The Problems with TruckersMP 

Your points are valid. Bad moderation can make or break a game. I've been on TruckersMP for years and the moderation hasn't improved at all. Not saying there aren't good mods and admins but something has to change. I'm super excited for buses to be released this year but I'm worried about the overall experience due to poor moderation. Great vid, I love what the TruckersMP team does and appreciate their hard work so I hope to see things improve in the future :) I'd also like to say it's great to hear you offering some solutions to these problems as well as mentioning them. I hope they listen!

I dont understand why duisburg is so busy and the rest of the map you could drive around and be lucky to see 1 other player has never made sence to me

I'm so happy they added multiplayer convoys. I can now play with friends in the game, keep the AI traffic and I don't have to deal with any of this bullshit ever again.

Just a side note / gripe, it seems your following the truck in front of you pretty closely often I normally keep a 4-6 second barrier behind them, especially if they lagspike

3:09 people who block the roads and he goes and blocks the road genious

It's a shame to see they haven't changed in the slightest since back when the mod first released. It's not hard to manage shit like this. You make some rules, you enforce them, you try to think of your feet to fill in gaps, and you accept evidence to ban/overturn bans. It seems that everything is missing and still has been missing for years.

TruckersMP just has a monopoly that is why they can do what they want if there was competition they couldn't act like that

My friend that had around 2 hours on truckersMP was driving behind an Admin,my friend had a Trailer that was 61T heavy meaning he could not break that well + he had a pretty bad truck.He had a distance of around 50m but the admin in front breaked very hard for no real reason and my friend hit his trailer very softly (5-10km/h) He got banned for 15 days for ,,collison" he did not even deal damage to the admin...He even had the god damn ,,NEW" in his player tag yet he instantly got banned

I was in duisburg driving and minding my own buisness. It was nearly 1AM and I just had to deliver my cargo in duisburg. Well the guy behind me thought he could overtake me with 140 players stuck in a traffic jam. 10 seconds later I overtook him and he steered and crash against me causing me to crash into a truck on the opposite lane standing still. Oh there was a kind a little further back in the line who recorded it and sent it to the moderators. In the video you can see that I was overtaking yes! but you could also see that the guy steered into me causing a major crash. I was self recording and showed it to the moderators, and guess what? I got banned for 35 days for "Blocking" while the other moron did not get a ban. I recently served my ban, since that I have not played on truckersmp but on scs official convoys with friends. Playing on truckersmp since february 2016 I have been treated with 1 major ban that was not my fault at all, but I got a permanent ban that lasted for 3 years. The moderator got demoted to player then later removed from the platform - but still. 3 long years and then they saw it was not my fault.

I think you have a lot of valid points, but you do have to take a realistic view on your driving in TruckersMP. It is a simular which is supposed to resemble real life. In real life with a 40 ton truck you would not be that close to another driver. As for the winther mod. You don't need the physics, but if you choose the physics. You have to be a lot more careful with your driving. And I do get that you play it to hang out with friends, but you do not need to go to the busy cities. specially not if you keep getting banned for it.

I want to agree with you on some points, then I watch the video more and more. I 100% agree with you on some admins are overpowered with ego problems. On other aspects I question though. You say small accidents, but then I start to wonder. Due to the fact how many times you hit someone in the rear. After so many times, it starts becoming not an accident, but turns into questioning your driving. Your incident that you're talking about of traffic ahead and you hitting the person in front. I could see why, you don't leave any following distance to react. Even after getting banned for stuff like that in the past you still keep driving into the back of people. Then you brought up the winter mod and the ban. Saying the winter mod is broken and you shouldn't be banned, because you lost control. I question the ban. I think it could've been a warning, but the mod isn't broke. You were driving the truck/trailer over the limit for conditions and lost control, causing an accident. That's not a mod fault, that a driver fault. A mod that you chose to download and use. A mod that is not forced. You also chose to download the physics mod, which you didn't need to download or use for the winter mod. If I go drive my vehicle right now, on the snowy icy roads and lose control/wreck. What is it the worlds fault for snowing? No it's my fault for driving over the limits for said conditions.

