TheCreepyTruckr Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Honestly I think ban times should be increased. First offence should be a week, second offence a month, third offence can be 3 months, 4th offence can be a 6 month ban, with the 5th being permanent. If you can't figure out what you did wrong and improve your gameplay in that time frame, I don't think you should be playing multiplayer to begin with.

RodiM Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 Sincerely I think the time of the bans are just perfect, when you stay like 2 or 3 days away (For the first bans) you really think on what you are doing, and you will probably correct yourself.

Guest Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 I completely understand your thinking here, and if I'm honest I agreed partially. However, in my opinion, I think that bans should be increased in time and how quickly things escalate because I believe that 95% of people who are banned is either due to negligence, recklessness and pure stupidity, all of which are choices, not accidents. If people see that you will be banned for longer, that further acts as a deterrent to drive safely and think through every decision you make.

TruckerJ Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 I brought this topic up a few days a go. From what, I found was that there was a good length of ban but I think that it is bad that you have to wait for a year to apply for staff again .

~ Xris Aurora ~ Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Why does it have to be decreased, just because some or lots of people obviously don't care about following the set of rules and aren't even trying to be good and responsible players? Mistakes happen anyway, but that's why there's a limit of bannable mistakes you can do and it's set to maximum of 6. If someone exceeds that limit of penalties, probably the best solution is to keep him/her away from TMP, wouldn't you agree with that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
^China^~Lao Liu loves Pep Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 A ban should be added to let the players know the duration of the ban is very serious so that the players all drive regularly. Because some players don't care about the rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrummiCat Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 From my personal experience bans should not necessarily be shortened but be chosen with more thought. also the arbitrariness in the duration should be abolished. usually a kick is enough to calm down the precocious. in case of a new offense then surely a ban should take place.

Azuly Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 Punishment should be harsher, I see trolls only getting 3 day-bans and It really does make me sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen a player get banned for a week for clipping someone during a turn, yet I've seen a player blocking and ramming traffic (20+ players), only for the admin to ban him for a couple days. I feel that the bans should go 1 month, 2 months, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, and the final being a permanent ban. We aren't paying to use TMP, we don't have an automatic right or privilege to use the multiplayer mod, the mods/devs have been kind enough to allow us to use their creation provided we follow their rules. I feel that anyone that would be complaining about long ban times would probably be the users that are getting banned multiple times a year already. (Personal opinion: Honestly, I have no sympathy for them. Play single player if you're learning to drive, and if you just want to be a troll, go play a different game.)

Guest Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 I think ban times at the moment are okay, if you are banned because of an accident you can appeal the ban and if that doesn’t succeed you can ask a higher up to review the case.

SalePro Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 I dont think that they should be decreased, they are just right. Btw it's funny how intentional trolls get here after receiving permanent ban and pray for unban Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Tomukas- Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 Hello There, In my opinion, the penalty times in the moment are fine because if the penalty times are shortened, the people who do a lot of trolling will have more negative incidents because they don't care about anything, and that would really be a big bad nightmare.

Guest Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 Having a clean record to become staff is really important because you become an example on how othe rplayers should be. You are the one representing TruckersMP. Therefore a 1 year clean record is good enough as it has given you enough time to change your attitudes and adapt / practice on how you should act among other players.

MrNoseyBonk Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 I personally think that not only should the ban times be increased overall but the consistency should be sorted out as well. I have noticed that people are getting banned for very similar situations but with very different consequences (I am not referring to the history dictating the ban time, I am aware of that, I'm talking about first-time offenders). TruckersMP is not a driving school, decreasing the time in which we prohibit a certain user will just encourage them to continue to break the rules due to a lack of deterrent. Too long a ban may put them off the community altogether, especially if the reason for being banned was an accident. So a middle ground needs to be found, which is another reason why I also think that there should be a set amount of time for a certain situation, as opposed to giving free rein as to what ban can be imposed in what situation as from what I have seen the ban times are very inconsistent.

Honestly I'd like to see ban's start at a week time and increase from there. If a week is too long for some of these players, I doubt they'd stick around anyways if they got banned.

