  4. ^ I think he doesn't understand that your Ping/MS isn't the only thing that will cause lag.
  5. Ah okies I'm alright with that as well. If only they could add more fueling spots though, seems dumb to have just 1 spot in a gas station with 2 other spots . But that's probably native game side.
  6. Yea I was responding to the the person that posted above me since it seems he thought you wanted that everywhere.
  7. ^ Well seeing as how all the truck stops and weigh-stations are on the Major Interstate's or Freeways it shouldn't be an issue. Don't believe he wants the gas stations in the middle of no where on a stretch of 2 line roads to be NCZ. Just the ones on Major roadways like I-5, I-10, I-15, I-80, Freeway 99.
  8. That's a good idea, I do agree that the message isn't very easily seen and should be somewhere in the center of your screen like the pop up saying you entered or left a city. If the mods can't agree to doing that then I would propose a different suggestion that ties in with this one. Why not make the afk kicker only kick people when the servers are near full population? That way if people are trying to join the afk kicker will clear out people that are afk for more than 5-10 minutes and make room for people to join. But if say the server is at 500/2000 people then the afk kicker is turned off and waits until the population reaches 90-95% capacity?
  9. How about this instead since some people don't like OP's suggestion. When you click drive the mod checks to see if there is any traffic around the point you will spawn into if it's a NCZ then it will spawn you in no questions asked. If the spot is not a NCZ it will make sure that there is no traffic around for at least 50m lets say and then it will spawn you. The distance of traffic could be changed if 50m is too short or long. If there is traffic near you then it will wait and recheck again until the traffic is cleared. I do think OP's idea is a good one for the record.
  10. ^That situation would depend on who has the right away on that road. If the way dainelcross2 was driving was in-fact the correct way then he had the right away and the other person was driving down the wrong way(which is against the rules). But we don't know that from the video do we? Which is my big problem there is no due diligence to see everything through. There is a lack of judgement that takes place. There are plenty of one way roads that the GPS will send drivers down the wrong way all the time. I've had it happen to me and the other driver wasn't slowing down or moving over so I moved onto the side and it wasn't dirt it was bumpy grass so I ended up taking some damage to my trailer. But I didn't report the guy, since he probably didn't know about the road being a one way road. I had the right away in that situation.
  11. ^ Can you really say moving down to 6 bans for perma has shown a down tick in bans in regards to when it was 10 bans before a perma? If not then what's the next step cut that number down to 3 and hope for better results? Clearly the steps taken by management haven't worked and have led to having a growing discontent from the player base and to also players being targeted by other members in the community to get them banned and get rid of them. Puncake is still banned for something that was very questionable and the ban appeal process doesn't seem to have done anything in that regard even with a lack of proof anymore. I saw the video before it was taken down and the fact he got banned for that is laughable.
  12. ^ So then you have no real driving skill then in avoiding stuff? Being an Ambulance driver doesn't mean your a good driver or know what to do. You don't only go into a ditch to avoid a head on but to avoid anything really that might bring you harm or you try to drive around the situation. You have to pick the outcome that is the safest for you and others. That can be said about trying to avoid anything. Now you've at least stated a type of driving you would find reckless, bravo we've made an advancement in your train of thought. There are situations that also happen that are out of your control and it doesn't matter how far back you are from the driver in front of you. Umm the rules are anything but flexible unless you haven't gone over the past bans which i doubt you have based off your argument of the rules. Also he's ban appeal was submitted a day after he was banned sooooo that makes your point moot. If you need to ask how you get targeted by players in a community then I can't help you there. Why should players be forced to record all of their gameplay for fear of the gestapo(players/admins) trying to incriminate them by any means that they can? No 6 isn't under the current ban, rule and punishment structure as shown by many people's past bans. Also under the current crop of admins as well since some of them seem to not understand context, and can judge situations clearly.
  13. The truth is not an insult, your line of thinking is very narrow minded and not open to ideas, since you think anyone is a reckless driver if they drive into a ditch regardless of the situation. I've been involved in 0 accidents in my 12 years of driving and 0 tickets as well. EMS training? As in like an EMT? That training doesn't get you ready for driving and the hazards that come with it. A lot of driving comes down to your skill as a driver to see the obstacles ahead of you and react to them accordingly. You have to be able to judge and make split second decisions about wither or not to speed up, brake, or turn to avoid accidents and other things that may come your way on the road. I've avoided many accidents from reacting correctly and seeing how the other drivers around me are acting, I didn't take a class for this. That kind of skill is picked up on your own and not everyone can do it. Your response "why not make your own mod" is so arrogant it's not even funny. There are many reason's why some people probably don't try and make their own mod, I can think of a few that if said won't be taken fondly here. It seems the admins are afraid to say they messed up or that a ban was incorrect. Puncake's ban is still being upheld even though there is a lack of evidence now since the video is gone, and now it's being based solely on history alone. This is incorrect and if there is no evidence to show that he should stayed banned then it should be over turned and he should be unbanned. But this is not the case since the powers to be are narrow-minded as well. Oh and also he's being unfairly targeted and harassed by players to get him perma banned. So it shows a lot of about the community. I think people should be given plenty of chances, seeing as how the mods lack proper training, they lack proper judgement skills, there is a lack of proper punishment procedure, the rules are very ambiguous and open to interruption.
  14. ^ Again if he had the right of way then he's not blocking. If we want to ban for blocking then both players would have needed to be banned then and not just one. But the mods can't seem to dish out punishments correctly so *shrugs*. It clearly doesn't show that he's on the wrong side of the road though. We don't see any markings nearby that show he's going the wrong way. All I see proof of is two drivers not being able to come to an understanding and one of them letting the other through first.
  15. ^ Only problem is that ban is highly questionable and there does need to be a new banning process and many of the examples highlight and show that it is needed.
