Some punishment to Corners Cutter

[PJTierney]

I agree with you that something needs to be done, but I doubt we’ll be able to convince Turn 10 to actually implement anything of the sort.

Heck, the community itself can’t even agree on the most effective method of punishing people that don’t play fairly and encouraging those that do, and is not likely to agree any time soon.

All I can suggest is that you yourself collate your ideas, post them in a wishlist thread and forward them to forzafb@ microsoft.com

It may not result in anything but it’s better than nothing.

If you need a head start here is what I wrote a few months ago:
