GT5 Net User Quits

[Zetec-ss]

I had about 4 races with a guy called "GT5_netDAM624", most of the races included 4 cars, all 4 races i was on pole by the final lap, (can't keep up with us GTP boys ) and he quit the game just before i crossed the line on 3 races lets just hope this guy isn't hosting the games when we start the forum tournaments. i hope all the other gt5net races aren't like this...this is not a good example this guy is setting his forum

Really surprised to hear that Zetec - every time I've come across the GT5_net racers their racing has been exemplary.

Might be worth mentioning it to a GT5_net moderator, I'm sure they'd want to know about it.

thats exactly what i was thinking, when i first seen the menu screen just before the race started, i thought "yes, this should be a good battle, especially as i know he won't quit being a GT5 NET user. he was driving the new shape Subaru Impreza in Red.

edit...the actual racing that we had was good, he is a clean racer he just quitted when he span out/ was knocked off by some random racer.

There is already a thread for this.

Was it a pre-organised race/series that had been sanctioned by event organisers at that forum (or any other forum)? If so, then you should report it to the mod/admin who set up the race and let them take the necessary action.

If not, though, then contacting a moderator at that forum is a bit pointless, because it is not up to them to enforce the online behaviour of their members in anything other than "Official events" any more than it is a GTP moderators job to tell a GTP member how to behave online. All you can do is to let the individual know that their behaviour is annoying you, and hope that they don't tell you to shove it....

We have to remember that the use of a forum membership tag doesn't imply that the forum has any control or responsibility over those individuals. As such, the good name of GT5_Net should not be spoiled by the actions of one individual, who, for all we know about it, might not even be a member there at all...

I can also say that I've had as many good, clean races with GT5_Net drivers as I have had with GTP_ racers. For the record, I have started paying more attention to who is hosting so that I can spot any repeat offenders of host-quitting, which, fortunately, I haven't had the misfortune to encounter yet. If the problem persists, though, I'd recommend leaving any races which you notice the person is hosting, and join another race.



edit: I see the convo has moved to an existing thread on host-quitting, so I'll close this... 👍
