Server Rules
Posted: July 9th, 2025, 4:59 pm
Where can I find server rules?
Every player must read and understand the server rules.
The rules can be found on the forums at forum.sa-mp.im under the 'Rules' banner.
Rulebreakers can't always be dealt with in-game, you can report players at sa-mp.im > Server > Report a player.
Remember to take screenshots and describe the situation as detailed as possible!
What is Deathmatching (DM)
Deathmatching is killing another player without a valid In Character reason, this is strictly forbidden. Minor insults or OOC arguments for example are not accepted reasons to kill and will be considered deathmatching.
It should be noted that Spawn Killing is also considered DM. Killing newbies is a bannable offense.
What is Power-gaming (PG)?
Power-gaming means to roleplay in a way that is very unrealistic or unfair in any given situation. Forcing roleplay on other players, i.e. not letting them respond to your actions, is also considered power-gaming.
Using a phone or laptop during a gunfight or while being cuffed/tied/unconcious is also considered severe power-gaming.
An example is when you roleplay impossible things such as lifting a car.
What is revenge-killing (RK)?
Revenge killing is, as the name suggests, returning to the person who killed you. Returning to place of death is considered RK.
ONLY Law enforcement officers (PD and SASF) may return after 10 minutes have passed. This is not considered acceptable behavior under any circumstances, even if you're killing someone that deatmatched you.
An example of revenge-killing is when a player kills or tries to kill the player than has killed them during a previous conflict without any IC justification.
What is meta-gaming (MG)?
Meta-gaming is mixing or using Out of Character information for In Character purposes.
Both are strictly prohibited
An example of meta-gaming would be to read the name tag a player you have never met and calling their character's name IC.
What is driver drive-by (DDB)
Driver drive-by can be both parking a vehicle on top of another player or shooting with a weapon from the driver seat. Neither of them are allowed on this server and those who do it will be punished strictly.
What is heal/re-armour in gunfights?
Players are not allowed to heal in fights through any means other than the use of drugs. A player may heal only when it is clear they have escaped their enemy. This offence is easily traceable through logs.
What is ban evading?
Ban evading is when you have been IP banned by an admin, and you change your IP address (on purpose) to keep playing on the server.
Ban evading is strictly forbidden.
If you have been caught evading, you will NEVER be unbanned. It is always better to appeal instead of starting to evade.
Note that an account SUSPENSION/BAN allows you to make a new account. An IP-ban does not.
Can I return to the place where I died?
You are not allowed to return to the location where you died, unless the situation has cleared. This does not apply for LEO's. (SAPD and SASF).
They may return when 10 minutes have passed. Before responding to a backup call, make sure you're not returning to the same situation. Returning to the place of death will be punished.
Make sure you're not joining in the same wave once you died. Allies may be responding to the previous backup.
Is it allowed to shoot someone with a moneyvan, even though if it's loaded or not?
If it's a rented moneyvan, yes.
What is quit or force timeout to avoid death, arrest or roleplay?
It is not acceptable under any circumstances to use /kill or /q to avoid roleplay (this includes arrests) or death. In addition, once you are killed you may not use any method whatsoever to avoid the kill list.
