Your ingame name: [WoS]AlPhA
Rule breaker ingame name: [BS]Dino92
Reason for reporting: Advertising website trough housenote (something new? xD)
ScreenShot/Video: (Please attach) See attachement (I disabled the website otherwise I can get banned to)

It is not advertising unless they are attempting to take our players away by advertising other SA-MP servers.

May be that a personal website or a SAMP server related one?

But why do most admins ban players when they post sites in the chat? so they cant post sites in chat but they can in housenotes?

One thing is making spam of a website and other thing is putting it once when talking with someone like your friend, or just, ''check Youtube, its a great page!''

At least there is nothing in ToS about putting websites in Hnotes.

Yeah but I think JaTochNietDan never thought people will add ads in Hnotes when he made the ToS.
Also, isnt it the same? I mean, your advertising a website

They shouldn't be.  We used to do that in the past but admino let us know that what he means with the advertising rule is that it's only advertising if you advertise another server but saying something like "Everyone come to (name of server)" or posting the IP of it.  But remember that we do take everything individually here.   This is the way I do things when it comes to advertising: I ban if I feel someone is advertising another server or  a potentially dangerous website (such as a Warez or illegal site) or a pornography site (because we have some kids that play here and many of them contain harmful viruses or other types of malware that can harm your computer), but when it comes to personal websites I wouldn't really be ok with them advertising a website directly in chat like "come to my website!!" but I would be fine to just have it out there with it in something like an hnote.

Too long don't read version: I won't ban advertising hnotes unless they advertise another SA-MP server.

Okay topic can be closed then.

1 quick note, an Admin said (dont remember its name) that they dont ban people who only post IP's, but if thats true, why did this guy get banned then: http://www.worldofstunt.com/index.php/topic,7239.0.html

How you see he SPAMMED that IP on chat

This topic is -Closed- because no need for this anymore
