Read before posting (Updated: 11th Feb 2017)

[mick88]

Remember: "suggestions" means suggestions. This board is not for posting requests or demands. All threads are read by scripters, but we will reply only to few of them if needed. Ultimately it's up to Mick (server owner) whether new features will be added or not.

Before posting a suggestion, you should search for similar suggestions to yours in both 'suggestions' and 'locked & closed suggestions' boards. If you find a suggestion similar to yours which has been rejected, you should not repost the suggestion unless you feel your suggestion will be more complete than the old one.

When posting your suggestion, you should elaborate what the suggestion will do, how it will work, why should it be added and what are the possible advantages/disadvantages of the suggestion. Scripters and staff may reply to your suggestion to ask further questions about your suggestion if they cannot understand how your suggestion works, or there's an aspect of your suggestion which has been forgotten (like scamming in trading). Ultimately, it is the quality of your suggestion which will decide if it will be added or not.

Posting a reply of nothing but a quote is not adding to the topic. All posts after 11^th Feb 2017 will be removed, and repeated use will get you warned. Please add to the suggestion, or use the poll the topic should have, if you can't be bothered replying.

You should add a poll to your suggestion with options "+1" and "-1". This allows other players to give their opinion on your suggestion quickly and gives scripters a representation of how many players like the suggestion.

Stay on topic. Off topic replies will be removed without notice
Use descriptive suggestion titles, like "Allow events to be created in-game" instead of "Suggestion" etc.

Replies to suggestions must be relevant to the suggestion. Replies with just "+1" or "-1" will be removed, you must explain why you like/dislike the suggestion, otherwise use topic's poll if available. Irrelevant replies will be removed too, so stay on-topic.

The following list contains suggestions which will NOT be added to server, and you must not repost these suggestions;

[COMMENT]
Only add to this list if;
- idea is impossible or very difficult to script
- we don't want the idea on server (list the core definition of the idea, of instead of "adding ammunation shops", just say "adding weapons")
- core idea has been rejected by Mick

Please don't add any suggestion to this list, some suggestions can be good in another form so we should not restrict players from suggesting it again in another form.

[texthide=Changing what side of the road players drive on (either everywhere or in certain areas)]Will cause too much confusion, especially if it was only implemented in certain areas.[/texthide]
[texthide=Tuning trucks]Adding NOS and hydraulics (well, you can have air suspensions... but this is SA-MP) to trucks isn't realistic. Mick removed this for a reason too, and as such it will not come back.[/texthide]
[texthide=Changing amount of server slots]Scripters and admins do not decide this, only Mick does. Mick will only change server slot count when needed, and not on request.[/texthide]
[texthide=Tow truck convoys]Many players towing the same vehicle is impossible...[/texthide]
[texthide=Prohibiting off-road driving with fines]Too difficult to script correctly, and excessively restricts player freedom while driving. If a player wants to go off-road, why not?[/texthide]
[texthide=Getting more pay for completing mission quickly]Rushing (aka. speeding) can cause accidents since players will aggressively drive on the roads. Convoys should take their time and have fun instead of grinding for money.[/texthide]
[texthide=Multi-trailer mods]Having 2+ trailers attached at once is impossible.[/texthide]
[texthide=Helicopter that can attach vehicles]Difficult to perfectly script this, and isn't really needed in a trucking server.[/texthide]
[texthide=Any suggestion which will give VIP advantage over other players]VIP-only advantages (like NOS on trucks, or ability to teleport) will cause server to be unbalanced, turning it into a pay-to-do-better server which Mick does not endorse.[/texthide]
[texthide=Food, sleep and hunger systems]Makes gameplay tedious, especially to newer players and those who just want to convoy.[/texthide]
[texthide=Staff suggestions (incl. new staff ranks like 'helper staff')]Admins manage the staff crew and suggesting new staff members will not affect admin decision. We don't need new staff ranks either since 'helper' is basically a jr.mod.[/texthide]
[texthide=Weighing / ticket stations which are not operated by cops]Cops don't need less things to do, and cops have to make money somehow.[/texthide]
[texthide=Using the SA casino machines]Doesn't work with SA-MP.[/texthide]
[texthide=Adding vehicles with weapons either for purchase or publicly spawned]We cannot trust anyone with weapons mounted on vehicles since it's possible to bypass weapon restrictions with cheats. This includes vehicles like Hunter, Hydra, Rhino and Rustler.[/texthide]
[texthide=Adding weapons (guns, explosives, rockets) to server in any form]Weapons are not needed here.[/texthide]
[texthide=Votekick / voteban systems]Abusable. Just contact admin if a player is breaking rules and they will handle it.[/texthide]
[texthide=Characters other than letters in your custom rank]Mick has personally rejected allowing numbers etc in your rank, so no.[/texthide]
[texthide=Requesting modifications to your property (like house and base)]Once you've bought a house/vehicle/base, you buy it as-is and no modifications can be done to it apart from changing parking range of house/base. Also, this is a suggestions board, not requests board.[/texthide]

Scripters may reply to your suggestion telling you if the suggestion has been rejected, is awaiting approval from Mick (large suggestions need to be approved), or suggestion will be available in next update. Scripters should refer to suggestion topic in pull request for easier overview when approving. Rejections should be accompanied with an explanation. Do not lock suggestion topic until approved / merged.

I've updated this to be much less restrictive.

Note that suggesting things that were on old list is allowed now, but it doesn't mean it will not be rejected. If you are going to suggest something on the old list, please elaborate your suggestion as much as possible.

In case you're wondering what bbcode allows the text to be collapsed, it's [texthide=Label]Content[/texthide].

I just want to state that although we don't seem to reply to your suggestion, we are quite aware of all suggestions in this board (I read this board every hour or two).

"All threads are read by scripters, but we will reply only to few of them if needed."

We cannot add stuff (especially big things) immediately into the gamemode, it requires a decent amount of planning for all new aspects that the feature(s) create.

Rushing features into the gamemode just doesn't work, okay?
