Generation told me that FearRP does NOT Apply if you have your gun lowered, is this true? I have always lived in the world that it still is FearRP?

Why does one recieve a "Warning Point" if one decides to post on an old thread (Necroposting) considering it is not in the Forums Rules, CityRP Rules or the Terms of Service?

Should this "rule" (above) be kept although it does not harm anyone?

Why not just lock nonrelevant threads?

If one wishes to appeal a point, which section should they post a "Unwarning Request" in?

If you kill someone and he drops a weapon, someone else who is just there at the gunfight picks it up, and you then point him a weapon, as a Corleone or just a normal criminal, and tell him to drop it/give it, does he have to give it?

If you are pointing a weapon to someone and accidentally shot him, does he have to follow FearRP.

Can you have to jobs in you job description, for example "Criminal/Burglar.

If a police officer/SRU shoots you, can you shoot back?

RV is it, or is it not bulletproof.
Unwritten rules, can they be enforced, if yes then why.

RV is it, or is it not bulletproof. 
The RV is not meant as a bulletproof vehicle and should not be used as one.
One example could be you being inside of the RV when the door is locked, if someone points a gun at you through a window you should still obey FearRP.

Unwritten rules, can they be enforced, if yes then why.
As stated in the rules, we are unable to cover every single detail within the rules, we expect people to use common sense and not do any questionable things or search for loopholes.
If a user is unsure whether or not something is allowed they should go to the newly added thread "Rules Q&A" (This thread), here they will be able to ask questions regarding rules and clarify if things are allowed. 
You can ask about any "unwritten" rules in this thread. It will be added to the main post once answered, if deemed necessary we might add it to the rules.

If a person is RDMing around, can you kill him as SRU or would that be Backseat Administarting, as, in the roleplay perspective, the shooter is still a threat to Citizens

Is it RDM to kill an officer if he witnessed you with guns and you don't want him to call for backup?

* You tied him and showed him in a room beforehand, so he is your hostage

Surely we cannot leave things that are "questionable" open to peoples interpretation, I quite simply think if it is a rule you can be punished, if it is not a rule, the staff member in question must advise you that in their eyes you are doing something that is "questionable" and should stop, if you proceed to do it then you will be punished.

That way we do not have staff members banning for stupid things because they have a grievance with someone or some petty shit like that.

Equally to counter the answer to the RV, it would be illogical to keep such a vehicle at the time being as it is clearly bugged and needs fixed, otherwise people will exploit this and will subsequently end up being banned because of the developer who made this inability to code it correctly, as afore mentioned, it would only make sense to remove such an item before it is abused.

Not every player can be expected to know that it cannot be used as such.

I've spoken with some people regarding jumping over walls via being "Boosted" by one or multiple people, now will this be classified as failrp, to use other players to climb over walls, to enter a property and such?

Am I allowed to use bait cars* as police?

* Unlock a car at lets say BP, then have a patrol car close to it, ready to hunt the car down and arrest the people stealing it

Yes, using bait cars is fine.

Can you shoot tranquilize bodies?

I don't see why not, there's no reason to disallow that.

Generation told me that FearRP does NOT Apply if you have your gun lowered, is this true? I have always lived in the world that it still is FearRP?

If you have already been put under FearRP once by a gun aimed at you, then the person holding you under FearRP lowers their gun, you should still follow FearRP.
The player could deploy and shoot the firearm within a second.

Why is it not failrp to kill someone if they dont have money when you are mugging them?

Will be discussed, please be patient.

If you kill someone and he drops a weapon, someone else who is just there at the gunfight picks it up, and you then point him a weapon, as a Corleone or just a normal criminal, and tell him to drop it/give it, does he have to give it?
Yes, it would also be FailRP to run in the middle of a gunfight to pick up a weapon.

If you are pointing a weapon to someone and accidentally shot him, does he have to follow FearRP.
Yes, see the explanation in OP.

Can you have two jobs in your job description, for example "Criminal/Burglar.
To some extent yes, they should however be in close correlation.

If a police officer/SRU shoots you, can you shoot back?
Yes, as long as you are not put under FearRP and you are not a part of the government.

If a person is RDMing around, can you kill him as SRU or would that be Backseat Administrating, as, in the roleplay perspective, the shooter is still a threat to Citizens

You've kind of answered your own question, it is also an IC situation and therefore you can take action towards the threat.
The same applies to people mass CDM'ing, as they're still a threat to the citizens of EvoCity in-character.

Is it RDM to kill an officer if he witnessed you with guns and you don't want him to call for backup?

* You tied him and showed him in a room beforehand, so he is your hostage

You should not kill an officer due to them having seen you with weaponry.
One thing you could do in such a situation would be to untie the officer in a room, tranquilize him and then leave the area and escape from the officer.

If you want to bring roleplay into the situation and the officer agrees, then you could try and talk with the player OOC-ly if he would like the situation to take a turn in for example; Bashing him in the head with a baseball bat, making him forget stuff.
You always need to agree on both ends otherwise it would be powergaming.

Unwritten rules, can they be enforced, if yes then why.

One-man boost should be alright, you can be one player who jumps on another and boosts over a wall. 
You should not do more than a one man boost.
