Steven Adams

My apologies then. It was my mistake. I had no previous punishment history, so I think a straight ban is pretty harsh. A tempban could do the work.

Also, he was afk while he was sending me a message over WhatsApp. In addition to that, on our way to 4D he sent me an ingame pm to join VC where I replied that I have that bug if I alt-tab. I’ll see if I can get the chat logs.

Yes because we normally communicate via Whatsapp Web which we have on laptops on the side as it is faster. I am also sure he mentioned VC when he we flew to 4D.

Hello Jordan. Lincoln sent me a message over WhatsApp.

What is your in-game name? Steven Snowden Which staff member banned you? Pedro Wilson When did you get banned? 10/27/2020 What is the ban reason? Script Abuse to avoid cooldown Personal comment There were 4+ suspects in front of Four Dragons Casino and we deployed SWAT. Lincoln Stallone and I were in Sierra Unit (helicopter) and we landed on the roof of 4D. We did not have a clear shot on them as the suspects went inside once they saw us. Furthermore, we landed in front of the entrance and waited for other SWAT members to arrive. Lincoln told me to join Discord voice chat since we were about to breach. The thing here is that when I alt-tab to join Discord, my SAMP bugs and it doesn't let me to get back to the game. Therefore, I /q'ed to join the voice chat and get back. As soon as I relogged, I reequipped for breaching. I am 99% sure that I was not on cooldown as we did not open fire previously from the roof. It may appear like I /q'ed to avoid combat cooldown as I equipped teargas before breaching, but I only relogged to join Discord VC and avoid a bug that doesn't let me get back into the game. Anyways, If I am wrong, I sincerely apologize. I do not have any previous punishment record, so I think that this punishment is way too harsh.

Name: Steven Snowden Type: House Reason: I would like to request a house interior change. I am not sure if this is the correct place to do it, but I wanted to give it a try. I own Ryder's House in Ganton and I would like to change the interior to INT ID 60 - Sweet's house interior. Image:

First of all, as criminals, you can evade easily by roaming around Las Venturas because everything is centered around Los Santos. Therefore, it is very hard to find criminals even with player blips. All we can do is /trace but if the suspect's phone is on, but that's a rare occasion. Maybe the radius by which the player blimp is visible can be reduced?

Also, it is hard to make this work with the level of RP this server imposes. There is a huge group of players which constantly power game. As an example, exiting a locked car while being cuffed, running away and hiding. Then I needed to search the whole damn area to find the superman who escaped. Furthermore, many script changes must be implemented in order for this "no name tag" script to work. properly, which is a huge change to this server, and in the meantime the player base could decrease because they do not like to play while the server is drastically changing. Also, you MUST consider the fact that the amount of players are much increased due to the fact that everyone is at their home because of the Corona issue. We all know that the online players rate is going to drop at least 30%, or even more, when all this is over and everything gets back to normal. Having that in mind, playing with no name tags while 30 players are online is a nightmare. This also leads to another fact that it will open up doors for many hacks that are very hard to trace. Also, the RP level of majority of players does not follow up the fact that no blips will be visible. To conclude, I wouldn't do such drastic change to the server as it may cause the player base to decrease a lot and the DM ratio will increase.
