Hello truckers! We come to you with big news regarding the way we issue bans. Following a long internal discussion and having taken into consideration a number of factors, some rather large changes will be made to rule §2.8 - How bans are issued. As of 4th May 2022, permanent bans due to history will no longer be issued. This means that rule §2.8 - How bans are issued has been updated, and is now written as follows: §2.8 - How bans are issued The first 3 bans are issued at the staff member’s discretion. The 4th ban is thirty days. The 5th ban and consecutive bans are ninety days. Any bans older than 12 months at the time of the new ban being issued are ignored, this 12 month period is the ban cooling-off period. Ban extensions are based on the active (less than 12 months old) bans at the time of expiration and will not be altered if a ban goes over the 12 month period while the ban is active. If you have at least two active history bans in your ban history, staff will extend your next ban to ninety days, regardless of how many bans you have had in the last year. Bans that are extended due to history cannot be reduced, they are strictly thirty days and ninety days. To clarify; if you accumulate 5 or more bans in a 12-month period, all bans starting at your fifth ban will be set to ninety days automatically. This means that your sixth, seventh, etc. ban in a 12-month period will also be set to ninety days. However, this change only applies to bans that are permanent due to history, not due to hacking, ban evading, or other rule violations that can result in a permanent ban. We understand that this rule change could leave you with certain doubts or seeking clarification. Therefore, below you can find some common questions and answers regarding these changes: Will bans previously issued due to history be disabled? Yes. Through an automated process, we will be disabling previously issued permanent bans extended due to history. My permanent ban was not disabled, why? As we are working with a large number of bans, there is always a chance that certain bans could be missed during the mass removal process. In case that applies to you, we invite you to contact us via the appeal system. Will other types of permanent bans also be disabled? No. At this time we are only modifying rule §2.8, meaning that only permanent bans due to history are affected by this rule change. All other permanent bans will remain in place (hacking, ban evading, etc). What will happen if I was recently permanently banned? If you were permanently banned within the last 90 days, your ban will be modified to expire 90 days from the day it was issued. Please note that these bans will not be disabled immediately, like older permanent bans. Will other types of permanent bans continue to be issued? Yes. As this change only affects rule §2.8, there will be no change to the way other types of permanent bans are issued. We understand that people's behaviour and attitudes towards rules can change over time, so we want to give those who have made mistakes in the past another chance to drive on TruckersMP. With these changes, we look forward to welcoming back some former players to our servers. Game Moderation Management --> View post on homepage

This is utterly disgusting. Allowing those who are repeat offenders to now come back into the community, A community that abides by rules, rules that they have clearly given no to attention to in the past is ridiculous. This is utterly deplorable and I sincerely hope the TMP team rethinks the move to let those who have been Perma Banned back into the community. If they have been banned for history then it is clear they cannot follow the community rules, which the vast majority of us have managed to do, for years in some of our cases. Genuinely utterly disgusted and in disbelief that anyone in the staff team thinks this is a good idea. #inb4thiscommentgetsdeleted

Keep in mind that 3 months is a considerable amount of time to deny access to a game server. It is a heavy punishment that discourages repeat offenders while allowing them to improve their behaviour in the long term. Thanks to the efficiency of our report system, repeat offenders are often quickly caught before they can cause further harm to others. Additionally, if a user is truly unfit to play the game on our servers, durations may be overruled through the enforcement of rule §2.9 or §5.2. Moreover, our experience in player management has taught us that some players do indeed change their behaviour over time.

The issue is some simply wont improve their behaviour because they simply dont care, you've stated the issue yourself by saying "some" as i've highlighted in your reply. You are simply wrong.

Greetings, As you may be aware, we have been celebrating our birthday over the last few days! We held a festival provided by TruckersFM and also had a convoy on both ETS2 and ATS. In order to continue these celebrations, from the 2nd of May 2022 until the 15th of May, you can drive the exclusive staff only Police car on our free-roam server. This means that there are no road rules applied. What's been your favourite part so far? The festival, convoy(s) or free-roam? Share your thoughts and photos below! We look forward to seeing some of your screenshots and opinions below. Happy birthday TruckersMP! #TMP8

