I'm sorry, but I'm not sure what ghost mode has to do with this. The op specifically states that you should wait for ghost mode to expire before continuing, they also state that you should pull over to one side. Both of these ensure that you rejoining the server should be as smooth as possible. What you're talking about is people loading in and then just driving through people, before they load in. I agree that this isn't correct; however, it's only against the rules if done blatantly and with abuse in mind. Merely not realising that a) you're in ghost mode (some newer players may not twig this) and b) the people around you haven't loaded in yet (some newer players may not check the mini-map), all these are honest mistakes, but can be avoided by always parking up to one side before disconnecting from a server, under any situation. If someone purposely makes a save whilst in a traffic jam, and then loads that save, knowing full well they're in a traffic jam, and drives forward, then there's grounds for that behaviour to fall under 2.5. This is relatively hard to prove, though. All this aside, none of what's suggested in this article should be construed as a rule violation, as it's actually the complete opposite, it helps avoid more people loading saves and not realising that once their ghost mode runs out, if they're inside of another truck, there may be an issue. Using ghost mode incorrectly = no, I don't support this. Doing exactly what this article outlines = yes, i do support this, as it can only be beneficial.

Credit where credit is due to the author of this guide, for pointing out a way that people can avoid traffic jams, should they wish to. Personally, I think this is an acceptable approach and is something often recommended to players who find themselves in situations like this. Whilst this approach isn't applicable in all situations, it isn't against the rules in anyway and most certainly cannot be categorised as abuse/spamming. Everything done in the video attached to the guide is done so safely. I really don't see your issue. Provided the people doing this copy the guide author, there should be no issues. Therefore, i strongly support this guide and encourage more people to do the same. Especially when there's an impassable blockage, as from experience, this helps quash the number of in-game reports and frustrated drivers annoyed that they can't proceed. All in all, a great guide and I can't fathom why your first reaction would be claim it should be against the rules.

You could just use Trucky

This feels like it'd make the situation less safe. You'd end up with an undoubtable queue of people waiting for others to pass the toll, thus causing more chaos. The speed bumps are already quite an effective method of combating people using the petrol stations to undertake those passing by, as, if gone over at speed, they can send your truck/car into a frenzy. These alone don't stop all, but i have seen them have an effect, certainly more of an effect than a toll booth would. On top of this, I don't think it'd fit aesthetically; slamming a toll booth on the start of the slips would look so out of place. Whereas, the speed bumps look like they belong there. I'd also argue that the numbers of people who undertake via the petrol station and are able to instantly re-join the flow of traffic is minimal. Quite a number of them attempt to undertake only to have their attempts fraughted by people refusing to let them in. What may improve things is to alter the road markings to force players exiting the petrol station to use the entirety of the slip road; thus, allowing people already on the road to have more time to see them, and slow, should they wish to let them out. It also decreases the appeal of using the petrol station as a cut-through all together, as they know they're unable to cut straight back into traffic. This could be achieved by either altering the road markings to be more like this or by Event Managers using their DOS (Dynamic Object System) to place some concrete barriers and/or cones along the edge of the slip road, physically preventing people from merging early; much like with the start of CD. The question that should be asked for any of these proposals is whether the benefits are worth the development/add-on team's time. To which my answer is: yes, if a simpler approach is used, like the one i've offered.

Suggestion Name: When showing tmpID above name is toggled, show it next to ({gameID}) in CB messages Suggestion Description: It's pretty self-explanatory. Presently, only the player's in-game ID is shown next to their name while they're speaking over CB. My idea is to allow the ability to also show their tmp_id, so it makes reporting players who abuse CB much easier; without having to rely on having used `/pinfo` or looking at spawning logs. Of course, you could search someone's name up, but TruckersMP's player search is renowned for not being the best, and it's much harder to search for names with non-alphanumeric characters. Any example images: N/A Why it should be added: I think it's a handy extra that could prove helpful. Credit to @djoh for suggesting this be made a suggestion.

TruckersMP IDs are incremental for a reason. Incremental IDs aren't designed to be retroactively assigned. Therefore, to ask for old IDs to be retroactively assigned to newer accounts is to do away with the whole idea of them being incremental. TMP IDs are designed to offer a quick and easy reference to a user, it doesn't matter how many there're or if someone is "farming". At this moment in time, there's exactly 5,882,698 accounts registered (registered meaning they aren't deleted).

As far as I'm aware, the lambo is a staff exclusive vehicle. The police variation is, as to be expected, reserved for game moderators+.

I don't really see what the purpose for this would be. Players would still be able to find you, by your in-game ID, using things like the TruckersMP map. Having TMP ids present removes anonymity. The only benefit to this would be to hide inappropriate usernames, but these are typically few and far between and I'd doubt that reason alone would warrant the development effort this would require.

Suggestion Name: Custom assets for event servers. Suggestion Desc: For partner events and official events, there’s the ability for there to be custom map mods and so forth loaded specifically for those events. I was wondering what the possibility of offering some verified VTCs the chance to upload their own custom mods/map edits along with their event servers request and then, if all is well, having those map edits loaded onto their specific event server for that period of time. It’s quite a niche suggestion, but I think it would really widen the scope for community involvement in events. Especially for real ops type events and so on. For example, in the case of real ops, the possibility of being able to add some operations of their own into areas along the route. In essence, making their own real ops, but on a smaller scale. Any example images: n/a Why it should be added: It’s admittedly niche and properly quite complex to implement, but those things aside, I think for those who’d use such a thing (if Indeed anyone would; feedback from VTCs and players alike very much welcomed) it’d be a great addition and a great way to liven up events from a community standpoint. It’d remove the restrictions on custom events only being possible by truckersMP themselves. It’d also open the door for much more creativity.
