SR System

Administration can be a very difficult thing when people have no motivation of their own to behave the way you want them to do - People constantly pushing their luck, testing boundaries etc. There becomes this feeling that every second you don't administrate against someone testing their luck, you set a precedent that it's OK for the next person etc.

Also when you rely solely on administrators for people to behave, it also results in, well, surprise, more administration, people getting kicked, banned etc, this can result in losing valuable community members over time. People constantly making reports rather than solving problems amongst themselves. In the end as an admin I find you really want to be there to deal with problems that matter, not to be adult daycare.

In this regard I see why [TC] might want the SR system - It gives motivation to people to avoid collisions (even when a player feels righteous - eg. WW collisions) and therefor the only people they are likely to have to administrate are the people who come to [TC] and don't care about playing the game, earning cars etc so they just crash a lot, and those aren't really valuable people to lose when you have to eject/ban them anyway.

Whether the SR system in its current form is effective is another matter that I haven't had enough time with to comment on, but the general principle of giving players a motivation to avoid collisions of their own I can get behind.
