Rules

Common Courtesy - Be kind to others and think before you type. There is no need to be hurtful or abusive, especially towards staff members who are here to help you. This rule can be explained with the following quote: "You shall never bother others, you shall be both fair and kind, and whatever else you do, I shall not mind."

Roleplay at all times. You are not allowed to break the server rules because you think someone else did. In regards to that, you should not disrupt, stall or void roleplay unless an admin tells you to. Examples:
A). Quitting the game to avoid an arrest because you were (in your opinion) being arrested for no reason.
B). Repeatedly refusing to roleplay until an admin comes to your aid after you made a report.
C). Filing heat-of-the-moment reports when the players are not deserving of admin punishment.

If you are in the middle of an IC situation and another player is speaking to you OOCly in an attempt to disrupt your roleplay or simply contact you, you may ignore them. However, if an admin is trying to contact you, it is your obligation to respond. Refusing to reply to an admin's messages may get you punished.

In Los Santos Roleplay (in-game, forums, IRC, Teamspeak or any other of our services), admin instructions are final, whether they are stated in the rules or not — they should be accepted and followed at all times.

If you come across a bug on any of our services, you are required to report it. Exploiting bugs is prohibited and will get you permanently banned. It is your obligation to report rule-breakers as well.
Punishment: Ranges from kick to 60 minutes of admin jail depends on the severity.

Power-gaming - can be defined as performing acts that are not humanlike; forcing roleplay on others without giving them a fair chance; making up things which did not happen so that you can benefit; roleplaying things which are not possible script-wise so that you can gain an unfair advantage. Examples:

A). * John_Doe turns into hulk and smashes SAN tower.
B). Getting off the ground and running away after you have been tazed by a police officer.
C). * John_Doe spits in Kin_Wang's eye, immediately causing him to die.
D). Roleplaying that an item is not on you ICly when it is already on you script-wise. (e.g. during frisks)
E). Roleplaying that your strip club is guarded by non-player characters (NPCs).
F). Entering a car and doing /taw and /tad to steal items with zero role-play involved.

Punishment: From a Jail to a ban.

Meta-gaming - Using Out Of Character information In Character (metagaming) is not allowed. Inciting someone to metagame is also against the rules. This includes emoting information that other people have no reason to currently know — your /me's and /do's should not state what others cannot see, hear, touch, smell or taste. Examples:

A). John_Doe reads Sam_Johnson's OOC nametag and roleplays that he now knows him.
B). Kanye_West messages John_Doe OOCly and tells him that he is being robbed at his house. John_Smith then decides to change his IC plans in such a way so that he can help Adam_West.
C). * Adam_West begins to think about killing the men who attacked him.

Using VoIP programs such as Teamspeak, Skype and Ventrilo to communicate IC whilst in-game is strictly forbidden.

It is also against the rules to use alternative characters to interact with your main accounts, gain knowledge from your main, pass on info and so on. Alternate characters must interact IG with others to gain knowledge or carry out related tasks.

Death-Matching - Killing another person without a sufficient roleplay reason (deathmatching) is not allowed. Unnecessary provoking falls under this rule as well. Terrorism is strictly forbidden unless done with admin permission.

This also includes revenge killing — when you respawn after being executed and then kill (or at least attempt to) the person who has just murdered you. Your In Character memory is wiped off everything that led up to your death when you are killed, so you should forget about your attacker.

Punishment: Eligible to be admin jailed for 40 minutes.