Our experience tells otherwise; it's not that black and white. It is not our intention to "bring trolls back". Rather, we have revised our banning structure to enforce more reasonable punishments with the values of the community in mind. We still have the means to remove players whose sole purpose it is to cause harm to other players. I would like to stress that reporting players is not a competition; instead, it is a tool to notify our Game Moderation team about troubled players that do not play according to the rules and negatively affect your gameplay. As mentioned above, if users play on our servers with the sole purpose to cause harm to others, then we have the means to remove them. The new rule change, however, covers players that do accumulate multiple bans within a relatively short time frame (which are not necessarily caused by intent) and provides them a chance to improve in the future instead of straight removing them from the platform forever. Removing players forever is an extreme punishment and should only be issued when necessary, but not as an automatic consequence of having n amount of active bans, considering that the context of bans may differ considerably. It is the nature of the offences, not just the number of bans, that matter to us to decide whether a user does not deserve another chance. Albeit understanding that it may seem that way, I can assure you that this is not the case. I hope I have explained it in a way that you understand our reasoning behind this update. We are aware that the number of consecutive players has dropped, which coincided with the release of Convoy Mode. In a recent blog, we also highlighted this and described some of our plans for the future. While Convoy Mode allows you to play however you like with other friends, our servers enable thousands players from all over the world to play together in an exclusive online environment; we aim to extend that experience in the future by incorporating additional exclusive features that the base game won't offer you. This rule change is not part of some shady plan. In fact, we expect most players that have had their ban inactivated by the unban wave have probably left our community already and will only find out they have been unbanned in case they decide to return one day. Moreover, this change has been on our agenda since September 2021. If we were truly that desperate, we could have easily implemented this change a long time ago. I hope this clarifies some of the concerns that were raised.

As I had experience in TruckersMP before, I wanna say, it doesn’t matter whether you ban the trolls/bugs for 3 months or permanent, they will always come back with a new id. So its not a good urguement to be honest. But it gives improved players a chance. They can come back. If anyone is not willing to maintain the rules or he is just a troller, permanent ban will not also stop them. So peace. Give everyone a chance. Let them play TruckersMP and let them have fun. thank you GP,PC and related everyone for reaching to this decision. I welcome the new rules.

Who even plays truckersmp still it's been dead since b4 convoy came this is worthless guess this is suppose to get more people back on to tmp?????

Hey truckers! We hope you have been enjoying celebrating #TMP8 with us, and had fun at the various events on offer over the weekend! A while ago, you may have seen that we mentioned something about buses in TruckersMP in our launcher or on one of our social media channels. The addition of buses has been a much-requested feature in our community for the past few years. Since last year, we have been exploring a partnership with the folks at DBus World to make that a possibility and bring a new way of playing on our servers. As you may already know from the Alternating Vehicles of the past months, our team can bring a bus model themselves, but we want to offer the community more than just a model to drive. Therefore, we are excited to announce that we will be supporting the DBus World client for use on the TruckersMP servers! So… bus when? Well, we want to provide the bus as soon as possible and we are working hard with DBus World to make it happen. At the moment the final touches are being made and we expect to be able to welcome buses to TruckersMP shortly; from now on, we will provide regular updates on our social media channels. Initially, we will only offer one bus, as we want to offer the best performance possible without issues caused by file size and animations. We need to evaluate these aspects thoroughly before we can confidently offer more buses, as we only want to provide a polished end product for you to enjoy. Hopefully, we can count on your support for that! Patreon We also want to offer an insight into our Patreon campaign. Most of you have probably noticed that activity on our servers had decreased in the second half of 2021 and this was also visible in the revenue that we gathered through Patreon. In the image below, you can see that the monthly income through Patreon has been consistently decreasing since May 2021. This income is important for us to ensure that our Game Developers can devote their precious time to TruckersMP, to ensure that regular updates take place and that new features are developed for the community. Later this year, we plan to introduce additional and new benefits for Patrons as we develop them. Are you currently a Patron or have you been a Patron before? We would love to hear your views and opinions on our current campaign so we can make it even better! It would be great if you could help us by participating in this short survey: https://truckersmp.com/survey/15 Other Plans Our lead Developer, mwl4, is currently working to improve our current codebase. This is a crucial task in order to fulfill one of our long term ambitions: to introduce AI traffic on TruckersMP servers. We are hoping to update you on AI traffic in TruckersMP later this year but we will have to see what the coming months will bring. You can learn more in this blog post. You can also expect to see more features added to the Job Tracker and Job Dispatcher, as well as further improvements to the in-game user interface and the achievement system. We will also be looking into bringing in-game profiles, which you can fully customize to represent who you are, what you prefer doing on our servers, and show off things you unlocked. But that's all for now! We are looking forward to the future and to see what it brings. As always, thank you to everybody who continues to support TruckersMP, and allows us to continue creating this one of a kind modification! We are looking forward to another year full of new content!

