawn-killing.
This rule applies even if the death was due to a SAMP glitch or shown as suicide.
Max Punishment: Ban (5 Days)

Explanation: 5 mins rule should be deleted it says here that it is here to prevent spawn killing, safe-zones exist for this reason, LEO's respawn in their HQ and should be allowed to re-gear and go back to action they are also inside safezones that shield them from spawn-killing, whoever is not a LEO respawns at the hospital which is also a safezone. This will help the cops establish more pressure specially in situations where the suspects are camping inside interiors.

🕔 30B. Escape Cooldown  (DELETE)
After escaping jail, you must wait 5 minutes before engaging in combat.
Max Punishment: Ban (3 Days)

Explanation: This rule should be deleted with the previous 5 min rule as well, players already served jail time sometimes higher than 5 mins since they get released mostly by people who take their due time handling the police before they are able to bomb jail and now will be pressured again by cops who wont have to serve the 5 mins rule, makes sense, if you release someone from jail you will be met with them instantly outside something that would be previously against the rules, since there is already a 2 Hour cooldown to prevent abuse this rule and the materials take time to be farmed this rule isn't necessary at all.

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

💼 32. Scamming  (MODIFY)
Scamming is allowed only for amounts up to $300,000. Anything beyond this is punishable. Trade at your own risk. Make sure to have proofs (screenshots/Videos).
Max Punishment: Ban (3 Days)

Explanation: This rule is ridiculous, scamming shouldn't be allowed in any regard, preying on new players will make them leave the server, baffled this is still here.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

All in all I think what I suggested is within reason, this is a freeroam server with RP capabilities which aren't being used pretty much most of the time  otherwise we would be roleplaying while robbing stores among many other things, although they aren't used often im glad they are still here because they complete the server, make it stand out from the rest and represent the evolution the server had since it first launched. The people like the server for the freeroam aspect, the social aspect and specially the CNR, let the people play how they want to play within reason, logically, but adding rules on top of rules and preventing the players from having fun is not the way, neither is unequal distribution of power between factions, factions which are most of the time lead by the administration which at times chooses to bind the players behind the disguise of complaints and preventing them from having a fair shot in the game and im not talking about anyone specifically, this has been going on for ages, I witnessed it first hand while part of the team.

This is grand theft auto, gang members can steal and use civilian vehicles, the police can use civilian vehicles as well to carry on with their arrests altho theirs are more fit to the job, they are usually faster and deploy stingers. The gangs can also purchase the weapons they need from the illegal gunshop, that's all.

If you got any other suggestions feel free to drop them here.

Law Organisation Rules

1. Bribes
Law enforcement organizations are NOT ALLOWED to accept bribes from players to lower or remove a wanted level or to unjail early. The only way a player should be able to bribe is by using the checkpoints at the Police Stations.

2. /dstinger & /drb
After a situation/chase ends, remember to do /dstinger and /drb.

3. Unrealistic Amount of Roadblocks
Roadblocks must be placed realistically on roads, as the name suggests. Placing them inside interiors (e.g., Pay N Spray, Ammu-Nation, or any non-road indoor location) to block suspects is not allowed. Additionally, do not place roadblocks directly in front of a moving vehicle mid-chase, as it causes unrealistic collisions and abuse.

4. You can only place one stinger while driving/chasing a suspect
Do not spam the stingers out of the boot of your vehicle and ONLY PLACE 1 STINGER during the chase.

5. Arrest During Gang War
Do not arrest the involved parties during a gang war; you can arrest them after the war finishes.

6. Tasers
Use tasers only when the suspect is unarmed and trying to escape; do not use them if the suspect is armed.

7. Surrenders
When a suspect surrenders, reduce the wanted level by half if the suspect has 1-5 wanted levels, and then jail them accordingly. Unwants or reductions are NOT to be given to 6-8 wanted levels.
Note: If a player's wanted level is 1, they shall only be fined. However, if a player's wanted level is two and they surrender, they have to be jailed for one minute.

8. SWAT & SAAF Engagement
Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) may engage 4+ wanted level suspects, whereas San Andreas Armed Forces (SAAF) may only engage 6+ wanted level suspects.
EXCEPTION: In the absence of an on-duty SAPD LEO, the SWAT or SAAF may engage all wanted level suspects.

9. Use of Rhino
Use of Rhino Canon is only permissible when no civilians are around the situation and it is extremely necessary. If there are any civilians (non-wanted players) around a situation, Rhino cannon may not be used. However, it may be used to ram the vehicle of suspects.
EXTREMELY NECESSARY DEFINED:
A situation calls for the extreme necessity of Rhino when:
(i) The suspects are teamed as a group of five (5) or more people;
(ii) When the on-duty LEOs, in total, are less than two (2).

10. Use of Hydra, Hunter, Rustler & Seasparrow
Use of legal aircraft such as Hydra, Hunter, Rustler & Seasparrow is only permissible for airborne and seaborne suspects having a wanted level of 6 or above.

11. Use of /skydive, /jetpack and /guide by LEOs during chase/shootout is prohibited
Use of freeroam mode commands such as /skydive, /jetpack and /guide by LEOs is disallowed during a shootout/chase against wanted players.

12. Rewant after a wanted player is killed for hit contract is prohibited and vice versa
When a wanted player is killed by any hitman for a hit contract, or a hitman is killed while engaging in a hit contract, neither of them shall be rewanted by the LEOs.
NOTE: Same rule applies for official gang wars as well.