Leon Baker Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 Instead of making less ban period they should make it longer because as we see from experience, people are getting banned for 3 times for 3 days - 7 days but they still continue breaking rules, so that means that players are just having fun and they're not playing this game for serious. I really don't understand how you need to drive to get 6 bans just in 1 year and then writing on the forum "unban admen pleez, admins don't do their job, admins are bad" and different bs like that happens exactly every day here. The problem with punishment system have only that players, who are breaking rules because If you're not breaking rules you should not even care about that. I personally would change make two versions of punishment, in-game ban or chat/CB ban. For example, If someone is insulting or abusing CB, he will get a chat and CB ban and If someone is breaking in-game rules like reckless driving, ramming, blocking and etc. he'll get the in-game ban, so he can't play the game. That system works perfectly in other games and I hope one day they'll do same here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSirViking Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 I can see why you would want this sort of thing from looking at your TMP profile. I really would not want a change to the current system. It works very well. If you end up with a month or 3 month ban you are clearly not driving well. I know people who have been driving on here for years and never have they had a single ban. It is not that hard to do. Like if you drive on the CD road then just dont overtake and keep distance to the truck in front of you, and you should never have any trouble. If someone rams you then you record them at report them. Lots of CD accidents happens because people cant take it slowly, so they end up overtaking and ramming oncoming traffic. Or they drive 130-150km/h down CD road and end up ramming someone. if you drive CD road just take it easy. If you cant do that, then dont drive on the CD road, and dont complain if you get banned from it then. Quote Moreover by banning a new player he might leave simply the game and never come back.. but if he comeback he will need to learn again how to drive after that month of inactivity Why would they need to learn again? Its a trucking game. You drive around. You dont forget how to drive this game, its pretty simple. Quote Most importantly accident are happening everytime to everyone, if you play for days like a pro but just at one moment you did someting wrong why are you banned ? The most of the time you are a good player, no one care about you but when you do an accident you are banned directly Now us moderators are humans, and we can see when accidents happen. But if you overtake on the CD road and ram someone from it, its clearly not an accident since you could have just not overtaken on that road. And when you drive this game you should focus on it. Dont drive around looking on facebook on your phone and what not. And most people dont have 4 or 5 accidents in a row. Quote if we ban people for month the game will be empty Empty? TMP is bigger than it has ever been. Even with all the people permanently banned we still grow. Quote We need to accept that the game is a GAME not a strict real life simulator, if it was that no one would love to play, if we play here and go to C-D road for exemple this is to play with players, we all know there is accidents here and we go there for that, we all want to be surprised, and this is what make the game funny Sure it is just a game. But that dosent mean you cant drive it normally. That dosent mean you have the right to drive like you want to. It is still a simulator game. If you want to drive crazy there is lots of other MP games for that. And why should you expect accidents when you drive down CD road? If people just took it easy there would be no accidents on that road. Its because people cant wait in line and wants to drive 150km/h that the accidents happens, and then its not accidents anymore. Quote he will do a small mistake, he was at 130km/h and he caused a small accident and he blocked few players for like 3 minutes... Driving 130/kmh in a truck is no longer an accident. Its Reckless Driving. And blocking for 3 minutes? Why would he? He can F7+enter. That takes seconds to do. Quote Please, for the TruckersMP community, banning people this long isn't usefull, it will never stop me to do accident sometime, i will always ram into a player 3 times a week, and i do not want to be banned just for this when you see that at the end i am a pretty good trucker, Why will it not stop you from having "accidents"? As i said i know people who have never been banned or have only been banned once, and they have been playing here for years. Its not that hard to do. If you ram people 3 times a week you are not a very good trucker sorry to say, Not when there is people that never ram someone. So all in all i feel we have a pretty good system here. And that we do not need to change it. The system is trying to either tell people that they need to change the way they are driving or to get them off mp since they cant learn.

Batslav Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 How exactly will anyone forget how to drive if they are banned? The game is made for SP and it works perfectly without MP. The only positive effect of shorter bans will be to reach the permanent one sooner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chev Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 The time for bans seem very reasonable and fair to me. I don’t see a need to change anything with the current system. My opinion, If you do something highly against the rules, you should be banned. If you can’t follow simple rules, don’t play multiplayer. If you “forget” how to drive, don’t even play a driving simulator. The only upside of shorter bans would be for those who get banned on a regular bases. Have a question? Feel free to message me.

Andreea RO Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 I don't think the ban time should be decreased. TMP has some rules the players should obey in order for them to play on the free platform. The bans are given due to the gravity of the things a player does. In my opinion, things are good the way they are now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichManSCTV Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 No, If people just come to troll and disrespect other users then ban times should not be shorter. Just play single player if you are bad at driving and want to improve. Do not ruin the game for others Subscribe to my Youtube Channel! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy Suter Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Ive not posted for a while as took a break from the game (stopped before 1.33) but back into it at the weekend and loving Beyond the Baltic When I first started, within 2 weeks I had an accident where some one pulled out on me and when I swerved to avoid him, I sandwiched a car traveling at max speed into the central barrier. He complained and I got banned for 3 days for ramming. I’d only been on the game for a couple weeks at that point and I did think about just walking away. But I stuck with it and then went through a phase of reporting anyone that did anything wrong as I felt that was how we did things. This weekend ive come back on with a clean head and ive had people ram me (by accident), drive the wrong way around roundabouts, block the road, convoys thinking they own the road, to name a few but I just sit back and let them get on with it before carrying on my own way, stress free. If I ever got banned for a week or two I would just uninstall the game. Its not worth the stress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trixicat Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Well, i think the the Ban times for people who did break the rules intentionally could be higher (starting with a week). But in the other hand the cooldown time could be faster depending on how much a Players plays the game. Its a difference if a player drives 8 hours a day or 3 hours per week. A player with 8 hours playtime is much more likely to accumulate bans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
