Why not use Yellow and Red Cards Becky Failing that just Sin Bin the Blighter and Take 10
Quote :Funny if you are talking about you and your PC. Does it have a name also

When the system goes live be sure to check out the $credits command, i'm far from the only person involved. At some points yesterday we had 6 people working on the system and helping to move it forward. Yes i'm responsible for the vast bulk of the system, but I cant and dont do it alone.

EDIT: My PC is called GX. I called it that because I work for an Apple based company who at the time had G5's - I called my PC GX as in G10 - because I figured it would take Apple 5 more generations to catch up .

The thing that seperated the STCC servers and the thing that we hope seperates the CTRA servers when they arrive is our back end administration system, whilst we cant guarantee clean racing, we do our best to keep detailed notes of drivers who frequently are not clean and educate them, and failing that boot them.

Yes when you simplify it yellow and red cars is exactly what we do - but doing this effectively and fairly is not a case of adminning from the drivers seat, we had a good system before that worked reasonably well - now we want a better system. Like all aspects of the new CTRA servers, it'll be bigger and better and simple & easy to use.

We're different from most servers because we put a lot of effort into trying to encourage clean racing rather than hoping for it and typing in /ban when we've been taken out ourselves.

Quote from dungbeetle :Just an idea here regarding reporting incidents.

It might not be practical to implement, but here goes.

A possible way to prevent 'snap' reporting on every incident but still keep a 'tally' in case things get worse and need reporting.

How about if you can click to 'store' incidents during a race without actually submitting them there and then. At the end of the race and/or session, you can then reflect upon / review how things went during and after the incident(s) to see if it really does warrant a report?

For example, a typical scenario might be:

At some point in the race you get clobbered. You're not REALLY sure if they're being nasty or if it was a genuine mistake. So, you hit 'store incident' quickly and carry on with the race.

Later on, either at the end of the race or after a few more races, either:

1. All goes well after the initial clash and it was clearly a whoopsy. After a quick chat and a sorry, there are no hard feelings, so you delete the stored incident as there's no need to report anyone.

BUT it was worth storing it just in case, because:

2. This person is a real pain and continues to ram people intentionally. After a couple of more races there are three more 'stored incidences' that occured, so you decide to report.

sorry abut this it has noting to do wit the topic but ur avatar is just unreal made me rofl

It's news to me too, I do live in the Fens though, but I live in Cambs. Thankfully i'm not a yokel, being of Hertfordshire origin and Welsh-Irish descent. Basically, i'm "British" rather than English, and definitely not a particularly slow talking tractor driving sect of the English, like Tristan and Jack.

Look, you left a blank page up with the text "UKCT Ownzorz", if anyone is in the dog house, it's youzorz! I had to do something so that people didn't mistake all this work for a, and I quote, "carear mode", Mr Hopkinson.
ah so your a person who says "can i have a pint a guiness boyo"

lol
