Callum. Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 It does depend on the situation, its very hard to see whether it was intentional or not, I always record my game, so if I do get rammed (or any other situation such as blocked, trolled, etc), I clip it then once I exit the game, I review my footage from each situation and decide whether it was intentional or not. Watching it happen a few times often help with deciding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCreepyTruckr Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 If the collision was preventable, I will report them even if it was an accident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheltie Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 Nope, even it was oreventable. Because if you know even a little about irl trucking you know accidents happen all the time and we all do stuff that is preventable on the road and might result in an accident.

Talwinter Posted October 21, 2019 Author Share Posted October 21, 2019 I'm really glad to see that most of you take the time to review a ramming situation before reporting it. We all makes mistakes some time and it part of a good comunity not to punish somebody for an accident Thanks for alll this positive answers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Night Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 When it comes to reporting, if i get a head on they will be reported, if someone bumps my truck from behind or the side but does no damage then I won't report. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy Suter Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 This is one of those threads that pops up every few months or so. My response would be, a) if its been intentional ramming/blocking etc, then 100% every time. b) If its accidental but due to someone being a total dick and treating the game like need for speed, then yes, I will report. c) If its accidental but caused by just misreading the road or traffic or lag, then no I don’t report. You can usually tell which it is as you see them approach. Yesterday in Iceland it was nearly all ‘B’s. People overtaking where they shouldn’t and couldn’t, people getting impatient with blockages caused by other type B drivers or people just approaching you at max speed on the narrow roads, or cutting corners out of junctions instead of swinging round to keep the trailer on there side of the road. In short I noticed the drivers who drove with courtesy and just wished we could have a server filled with these type of drivers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For 3 days of playing there (mostly on Iceland), i had no accidents at all, while on SIM1 server, every day ends up with many reports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glөbetrөtter Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 It depends on the outcome after the accident and it may vary, it depends on the person and behavior before and after what happened. There are factors to consider and I don't have a specific rule of behavior and action to take. I will take it according to each situation. Regardless of whether or not they apologize, but apologizing can ease the tension of the moment for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaverickTD Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Nope, accidents happen. Most of the time you'll get a "Sorry," sometimes they don't. As long as they make an attempt not to hit me, or it happens in traffic, I ignore it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_District_Dad Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 I generally don't report ramming, but if it's intentional and they are just trying to damage me, then I will report. It's hard to judge unintentional with intentional sometimes, so it's with discretion that I will or will not report. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jas. Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Used to have this happen quite often in the UK where players would often forget they are to drive on the left side of the road rather than the right and would ram right into me. I personally would never make anything of it, just a simple mistake! Can usually tell when someone is acting maliciously or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Community Manager Purrie Posted October 24, 2019 Community Manager Share Posted October 24, 2019 I don't report when I feel it was not reckless behavior but a mistake. So that really depends on the situation. I am not free of making mistakes either so I hope when I make a mistake nobody reports me Also if they apologize when obviously it was intentional I report them either way.

Interstate Nomad Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 Sometimes I find it very difficult to decide if an incident was caused by lack of situational awareness or intentionally. This is why I record my multiplayer sessions and examine every incident very carefully. Eventually, I will report all incidents that I regard as intentionally caused. In a second step, it is then up to a moderator to agree or disagree with my decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Space Night Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 the guy at 52m40s, Breedeaa, yes he was coming in a little too quick but not excessively fast, Id estimate probably 70km/h but as his trailer started to lean he didn't want to yank it across so had no option other than to ride it out. he said Sorry, situation dealt with.

Fezz Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 Depends if it's an accidental love tap or a full on ram. If it's a love tap, I just ask that they take better care next time but if it's a full on RAM, then I would get them banned if they did something stupid to cause it.

Dunchin Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 That depends on the situation. If it was a minor accident, it's not a big deal. But if it's a straight up collusion, a ban will be waiting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuffinit G Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 Just yesterday on halloween I hit someone head on because my game decided to tab out. I am english and they were russian so I just said it was a windows update but they still said they are reporting me because of no proof. Idk if they actually are though but I hope not.

[WT] Bingo [CH] Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 I I only report the player if I am affected by his driving behavior or if I feel annoyed because of that. Because honestly, I don't have time to always create a video clip, upload it and submit a report. Also it is not my job to play "sheriff's assistant". Game Moderators are doing a great job, therefore I only use the report function when the player collided with me. As I am always recording (for self defending reasons) it may happen, that when I need to report someone and I see that I've recorded another offence in my video, I will report it too, as it doesn't need more effort.

Brenbear87 Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 I personally do not, because if say their game freezes or something there's nothing that they can do about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LetiFreshi Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 Well, I'd say it depends on how "dumb" they rammed you. If it was just like a little hit I don't really care but if someone does something which has been really stupid I do actually think on reporting them, even though they might not have hit me on purpose.

MythicalNightfall Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 To be honest, I don’t really report an the reason for this is because 1, 9 times out of 10, it’ll be someone of a young age just trying to Have some fun however I would inform a game moderator to check it out.,and secondly, if it didn’t cause harm then I don’t see a reason to, also because recording takes up a lot of time, computer GPU and CPU. As well as lagging you ruining your experience just because you need to catch people hitting you, intentionally or unintentionally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FernandoCR [ESP] Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 I can only consider "unintentional" ramming when the player's control breaks for whatever reason. Imagine you are driving your vehicle, your wheel/joystick/keyboard/mouse disconnects for a power loss and ram someone. That's unintentional. But all others... "It was an accident, I didn't mean to hit that other truck", but they were going full speed on a tight turn... To me, that's intentional. Nobody forces players to go fast, to run red lights, to switch lanes without looking, etc. It's their choice. Truth is, I'm reporting a lot less players than I used to, but only because with the reduced speed limits in the simulation servers, it's easier for them to keep control and easier for me to avoid most crashes. But if someone damages my cargo... You can bet that they will be reported. And seeing my "log", most likely banned. If the incident was caused by a HW glitch, they can always appeal and try to get the ban removed. Even if they don't succeed, it would be just that ban, they will make sure that their HW is fixed before going back and since they never had the intention, it would most likely not happen again, so no big deal IMO.

Mr.Drexy Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 Hello After all, everyone gives money to this game and I can't report anyone when it's not intentional.That would be unfair. Kind Regards Drexy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
