Yesterday (Sunday) I was on TC Montana, Everything was working fine, I was cruising around in my XFR. And I logged off. Got off work today, and tried to log onto TC Montana and it says. "Host refused connection" In otherwords I'm banned for some reason? Someone please look into this, as that is the only server that I get on. And my life is quite boring without it.

were u using a [TC] name tag?

Yea. Come to think of it.. I didn't think I would be able to though. Thought you had to register for that..

i nearly got banned for that

Bah, I knew that, I didn't think it would actually let me use the name tag though. How long will the ban be?

read mate read!!!!!!!!!!

60 days? wow, I can't live with that, If I'da known better I would not have done that. Ask anyone on that server, I play fair, and follow the rules. Who would I speak to about working something out maybe?

I mean, thats all I have, is LFS when I'm not working. How would I contact an admin or something?

try posting some where in herehttp://forum.city-driving.co.uk/

What a big deal...

Meh, i got banned for ever, for pay 100 for no reason

The server cannot restrict what name LFS allows you to have. Regardless of who's server it is, you can have any name or tag that you want

An external InSim application could take action (forced spectate, kick, ban etc) if a user connected with a name matching a particular pattern or if a user changed their name to a particular pattern whilst on the server.

I'm probably on there, and i've never even poked my nose into that server!

60 days for simply having [TC] in your name is way OTT, the admin could've just said "If you're not part of the team, don't use our team tag" And all you would have to do is open up your driver options and delete 4 characters, which would take less than 30 seconds.



This is why I don't cruise.

Yeah, but LFS itself cannot do that, is what I meant. But it's a good idea, and I don't know why [TC] don't implement such a system, because it would save them a lot of hassle.

that ban length is way OTT if you ask me.....

i have been banned for using illegal car models ?
im with the default ones by the way..

My [TC] Ban story is........

Some loser was ramming me, the 3rd time they rammed me a [TC] Admin came into the server. they saw me flying along the straight and hitting head-on because the "Rammer" had crossed the white line and hit me. I got angry and swore at them. I got a 3day ban! I asked the admin that banned me why I got banned. They replied for offensive language, which I agreeded with and had no problem. I asked if the other person had been banned the reply was no, so I sent my replay to the admin. I ended up getting banned for longer for wasting there time. I got annoyed and posted my whole PM posts with the admin as they were very rude! I got banned for longer again 3months!

Do you realize how sad that sounds?

For everyone who were banned, feel free to make an Unban Request on our forums. Make it there: http://forum.city-driving.co.uk/forumdisplay.php?fid=10. There is also a sample of it: http://forum.city-driving.co.uk/showthread.php?tid=25.

And please, can this thread get locked now? I get a hedache when i read some "smart" comments. People are talking about our banning system, without having a single clue what acctualy happened, what does users history (URS) on our servers looks like, etc. Pendragon1989 has already sorted it out on our forums also.