I personally feel this change can be partially detrimental to the multiplayer mod. I do agree that perma-bans due to history can be unreasonable but then I feel the time frame for this is too short for individuals to continue trolling in the mod. With this short time-frame, wouldn't this still encourage people to troll after 3 months? In this post, it was mentioned that the team were aware of the trolling problems in TMP. Surely this change wouldn't do much to address this issue TMP is facing. And with that said, I personally think this change is okay but the ban length should be longer by maybe 6-12 months. Maybe I might throw this in as a suggestion later on.

Good decision imo.

1-) There was basically no need to remove permanent ban. You could still add that as a 6th and 7th ban. That way, people can still say "Yep, I need to focus myself on school/work, 3 months ban will be actually helpfull for my life" and return and keep going where they left off. "3 months is a long period" What? Did I really read that? Yeah, it's a long time. If your life has no purpose and you're 7/24 playing the game.... This makes reporting is no longer a useful tool. No one will bother to report users since there is no point. There is no endgame. Why would people waste their time anymore reporting? It'snot like you'll get rid of them eventually. Moderators will be wasting their time over and over again with thousands of trolls who they will have to deal with again every 3 months. You basically removed "life sentence" and you will overload reporting system and will be wasting players & moderators time with no purpose. Now all trolls have no fear losing their acc forever. It's a free real estate. I've reported 1k+ people in 1 year time and I can say, %95 of them were glad and were mocking after what they did. Anyway, I feel sorry moderators who think their work on reviewing reports mean something anymore. It won't. I've left ETS. Cruising in ATS and really enjoying the game. And this rule change is basically cover for bringing players back to TMP. I saw player numbers like %50 low compared to last time I played.

Who will benefit from this rule change will be the trolls who inflicted the same in the past and today earn the right to do it all over again. Whoever broke the rules and was banned perma, will hardly come back with the intention of having fun and respecting the fun of other players. This change is definitely an attempt to refill the servers as they were in the past.

Five bans lifted, driving violations, ignoring the rules of the road, it’s all coming at us, it’s not good, we have to ban threats, people who ignore the rules???

Wednesday afternoon chilling on TMP Freeroom server Thank you for sharing a police cars with us!

So, this essentially means that someone can get banned as many times as they like and it'll never become permanent. Just extensions of 90 days every time they break rules again? If someone is breaking the rules so frequently as to get banned 5 times within a year then do they not deserve a permanent ban? They're directly impacting rule-abiding players' experience just because they can't adhere to the very common sense rules.

The only good thing I see in this change is that now there's no "5th ban in a year will be permanent", so people who have been banned 4 times won't be as scared as before, so there's a bigger chance that they will get the 3 months "vacation". Less trolls in the servers in the mid/long term, as long as the ban-evaders "radar" works correctly.

Dont think this will go well just seems like all the trolls are being let back in

You do the ya, I'll do the yeet. ??

