Such a thing exists? I then did a search! I found 2. Both locked, so I'd assume it's a "can't have that" thread?
 
Alright, I just wanted to put a couple names out there that felt the need to do nothing but ram me off the track tonight.
 
There's a few issues with such a thing.

* One-sidedness - if you're complaining about a non-GTP member, how will they be able to defend themselves?
* Evidence - it doesn't matter who you are, we're not just going to take your word that x is a dirty driver. You have the same burden of proof as you do for time trial times. Evidence needs to be provided.
* Flame wars - if you're complaining about a GTP member, it'll descend into a tit-for-tat waste of everyone's time that never ends.
* Lag - your evidence (if you can provide it) might show that they drove into you, but their evidence (if they can provide it) might show they were never even aware of you
* Subjectivity - oh, and then someone (probably a member of staff or a WRS steward) needs to judge who's done what based on the evidences provided if provided. We have enough of a job sorting out what goes on here, without policing the entire internet.
* More flame wars - and then we're in the wrong for someone depending on what we said. I know of at least one occasion of a member leaving after a public allegation of wrongdoing against another member that they thought we should have acted on because of who they were, but which didn't take into account the lack of proof or the possibility of inadvertant wrongdoing through lag - they were right because of what they'd seen and we were wrong for not doing anything...


At best, we'll do something about GTP_ members if you can provide evidence for allegations of wrongdoing, but you do it by PM to the staff and not in a public thread. Public accusations just result in problems and ill feeling.
 
Thanks for that, I'm not sure if they are GTP members but I can tell you 100% sure that the incidents were NOT accidents, and it was NOT due to lag. One of them even sat there and waited for me to come back on the track so that he could continue ramming me.

IMO these guys are the scum of the GT5 online world and they needed to be reported. 👍
 
There is an "unofficial" drag blacklist to prevent people wrecking the pro tunnel rooms, but the only reasons these people get on there is when the following happens:

1. Racing for pinks, losing and not giving the car away. Cardinal sin there.
2. Deliberate and constant wrecking of drag races. Usually the user gets a report/kick for those efforts if it's the first couple of times.
3. Stealing PSN accounts aka the Legitskillz rule.

Other than that, the easiest thing to do is to report the user as a group in the room and then vote-to-kick or get the host to kick. Usually you need independent witnesses to get people onto the blacklist, so a couple of people that aren't your mates verifying incidents helps.