Honestly they need to see this video. I swing on a hill instead of hitting someone and i get ban for reckless driving. They are disgusting and they take the fun out of it. At the end of the day its jus a GAME

I'm 5 minutes into the video and I can't take you serious when your driving is garbage 5:40 you are literally tailgating the guy, so don't get surprised when you get banned for rear ending him. smh

Ok so just started watching but I gotta say your are following WAAAY too close to that truck with the 2 heavy trailers and keep rear ending him…. About the winter mod, it says physics are optional separate from the winter look, it also says you will still be responsible, and if you drove with the physics mod for winter the same as you do in normal game then yes, absolutely you would be at fault, driving too fast for conditions or reckless driving. Idk the situation that happened to cause the one you spoke of but based on the driving in the video you follow extremely closely and more on the aggressive side it seems. All that being said, I agree with them being harsh on honest accidents and small stuff and words some no matter the situation. Traffic in Duisburg they just need a few moderators for there specifically and use their cars like in events to block and direct traffic in a way that lets traffic flow. Another alternative is modding the map to move the shop over to the T intersection, sitting it away from the road, adding a long-ish entrance/exit with 2 lane in(1 south and eastbound entrance and 1 westbound entrance)and 2 lanes out(1 for right turns and straight on, and 1 for left hand turns) and make it a collision zone. Also adding stop lights to what would become a 4 way intersection and set them on timers with only one direction green at a time for say 1 minutes each for east, west, and shop, and 30 seconds for south. They could even making left hand turn lanes for both sides of the east-west 2 lane road. Eastbound gets 1 straight and 1 for into repair shop, Westbound gets southbound turn lane, straight on, and a long right hand turn lane for the entrance to the shop that bypasses the stoplight. Its a lot of map work for them probably but it would flow waaaay better I’m sure.

My main issue is that people are way too eager to overtake

Whenever I drive on TMP I always keep my distance so I won't hit the person in front of me even when they lag that's how I avoid crashes.

About the first issue: Just don't drive fucking 1m away the dude in front of you just like IN REAL LIFE

I think if you were somehow able to add a Barrier/blockage to cities to help keep numbers down all it would really do is cause congestion at the barriers. What I think would be a better Idea is to make it so when the destination city is clogged, you aren't able to get a job to that city until numbers go down. I hope that make sense. Thoughts?

Got my first ban in 5 years, for 30 days, all because the truck in front braked harshly and to avoid colliding hard with him, I braked hard and swerved left a bit, tapping the guy in the opposite lane, one of the reasons for the ban was "intentional" overtaking, after showing my side, the overtaking reason got removed, but the 30 days were not altered. Then you see people doing stuff way worse and all they get is a kick. Not saying I wasn't at fault, but 30 days seemed excessive for a first time offense.

I once got told to ‘learn to drive’ by someone on the wrong side of the road

Duisburg is now one mass no-collision zone fortunately.

I have played it in 2015-2018 it was a great time for me, but I sold my PC. Never got banned or kicked. But I can confirm, there are bad Moderators and even Admins. Back in the days there where like 4000+ People on Server 1 and even Server 2 was filled like 50%. I have checked it sometimes and I noticed Truckersmp lost alot of players. Still had a great time

The mods and admins made me quit TMP. I hope to hit convoy mode allows more people and TmP gets inactive.

I’m glad that they’ve now made the whole of Duisburg a non-collision zone, still doesn’t help the intersection just outside of the town but in town it’s a lot better now.

I'm with you brother, valid points. Glad that I'm not alone to feel that way. Some players also need to grow up, to separate between intentional or accidental.

