make banned players take the driving academy before re joining the TMP servers

[Guest KaylaMcTear]

Suggestion Name: make banned players take the driving academy before re joining the TMP servers  

Suggestion Description: As you all will know SCS released the driving academy to both ETS2 & ATS. I think it would be a great idea if TMP made players whom have been for x amount of days have to complete the driving academy before they return to the main servers. 

Any example images: https://ibb.co/801CFW4 for example but I was thinking that when you try to join any TMP server when you are banned you get a pop up telling you are banned for x amount of days. I feel a bit of extra text could be added to signify that to re join our servers please complete the driving academy  

Why it should be added: I feel TMP should some how make this happen as I feel it would make players behave instead of causing issues with other players. I also feel this might help with people whom like to have several accounts that they can hop on to. Mainly to ban evade if TMP are to impermeant this I don't think it would deter people to make new accounts but I feel it may help with people whom don't care about being banned from the servers. I generally feel the punishment system isn't strict enough for these type of players and blocking them from returning straight back to the game after they've had a ban and the only way they could return after the ban is by completing the driving academy.

 

What are peoples opinions on this? I have mentioned it to one admin and they agree it would be nice to have this feature

I absolutely agree with you!

i was thinking the same thing but instead of the driver academy the players have to go through as driving test with a truckersmp examiner

I like your suggestion. With the introduction of the Driving Academy we have the best means yet to sort out mean-spirited players.
 

However, it is not taking into account that a great number of trolls don't wait for their ban to expire before rejoining the servers.

They have countless game keys in their drawers waiting to be used to evade any ban. Additionally, we'd still have to deal with any and all first-time offenders.
So, I feel that an even better way to create a roadblock for trolls lies in
 

making the successful completion of the Driving Academy a requirement for ALL accounts
 

before joining a server. Just like when a new set of rules gets passed and the system checks whether the user has read (scrolled through...) the rules,
the system could implement a check for the Steam achievement "Dedicated Student" or whichever more challenging (and time-consuming) achievement will be introduced for future
chapters of the Driving Academy.

For, let's be honest: the trolls lack both skill and patience, and making those a requirement could really deter them from wanting to engage in their malicious activities in this game.

They will just look for an easier game with no entry requirements.

 

Also, I don't think it would be quite possible to implement different requirements for playing for different groups of users (no Driving Academy required for players in good standing,
Driving Academy for banned players). I think for various reasons (practicability, transparency, equality, etc.) the requirement should be identical for ALL users.

This sounds like a massive waste of time, just because someone makes it through the academy or some other type of verification process, doesn't mean that they won't mess around on the servers. 

 

There's absolutely nothing stopping you from driving recklessly on the server whenever you get bored. It's just a game, let people have fun, if they break the rules then they get banned.

Hello KaylaMcTear,

 

Thanks for your suggestion! It's a nice idea, however the Driving Academy mostly teaches maneuvers in tight environment and parking. This is nothing to help with behaving around other vehicles, for example safely overtaking. Therefore, the Driving Academy in its current form wouldn't be of much help to teach against rule breaking.

 

For this reason, we will decline your suggestion. Please note that we are committed to effective moderation and continuously work to improve the quality of in-game moderation.

 

Thanks for your understanding!
