This is a recurring problem that keeps coming back. Lack of clarity for situations like this means that the staff member dealing with the situation at the time has to make a decision about whether or not this/that thing is allowed. Letting staff make their own decisions on the matter is great and all but when it comes to the repercussions such as when the banned user makes an UBR, you end up with a discussion between multiple staff members (that is often dragged over several days) about whether or not a rule was actually broken in the first place. Adding more clarification in the rules page to things such as the SWAT van will make things so much smoother for staff and players.
This is also comes into another issue that is, the unwritten rules. I'll give an example. About a month ago I got banned for powergaming (stay with me here). At the time, I believed what I was doing wasn't against any rules because I had heard that there were unwritten rules allowing me to do what I was doing. Low and behold, the next day I am banned for powergaming. If the rules about the situation had been made more clear, I would have never got that ban in the first place and I'm sure there are plenty of others out there who feel the same.
The point is this:
The lack of clarification of the unwritten rules led to me getting banned.
The lack of clarification between SA's on rules such as this, will lead to many more un-necessary bans.
All you have to do is write a few lines of text in the rules page, make sure it's not contradicting any other rules and shit like this will drop by 90%
