Really? This is how I see it panning out:

1. Race online.
2. Someone cheats.
3. Don't race the cheat again - the four other guys do this too.
4. Find someone else to race with you and the four other guys.
5. Cheat's username gets circulated as a cheat.
6. Carry on racing.
7. New people are continually brought into the fold as "someone you trust".
8. Cheats cannot race against anyone, because their names are so widely known.
9. Cheats race against other cheats. Probably more than one of them gets pissed off with other cheats and stop racing.
10. There are now two brackets - people who you trust and will race against, and people who are cheats and cannot race against anyone but other cheats.

Looks like a solution to me.

It really does not work. On xbox live the cheats are known for being the best drivers, no one seems to care that their times are almost exclusivly done by wall riding, gass cutting glitch shifting. People just tell you its part of the game and if everyone else does it then so must you. In GT it will be the same. GT communitys like this are very tiny comapred to the greater public and your values will not be common place online.

In any event tell me how I just dont race with them on the scoreboards? Tell me how their 'bad name' will stop them from being offically the fastest drivers? As I said before I don't really care about simple racing, I want to compete in time trials and for lap records and unless PD do something to address cheating then this whole aspect of online racing will be lost.

And I bet there will be competitions for GT just like there has been for PRD2 and PGR2. How will you feel about cheating when there are $100,000 worth of prizes up for grabs and the only people getting the money are cheats? This is happening right now in Australia with the game arena comp for V8 Supercars 2 (PRD2).

Sure when cheating is in the final game I have no choice but to put up with it, but it does not mean I have to like it and pretend PD have done all they could have. After all if no one ever complains nothing will ever change.
 
They said they will probably have it in the chatroom area sort of thing, but not in the actual online race.

Not that it applies to me. *Curses 56k*

ba humbug. gt4 online cannot suck, period. because it cant be any worse than LFS, or any other game. PD wont dissapoint. so dont worry about it. Plus the gtp community will give an opportunity to have fun races if there are any problems... theres nothing to worry about. go on w/ ur lives people. 👍

Your solution is to ignore it and hope it goes away. That just dose not cut it as a solution.

This solution works to a point

NR2003 has been out for over 2 years. When I first started racing online 2 years ago with it idiots who wrecked everyone etc were everywhere

Now, 2 years later, the idiot ratio has gone from 1 every 4 races to 1 every 10+. n fact, I cant remember the last time I saw an intentional wrecker online

Eventually all the idiots who cant drive will get bored of wrecking/ruining others races and will stop coming online. It wont completly stop the problem but give it time, 1-2 years, and most of the idiots will go away. The time trial guys may stay, but the 10-20 lap race idiots will leave.
