Those adverts are in no way legitimate. Roleplay is required to "counter" a situation. In fact, if you have to call it a "counter" instead of "role play," the situation should be suspect. People have been warned to stop doing adverts that in no way actually involve you in the situation and do not convey any information to the player actually doing it since it could apply to literally every person on the server. Staff should know this by now, it's been the rules for 8+ months. From the MOTD: Just because you are in a party / gang with somebody doesn't mean you are automatically "involved" with their situations. If you're going to kill someone because they attacked your party / gang member, make sure they know you're together. Using a generic advert without actually telling the person it applies to them is not a valid way of telling that person you are together. They would have no way of knowing. If one person adverts, you can't expect the entire map to stop what they're doing and check to see if it's them Deal with situations using role play. If you aren't role playing together or they have no reason to suspect that you are connected in any way, it makes no RP sense to randomly pull out a gun and shoot them. Examples of a BAD party / gang member Sniping a player from across the map because his party member got mugged Attacking a player because someone just killed their party / gang member when you were no where near by / not visible Examples of a GOOD party / gang member Running up to the player who killed their party / gang member and telling them they are about to die for killing their member Killing a cop for cuffing your party / gang member you are role playing with (fishing, mugging, kidnapping players together, etc) In short, if it's not obvious enough that it's necessary to say something in chat, a generic bind is not enough. You have to tell the person through voice, text, or mentioning their name in an advert. You have to let them know, as the motd says to. To make things ez, here's some short quotable rules: "If they have no way of knowing you're connected to this guy, you really aren't." "If you're a bunch of bloods riding a bike and you get off and a cop cuffs you, they're obviously all involved with you." "If you guys are two yoshis fishing side by side and a cop cuffs you, you're obviously involved with each other." "If you're yelling at a cop to drop your friend or you'll shoot, you're obviously involved with him." "Someone seemingly being randomly being shot from across the map makes Walter mad, stop using those fucking adverts." "If you are doing something with the dude, kill the cop. --> If not, tell the cop to stop."
