/irc to chat/contact the staff.
/ask to ask a question.
Beside our chat channel http://sa-mp.im/chat/ where you may chat with others and discuss somethings.
There is /ann for legal factions to announce about something IC.
/br it's for SAN members, it' used to broadcast a specific thing.

Not sure if they should know the last couple of commands or not though.

Also people use ( instead of /b, so you should also include that.

[Blad''Head]

/ann - Only T1, you should know that Added any way

/ann and /br are for T2's with /fauthority, T1's and T0's.

/ann - Only T1, you should know that Added any way

/ann and /br are for T2's with /fauthority, T1's and T0's.

Still, you should know that.. ( I meant you should know that for the T1, not you ) only T3 needs their commands, any way thanks for your help.
