I was in big trouble for this, other people have been sanctioned for this. AD is new to the Admin staff. You can under no circumstances make an ingame bounty. You can hire a Freelancer to ASSIST you in combat.
Let's take a look at the rules, because they were brought to me when I was getting all mad about this rule aswell.
Quote:Bounty-hunting, mercenary and freelance hire
7.1 All bounties must be posted on the forum. If you attack another player to claim a bounty and the bounty is not posted on the forum, you are open to a PvP abuse sanction.
Mercenaries, freelancers and bounty hunters may be hired on the spot in game to assist with a combat without a forum post. The other parties involved in the combat must be made aware of this.*
Take note:

It was for this very clause that I was in trouble just a few months ago, I "bountied" a Codename Dealer that was near me when I was in my transport (note he was not attacking me nor was I attacking him, I was a transport afterall). 4 Mercs "took" my "bounty" and killed him, with me beaming in the goods.
We were all in trouble for making/claiming a bounty that was not posted in forums.
