Community Relations - Ban Punishments

Hey Lunatics!
These will be the new ban punishments, and they will now be divided into two categories:

Ban punishments:

• Hacking ban offenses​

• Non-hacking ban offenses​

​

NOTE: From now on, If a player is banned for an offense unrelated to hacking and already possesses one hacking ban and no other bans, it will not be counted as a subsequent offense but as the first one, or vice versa. This decision aims to enforce harsher ban punishments for hacking bans, ensuring fair gameplay for all our players.

Community Relations - Non-Hacking Ban Punishments

Scamming
Scamming is when you offer a service or product to another player for a price, and once you receive the payment, you do not deliver your end of the deal, or vice-versa.

• Players below level 10 can not be scammed nor can they scam other players (You must roleplay scamming someone according to our RP rules)
• The scammer and anyone helping with the scam must be level 10 or above
• The scammer cannot scam another player over $20,000 in cash or worth of items
• Real-life payment scams are not covered by Lawless Roleplay's staff except for donations
• We do not cover scams if there is a transaction-based command available (ie. '/flipcoin', '/sellmats'...)
• If a scammer is caught gambling or dealing with scammed money to avoid punishment, they will receive an account warning AND a temporary ban according to the player's non-hacking ban offenses.

Donation Scamming / Chargeback
Donation scamming is when you promise to purchase any item on our donation site for a player in exchange for money or any in-game item(s) and then not do it.

• For such situations, the punishment will always be a PERMABAN. [Unless the scammer donates or gives back the money he charges back.]

[We do not recover donation deals that have been done without a middleman.]​

Money farming:
Money farming is when a player creates multiple accounts to transfer the starting money to another account or make your character not go AFK or tab to farm paychecks.

Or if the player exploits the script. in those cases, the punishments will be up to the admin's discretion.

Server Advertising
This is when a player advertises another SA-MP server or community.

The punishments:

• 1st non-hacking offense: Ban for one month (Fine double the amount scammed / Fine 100 percent of the items farmed)​

• 2nd non-hacking offense: Ban for three months (Fine double the amount scammed / Fine 100 percent of the items farmed)​

• 3rd non-hacking offense: Ban for 4 months (Fine double the amount scammed / Fine 100 percent of the items farmed)​

• 4th non-hacking offense: Permanent ban​

​

Excessive Death-matching:
This is when a player gets his sixth deathmatch warning.

Knowingly hiding information from admins or providing a false statement to admins:
This is when a player knowingly does not report or hide information from an admin (i.e. fails to report a ban evader) or provides a false statement to admins.

Prison (60-120 minutes) and/or Fine (20% of total wealth with a minimum of $20,000) and/or a temporary ban according to his non-hacking ban offenses.

Ban Evading: (This one won't count as an add-on offense if a player is caught ban evading. (Their sentence will just get longer.)
Ban evading means creating alternative accounts to continue playing while being banned. It is strictly prohibited, any attempts at ban-evading will result in an extension of your ban duration.

• One-month ban addon.
