Maximum punishment: Admin jail or global mute using default duration for most acts. 5 year ban for extreme cases.

2. Listen to server staff, these are people with [UAC] in their name. You must comply with all reasonable requests made by a staff member. Do not annoy staff. Supporters can mute you if you ignore them in Support chat. Do not misuse '/report'.

Maximum punishment: Admin jail or global mute not exceeding 48 hours or the default duration.

3. You can discuss real world things like religion and politics but remain calm and respectful while doing so.

Maximum punishment: Global mute not exceeding 72 hours or the default duration.

4. Do not cheat, exploit bugs or scam players. If you don't break rule 8 you wouldn't get scammed.

Forum Rules

9. Questions posted in the "General Support / Questions" MUST BE ABOUT UAC. If you want to make a server, buy a website or anything that has nothing to do with UAC, DO NOT ASK FOR HELP IN THIS BOARD. Go to "MTA Support" board which is located in "General Support / Questions" board as its child board and ask your MTA related questions there.
10. Registering a forum account via a proxy or using a temporary email account will be assumed as attempted ban evasion or registering with malicious intent and will result in a permanent ban. When we are processing your forum registration attempt and another forum account has been used recently from the same IP address, probably because you're trying to create multiple identities for yourself and or ban evade, you will probably end up banned for multi accounting.

Do not complain about being disconnected or being unable to connect to the server. Posting in the shout box while muted will get you banned from the forum until your mute expires.
15. Asking somebody to vote in a certain way in a topic or post undermines democracy and is forbidden.
16. Giving stupid answers in support board like "format your PC" is stupid and will not be tolerated.

Some ideas for events/activities:

• Call criminals to C villa and do a cop hunt.
• Call either a UAC Staff member or CEM who is not busy and make an event (TDM law vs crims).
• Get inside staffords/raindances and go around SA DMing cops.
• Start a peacefull protest and move towards cops with melee weapons (RP style).
• Gather a bunch of criminals and attend MDM, armed robberies etc together.
• Gather some criminals, tell them to mark and protect you then go around SA killing cops.
• Defend the Fortress, regroup with 5-10 criminals in the fortress and massively kill cops/take the fortress
• Deliver the Heist, gather some criminals and head to Jefferson where the Van will spawn, then escort it on foot to the drop off point to get paid
• Gather some criminals for cop killing, wait for someone to get an APB and protect him from cops.

Posting event rules

1. Criminals will not be able to post JFM events as a Criminal Activity, because you cannot lead a JFM event, all you have to do is to deliver them to JFM and they will be fighting. It doesn't show your authority, being able to lead bunch of criminals in a place without losing any, but gathering more. This can't happen in a JFM event.
(JFM events will be host-ed for the purpose of fun, because It's fun)

2. You can't post a Criminal Activity unless it was held for more than 20 mins. Events that got down in minutes, none could get fun from it cannot be posted. (If event was held for 15 mins, or it was actually fun. It may be confirmed and its rate will be low/very low).

3. Only 1 normal criminal can lead 1 event no matter how big it was, people who can line next to you should be Criminal Bosses, only. Because simply when I see 2 (or more) normal criminals hosting an event (One hosting, one helping). The one helping doesn't make any difference but a post to be quoted in his CB application, It doesn't show his authority but It shows that he was lining next to the host in an activity. Criminal Bosses/Staff are the only ones who may help the criminal in-case the criminal got disconnected or in-case of Criminal calls/barriers/etc.

4. VALID and obvious section for proofs. Lying in your event-post will affect you if you tried applying for criminal boss and your post might be removed. Screenshots MUST show that you were actually leading an event.

5. Screenshots must be taken with the date, press B - Clock when you take a screenshot. (not heavily enforced, but helps us in confirming your event.)

6. If screenshots show the event being led by CBs, instructions were not given by you, authority was not noticed, event will be either invalidated or confirmed with a very low rate.

Note:

Try to put the screenshots/videos in spoilers to avoid some lag.


Event rates:
Low/Very low rates are given for events that was held for less than 20mins, and it was actually fun and criminals somehow did enjoy it. We (CBs) won't really consider as a proof for leading skills. But we consider as an activity from the criminal. Shows that the criminal is active.

Acceptable rate is given for events that was held for 20~25 mins, an acceptable event. Criminals joined and enjoyed. The one leading could manage things up.

Good rate is given for events that was pretty good, It's hard to get this rate as It's the highest one. Mostly given for events that lasted for a long time and the one leading did a real good job in managing his events and in controlling criminals, guiding them and so on.
