Official GTA:CnR Rules
Not knowing a rule doesn't absolve you of a punishment.
If you find yourself banned and disagree, make a screenshot {F8} and present your best evidence in an Appeal post in the Ban Appeals section.
DO NOT create a new account or obtain a new IP in order to log in again. This is Ban Evasion and will result in your current ban being greatly lengthened or made permanent.
A: General Rules 1. Use common sense at all times. If you're unsure if you're allowed to do something always ask an admin first. If none are available, search the forum for an answer or post your questions. Do not risk taking action until you have your answer.
2. Anything an admin says is considered a rule. If they tell you to do something do it. Conversely, if an admin tells you not to do something do not do it.
3. Do not message staff without a valid reason. If they say they are busy they are: Do not message them back. If you keep annoying them while they're trying to do their job you will be punished.
4. Advertising other SAMP/MTA servers in any form is strictly prohibited.
- via: mainchat, /pm, /ad, forum post, forum signature, etc.
- using: IP, server name, website, etc.
(If you get banned accidentally by the Anti-Cheat for Server Ad., immediately make a screenshot {F8} for your ban appeal.)
B: Hacks, Bugs and Technical Rules 1. Hackers/Cheaters/Trolls are not welcome on this server. If you get banned for this you will not be unbanned.
2. You take responsibility for your own account and connection. If your mate/family member has entered your account and disobeyed the rules you will still be punished. Make sure you keep your password safe and secure to avoid this happening. If another family member or friend uses your account and you find yourself banned you will still remain banned. If you share your IP or internet connection with another player and they are banned, you may find yourself unable to connect due to their ban.
3. Bug abuse in any form is not allowed. If you're found exploiting a server bug, be it a known bug or otherwise, and have not reported it you will find yourself banned.
