Wow, so I was just reading about a couple T10’s running in races and policing a bit and lo and behold I think I found one of the culprits…

[II_Rich_44_II]

Jonks a good guy, I’ve raced with him and heard him chatting with other people in the lobbies, it seems to me like the majority of us, he wants to clean the lobbies up. So you’ve obviously done something to get banned, and fair play to Jonk for doing it. I can’t see him banning people for no reason.

I’ll reply since my name was brought up. I was cruising some hoppers last night actively racing but I also keep an eye out for the wreckers. One thing to keep in mind is that the majority of crashes are from lesser skilled players. Yes there are those that want to mess around and ruin other’s races. I did throw some guys out last night. For those wondering, they earned their bans over multiple races or seeing them intentionally wait for players. Surprisingly though a few were guys on teams. So I’m going to address that. Team guys are kinda the stewards of online racing, you guys should be setting the clean racing example not teaching the lesser skilled players to take people out in retaliation. On top of that at that skill level, you have the ability more than most to drive out of most normal collisions and at the very least make ground back up to the front. You guys/girls need to talk it out, own up to a collision if it was yours.

There are 1st, 2nd, and 3rd offenses for Bans. You will see the players that got dinged last night again. I hope they will race cleaner once their ban is lifted.

Cheers and race clean! It’s more fun!

To follow Triton’s comments, we’re pretty thorough when determining whether an incident was intentional, accidental, by a n00b losing control, or by a skilled player or team seeking retaliation. This is why shared replays are the best way to report an incident. Sometimes, the replay clearly shows bad behavior by a crasher. Other times, simply reviewing the replay yourself can reveal how it all began, and you might be surprised to see it was not what you thought it was.

Like Triton, I’ve reached out to several team leaders to remind their players that retaliation is not acceptable - ever. In more than one case, it was clear they were retaliating as a group against a player who accidentally hit one of their teammates - the replay showed pretty conclusively it was an accident. Retaliation just escalates things, and gets other players caught in the middle.

Another form of retaliation I’ve seen is a player purposefully hanging back to wreck a corner cutter he was angry with, then complaining to me that the corner cutter should be banned when in fact what he did could earn him a ban, too.

If you cause a wreck, let the player you wrecked pass you, even if it means you fall all the way to the back of the pack, and if you can, apologize to them in chat or in a Live message.

Keep it clean, folks, and take the high road. A clean pass is the best revenge!

Then race clean. Obviously your hit was more than just a minor or unavoidable racing incident. They don’t ban people for uncalled for reasons.

Play the game as it was meant to be played. Drive the cars as if you were broke and couldn’t afford repairs.

AWESOME. Jonk for President.

[GamerBlades]

hahah lmao xD

[WindsweptDragon]

Jonk wins a gold star and a free doughnut from the canteen at lunch.

[OldSchool_2O4F]

Heck with that, Jonk gets to drive the pace car…

[ERT_EVERCOOL56]

Lol… great news and solid advice here gang!

[four_cam_tbird]

Good riddance to you, OP. I’m sure there’s more to what you were doing in the lobby than incidental contact.

[Sleestak714]

How bogus you can’t troll and harass the general community as you see fit. Ruining everyone else’s good time is a right your mom afforded you when she paid good money so you could have this game. Maybe you can fire up the Playstation she bought you and troll over there until your Xbox ban is lifted.

[desrtfox071]

If only the ban extended to the forums as well.

[o_Mike_V_o]

Yeah, crashing a dev is probably not the smartest idea.

@o_Mike_V_o

Yeah, crashing a dev is probably not the smartest idea.

Calling him out on the forums even smarter…naming your buddy/accomplice…priceless…

[Outlier]

Thank you Jonk!

There’s a lot a great crashing games out there. Thank you Jonk for not letting Forza become one of them.

OP - try out GTA for that kind of racing.

So you get banned from driving and then get on a public forum and type in words that are not appropriate so that the moderators have to ban the words too. I thought I was looking at some Top Secret messages that were “Redacted” for public viewing.

[four_cam_tbird]

I’m glad the ban from racing didn’t include a ban from the forums at the same time. This is gold.