You do know the mods dont even have to be on the server to kick you, it happened to a friend recently, he got really stuck and instead of pushing f7 and getting recovered to drive 100 miles back to us we tried to help him out of it (winter mod was on btw and we were in the scottish islands so nobody about except us) well they kicked us and banned us because the mod was watching my stream. ive not been on tmp for about 2 months now since it happened. Also wish they would ban everyone from using double trailers anywhere on tmp as 99.9999999% of people who have one dont have a clue how to fucking drive them and get stuck

5:05 i mean you were driving way to close to him so u should have backed up a bit so he couldnt try to get u banned for ramming

I agree with that 100%, I was banned from that damn game 5 times until I got a permanent ban, and I swear to god it was all unfairness because of their STUPID POLICY and my inability to give proof because I can't record while playing because my computer is hardly can run the game. Of course, after that I had to buy the two games again (ETS2 & ATS) and their DLCs, and besides all that too, there is something I have said and will keep saying that the in-game reporting system is USELESS USELESS USELESS and most will agree with me on this, they are disgusting .

i have another suggestion for city control what they could do is keep the teleporting but have multiple teleport points and if they are on a current job the time should be extended along with the money they make that is what i have thought in the past couples years of me playing

While I agree with everything you're saying, if the gameplay in this video is you driving, you're following waaaaaaay too close to trucks in front of you. A truck in front of you should be able to slam their brakes and you should still have plenty of room to also stop. typically you should be following at least 4 seconds behind them but you're always only 1 truck and trailer length behind at best.. usually only 1 second behind tops / only 1 cab length behind. Also you're on the gas way too quick at stops making all those small collisions when the guy in front of you stops. Everyone else is making these driving mistakes as well but so are you. And you may be thinking "If I leave a big gap someone will just move into it" and yes, that's generally how merging works... you just have to continue to make more room.

I have played over 500 hours euro truck, but When the Update with Max 110 speed limit came. I Got really bored, and now i don’t play it anymore and it’s sad

2 years later, and still nothing has changed... smh

One of my friends played truckersmp and got banned because of reckless driving and collision. The moderator banning him said that he crashed into him intentionally, when he was the one that cut him off while he was turning.

They should add so that if there are more than say 50 players in one city "ghost mode" is enabled, so that there is no collision and you can simply drive through all the other trucks. That would solve the traffic problem.

So true when I was in the repair area this guy got mad that I drive through him even though the repair area is packed and your able to drive through other vehicles then he ended up finding something to report me for…

while tmp has its own pros and cons ( the main one being ban hammer) i like tmp more than the scs mp cuz it allows more players. i have 86 mil in ets and sometimes its just boring doing the same over and over again. thats why sometimes its just intresting seeing other ppl crash and the toxic 12 year olds scream in the mic and even bad drivers.

Its gotten to the point where im afraid to overtake anyone on any road so i just have to endure their speed if they dont speed up.

Yeah, what you are saying is true, i hate getting banned with my own video that i made to report someone...

Wow! You get the bottom end of the evolutionary scale playing GTA but I didn’t think it happens over here as well. I think the only place it’s safe is flight Simulator. Humans seem to be there for a reason. Great video by the way.

Ilthough I agree with most of your statements, I don’t agree with limiting the number of people in cities. The reason people drive in very busy areas is because the traffic jams are fun. There is a way around the CD road that is much faster but isn’t as fun. The ‘Death Road’ in TMP Promods is fun because of how narrow and tight the turns are. It fun having to drive on the edge to avoid hitting others.

The only reason why I don’t play truckersMP is simply that there is no ai traffic because of sync issues. So if you just drive alone and serious you will drive forever on empty roads which is so immersion breaking, that I simply can’t play it. And like nearly no one who play TruckersMP seems to have a good understanding of traffic laws. How can you crash multiple times into another truck? Then you clearly did not keep enough space between you and the one in front of you. And just in general, the people drive like crazy

I haven't played TruckersMP yet, I checked out this video while considering weather or not to play it. As for the issue with traffic jams they could make it more realistic by having the exit ramps leading into a city blocked to prevent players from entering. They could block them with a broken down truck with traffic cones and a police car to make it look a little realistic or better yet, don't offer contracts that go to/from that city if there are already over a certain number of people in that city or heading towards that city. I'm glad I checked out this video before deciding to buy the missing DLC I would need and the time to download/setup the mod because after watching this, I'm not sure this is right for me.

4:40 in germany you actually have to pay a fine when you accidentally hit a car while parking, admit to it and call the police for "causing an accident".

