Without an admin on line, it's hard to overcome some of the problems described. If you find a group of people who are good and are usually on around the same time, they tend to end up looking for each other ( in my experience), and it is easier if you have the numbers on your side.
You shouldn't have a problem on a team server where a team member is present ( I Hope).
We've recently gotten our server going again (
www.core-racing) and speaking for myself, I don't put up with a lot of crap from anyone.
I understand the argument that new players need time to improve, learn the ropes, etc, and I'll go out of my to help or explain what they've done wrong before just banning.
However, I think that anyone, whether it be their first day in LFS or their
third year, who's sole intent is to ruin other people's experience isn't worth the time to bother with. You can't force people to grow up, and there have been a few that just won't be back on our server before the 4th updates to S3 have been issued.
So hopefully, you can find some servers when the admins are on.
Another option is to use the 'start game' button, if you have enough bandwidth. With cable, I can usually run 6-10 cars without any serious lag.
There really are quite a lot of great drivers who aren't like the ones in the post. Keep trying, it's worth it.
