How to post a complaint
Posted: November 25th, 2010, 6:02 pm
Here are the biggest two secrets in SA:MP
We can't monitor everything. We don't have the manpower, no server does.
Not everything is logged. SA:MP just doesn't work that way.
We need your help if you want people to be punished.
Gather evidence
Video is best. Video is the only way to capture actions like chickenrunning, cbugging, etc. I'd recommend FRAPS. Have it running before you start playing SA:MP and start capture before you plan on killing a dude or start capture when bad things are happening.
Screenshots are OK in some cases. Screenshots can help prove logging to avoid, show chat logs, etc. Be sure to include key evidence like blood splatters or important server messages.
Ideally, your evidence should be all the proof needed. For example, a single screenshot of a car on your head will not prove that a guy carparked you. You'd need a series showing he stayed on your head.
Inform the admins
/report the offense as soon as possible so we can check relevant tools, watch for repeat offenses, and ask any questions.
If you have evidence and it is requested, post in this forum. If you don't get a response, post in this forum.

Topic title: [Jerkname] - [jerkthing] Ex: Frank_Poop - Chickenrunning and logging to avoid death
In the thread, post your video with who is doing what and, if possible, when. Sometimes including higher res screenshots alongside videos are good just to establish names as sometimes they can be blurry.
Please play the video at least once without any video effects so we can see it in real time. PLEASE do not add sound effects or music.
If your friends were there, they can also post to back up the accusation.
Wait
Post nothing else unless you have another video on the same subject or are asked a direct question by an admin.
Do not post inflammatory shit such as calling each other names.
If you post worthless shit that isn't a complaint or a direct answer to an admin's question then you will be punished at admin discretion.
