Rework of §2.8 - How bans are issued
After consideration, it was decided to remove permanent bans due to §2.8. We understand that people's behaviour and attitudes towards rules can change over time, so we want to give those who have made mistakes in the past another chance to drive on TruckersMP. Therefore, when a user has 5 active bans, they will now be banned for 90 days, rather than permanently. This gives players enough time to understand their mistake was serious, but also provides an opportunity for them to learn from the incident.
If you were permanently banned within the last 90 days, your ban will be modified to expire 90 days from the day it was issued. Any permanent §2.8 bans older than 90 days have been disabled, and therefore these users will be able to return to TruckersMP immediately.
TruckersMP opens up their streets again for players, who evidentially lack the ability of following their rules.
Frankly, this decision surprised me.
A player who failed five (or more) times to play by the rules doesn't seem to be a suitable candidate to do so after the sixth (seventh, eighth...) time. Don't get me wrong - nobody is perfect and everybody can make mistakes. But multiple times? The same mistake?
What alerts me is that with the return of the (former) permanently banned players comes an increased risk that innocent players will be the ones who suffer. Again.
The next weeks and months will reveal if the made decision is for the better or for the worse of TruckersMP.
