I don't know if this has been asked for before and with the thread already at 35 pages it would take an age to check it all. So sorry if it has been asked before.
As a new admin to a busy server I have struggled a bit to find usernames and type commands etc quickly so would be nice to have a window similar to the LFS Names window that appears when you press N but with added commands like spec, penalty (30/45/dt/sg/cc). Is this possible? Or is it already there and I just haven't found it yet? I have looked.
At the moment it is much easier to kick a badly behaving racer than to spec or give a penalty but I don't like to use kick when the server is full.
Saying something like that is like saying "you are not clever enough to understand, I am obviously much more inteligent than you because I do understand."
I doubt you meant it like that but it is what you basically said.
But that option is available to everyone or no one on the track. The reality is that if you don't need it you are going to be faster than someone who does need it or finds it useful, whether they use it or not.
I just don't see why you could have a problem with someone using a learning aid while slowly completing laps at the back while the front of the pack is getting further and further away. They are never going to compete with someone who knows racing lines so why feel they are extracting the urine?
And what about J@tko's reason for using it? Is it not a good idea for a noob (no I'm not calling J@tko a noob) to be told where to brake, especially for T1? Without the aid he may crash into the back of you.
Being Lame and cheating are worlds apart. Personally I don't think it's even lame but that's just my opinion. We are, of course, both entitled to our opinion.
If this is not a joke then I feel very sorry for you. I really do.
Everyone has the ability to turn it on so no one can get an unfair advantage by using it.
Many faster drivers say that there are faster lines, someone even has said it in this thread, so it doesn't bring beginners up to fast drivers speed.
Why not give a beginner a chance to stay up with the back of the pack?
Just because you know the racing line why deprive someone who is new to racing the oportunity to learn about racing lines?
Are you really that insecure in your own abilities that you want beginners not to be given a helping hand?
I really don't understand the constant wishes of people to have threads like this closed. You don't want to read it? Then don't. It's not rocket science.
This is a huge community, not every thread is going to be to everybodys liking. Personally, the programming stuff bores me but I just skim past it.
Eventually the conversation will come to an end and the thread will dissapear from the front page. Why insist on spoiling other peoples conversations just because there was a similar thread 6 months ago?* What makes your opinion more important than others?*
*These questions are pointed at all people who call for threads to be closed not just those in this thread.
Is it the Rosemary Conelly (sp?) diet?
My misses used to do that one, it combines GI with keeping what you eat to stuff that is under 5% fat. Not a bad idea for people not trying to lose weight too.
Scawen wasn't pleased that "the whole comunity flocked to S2"?
He wasn't pleased that nearly every S1 licence holder gave them an extra £12?
Did you read what you wrote?
So you want them to believe that Toyota Starlet was in the room with you as you found out you were banned from LR servers and you decided to let him have a drive instead? I understand why Void would think that is very unlikely.
Also, I think you are forgetting that it is LR's server and they can ban whoever they like for whatever reason they like. Throwing your toys out of the pram isn't going to help.
