SUGGESTION GUIDELINES - READ BEFORE POSTING TO AVOID AUTOMATIC REJECTION

Suggestions Guidelines

Thank you for your interest in submitting a suggestion. We highly value all player feedback and strive to make the server better with every update.

Before submitting a suggestion, please take a look at the points below to ensure your suggestion will not be rejected.

Check Existing Features/Suggestions
Make sure you use the forum search function to check if your suggestion has already been submitted by someone else.
Also, it may seem quite obvious to most, but please ensure features aren't already implemented on the server before suggesting them.

Planned Features
There are many planned features to be added in the future. These will gradually be implemented in updates to ensure there is always something new to do. Please do not post suggestions for things already planned to be added.

- Illegal street racing: A scheduled illegal street race event will occur weekly. Ranking top 3 in this race will yield rewards including cash and score.
- Stadium events: Many stadium-based events are planned, including Sumo, Kickstart, Bloodbowl, Monster Derby, 8-track Racing and Dirtbike racing.
- Other upcoming events include: BASE Jumping, Deathmatch and Team Deathmatch.
- Many new missions and activities, including: News reporter (Journalist), lawn mowing, golf caddy, combine harvest, commercial pilot, cargo pilot and many more.
- Casino heists: To advance on from the bank robbery, players will be able to rob casinos and other high-value establishments such as hotels in teams to make some high-risk high-payout cash.
- Planes, buses and trams: Currently public transport is limited to trains, however buses (inner and outer city and also between cities), planes (between cities) and trams (around San Fierro) will be added one day.
- Co-op mission support: Many missions have the potential to be co-cooperatively played by multiple players. This functionality will be implemented in the future just like Securicar, for example for Trashmaster.
- More job events: There are currently over 10 different random job events for all jobs. More will keep being added to ensure players always have something to do.
- Property features: Health refill, armor storage, inventory item storage, wardrobe for changing clothes/skin, eating and sleeping.
- Property renting: Players will be able to rent out their property to other players. These players will benefit from some of the things owning a property gains you, such as vehicle storage and a spawn point.
- Arms dealer: An arms dealer role will be added in the future and allow players to sell wholesale guns to other players.

Be Clear and Concise
Please ensure we can easily understand your suggestion and how it would function. If we have to have ask you to clarify things or elaborate on ideas then it takes more time.
Also, keep your suggestion short. It's got more chance of being reviewed in depth if it's not 1000 words long. Get to the point, summarise, don't go overboard on detail unless it's relevant.

One Suggestion Per Topic
Please only suggest one thing in a topic. If there are two closely-related suggestions (e.g. add a crowbar and add a rack in garages to hang it and other things up) then they could be in the same suggestion as they are part of the same feature set. But don't suggest two completely unrelated things in a single topic, as it makes it impossible to categorise.

Re-posting and Spam
Don't post suggestions that have been rejected before. Use the forum search function to search for your suggestion before posting. If a suggestion was already rejected, it was for a reason. Posting the suggestion again isn't going to magically result in it not being rejected again.

If a suggestion has been accepted but not yet implemented, please don't suggest it again. We are either discussing its implementation or working on implementing it. While we may give a projected release version/date for suggestions, these are heavily subject to change and aren't guaranteed.

NOTE: Approved suggestion s are subject to change or reversal. They are not final decisions.

Commonly rejected suggestions
The following suggestions are commonly suggested but will never be implemented:
- Anything overly sexual or violent. The game is rated 18 but we all know there's 12 year olds playing this game (or probably younger).
- Anything nasty/vulgar (e.g. rape).
- Overly RP features. This is not an RP server.
- Anything which encourages DMing or other rule-breaking.
- Unoriginal ideas or features clearly copied from other servers.
- Anything too unrealistic or improbable. It's a game, but we want to maintain a sense of realism.
- Anything technically impossible. SA-MP is very limited. If your suggestion sounds impossible to implement, it likely is. Maybe do some research about what's possible or ask staff?
- Anything which promotes hate, discrimination, acts of terror etc.
- Anything which defames or harms in any way, any person, group or organisation, including other servers
- Anything which is religious or political
- Anything too offensive
- Anything which makes light/fun of serious world events
- Removal of features that have purposefully been put there for a reason, such as the disabling of front-facing drive-by shooting on motorbikes or reloading animations
- Decreasing jail time, making it so you don't get jailed after death etc. or removing/reducing monetary penalties for jail/death
- Mobile phone feature: it's unoriginal, doesn't fit the 1992 setting, and the Interaction Menu already exists

Feature Removal
Features such as screen fading, anti-cbug, anti-quickreload, anti-slidebug, swaying camera etc. are added for a reason. Unless a majority of the community voices concerns and wants a feature removed, they will stay.

Feasibility and Worth
It would be nice if I had an infinite amount of time to add every little suggestion, however unfortunately I don't, and I can only add a small portion of suggestions. No matter how much I want to add them all, I simply don't have the time or resources. I have to be very selective.


Thank you for reading these guidelines and for your feedback.
