Punishment for WW crashes

[KooKoo]

Here’s my take;


After considering the potential implementation of a system to reliably identify and punish individuals responsible for wrong-way crashes, introducing such a system is unnecessary at this time. Here's why:

1. The current system or “culture” encourages players to resolve issues amongst themselves. When a crash occurs, players can offer compensation via !sorry or apologize or both. This helps in fostering a cooperative and respectful environment.

2. For more persistent or severe issues, the !report feature allows players to bring matters to the attention of the admin team and places a note on their URS. This ensures that any repeat offenders or particularly disruptive behavior is addressed appropriately. To add on that, there’s also a “User Report” section in the forums for serious violations.

3. Recently, there has been a notable increase in admin activity, which ensures that any serious incidents are promptly managed. This presence itself acts as a deterrent for those who violate the rules.

4. We already have a comprehensive set of rules and punishments in place for suspects in chase, cops in chase, and all other players.

5. Cops play a crucial role in TC and it is one of the most important and entertaining aspect of the server, that is to maintain order by chasing and fining players who violate non-serious traffic rules and serious traffic rules which violate important server rules, including wrong-way driving and intentional crashing. These violations should be more heavily penalized or even added to the URS, reflecting that the player has been fined for such offenses. This is a power already within the cops ability, but leveraging it will perhaps effectively enforce important server standards you wish to achieve by these “auto” mechanisms. (It’s true, AI is stealing our jobs even in TC)
