I have one issue with this system... When someone is IP banned, how can they even get on here to Appeal a ban when they are banned for 2 weeks via IP ban? Just wondering because someone was wrongfully banned and I would love to have them appeal and have it lifted but they can not because they are IP banned and have no way to even speak to any staff here for 2 weeks? It's kinda childish if you ask me to ban someone for... What the admin called it was Stream Stalking?! WTF is Stream Stalking?! How can you be banned for it when all the streamers requested that person to join a convoy and you ban them for it for 2 weeks?!

Thats kinda what I said Dave The best thing would just to have a truck skins. So if a max of 10 VTC's then you would have to add in 10 mods skins. But you would also have to set it up who can use the skin... That or set it up where if you are using a skin for that VTC, all info and credits would go into there pool for the month. (when they ever get the server side profiles stuff going that is)

what about just for red light and speeding violations? Like I said, the /report would have to be used for collisions with other players. A admin would have to be the one to take away a star from the one found to have caused. Also the rank system could be used to take away a star for a longer period of time. If you get too many /reports and a admin finds you to be the cause of the wreck or multiple accidents, then you loose a star for a day. Loose all 5 stars within 5 days and get banned forever. The current ban system is very hard to figure out 100% of the time who is to blame... Unless a screen shot or video was captured. There are many who are troll's and others who get caught in the wake of them... Others its de-sync and lag to blame. Even a admin can't be watching every player. This rank system would help pin point a troll. Also this will make players learn of there mistakes in game vs having to ban someone for a 1st offense and fill out a ban appeal. If you loose all 5 stars in 5 days, forget the appeal, it's obvous you should not be playing and can't follow rules. And the video was ment for admins who are recording and taking screen shots. (But streamers/youtube users already caputre video anyway for just such a reason)

In reply to EddieStobart: There really is no way to do this, thats why I said the /report would still be needed for accidents and video/picture of violations like that. The only thing that would be nice is if a admin could be able to remove a star for a accident. I understand de-sync and lag could also become a factor and theres not much you can do in charging who is at fault other then eye witness or video evidence

The bugs get fixed then there is no need to restart, but if they want to just band-aid the problem... then yes, restarting would "fix" the issue, but its only a temp solution

Suggestion Name: Driver Rank System Suggestion Description: License system that can control the violation road rules breakers Any example images: None Why should it be added?: So for example you have a driver rank posted under your in game name above your truck. This will be viewed as Stars: [steam Avatar] [Player Name] ***** If your a troll, rammer, speed camera violation and red light runner, then the stars go down untill you hit 0 stars and are kicked. each star = 2 violations 10 violation = 0 Stars 0 Star = kick Each Star = 30min game play with 0 violations commited So if you keep passing speed cameras, running red lights, you would loose a star per violation. If you are ramming into many people, you would loose stars as well. I am not sure how to get this to work with a accident as if you are rammed into or crash into someone, both would get a violation as the system don't care who run into who, just that 2 trucks hit one another. The /report system will have to do on that unless code could be improved in detection if the accident happened if someone was on the wrong side of the road at the time of accident, or if someone just ran a red light and then had a impact would = star lossed for the one who ran the red light within a short time of the wreck. (like if redlight violation is detected, any accident within 5 sec also counts as a violation to the one who ran the red light) I would also say test this on the US server as no one really plays on this server and would be a lighter impact to the EU server, also remove the 90kph and test a higher speed like 110kph. Reason behind increase of the speed would alow for the level of responsibility to increase for the driver, you wan't to speed, okay speed, but you rack up to many violations, your kicked for 30mins.

If ETS2MP would support more mods to make a VTC look more importaint then yes... Currently VTC's are just groups of friends or clans who truck together. If there was more meaning behind a VTC in game then I would say limit to 25 major VTC's that have a logo and truck skin in game... But this would require a server side block to non VTC members from using the skins. This will require almost EVERYTHING controled by the server side (accounts, options, mods, skins, ect...) Would also require a server side controled economy and bank account (or a VTC bank account and be able to trade money, pull loans out from the VTC and pay back to the VTC) As of right now VTC's are kinda pointless other then a social gathering of truckers, clans, or friends/family and a posted log of freight outside ETS2

The only way I would accept this is if they put a limiter of 90kph for 2 lane roads and 4km's from major intersections of cities, 110kph on highways (3-4 lanes) and then make 45kph 2km before the citie and all roads inside the city (willing to accept a slower speed in cities) 90kph is so slow as is, I find myself on freeroam server more, and the US server should have a limit of 110kph all the time (I would play on the US server more if this was possible) I also hope that American Truck Simulator MP will not have a limiter and if it does, should be 70mph and not 55mph (or at least 65mph) In all I think that if you can't currently have players drive at a limit of 90kph responsible then 45kph just another reason to single out trolls who should be banned/kicked vs skilled ETS drivers who have fun and speed responsible in rual areas and monitor the player list for popular cities. (I keep player list up at all major intersections just for the reason that idiots don't even bother to look and drive responsible)
