<span style="color: #000000">The graffiti system was introduced in Version 2.5 as an addition to the lineup of features for illegal factions. It is an enhanced version to the former tag system, which was introduced in Version 2.4, and later disabled in Version 2.4 R2.<br>
<br>
The development of the graffiti system started in mid-2014, but its implementation had to be postponed multiple times due to unforeseen circumstances. After two years of consideration, the development team introduced a basic &#39;tag&#39; system in Version 2.4, where players were allowed to place a descriptive text label at any location around the map. Unfortunately, the system was disabled in Version 2.4 R2 due to multiple incidents of misusing the system.<br>
<br>
With the system making a return in Version 2.5, it has been decided to keep this feature exclusive to <em>official</em> illegal factions in order to moderate the number of graffiti placed around the server. This feature was scripted using basic resources that is available from San Andreas Multiplayer.</span>