Even tho you make a smart move which is bit out of the rules to avoid crashes or other stuff they ban you even if you didnt disturb other players. They will copy paste the same rule section in the appeal and dont even listen to you (happened to me many times where i made a smart move to avoid big crashes).These type of things should be valid for appealing a ban

i have never seen so much traffic in truckersmp, when i'm in a city there's always like 7 people

I made a report and a video against a player, the devs said "we wont take action as they are probably lagging and going through people"... this is pathetic.

I've been considering trying truckersMP. I'm not a big online game guy because of idiots who break immersion with immaturity and hate. Thanks to your video, you've saved me time and headache and I think I will pass. Thanks!

honestly, watching this video makes it feel like the best way not to get banned is to start AGGRESSIVELY reporting others yourself, someone break checks you? report them before they can report you.

This video is now 1 year old, convoys are a thing now so I dont need TruckersMP, but a few years back me and my friends tried TruckersMp and It was hell, I saw videos online of citys full of people when we got there, the server only had like 100 people playing so everything felt like a ghost town, the rules are weird and we got kicked out like thousand times because we forgot to put the damn lights on, we finally came across someone and what did he do? he punted us, but he doesnt get kicked because he had his lights on.

very accurate video, most of those situations have also happened to me for the last 3 years. especially when its just a tap and there's minor damage caused to the other driver. Followed by a month ban. The Moderators really do need to fix there shit together. Ive given up on the community if anything, Its not the TMP that I remembered way back long ago, Swapped to the flight simming community and its much more friendlier

What I am interested in is TruckersMP structure. Some time ago there was a update for ETS2 that TruckersMP wasnt ready for. And so they advised to roll back your update to be able to play on TruckersMP. All understandable...untill you get to a point that it says they have around or under 5 people capable of making the patch and they be working hard to patch it...then when you look at truckersmp it says it have 300+ people as a staff. So what you have 280 power-tripping admins, 10 highups, 5 wherever and 5 people actually working on the mod ?

I once got banned for my Group Tag being I kid you not „ø gang“ while I was on the most northern part of the map with no player anywhere near but that power hungry moderator somehow exclusively located me and banned me for Criminal Activity or some shit like that because apparently having gang in your name implies you are 100% criminal. When I told him I had this tag for almost 2 years now and no one said anything he said „yeah not many moderators care but it’s actually banable:)“.

I’ve been saying this for awhile, but the CD road needs to be a highway, and not a small 2-lane road.

Finally someone that thinks alike! This is the sole reason I don’t play on truckersMP atm… nice vid btw!

I agree with everything you said. But I do think you forgot one thing, that is the community. A lot of the drivers are so petty too. You make a minor mistake, and like you said, if they were recording they'll report you for that dumb mistake you did, and the staff team will ban you without listening your side of the history. A few days ago, I was doing Calais-Duisburg. The truck in front of me was lagging really bad and I was keeping a safe distance. Shortly after leaving Calais the truck lags really badly, which caused me to hit its trailer accidentally. But, consequently, the force of the crash, made my truck flip to oncoming lanes, and there was a truck coming exactly when I crashed, and this truck hit mine also. So far, just a normal accident (btw the crash video is on my channel if you wanna see it, it is the last ETS2 video). But the problem is, the driver who crashed into my truck got super mad, started insulting me, he even had the audacity to say that I was blocking the road. After yelling at me he said he would report and get me banned for blocking and ramming. Like, bro what? Note, one more ban and I get permanent ban. So far I haven't been banned, maybe their report got declined, I don't know. I was permanently banned since 2018 and got unbanned 2 weeks ago because the evidence video was invalid (and the reason for my ban was really dumb, blocking. When I actually crashed my truck and it wasn't working so I stood there for a while, not on purpose). Since I got unbanned I've been driving really carefully. So let's say this was a close call, almost got banned again for a silly reason.

They should add insurance so if you hit someone you can exchange insurance info

honestly i fulle agre with you man, their moderation system is breaking the game indeed, small issues gets people banned but mayor issue just get people kicked from their, the following happened to me recently, i pulled into a parkinglot to make a u-turn, while i was in the middle of making that u-turn a truck just rammed me without braking while he could see me making that u-turn, reported me and i got banned for a week for ramming him and reckless driving, when i asked for proof where making a u-turn on a parking is considered reckless driving they coulndt give me a propper answer, but wasnt the best part yet, i reported that guy who rammed me with the same video and i got the answer that the video was inconclusive and they gave me a warning for using that video, my opinion is olso, that they are using to many kids who don't know nothing about roadtraffic rules in real life, and they apply their own roadrules, if it were me i would ante up the minimum age for gamemoderators and have them do a test about roadtraficrules

My in-game reports are never ever looked at by admins. I gave up on reporting in-game.

I find it hilarious (and frustrating) that i can look away for 2 seconds and instantly get PIT or smashed into head on

i remember rotterdam to amsterdam highway use to be like duisburg it was just standstill 4 lanes lol

And you guys know what's the best part?? If an admin makes a mistake and we report that to higher authority they do literally nothing and to add to this they even cover their admin's @$$ as if they never made a mistake. And if a player wants some detailed clarification on these rules work, they just say " we cannot discuss them with you since you are not a TMP staff " as if they were running " Area 51 ". And a GML ( Game Moderator Leader) says " Saying 'F U' in chat is not a bannable offence but saying idiot to someone is a bannable offence. I was like ' are u fkin out of your mind???

Honestly, I agree and disagree, My experience on ETS2/TMP has been pretty 50/50. My experience with moderation is improving in my opinion, and I sure hope it isn't just primarily luck here. Firstly, hitting the back of a truck isn't their fault and I understand that it is an accident but still, it's something you can control. While I agree that any ban over a week for a minor fender bender like that is pretty insane, it shouldn't go completely unnoticed. Secondly, the winter mod where you slide over the place isn't exactly "broken" - but I agree that it could be changed in a way that makes it easier for both parties (with and without the mod) - but in the end I really like the idea of a drivers license with points, it should really help with the incidents that occur and moderation of bad driving

I've had a good time om TMP (back when the w900 was just announced & released), but I'm also coming from a different experience. Mainly larger roads, and fewer cities. Can't say anythin' about the mods though. It took a boycott for them to understand that we can go 5mph over the speed limit, and turn right on red. Damn idiots.

I agree mate! I hit someone because I was on keyboard and the person infront of me slammed there brakes and I couldn’t do anything, and I got banned.

All these points are 100% accurate. This mod has great potential, although the moderation isn't fair at ALL. As a new player disobey I did remember getting banned for 1 week for applying my brakes 100% when there was an accident just happened in front and I've tried to avoid rear ending the person in front of me and my truck ended up hitting an oncoming truck which I've gotten punished for. Such brainless way to punish someone without knowing if the player is innocent or guilty, and even if they were trolling it's best to have a ladder system of punishment. An example is that if you're a new player you should get a warning message than a ban straight away for a 1 week or more which is excessive. After that period of being a new player, let's say a month from now you are expected to follow rules and a ban should be issued 1 day, 3 day, 14 days, etc.

I have been falsely banned for Blocking when i was rolled over on the CB Route, I was on my screen already in the F7 Menu, But due to my PC not being the best, I stayed there from them, Instead of going around me because there was no one coming the other way, They wait and ram me for no reason

I guess this is where the built in convoy functionality is better with only 8 players you can choose and make private. But then it doesn't support mods which many won't like.

2 years later: Durisburg had an overhaul which cleaned up some of the traffic to a point. Game moderation is still dogwater. Actually had a blocker at the C-D road railroad crossing (Not a mod, moron in a pilot car), took 20 minutes of people reporting and me literally PINNING the guy to a wall for a mod to come around. Winter mod related: There is fine print on the website that says you're still liable for your truck and trailer when the mod is enabled, and it is an optional mod ADDON to Frosty Winter, so you don't have to download it to be on TMP. I actually pull the physics addon before getting on an orginized convoy (I'm with a VTC as a driver). If you can't control your car with that addon, remove it

I remember a youtuber named tony747, he was driving with a moderator which he was pretty well with and probably friends then he was involved in a accident which wasn't his fault and he got banned, the moderator realized what he done and unbanned Tony and apologized.

