Honestly I didn't go there to get angry, I got angry when I was driven into repeatedly by a driver, and then nearly taken out by another driver who decided to reverse across the track in one race. Then in the next race driven into by one of the leading drivers, then cut up by someone called Boklau who then tried to act all innocent and victimised.

I did, and was quite dissapointed when nothing happened, then again I shouldn't have been suprised as I've been on your server many times before and it seems to take 3 or 4 races of crashing before a bad driver finally gets pulled up, if at all.

A situation which could easily be avoided if there were more admins, 'limads' (if you have any of them).

So you run it badly, In my opinion you obviously have too few admins to manage a grid of such a large size, speaking of which, the grid on the server is far too large for a public server with standing starts. Not everyone has wheels and powerful computers and so large grids cause low frame rates and therefore more accidents.

I think you'll find I'm part of a minority that bothers to speak up about these problems, rather than simply put up with being crashed out of every race.

You are lucky to have just about the only popular GTR server in LFS at the moment, and it does harm to LFS's reputation when people go online to a big server and can't get beyond the first lap without being driven into. I only go on your server because there isn't much else to chose from, hence why I take the time to complain rather than simply going somewhere else.

Also bear in mind that everything may seem rosy for you when you're in the top 2 rows of the grid, but there always seems to be at least 2 or 3 drivers causing chaos almost unchecked behind that.

So I suggest you sort it out for the good of everyone, give some trusted regular drivers admin powers and cut 5 or 6 cars off the grid size for christs sake.

Just go to one of those un adminned demo servers with no vote ban, and you'll see how important good admining is for keeping servers clean.

Well I certainly don't remember ever...

- Reversing across a track infront of oncoming cars
- Deliberately moving over on a passing car in a braking zone, causing an accident and then trying to pass the blame.

Both of which happened on your server this evening, if you didn't notice.

I wasn't awesome from day one, but I did do some proper practising offline before going anwhere near the servers, just to make sure I could keep something like control without causing yellow flags every lap and getting in everyone's way. And anyone with any sense should do the same.

Of course I cause accidents occasionally, but I will always apologise If I am in the wrong. A lot of crashes are caused deliberately (as in the case of the crash that got me banned), or by gross negligence (such as reversing onto the track, or not checking your mirrors before making a mauver), these are avoidable accidents and they just aren't acceptable anywhere.

I don't expect everyone to be awesome and never cause accidents ever, but there should be at least some kind of standards expected of people, and you really should be doing more to make sure people aren't on your server who don't meet them.

Why the hell didn't you deal with him sooner then?!

Of course people make mistakes, especially when they're new, but some mistakes are so pathetic that not even a begginer should be making them, such as drivers not being aware of their surroundings at all.

He was dealt with before , and the length of his ban has increased again !!!!

Well 5haz (J.Shaw) , i obviously can't stop people being pathetic or a beginner , i also can't make them aware of there surroundings (otherwise i would change my name to god) ... i've explained wot happens when we see problems , or if people take the time to tell us either on the server or on this forum in the abuser reports .

You can remove them from the server so they don't pose a problem however.

Any maybe, just maybe they'll get the message if they keep getting banned.

I don't understand why u still feel the need to go on about this , Chop and myself have said how we run our servers so thats it tbh ... u can post here all u like but it aint gonna make me or the other admins change the way we run our servers , if u want to use our servers again then your more than welcome ... if not then OK , nothing more for me to say .

As u have added this i will just answer it . if u took the time to read my previous post properly u would have noticed that this is exactly wot happens , as his ban HAS increased again ! which means yes hes been banned before ... and no he hasn't learned his lesson ......... YET !