Привет, дальнобойщики! Мы надеемся, что вам понравилось праздновать #TMP8 вместе с нами, и вы весело провели время на различных мероприятиях в выходные! Некоторое время назад вы могли видеть, что мы упоминали об автобусах в TruckersMP в нашем лаунчере или на одном из наших каналов в социальных сетях. Добавление автобусов было очень востребованной функцией в нашем сообществе в течение последних нескольких лет. С прошлого года мы изучаем возможность сотрудничества с ребятами из DBus World, чтобы сделать это возможным и привнести новый способ игры на наших серверах. Как вы, возможно, уже знаете из "Чередующихся транспортных средств" последних месяцев, наша команда может сама привезти модель автобуса, но мы хотим предложить сообществу нечто большее, чем просто модель для вождения. Поэтому мы рады сообщить, что мы будем поддерживать клиент DBus World для использования на серверах TruckersMP! Итак... когда автобус? Ну, мы хотим предоставить автобус как можно скорее, и мы усердно работаем с DBus World, чтобы это произошло. В настоящее время делаются последние штрихи, и мы ожидаем, что вскоре сможем приветствовать автобусы на TruckersMP; с этого момента мы будем предоставлять регулярные обновления на наших каналах социальных сетей. Первоначально мы предложим только один автобус, поскольку мы хотим предложить наилучшую производительность и избежать проблем, связанных с размером файла и анимацией. Нам необходимо тщательно оценить эти аспекты, прежде чем мы сможем с уверенностью предложить больше автобусов, поскольку мы хотим предоставить вам только отшлифованный конечный продукт. Надеемся, что в этом мы можем рассчитывать на вашу поддержку! Patreon Мы также хотим рассказать о нашей кампании Patreon. Большинство из вас, вероятно, заметили, что активность на наших серверах снизилась во второй половине 2021 года, и это также было заметно по доходам, которые мы собирали через Patreon. На изображении ниже вы можете видеть, что ежемесячный доход через Patreon последовательно снижается с мая 2021 года. Этот доход важен для нас, чтобы наши разработчики игр могли уделять свое драгоценное время TruckersMP, обеспечивать регулярные обновления и разработку новых функций для сообщества. Позже в этом году мы планируем ввести дополнительные и новые преимущества для Патронов по мере их разработки. Являетесь ли вы патроном в настоящее время или были им раньше? Мы хотели бы узнать ваши мнения и взгляды на нашу текущую кампанию, чтобы сделать ее еще лучше! Было бы здорово, если бы вы помогли нам, приняв участие в этом небольшом опросе: Здесь Другие планы Наш ведущий разработчик, mwl4, в настоящее время работает над улучшением нашей текущей кодовой базы. Это очень важная задача для реализации одной из наших долгосрочных амбиций: введения AI-трафика на серверах TruckersMP. Мы надеемся представить вам информацию об AI-трафике в TruckersMP позже в этом году, но нам придется посмотреть, что принесут нам ближайшие месяцы. Вы можете узнать больше в этой записи блога. Вы также можете ожидать добавления новых функций в Job Tracker и Job Dispatcher, а также дальнейших улучшений внутриигрового пользовательского интерфейса и системы достижений. Мы также планируем ввести внутриигровые профили, которые вы сможете полностью настроить, чтобы показать, кто вы, чем предпочитаете заниматься на наших серверах, и продемонстрировать разблокированные вами вещи. Но это все на данный момент! Мы с нетерпением ждем будущего, чтобы увидеть, что оно принесет. Как всегда, спасибо всем, кто продолжает поддерживать TruckersMP и позволяет нам продолжать создавать эту единственную в своем роде модификацию! Мы с нетерпением ждем еще одного года, наполненного новым контентом! Smoky Game Producer Оригинал: https://truckersmp.com/blog/269

Welcome Back

Type of event: Freeroam Server name: TMP8 Freeroam [No Road Rules] URL to the thread: Organiser: TruckersMP Date and hour of the event: 2nd May - 15th May Participants: / Event rules: The following game rules will NOT apply on this server: §1.6 - Impersonation of any kind [This rule will be enforced, with the only exception being players are allowed to impersonate law enforcement. For example, a player tag with "Police" is allowed. However, impersonating as Staff such as "Game Moderator" or "Admin" in tag is not allowed] §2.2 - Ramming* §2.3 - Blocking* [Any player that causes major disruption is subject to being teleported to services or kicked] §2.4 - Incorrect Way / Inappropriate Overtaking* §2.5 - Reckless Driving* §2.6 - Inappropriate Convoy Management / Car Abuse* All other rules apply and will be enforced! Please refer to https://truckersmp.com/rules These temporary rules are subject to change at any time without notice. Player collisions will be enabled. Police accessories for the Scout vehicle will be enabled for everyone. This server will be deemed as 'anything goes' in terms of road rules. Players connect to this server at their own discretion. TruckersMP will not be held responsible for vehicle damage. TruckersMP are not obligated to action game or website reports of suspects violating the above-outlined rules.

Suggestion Name: Change the ingame time on event server(s) Suggestion Description: If most convoys start at 18:00 UTC, maybe the ingame time on the event server could be changed? If possible, when a convoy on the event server starts, that the ingame time is set to like 06:00. So everyone can enjoy a nice route during the day. Any example images: Why should it be added?: Now if the convoy starts at 18:00 UTC Summertime, ingame it is 20:00, meaning the entire convoy is being driven in the dark. And when it is night time ingame, you can't see anything of the environment, so what is the use of making a scenic route, if you can't see anything off it? Edit: If it is not possible to make the Event servers, start at a certain time. It might be an idea to forward the ingame time with 6 hours. Cause 1 hours IRL is 6 hours ingame. See it as switching between winter/summer time. Edit 2: As this might take a long time, before it is implanted. To clarify: When summertime comes in effect IRL, the ingame time is forwarded with 6 hours. And then if the ingame time has been forwarded with 6 hours. Then when wintertime comes in effect IRL, the ingame time is set back with 6 hours. In this topic more people voted against changing the ingame time. Please remove this suggestion
