I cannot speak for TruckersMP nor can I speculate if your ban is valid or not. However, you've been banned for such and should probably use the correct methods of appealing (This is not one of them). I'll quote rule §1.2 again: §1.2 - Ban Evading - PERMANENT BAN Creating or using another account to get around a temporary or permanent ban. Attempting to remove ban evidence to get out of a ban. If the evidence points that you have evaded a ban, staff reserve the right to ban you again without notification. Evidence for ban evading cannot be disclosed due to it containing confidential server-side information. Rule §5.3 may also be of some use to yourself, so I'll leave that below as well. §5.3 - Appealing and filing a complaint If you have been banned, you have the right to appeal the ban via the appeal system. If you feel that your ban appeal is not handled correctly or that you want to file a complaint against a staff member, use our feedback system. Prior to contacting feedback, your ban appeal must be Accepted, Modified or Declined. The feedback system is your last option. Any decision made by high ranked staff members will be final and cannot be appealed in another way. Any abuse of the feedback system can result in a ban from its use. Evidence for bans is required to be available for the duration of the ban plus thirty days. It is not possible to contact any member of the TruckersMP staff about bans that expired over fourteen days ago or a report that was handled over fourteen days ago. Complaints cannot be addressed privately with Staff members. You are required to use the appropriate system to fill in a complaint or appeal a punishment. "And now even a series of channels such as appeals and feedback are closed for me. What does this mean? To put it bluntly, you dare not go public? Someone who has multiple accounts but has not evaded the ban has been permanently banned, so dare not tell?" Bans are not a public matter. If you've not broken the rule you're accused of breaking, your appeal and feedback ticket(s) would've more than likely, been accepted.

You've received the same punishment that anyone who broke that rule would receive. To the best of my knowledge, evidence for ban evading cannot be disclosed due to it containing information that is not for the public eye. §1.2 - Ban Evading - PERMANENT BAN Creating or using another account to get around a temporary or permanent ban. Attempting to remove ban evidence to get out of a ban. If the evidence points that you have evaded a ban, staff reserve the right to ban you again without notification. Evidence for ban evading cannot be disclosed due to it containing confidential server-side information.

You can predict what someone will do, but you cannot know for sure until they do it. While that example is drastic, I can see where you're coming from. However, as I've said above, you cannot know someone's actions until they themselves have acted. Yes, some of the people unbanned may abuse that fact, but that shouldn't remove the chance from people who will obey the rules after they've been unbanned.

Your ban has nothing to do with nationality. You've clearly broken the rules and must face the punishments handed to you. Once again, this topic is to do with the change in rule 2.8. Your concerns are with rule §1.2. Therefore, this isn't the ideal place to voice those concerns.

They haven't respected the rules at the time they were banned, but what's to say they will continue to disrespect the rules after being given a second chance? As previously mentioned, people change and people mature. Should they fail to change their rule-breaking habits, they'll soon find themselves banned again.

Unless you've been banned from the aforementioned feedback system, you're free to create a report against members of staff via it. If you have appealed the set amount of times, you can no longer appeal your ban. If you're unable to use the above and haven't hit your limit or been banned (or anything similar), you could create a support ticket and see if they can get to the bottom of why you cannot use these. I'm not a moderator, but I'd advise that you possibly use the mentioned avenues rather than asking in this topic. Once again, I am not a moderator, all I've said is purely advice, and you can choose to follow it or not.

If you disagree with a decision made by the relevant person(s), you could use the feedback system. Plus, this topic is to do with the recent change of 2.8.

A job can be paid or unpaid. The report system is there to report users who have broken the rules, and should be used for such. If you don't want to report users, that is fair enough. But not doing so will only add to their satisfaction as they're not being punished. In terms of the number of people and what they were doing well that sounds like a typical CD and comes with the territory. You're correct! I have been banned previously. I agree the new proposed maximum length is not long enough and should be longer. I hope not to replicate the previous incidents I have instigated in the past. People who are previously known for such shouldn't have been allowed back onto the network. You're very right.

I agree with your thoughts on the reasoning behind the change. This change will only allow trolls temporary access to the servers as they'll soon be re-banned should they break the rules again (Nothing has changed in this respect). So unless you're unfortunate enough to come across a troll, you'll not be impacted. Moreover, trolls exist on the network at the moment and will continue to exist. The same applies to all other online titles that offer the same or similar environments to TruckersMP. Moderators will have to do their job - that is what they signed up to do. I see no problem with this.

You need to give it time.

I think, if you've been missed, you're to contact someone via the appeal system. ?

You can hope that a user will follow the rules, but in reality, not all will.

We're all human, and humans will make an uncountable amount of mistakes in their lifetime. Plus, this is a game at the end of the day, and you cannot expect everyone to play that game to your liking.

I agree with you. Trolls shouldn't be allowed on the servers, however, this shouldn't stop people who have made honest mistakes from playing again.

People who purposely troll or break the rules shouldn't be on the network; that is a fact - however, many people who were previously banned due to history were banned due to them simply making one too many mistakes. Should a person troll, they'll still be banned, just not for a permanent period; however, they'll still receive a decent length ban. If anything, this new rule allows the people who previously broke the rules to have another chance to prove they've changed their driving ability, and if they haven't, they'll be repeatedly banned.

Hello, The only way I can think of doing it is by checking the list of attendees for members of your vtc. If you want to attempt this, these endpoints may help you: https://api.truckersmp.com/v2/vtc/<vtcid>/members https://api.truckersmp.com/v2/events/<eventid> If required, you can find out more about these endpoints here or here. Let me know if this helps. Kind Regards, Bean

Hello @RenaultMagnum10, If it was safe for all users involved to overtake, they haven't violated rule §2.4 (To the best of my knowledge). But I can't say more than that without seeing some form of evidence. I hope this helps. Kind Regards, TruckerBean

Ahh, thanks. Is there a way to see if bans are still active (not yet expired) using the API? Kind Regards, Bean

That is what I thought, but the API docs say that the active variable is if the ban is still active. https://prnt.sc/aELB2J95B1sV Thanks for the reply, Bean

Hi there, To the best of my knowledge, you can't apply for or rent dedicated TruckersMP servers. Unless for an event with over 100 sign ups. Hope this helps, Bean

When making requests to the bans API, all bans say they are active, tho they are shown as expired on the website. Example How it appears on the website for the last three of my bans. https://prnt.sc/QRyhppDpcDYZ Compared to the API https://prnt.sc/dd7bNiz5_FuG I'm unsure if this is the correct place or topic to post this query, but if someone could provide some insight into why this could be happening. Thanks, Bean
