Moderator guidelines

Las Venturas Playground is getting larger every day, as is the crew. We noticed it can be hard for crewmembers to decide what kind of punishment is needed for different kinds of misbehavior. For example: some crewmembers kick players who refuse to speak English, others just mute them. We feel it's time for some guidelines. You don't have to learn every penalty by heart, just read through them and use this as a reference.

If you totally disagree with a punishment, contact the mangement and we'll reconsider it.

Note: Do not kick cheaters. If there are admins online, ask them to ban. If there are no admins around, use the /crew - text command to notify admins in #LVP.crew. If no-one replies you can use /kick.

Last but not least, there are also changes concerning:

•  
• Driveby's
   
• Indoor fighting
   
• Bug abuse
  

Starting with LVP 2.6 they are all allowed, but NOT encouraged.
The simplified reason of this: Driveby's are a part of the main game.
And when everyone can use them, they don't bring disadvantage to anyone.

Indoor fighting, also part of the main game.

Bug abuse: We can't watch every player each second. So to avoid things like:
- Why can x use bugs, and if I use them I got banned?
We allow them all.

Less rules, more fun, more Playground.
