You get loud obnoxious ringing screeching sounds too while online in Nas' rooms?

I still get giggles from the VGT race at Indy and Nas's over 9000 desperation to not let me lap him.

I'll be back once you all decide if you want decent driving standards or not. I hear complaining all of the time about stupid moves and all this and that yet it's still happening in the very next lobby, some of which by the very same people who were complaining earlier.
It's Fun Runs, casual racing. Now, some people here have changing definitions of what "casual" is on a day-to-day/race-to-race basis, and it's a waste of my time. I try to steward/direct these races the best I can because I care about where the racing is going and how it's being carried out. It's not an easy task for me to sit there all night flipping cameras and trying to make the right calls when people are talking over me, making the wrong calls, and effectively negating any feedback I have because "Bambi never races".
I don't feel I'm actually appreciated here and therefore will cease to participate for the time being. The only person who I recall appreciating my work and my opinion on the driving/race is @vetteman24, who cared enough to join me on Skype so I could explain things without everyone in the room trying to pound my words into the ground because I wasn't on the racetrack. I may be in the room just to have something to watch but don't expect me to help out while you all go against the very driving standards you claim you want for the Fun Runs. If it's not okay on the first lap it's not okay on the last, that's a double-standard.
It's a smack in the face to feel this way after the time I've spent in Fun Runs flipping cameras rather than doing something for my own explicit benefit.
Anyways if there's a room tonight have fun. I may be busy tonight and won't be online.

Well done guys, well done. 
You've gone and made one of the greatest guys in this community quit on you because of things we've agreed not to do. This legitimately pisses me off. How can you not appreciate what our friend Bambi does for us?!?! And if you really want to improve driving standards, you should show that you care about doing so, and not doing as I've heard from others. I'm really frustrated and upset about this as its absolutely ridiculous.
Bambi, you made the right choice. No need to stay if it really isn't worth wasting your time. Hope you come back soon. We'll miss you over here.

Hey look, my own opinion regarding all this. How fortunate.
I am sorry, I just cannot comprehend any of this. I cannot, plain and simple. You'd think that some common sense should've been applied in these cases by now, but Whitetail's words prove otherwise. Again, nothing good will come from this if people keep it up...

No. I want to know. Being a part of this club, I should know anyway.

I just thought it was funny that I often get lambasted out of nowhere, whilst on the other hand it's apparently fine to create a 🤬 up because it's the last lap.
The "we really want to be casual but we really want to be full-on serious" approach is impossible. It's one or the other. You can do impromptu and fun with good driving standards, but this seems to aim for that and miss both. I do this because it was, and still should be, a quick rota of random races. Now it's a bit like rolling every GTP series idea into one lobby, and it's not impromptu (unless that just refers to having no set start time for the lobbies, which is like false advertising 101) or even fun.
Angel hit it on the head ages ago by saying that we're essentially arguing over something that was never laid down in the first place and never clarified. If people continually show no spatial awareness, it's really easy to tell them to sit out a race. Instead we descend into mass chaos and fighting. It's absolutely pointless to keep up the double standards, because some will always be unhappy.
I propose that we all collaborate, seriously, and draw up a very basic and easy to understand form of etiquette for every category of racing we do - that's if we push for the full-on serious approach. If we want to go back to the quick rota of fun races, keep it simple - if someone consistently shows they can't drive, and enough people call for it, tell them to sit a race out. Simples.

I was unhappy about how the final lap was raced in an IROC race at Daytona (nosing cars up the track and blocking others while out of fuel), but when I brought it up I was rendered insignificant and told to let it go as I was the only one who had an issue and wasn't even racing at that.
Not going into too much detail, but that was the basics of it.

Basically, driving standards have gone to 🤬 and are either taking baby steps to recover or continuing to decline into hell.
People are basically being total :censored:s on track driving without due care and are hardly making any attempts to improve our image. We've basically become a laughing stock of the community.

Well, if you want to know; Bambi is upset that despite asking people to improve their driving standards, they rebuff his words and refuse to improve. In essence, he feels that no matter how much he tries to help, it seems that things won't change. Ergo, he'll step down from his position until people learn to improve their driving standards.

In my opinion, if one person isn't "allowed" to care about driving standards, no one should. Especially since, as @BRRT_Angel said before, the rules don't even exist.
Now, instead of arguing over nonexistent rules, let's actually create some, follow them, and cheer up a bit, ay?

We need to draft some rules. For real. But not anything too excessive and extremely ridiculous. I say we get at least 10 easy to follow rules. If you refuse to abide then you sit out until you can. We need clean and fun racing, but it needs to have a moderately serious approach to it. Too serious and we'll screw it up.
