I know my temper can flare with the best of em, but dang, it's just a
game.  It actually made me a lot madder that this dude started heaping
abuse on me for his "mistake" than it did that he cost me a top 3
finish.  He even tried to wreck me again several laps after that...
jeesh..  and this on a 4-10 server.

So, can't we all just get along, take a pill, grow up, whatever?  The
really poor attitude online is what made me quit wanting to play
Counterstrike.

Maybe the threat of getting banned has everyone's panties in a wad?
Just practice the Golden Rule, and you will be OK.

Breath in, breath out.

One piece of advice though, if someone blame you for his mistakes and
call you all sorts, just ignore him, but pay attention to his track
position ;)

  Welcome to N4 online. The hostility is so present that i've started to
  laugh at it. I don't want to generalize and call the N4 online racing
  community for immature at best, but very tempted to. I wonder what the
  average age is.

  One piece of advice though, if someone blame you for his mistakes and
  call you all sorts, just ignore him, but pay attention to his track

Problem is, sometimes the faster drivers are WORSE.  They *** at you for
being in THEIR way.  Like the slower cars are supposed to part like the Red Sea
just to let them through.  Even though the reason they're behind you in the
first place is they fell off the track somewhere, and you DIDN'T.

with Papy's no-wrecker-tolerance policy, the driving on the tracks has
become better, but there are more discussions in the chat.

Only the immature ones. I have been running leagues for over 6 years now and still look forward to each and every race.

WE LOVE YOU JOACHIM!!!

I know a wrecker when I see one... some things are pretty obvious.
Like folks driving sharply up off the apron going 90 mph on the
backstretch at Daytona right in front of the lead pack.  That's pretty
obvious.  Something should and MUST be done about drivers who do
things like this.

Other things are a pretty much a toss up.  RacerA is headed for the
turn with RacerB just alongside his rear fender.  By all rights,
RacerA has the line, but if he comes down to take it and RacerB
doesn't back off, there will be an "incident".  Is RacerA a wrecker if
he takes his line?  Is RacerB a wrecker for forcing the issue?
Depending on who you ask, what lap of the race it happened, who had
the faster car, whether or not on or both the drivers are Jimmy
Spencer, who was higher in the championship points, etc., you will get
different answers, at least when you're talking stock cars.
Personally, I dont want anyone other than me and the other driver
involved in resolving these type situations.

I know they're well intentioned, so at least you can praise em for
wanting to make it better for us.

Any place with concrete information about how and where this will be
enforced?
