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. -
My general thought was to as you said, the major truck stops and parking areas along major highways where Convoys would likely meet. I was part of a Convoy at the El Centro Truck Stop. When I parked, my spot was open. About two hours later, before Convoy Start Time, I spawned in on top of two trucks, one of which was an Admin. Luckily, I was not banned.
Yea I was responding to the the person that posted above me since it seems he thought you wanted that everywhere.
-
^ 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.

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?
-
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.

^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.

^ 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.
-
^ 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.

I do drive quite a lot in real life.
Been involved in the grand total of two accidents in my 20+ years of driving.
One was a five car pileup, caused by the driver behind me failing to stop, when the rest of the traffic did.
Second one way my fault, for thinking my car wasn't so wide, thus scraping the side on a fence....
And I've managed that because I drive defensive (and have ems training ), and anticipate that the other drivers out there don't care too much about others.... (not saying that they don't care, just that I anticipate that they don't, and not being a mind reader, I have to expect that they do recless things in the traffic).
Though, this is getting quite out of hand....
I might sound like a broken record to you, as you do to me, and, as I stated earlier, I highly doubt we'll agree on this subject.
But, I would appreciate if you edit out your insult from your post
And, being that Im both a dyslexic, and not a native english speeker, I'd say I do quite well
Back on topicish :
If the system is so flawed, and you lot (well, some of you at least) don't trust the admin team, why haven't you made your own mod?
Just asking...
Though, I do agree that sometimes the admins do wrong, I've seen afew of those situations, and they also aren't too afraid to say so either, in my experience.
This got rather rambeling, so to end it
How many chanses do you think one should get?
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.

^ 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.
-
^ 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.
-
^ We are suggesting things and showing examples of why we need the said suggestions. Thanks for playing though.

You do realise you drive on the right side so you should of gone onto the dirt
That depends on who actually has the right of way on that road though. If it's a one way road that's going the same way he is then he has the right of way and the other traffic would have to give way. Their's a ton of roads like that and the gps will send you on them the wrong way.

i was banned for a month by rayray then sgt tailer bans me for 3 months for the same offence that rayray has already punished me for. DO YOU THINK I SHOULD HAVE BEEN BANNED FOR "intentional blocking" after all he could have just gone round so who am i blocking ???
that's a weak as hell ban lol. The admin for banning you and the admin that extended it should be ashamed of themselves. I wonder if the other player got banned for "blocking" also, probably not though since the mods are so inconsistent.
@heyhococo why shouldn't it? He fails to look at things logically and only see's it his way. He can't fathom that you have to go off road or into a ditch to avoid accidents. So I'll call him out on his faults. He's a broken record that repeats the same thing over and over again.

You can try again afther the first five, that's 5 ,bans. And that should be plenty of tries.
if you don't like the system, noone is forcing you to abey by the rules.... though you should be prepared to face the consequences of your actions.
It really is quite simple, if you drive reclessly, it migth get you in trouble.
and if you have to drive into the ditch you're driving reclessly.
Spoken like someone that doesn't drive in the real world or believes that their perfect and nothing wrong can ever happen.
So by your standards if an accident happens in front of you and the only way to avoid it is by driving off the road into a ditch to minimize damage to you and your vehicle then that's reckless right? Something is really messed up in your brain if you think that way.
Also helps your argument just a bit if you can spell things correctly just saying
-
^ I doubt many mods even kick or warn, they just simply move to straight ban to pad their ban counts to make it seem like their "active"
-
as i said, what follows the ban, is that you get to try again ( and again, and again....), til you've had 5 bans. then nothing follows the 6th ban....
Maybe if you stopped being a talking mouth for the mods and used logic you'd understand that the current ban process is flawed horribly and allows admins to ban for even the slightest thing they might find as breaking the rules. The rules and the banning process both need to be fixed in order to have a better system and retain your players. A good example is Puncake's last ban he got. He was going fast and went off road to avoid hitting another truck which is smart on his part. He got banned for "reckless" driving. I guess being smart and avoiding a collision is reckless, so what should he have just hit the other driver and then get a ban for ramming?
Most of the mods here are a joke and complain about having to spend extra time doing work as a mods, guess what that's your job as a mod to do work and put in the time. If you can't handle that or don't like it then stop being a mod and let someone else become one that actually wants to put in the time and effort.
It blows my mind that mods are complaining about having to do more work.

^ Only issue with your double yellow argument is that the Dev's for the game didn't do their homework and everything is a double yellow line
which is far from what it is in California and Nevada. You only see dashed yellow lines at intersections in this game. Which is dumb because that's not how it is. -

problem is, that's why some many people get banned so fast is because they don't read and remember the rules of the Mod.
I bet you no one remembers every single rule.

Seems a bit harsh to say that its only kids that don't know how to drive. I sometimes weave side to side in my lane when I'm bored of driving in a straight line for so long, but only if there i no traffic next to me as to not scare them.
-
^ Sounds like your HDD is failing if that's happening. Might want to backup your data and get a new one soon.
I had that same exact thing happen to me on ETS2 I had signaled moved into the left lane and was passing the player when all of sudden he turned into me. Was it intentional? I don't know, not much damage was done to either truck nor the cargo either. A lot of what we ran into in this game is the same thing we deal with on the road in the real world. You have drivers that don't signal for lane changes, they don't check their mirrors or blind spots either. So you can't see every time someone hits you its with malicious intent can you?
-
^ I'd be willing to bet that world wide there are more accidents than we have here in game by a large margin. A driving test won't do anything in keeping "bad" drivers off the road. Since they will drive to pass the test and then be on their merry way.
-
You know that still happens in the real word even with driving tests right? lol

^ How much space do you have on your HD? If space is an issue you can use dropbox or other services like that and their free to use. That way you can upload the video there for when you need to use it. I have a 1TB HD and its not even close to full with just games.As for the ramming and stuff, it happens man. I get hit a few times but 9 times out of 10 its a mistake and not a malicious act. Why should that player get banned for a very simple mistake that I have no issue with? It's part of driving people will make mistakes.
. But that's probably native game side.
