OOC STRIKES (READ!)

Out Of Character strikes/warnings:

Three(3) OOC STRIKES WILL RESULT IN AN OUT OF CHARACTER KICK FROM THE FACTION

Read: An OOC strike is a strike which is placed upon a member/outsider of the faction, for violating Out Of Character rules in the faction. These strikes can be handed out to a member/outsider for numerous reasons, such as:

1. OOC flaming: Flaming anyone OOCLY is not aloud, same for slick little remarks, such as: "Nice DM, smart guy", etc. I know that sometimes there are retards who really do stupid shit, which gets you pissed off OOCLY; but there is a report section on the forum for that, or if you feel you must address the matter with the person, take it to PMS, but NO flaming them.

2. Unnecessary /b: There should be no unnecessary /b'ing taking place at any time of the day in the faction, ESPECIALLY during serious roleplay or roleplaying with others. This rule is token very very seriously in the faction, and will result in an instant OOC kick from the faction, if the problem is constant with any member/outsider.

3. Posting crap on people's threads: Just to be brief, if you don't have anything good to say on someone's thread, then don't say anything at all. Nor should you post any sort of retarded shit, such as "HEHEHEHE WE OWNED U LOSERS!" and bullshit even close to that.

4. Dumb Grammar & Bad usage of roleplay commands: This would result in an instant kick from the faction after five days if the usage of the roleplay commands, and the grammar does not improve.

5. Valid reports on members/outsiders: Any reports on members/outsiders which are breaking the rules, confirmed with a sufficient amount of evidence, will result in an OOC strike

Los Santos Roleplay - Rules
Blue text means that the rule has been changed or newly added. The colours will get removed soon

» Server Rules:
These are our server-rules, every attempt to violate one or more of these will result in admin actions against you.
1. Do not meta- and/or powergame.
2.
Role-play at all times unless you're in admin-jail (see 3., "Server
Rules"). Only administrators are allowed to declare a situation to be
OOC and/or interrupt an RP event.
3. Do not role-play while in admin-jail, the place is OOC.
4. Do
not use any third party cheats, hacks or modifications (such as CLEO),
which will give you an unfair advantage over other players.
5. Do not deathmatch (DM); killing another player is alright, as long as you've got a proper role-play reason.
6.
No revenge-killing. If you are brutally wounded and no medic saves you
(you respawn), your memory will be cleared and you'll forget about the
killer In Character. Attempting to kill the killer after you've been
killed, is revenge-killing.
7. Do not heal during fights.
8. Do not bunnyhop. Jumping to get somewhere faster is not realistic.
9. Do
not jack cars with a driver inside without any role-play. By that it's
meant, that you shouldn't just go up to a car that has stopped for
whatever reason, press "f", pull the driver out and drive off.
10. Stealing
goverment vehicles (PD vehicles, ambulances, SAN vans, taxis etcetera)
isn't allowed unless you've got a proper role-play reason. It's
suggested to ask an administrator on duty if your reasons are valid
before you steal one of these.
11. Do not use acronyms or abbreviations such as OMG, LOL, u, ur, w8, lmao and/or smilies In-Character.
12. This is an English speaking server - other languages are only allowed in OOC chats, such as /b, /pm and /f.
13. No abusive language towards other players in any OOC-chat.
14. Do not spam chats (IC & OOC) and/or commands (including commands like /fish).
15. No fully capitalized sentences in OOC-chats (/b, /pm, /o).
16. You're allowed to ignore OOC-chats during role-play situations unless it's an administrator talking to you.
17. Driveby as driver is not allowed, with exception of cops and passengers.
18.
Do not pick up and/or use dual weapons. Picking them up in an interior
will get you admin-jailed/kicked, using them will get you banned. If
you've accidently picked up a dual weapon, use /weapons & /dropgun
<ID> to remove it.
19. Do
not AFK/idle/alt-tab for longer than a few minutes. If you've got to be
AFK for 5-10 minutes or longer, inform the administrators in-game about
it.
20. Do not PM admins In-Game with suggestions etcetera, use the forum.
21. Do not PM admins In-Game with unban-requests, again use the forum.
22. Do not abuse or spam the /report and /re functions.
23. Sexual
harassment (rape, forcing a player to prostitute him/herself, etcetera)
towards another player is not allowed, do this without an OOC agreement
between both sides, and you're banned.
24. Do
not violate rules because someone else did it against you. For example,
don't quit to avoid death costs because (in your opinion) you've been
death-matched.
25. Quitting to avoid death bills allows admins to SCRATCH
your properties on your account to re-pay it, quitting to avoid being
arrested will get you admin-jailed for the time you'd have had to sit
in IC-jail + an OOC punishment time for trying to avoid an arrest.
26.
No OOC-scamming/robbing. IC-scamming/robbing is allowed, but not more
than $5,000 in a robbery, and not more than $50,000 in a scam.
27. Robbing/scamming of level 1-2 players is not allowed, they need to learn.
28. Civilians are not allowed to take contracts, only members of contract factions are.
29. No
vehicles inside the mall, only bikes (motor-bikes, BMX's) are allowed
to be driven into and out of the mall from the western and/or eastern
entrance.
30. Provoking cops to a chase without a proper IC reason is not allowed (non-RP).
31. Company
advertisements (/cad) are not supposed to be used for private reasons.
Do not use /cad just because you want to hide your name and/or number.
32. You
do not need to role-play pulling out smaller weapons such as pistols
and knives, however, you do need to RP taking out bigger weapons such
as shotguns, M4's & baseball bats.
33. Nazism is not allowed at all, both IC & OOC. Racism is allowed in limited forms IC, but a ban-able offence OOC.
34. You've
got to write a /me (for example "<player> swings his/her bat in
<player2>'s head's direction") before using the /knockout command.
35. Removed
36. Commenting on kicks/bans/jails in any chat to any player is not allowed.
37.
You need LEAD ADMIN permission to burn/destroy a property (Biz/House),
burning or destroying a property without it is considered POWER GAMING.
38.
You're not allowed to give or share your registered accounts to other
people or friends. If you want a friend to play, he/she must register
their OWN account through the UCP. Giving him/her your account will
cause the account to banned.
39. Do not PM admins regarding admining, specially not admins on adminduty, you are to report/re and wait for them to contact YOU, don't try to sneak in the queue!

