+ banned for abuse and poor attitude? (Unban Request Granted by BP)

[[TC]►BP◄]

Hi Astraxan,

First of all, I understand that it is very annoying when players break the rules. However, there are ways in which to deal with such users. I would generally recommend reading the following page: https://world.city-driving.co.uk/?page=m...lebreakers

Don't worry - this ban is nothing to do with your !report against Shelby (v i n z). Having checked the replay, I have no problems with your use of !report there. In this case, I believe no further action is needed against Shelby.

The below shows why you were banned. All of the below instances occurred on 23 November 2022.

Issue 1:
This is in relation to the above incident, however nothing to do with your usage of !report against Shelby (v i n z).

You asked your pursuing cop to !report the user who seemed to have ignored sirens. Please refrain from asking other players to !report for you. Players are not obliged to use the !report function, and should decide for themselves when a !report is needed - without undue pressure from other players.

However, the main issue in this situation is that you proceeded to report that cop for not fulfilling that request. Also, when reporting the cop, you checked the "Ignoring sirens" box. The cop did not break any rules, including ignoring sirens. This raised the cop's warning level and could have contributed to a card. This is a clear false report.

Your usage of !report has been mentioned to you before, in the form of an on-screen warning. The text was "Make sure your !reports are fair and necessary". Furthermore, the !report dialog is fairly clear:



Issue 2:
You told a user "go dont be a qussy" (in this case, clearly meaning "pussy"). This is against the following rule:

Server Rules Wrote:1.1. Respect other players.
Do not harass or abuse other players. They may be new to the game and not know the track or customs - help them, do not insult them. Always be aware other drivers may act unpredictably.

Issue 3:
You were having a disagreement with another user, and you said "dude, you are a rude boy" and "in normal circumstances you would need an abulance". My main issue is with the second message. This is a really unpleasant message to send to someone. This is against rule 1.1. again.

Issue 4:
You said "im watching ur driving skills... no wonder why u fcked my effort". Please do not swear (even if you remove a letter or two from the word). This is against the following rule:

Server Rules Wrote:1.7. Use proper language at all times.
Swearing, insults, racism, abuse and otherwise offensive language is not tolerated in our servers. Insulting gestures (ie "middle finger") or graphical characters will be treated like written in plain text. That includes the use of substitution characters in swearwords.
Please be advised that racism in particular is very harshly looked upon.
Note: The most serious swearwords are auto-fined by the system, but this is only a warning. You may still get banned in case of repeated violations.

---

I understand that some users may have bad days, but we have consistently seen poor chat-related conduct from you over the past months. You have previously received numerous action for insulting and a general bad attitude. I really hope you can acknowledge that sometimes the messages you send in the chat are not suitable here.

If you have any questions, please let me know.

All the best,
BP
