Returning Players After a Ban

Suggestion Name: Returning Players After a Ban

Suggestion Description: I've noticed that a recurring issue is that many players have three or more active bans, and once their ban expires, they continue driving on the C-D road without changing their behavior at all. My idea is that when a player's ban expires, they should only be allowed to connect to the Arcade server for a certain period, depending on the number of active bans they have. For example, after a 1-month ban, the player would only be able to connect to the Arcade server for an additional 1 month. If they choose not to play during this period, that’s fine, but at least they won’t be driving on the Simulation 1 server, reducing the chances of receiving another ban. I am well aware that my idea won't be popular with a small percentage of players, especially those whom this rule would directly affect. However, on the Arcade server, players can still drive together with friends and company members, while ensuring that they can't cause harm to others.

Any example images: N/A

Why should it be added?: With this idea, I believe the Arcade server's traffic would increase significantly, as players would still get the same gameplay experience as on the Simulation 1 server, but without the ability to cause harm to other players.

I would prefer them to prove they can complete Driving Academy.

 

The problem with this suggestion, they don't learn. And the higher active bans proves it. There's also an age difference and not caring about the rules of the road.

You can give them every tutorial, and teach them every possible method to make them good. The problem is, they just won't learn or bother to change and then complain when their next ban comes in.

You could also not constantly drive up and down the c-d...?
There's so much more map to explore, and very much more enjoyable to drive.
Trolls and noobs will always find trouble on the c-d, the more people that avoid the area and explore more of the map, the better it is for everyone!

i like this idea it seems a ban means nothing and they still continue to ruin i am with you on this idea

I really liked your idea but I would like to improve it.

I think it would be better if there was a limit for the Simulation 1 server. For example, if a player has less than X active bans the player will not be able to join Simulation 1 and ProMods for Y month(s) but will be able to join Simulation 2. However, if a player has more than X active bans the player will not be able to join Simulation 1, Simulation 2 and ProMods servers for Z month(s).

What do you think?

A system that completely bans players for serious offenses such as intentional trolling, racism, severe insults, and deliberate crashes is the best approach, and I do not agree with considering any alternative system for these cases.

However, for players who receive bans due to accidental collisions, traffic violations, etc., an Arcade server would be a better solution. Additionally, a Rehabilitation server could be introduced.

Instead of focusing purely on punishment, this server could provide educational content, helping players learn all the rules and details of multiplayer gameplay. Guides and mentors could assist players in understanding proper driving etiquette, improving their behavior before rejoining the main servers.

The only way to learn is to not be able to play/drive on it or any of the vanilla map locations. Instead require from them to buy the DLC maps. When cash is involved, people tend to obey the rules.

I do agree there is a huge number of players that honestly couldn’t care if they get banned and they go online get banned then return to just get banned again. I’ve previously made suggestions regarding this, limiting the access to Eva arcade or simulation two but again suggestions like this have been rejected with the response  “They have served the length of the original ban but restricting their access to punish them further is not something we are looking to implement” 

 

They’ve also been many other suggestions about having a rear realistic simulation serger or Car free server, but again everything gets rejected.

 

It is actually sad that TMP seems to care more about car users and people who continuously get banned over realistic truck drivers. I do feel like they need to seriously we think their strategy otherwise they are going to lose a lot of people to SCS convoy Mode
