If u sms a staff member for good reason he wont punish you, if you spam a staff sms, then you deserv to be punished.
You only get punished for smsing a staff member when you spam/annoy the guy with irrelevant stuff, questions/problems that can be solved by reading F1 or even asking at support chat, easy as 1 2 3.. As for the standing thingy, yes it's strict, but you haven't seen when you are asking a player some questions and 500 other players come around you speaking at the same time "Hi Deadly, give me money" "Please, marry me" "Nice skin brah, come marry me" "Money please"... C'mon man, it's called logic D:
Also, if you see here, you can see that he is a new guy (Registered at 8/10/2014) and he didn't know where to post. And just after he made his first post, he was muted. Is asking why he was banned in the wrong board worth a mute? (80%)
13. Speak English only in main and team chat.
13. Speak English only in main and team chat. Staff personal must warn at least once before taking actions
I´ve mentioned this several times months ago. It is not the rules that need to be changed, it is the staff team behaviour. The way the rules are being enforced. They need to analyze the situations where they punish a lot more, and a lot better. They must warn people, asking before rushing to the punish button. They have to treat the players a lot better, as people that needs help, and that do not have the experience that the staff team has with the server, instead of treating them like stupid noobs that are only trying to troll or annoy them. Sometimes the answers that to the old players and to the staff team seem obvious and stupid, for a new player, are not that easy. Try having a more comprehensive staff, a more human staff, and a lot more players will be happy.
I will be focusing mostly on "LV Rules", Add #8 - You cannot turf from inaccessible roofs. Add #5 - You cannot evade ingame situations by running to a base or a protected area. (Except Hospitals area) Add #8 - Do not troll, by trolling I mean these kind of people who comes with a vehicle to a turf to provoke it and than run away to another turf, it's really annoying.
4. Do not camp in a CITy zone while you're wanted in order to avoid being arrested unless your zone is fully accessible.
6. (if this is the rule about the website shoutbox)
We disalowed asking for the hijack to be recovered because it respawns itself so it's just impatient people being annoying.
I think that it should be allowed to make difficult zones for cops to die in as they try to get you. This only makes it more and it's almost like creating your own criminal events if used together with other criminals.
People gets punished for sms'ing a staff member, even though, staff members are supposed to help people. Also, standing near a staff member does worth a punishment today. This rule should be modified as it's too harsh.
