Before anyone says anything I'm not having a rant (that was my other thread )
Is it possible to make anyone who late starts or restarts take a time penalty. It occured to me that on certain tracks like passing through etc that the racer who posts 3 clean decent laps might get beaten to the win by a faster racer who restarted because he stuffed his car and although he would have won had he not stuffed it there should be some reward for the consistent driver.
It would also completely eradicate my utter hatred of deliberate late starters which to be fair isn't as bad as it used to be. _________________

no sorry, but it may be possible to warn them and boot them automatically after several offences..... now that idea i like!
I will think about it for the new controller which I'm still trying to start.... |

i was thinking, is it possible that if somebody curses, instead of detecting the curse and giving a warning, why not replace the curse with a different word...like instead of b***ard, say biscuit
and instead of f*** say fudge _________________

I dont think a server sontroller can change text. It can give warnings and kick people for it, obviously, and it can also put ??? as the name but i dont think it can change whats said. There probably is maybe a way with about 4 million lines of code, but its not really worth it. |

yep you can't alter the chat...
I did see a post about adding four lines in quick to scroll the offending article out of the way and then you could theoretically replace the chat. |

this may have a quite clear answer but may as well ask.....
could you mute someone stopping them from using the chat? |

yep easily... its called a ban
only the same as the swear idea.. spamming the chat so you can't see it.
If done well, you wouldnt notice much because the same text could be put back in. my only beef with this is the server processing and messages.... alot of messages. |

I agree completely with Spanky, although on Mad Laps the delay time for runners-up is short enough it's not the same issue as it on servers with 30 seconds (or more) time after the first finisher.
I have seen servers (RFR US comes to mind) that are lap tracks, but are timed/ handled in round mode, so a restart of the clock retires the driver. A bit draconian, but it does the trick. There may be a ladder scoring angle I'm missing, but wanted to throw my 2 pence in. _________________ I'm more of a vehicular gymnasticist than driver. |

the restart button is there for the newbies that crash too much, dont want them getting to disheartened every race when they are forced to watch. _________________

Unfortunately newbies are not the worst offenders. The vain arseholes who hold points above fair play are the worst offenders. A racer who holds many a record who late started denied he late started and stated "I was doing something when the race started" so if he doesn't consider it unsporting behaviour there is no hope convincing the points whores. _________________

The only reason I late start is to say bye to someone who's leaving! _________________ It's not the winning, its the taking apart |

Late starting isn't really the problem it's hitting restart to zero the time when you do.
You're an honourable man Dantski and above such things though _________________
