Importance of suggestion: You can better decide.
Why should it be accepted: There have been a lot of topics created related to this issue and dozens of suggestions but yet there's no final solution for it. Not just me, but almost every player in this server is getting annoyed by this abuse and it is actually giving criminals an advantage to avoid Jail and Alcatraz. The server is a fun roleplay type server but criminals by abusing this bug are just making cops leave their jobs and do criminal activities which will ruin the gameplay for everyone. Even some administrators agree on adding a rule for this but server management is not allowing to do that, why? There's no exact reason. Recently, there was a topic created on General Discussion regarding "/q and /quit abuse" and almost 95% voted YES but still no action was taken and the reason was:
I want players to give their opinions about this suggestion and tell me whether it is really important to do something about this abuse or not.

2. Even if you could report it on the Forums, you ALWAYS would have to have Video proof, which means you'd have to videotape every single Chase you attend. And who would want that much data-waste on his harddrive, right?
3. We do not want to disallow people to quit the game, i mean, come on that would be a quite silly thing to do... Also can't introduce a system like the jail evade one, for reasons stated above

How will you know on the reports whether the player was wanted or not? Well, it can be easily scripted that whenever a (highly, most) wanted player leaves the game there'll be a message printed on cop chat that "This player has left the game, no need to fucking chase him." or if you think it'll mess up the whole chat and will spam then you can instead add a tag on leaving message, which will be only visible for cops, like "Greatsan left the server. (Leaving) (Highly Wanted). There are many many more ways to fix this issue if you just try to fix it and not avoid. One thing more, closing this suggestion without exact reasons will simply add a red flag for management and nothing else.
What about 'hit evade'? I asked the same question from Johncarer but he didn't reply. Admins also can't see whether the player has left the game for a reason or just to evade a hit, right? They punish users when they see that they joined the game within 30 minutes of leaving (as written on rule) and the same rule can be implemented for /q abuse and it won't cause any problem because if they player will join within 30 minutes he/she can be easily catched and get reported/punished.
2. Even if you could report it on the Forums, you ALWAYS would have to have Video proof, which means you'd have to videotape every single Chase you attend. And who would want that much data-waste on his harddrive, right?
Just by taking two screenshots of the player leaving and joining the game within 30 minutes will solve the case. There's no need of any video. I'd mention the same case of 'hit evade' and other you can think of yourself.
3. We do not want to disallow people to quit the game, i mean, come on that would be a quite silly thing to do... Also can't introduce a system like the jail evade one, for reasons stated above
No one ever said to disallow people to quit the game. You never even disallowed people to quit the game on 'hit evade' rule, did you? By adding a rule, players will know that if they leave the game in the middle of chase they'll be easily caught like 'hit evade' and if they seriously want to leave the game then no problem they can and later join after 30 minutes which won't cause any silly reports or warnings.
I want players to give their opinions about this suggestion and tell me whether it is really important to do something about this abuse or not.
