NFS-Shift GTP Racing League Season II

[SteveO1965]

Come on man sort it out we're online even the banned.
Mindwise you joining in? I sent you a PSN request.

I am swapping over to the slim give me 10 mins?

Indeed. And despite being so desperate to see his time end here - by reacting badly to a moderator requesting he abide by the AUP, of all things - he's created three accounts since.

Sadly, us A.S.S.H.O.L.E.S aren't particularly willing to give a second chance to such a person.

How long is the ban? if you dont mind me asking

I can but won't connect to EA...

Why??

 

[Famine]

How long is the ban? if you dont mind me asking

Well... we don't do temporary ones...

 

[arvore]

Why??

Don't know can't sign in...going to give another try...

He's bound to reacting badly to a moderator requesting he abide by the AUP.
He's from Newcastle.
Steveo the banned is online so that rules out affecting fat PS3's but it's worth trying the swap.
Arvore it won't let you into EA because you've been on Super car V8 all week.

 

[SteveO1965]

Well... we don't do temporary ones...

Well as a Moderator on the biggest Ferrari forum i can ban for a minimum of one minute to obviously a perm ban, these bans can also be overturned at anytime?

So you are telling me that a respected member suffers a brain fart and you hit him with a perm ban?

Surely some leeway can be given here?

No,no now seriously man i can't even connect to psn now...👎

 

[mindwise]

+1 y'all...

Indeed. However we don't do temporary bans.

So you are telling me that a respected member suffers a brain fart and you hit him with a perm ban?

Nope. I'm telling you that he did enough to get a ban.

And, for reference, I did no banning of any flavour. I reminded people in this thread of their obligations to the AUP. Some were shorter on heeding that notice than others.

Surely some leeway can be given here?

He got the same leeway afforded to every other member here who is not an advertising bot.

It's a pity, but there you go.

 

[SteveO1965]

Same here, i have tried a the slim and i still cannot connect?

Ok i think i understand, but the door could still be ajar?

Any banned member can return. If they return and are undetected then they aren't exhibiting the behaviour that got them banned - that is, they are abiding by the AUP. Which is all we ask of any member.

Fair enough so if the sock puppet behaves long enough you let them stay? now obviously you will have done the IP checks on the sock puppet?

Would it not be better in that case to ban the sock puppet and let said user resume his original ID?

Please don't take this as critisism but it is the way i try to get members to change their ways at F-chat and resume in a better manner.

 

[Aldo]

Jaysus... I turn my back for 10 minutes and now look what's happened. The Hogfather got himself banned!
I was gonna play Shift tonight but as I didn't see SteveO on and there is something special going down on Radio 1 just now I turned my PS3 off

I cannot connect to the PSN mate something is going down again?

 

[Aldo]

I dunno
Me and some other GTP guys have been playing Modern Warfare 2 all night. A lot of the games were unusually laggy though...
Edit 90000: I meant "happening on radio 1", not something on the ps3 is going down as in breaking

The Hogfather!

God! I miss the old lug already! He reminded me of my old dog that I could never take out for a walk because he would eat the neighbors.

Hi everyone,

Will you guys invite me tonight to the races if we can connect to the server?
Is there any free place for me on the startline?

 

[Famine]

Even if they have the same Psn name?

Hence "undetected".

You misunderstand. It's not that the individual is welcome to return, but that we essentially cannot prevent it. Take Public's Twin. He's a member we banned years ago called PublicSecrecy. In the intervening years between the two accounts, he must have registered upwards of 30 accounts here, mainly to say "Hahaha, you can't stop me" - whereupon he was rebanned. A few months back he registered as Public's Twin and PMed all the staff to say he was sorry and would just like to be on GTP again - he knows full well he's on permanent one-chance status, but he's still here.

Losing your original ID is the price you pay for your behaviour. If you value your online identity, you behave accordingly. Once lost, it's not coming back again - and no-one is ever going to use an account which describes the staff as "Y.O.U.R ALL A.S.S.H.O.L.E.S" (sic) ever again (notwithstanding the horrific Americanism from a guy from Tyneside).

At this point, we do not want THE HOG back in any guise - hence the instabans for the accounts he's tried to register since - but there is always the possibility he can register an account that we don't spot and blend in as a member of GTP society, following the rules that apply to everyone. If he does, we have succeeded in enforcing the rules, through turning someone who deliberately breaks them into someone who abides by them. If he fails to do so, we have succeeded in enforcing the rules by pruning those who do not believe they should follow them.

However, this isn't the appropriate place for a discussion of moderation standards. Please feel free to PM the admins (Jordan, Der Alta, Duke) if you wish to discuss policy, or stick a thread in Site Feedback (you're welcome to start it off by quoting this conversation between you and I) if you'd like a more public airing.

Hey man I'll be on between 8/9GMT to practice. Your in group B tonight the guys will invite you to the game and the text chat room.
Your line up is on page 1. It's going to be tough tonight.
There's going to be such an immense battle for the top 3 places of the table. I'm hoping I can be consistent enough to keep my 4th place that would be a great 1st season for me.
Best of look guy. 👍

Guys i just tried to connect to the PSN to see if things were back to normal and bad news i still cannot connect

Can anyone else try to connect and let me know if this problem is not just mine please

 

[arvore]

Well i'm glad that i've the "oh,i didn't pratice because i got a new game "excuse or other i would have,like someone said,to go throught F1 excuses book and find myself a good one...
In Ambush canyon a lottery is on hold the one who can get away from trouble should win(watch out for banned friend he has exquisite tastes and likes to run the LMS in this track(go figure) and he is pretty damn fast there...
Dakota is one of those so called demon tracks for me-i don't like it so never played much...
I was with somekind of hope in Silverstone but then last night Manny gently showed me what's tuning all about and beat me pretty bad in a TIER 2 car-🤬 that camarro ss is fast-but only a great racer like you could take it for 15 laps overthere without major set backs:tup: i've tried latter-while i was waiting for someone to rejoin-and it's an hard beast to tame.

But like i said before no matter which player wins ,in the end-ricky BEWARE of that sneaky bastard adddictions he is on our tale discretly bitting it,but is a serious candidate-didn't know if you noticed but last night he did not wanted to show what he's got and runned cars below tier all night so he can surprise you today-it will be a nice clean driver respected by all and which respects everyone else,after having another good fun evening racing with friends in a healthy competition where winning matters but it's not the single most important thing:tup:

Me,Hog,Manny,Arvore and R.W was on last night I'm connected now so is Sham and Mindwise.
lol arvore It's no secret I'm running the R8 I run against steveo Lambo the other night think he run a 1.19.300 ish and i managed a 1.19.800 ish after tweeking. I'v been running my 12. cars as I'v played with them this week I'v also been working on project Best Move Won't Move 5 (BMW M5) but It's 2 seconds to slow for the running this week.
So I haven't had much practice I'v been tuning.
