this thread makes my brain hurt
The issue is your approach.
Admins are not required to babysit their servers. If there are admins spectating to monitor a server, consider it a blessing, not a right.
If you have an issue with someone on track, all you have to do is politely get an admins attention and ask them to review the situtation.
Racing on a server provided by the very team you are a member of does not mean you are employed to kick/ban people for their behavior.
Simply put, if you give an attitude, you're going to get an attitude back.

shit has been removed for your pleasure.....so shit away my friend
BoB's is good, although it can be very tight with the barriers.
Here's my modified version of Bob's Martyville lyt., complete with a turnaround/staging area.
There's no pitlane, as is was not intented to use one.
It is actually up on one of my servers right now if ya wanna try it out.
Server name is LeveL | SysteM 5
Btw, XRR is a beast on this track

haven't been able to access CP for a few hours now.....
ah, i misunderstood you somewhat....
maybe we need a "hey i have a server and need suggestions as to what combo to put on it" thread.....(hey wait i just did that
)although that is a good idea, it's kind of off topic as to the basis of this thread....
i have quite a few setup-grid sets with adjusted gears for 20% already.
they may not be perfect, but they are better than just running stock sets with the restriction.
i can zip em and post em if anybody wants....

although i understand the plight, i really dont see why there is a 30-something post thread about how certain servers are set up.
these servers which have been dubbed "abnormal" are paid for, therefore if someone chooses to set it up a certain way, so be it.
many server providers (includng myself) try to offer what is popular with the majority for the moment.
if you look not too far back you will see there was an influx of FOX-only servers, Fox leagues, Fox this, Fox that......
how many months was FM Fox junkies at the top of the populated server list? more than i can really remember.
i'm sure not everyone liked to drive the Fox, but did anyway because thats where their friends were, where the competition was.....
a few weeks ago it was the CAD DD server., last year it was a few weeks straight of tbo's on RSR server. or more recently LR|Race Center.
if IHR shut down right now, the 40+ people there would find somewhere else to go, ranking system or not, and it would be packed for days, weeks months.
some people are trying to do something to make up for the lack of content and/or upgrades that we cannot control.
maybe instead of complaining about what we do have to choose from, offer suggestions as to what you want.
i personally have 5 active servers right now, you want a certain combo? say so.
you can have any combo you want. but those who pay for servers can only guess what you want if you don't say so. they see what is popular and go for it.
i put a poll up here. make a choice, you get what you want.
suggestions usually have far better results than complaints.....
(sorry for the rant...it's the medication...)

are playing points distributed the same as race points? if not, maybe playing points could be made standard and used in a global stat.....
then the servers could simply choose the PointsPlaying command already in place in the system as true or false.....

it's actually kind of a catch 22.
Part of the reason there are ranking systems is try to help new LFS users to improve there abilites before they have access to faster, more difficult to drive cars.
Experienced players should have no problem progressing through a ranking sustem (provided it is done correctly) to get to the cars they want to drive.
Not to offend anyone, but if your abilites are not up to par, then you end up spending more time in slower cars, which (hopefully) affords those who do have greater abilites a somewhat better opportunity to have a clean race. Because if you join a populated server and get crashed out repeatedly by someone who cannot handle a certain car, you will not be happy, and will leave anyway.
If you take IHR for example, and allowed everyone on the server to drive the GTR's. How long do you think the "experienced" players who are there to have a good race will stay in the server? Probably not long.
And saying there are no "normal" servers really isn't fair. There are 930 servers that show up when i click on "display a list of hosts".
So the some of the most populated one happen to use ranking systems....not much you can do. You can't force people to go to another server that doesn't rank. They choose to be there, just as some choose not to.
There are good quality servers around, you just have to look.

is there a specific combo you would prefer? or would you like to be able to select whichever you want?
after seeing a few of these threads, i was thinking of altering one of my servers to user-selectable combos, provided it is not abused.
the specific server currently is set up for oval, and does not use any points or ranking systems, so would be very easily switched to user-selectable tracks/cars.
or i can put up a poll here for a weekly combo to choose from.

yes those were awesome....and they were 20% btw.....
20% seemed IMO nice because it was much easier on tires, yet you still had plenty of power, unlike the UFBR/XFJR.
there were some really awesome races on that server with 25 of those cars....
you were perma-banned due to 1)repeatedly ignoring the rules, 2)too many complaints from other users, and 3) earning an excessive record of kicks/bans.
and frankly, the babysitting has come to an end.
the server is what the public makes it.
the stupidity is no longer entertaining, it's rather embarrassing actually.
