- SAPD HQ

We're now releasing the following media posts format accompanied by specifications on what is considered a valid activity post, to avoid any confusion. We would hate to see your posts not counted towards the monthly quota because of some small details.

While you're naturally allowed to choose in which style you will manage your media archive, we ask of you to do it based on this simple blueprint. You will notice that the main detail is that every activity should have an image of its own which fits GM activity standards. This image needs to be easily visible for us, so that we don't have to search through clutters of screenshots to find that one which is needed.

Media Archive Post Format

Format:

1. BANNER
2. (Basic information, date etc.)
3. (Activity Name)
4. (Activity image matching GM Media Activity Standards)
5. Any other additional images of that activity, inside a spoiler under GM image.

Note:

• Repeat if including several activities in one post.
• Banner (1) and additional images (5) are not mandatory.
• Style your posts as you wish, just keep these guidelines in mind while at it.

Media Archive Post Format Example:
 

GM Media Activity Standards:
 

For an activity to be considered valid, these things must be taken care of in the screenshot/post:

1 ) Name tags must be visible in the screenshot.

2 ) Clock must be visible in the screenshot.

3 ) At least three members of the gang/squad must be visible in the screenshot.
- Roleplays, events, turfs and "special" things like trainings; do not require 3 members screenshot.

4 ) There must be a sufficient timelapse between activities (around 30 minutes).
- Do not farm posts by trying to split 10 minute activity into several activities.
- 4 activities completed in 15 minutes total could be counted as 2 activities.
- Example: If you're travelling between SR and BR, the travel itself is not the third activity.
- Example 2: If you do a VIP for a minute between SR and BR, that is not a third activity.

5 ) Activity as the word suggests, requires activity. Sitting in your base is not an activity.

6 ) Images of scoreboards and /gang panel are not considered an activity.

7 ) Links leading to posts made by another gang/group/squad is not considered your activity. Roleplays are an exception to this rule.

8 ) If your post contains several activities at once, split them with titles/banners/spoilers. Do not write a list of activities and then include a bunch of screenshots all mixed together. If we are not able to easily tell which activity is which and which screenshot belongs to which activity, we will count the entire post as just 1 activity.

[IMPORTANT]

• We will no longer open external site links such as imgur to browse media images.
• Only the first image of each activity will be reviewed.
• The GM month from this day henceforth ends on 27th of each month.
  
   

Cop vs. crim player ratio these days has changed to an average of 20-30 cops versus 150+ criminals.
As the imbalance keeps increasing between the two teams, I strongly oppose all and any suggestions to nerf anything related to police.

Definitely a better idea than what we've got going on right now.

Though personally I think that cops should see all the cops and criminals should see all the criminals.

Terminated by owner & Spartan, contract is no longer valid, property returned to owner.

we can test

@Bartman said in [SUGGESTION] Marker abuse / Jail system:

also small note, crimes dont have any marker protection, we can get instantly arrested at marker with black dildo or getting tazed

That is not correct. Perhaps it take you personally more time to load the interior than the protection lasts, but it is there.

@SheraP said in [SUGGESTION] Marker abuse / Jail system:

the "marker abuse" rule in jail

Which rule is that?

@Joshbond of course, we will talk to the reported player to ensure no future rule violations. In this specific case however we've reasons to believe that images provided portray a situation in which the reporter is rulebreaking himself, which eventually led to an adminjail.

Situation will be thoroughly investigated and hopefully resolved soon.

The quote from Daryl is the current official ruling.

If the person is no longer in your car, you no longer have a reason to kill them.

In case where you believe that the rule is not being enforced properly by an administrator, contact staff leadership or SAES HQ to clarify the situation.

Bid has already reached 30m+ price tag 12 hours ago.
@Juby @Axel @AntiRug your bids are smaller than the last one and as such are invalid.

Continuing from 31m $.

How about, don't get muted?

Mute is a punishment, something that you shouldn't get at all. Unless you're dedicated to rulebreaking and getting muted often, I'm certain that you will live through those few minutes of your mute once every few weeks/months without talking to anyone. If you're enduring a punishment, the last thing that will be looked at is your comfort. It is a punishment, it shouldn't be comfortable for you. This is similar to suggesting for adminjailed players to have something fun to do while being in adminjail.

@Eluf ~[Accepted]~(lime), contact any Major+ (Level 5) In-game for your entry test. Good luck!

Please don't post anything related to your result under this topic.

-SWAT HQ

It was implemented to prevent players from abusing it to stand up faster after getting knocked over/skipping falling animation.
In comparison to that, the 1sec nuisance that you have to experience is a lesser issue.

Correct wrap applied.

Sorted.