» Forum Rules:
Breaking forum-rules will end in a temporary or permanent ban. If very bad, a server ban as well.

6. English posts only - for foreign languages, use the appropriate forum.
7. Keep the size of signatures respectable. The signature can only be 250px of height, thats including pictures and text. (This means that there's not allowed to have youtube videos in the sig as that's exceeding the limit.)
8. Read the specific forum rules before posting. (Located at the top of the forum, in red.)
9. Do NOT post in the "Wrongly Banned" section unless you have vital information to say, or posting an unban appeal.
10. No posting to warez, wether that be through a search engine or not

12. Pornography will lead to a temporary ban (permanent if repeated)
13. Flaming about an LS-RP feature or member / admin will result in a lengthy ban, discuss them privately.
14.

18+ stuffs in your avatars/signatures
15.
No backseat modding! Stop pretending to be a moderator and think your
post saying the previous post was spam is less spam than the previous
post!

» UCP Rules:
1. When registering a character, answer all the questions asked yourself; do not copy+paste anything.
2. Do not ask LS-RP testers/administrators to review your application.
3. No spamming of other's public profile's guest books.

» Other Rules:
1. You're
allowed to have two or more characters registered on LS-RP, but only
one of them is allowed to be in an official faction, unless you've been
permitted to be in two factions at the same time Double Factions
2. You're
not allowed to transfer money from one of your characters to another
character of you, as they don't have anything to do with each other.
3. If
one of your characters has been banned, you're not allowed to create a
new one and/or use an alternative character (ban-evading). Doing so
will only lower the chances of the original ban being lifted and will
obviously lead to your new/alternative account to be banned as well.
4. The official gang-rules can be found here: viewtopic.php?f=4&t=26746
5. Admin instructions are final, regardless if they're stated in these rules or not.
