Introduction
Every section has its own set of rules. So does the GTA:SA Multiplayer Section. Instead of the rules being scattered throughout the different sub-sections, everything has been re-established here for it to be more clear and easier to keep track of. The rules are in a alphabetical order. Here is a table of contents of all the information in this thread, simply use "CTRL + F" and copy the text to quickly jump to the information you search.
1. Introduction
2. Section Moderators
3. Global GTA:SA Multiplayer Section Rules
4. Advertisement Sub-Section Rules
5. Releases Sub-Section Rules
6. Tutorials Sub-Section Rules
7. Closure

Keep in mind that when you break one of the rules, you will receive a warning. When you have got 3 warning points, your account will remain limited until one of these points expire.

If you think some rule is missing or have a idea for a new rule, please contact one of the Section Moderators.

If this does not apply to you, report the problem.

If someone posts a thread or a comment not following the rules please do not reply to the thread with comments such as "post more screenies, more details pls" and so forth, there is a report button for a reason, please learn to use it. This doesn't mean you can abuse the report button.

Credits are always expected on a release thread/post, please respect that people have created releases to share not to have there work stolen and claimed.

You are not allowed to offer (or ask) private help. Such things include: help over Teamviewer, help over PM (/conversations), join.me, etc. Make sure you keep everything inside the thread, so it helps future members with the same problems to fix it.

When replying to a help thread's please give constructive feed back in your post, it would be pointless and not wanted by the person asking for help.