I dont really feel the part about the break checking bs and the overhanging blocking part... It's a rule not to be on the lane when you're gonna get off the road. Next is, where do we put the limit. How far on the road is too far. Just park your truck the right way. But yes some love to report the smallest things.

3 hours after I joined, I got hit with a 7 day ban for accidentally clipping the guardrail. MY GOD!!

Two years later - it is the same old service. Sadly they have no plans on fixing it at all. BUT the moderators had become dummer or had transformed into 5 year olds. A zombie is more active than a moderator in TMP.

Honestly this helpped me out as im new to TMP and i needed to know what too look out for, now i know. thank you!

You should look up what happens to your CDL if you get into an accident, if you think you just 'pay some fines' and that's it.

Some very good points, reasonable and you nailed it.

Nah in Calais city it’s just chaotic there is always traffic jam and anybody can go flying lessons other player push and crash. Sometimes player stopped on a road not at side road and this makes traffic jam too

from my pov all i could see are bad mods and people joining that have 0 knowledge about traffic and traffic rules in general

i had the same shit, i had to go to the toilet so i pulled over with a friend of mine, he stopped behind me and i got banned for blocking the road when i was completly off the road and into the grass, i even told them i left enough space and it was my mate waiting on me and they still wouldnt remove my ban UNbelieveble

The licenses system is such a good idea.

My first day in ETS2 TMP i got lost in duisburg and got banned for driving the wrong side of the road. The moderator did not care to hear my side of the story, It was just F me.

luckily ets now added private convoys in their base game, so i guess thats just an obviously better way of playing with friends.

The main problem is Kids thats being Admins, I got banned for overtaking a truck and the incoming lane was clear, and I wasn't driving recklessly, I Appealed the proof yet they rejected it. Honestly I'm very disappointed and I don't understand that there's any alternatives to truckers MP

Straight facts, i called some bloke who rammed into me an idiot and i got banned for a week, appealed it and got 3 days off, just how ignorant mods can be in those situations

I was overtaking someone and someone spawned in infront of me so I obviously couldn't stop, I got banned for 2 weeks so I reported it then it got extended to 3 months, then I questioned the mod on it and then I got perma banned.

Me and my buddies had organized a group to troll people. We basically followed people around everywhere, annoyed them for months on end but never got banned. Yet there were people who simply rammed other people and they got instantly banned. While they got banned, me and my friends were still going on and trolling people for a long time and they never did anything to us until their public images got threatened and they had to ban us. They don't use common sense when it comes to punishments and they need to realise its a case by case basis that depends on punishments

Ive gotten banned in the first 2 days of playing the game because i was new and didnt know the rules/road rules

the worst thing for me are the cars , i ve never seen a car driving normally , they are always swerving on the road , crashing and doing all kinds of shenanigans , not a good idea to add cars in the MP

I've been playing in single player for few years, after I get my new computer, I joined TMP finally. Yes I enjoy meeting new friends there, playing with my friends and so on. But I start finding bad moderation really affect the game, they require players to follow to EU road laws and signage, also TMP rules. However, on the other hand, some of the mods said "as there were very few players around and non of them were harmed in this incident nor did they overtake anyone inappropriately" when there are someone taking shortcut in roundabout which is on wrong direction, or "Indeed the user did enter the wrong way into the fuel station. Other than that, I don't see anything else that is Reckless Driving or breaking any other rule. The user did pull put off the fuel station, and you failed to slow down in time and then go really close." Oh come on, I failed to slow down when that player come up suddenly, are you kidding me? Also, such cases are not punished, those mods omitted the severity, it's not worth a ban unless it's gonna to be shituation? To be honest, a short ban like 2~4 days would warn most of them, kicks are for minor stuff, if this is not gonna change, things would just keep getting worse because those players feel nothing besides a kick. I'm not saying there aren't good moderators, just need a change, also appreciated their effort in keeping the enviroment playable.

I have a warning on my account for ramming at a time when I hardly played the game. The video attached doesn't even have me in it...

He parked half on the road.

When i am an admin i will ban people that needs a ban

i agree with most of your points, but you mention hitting into the back of other vehicles and in your footage you are extremely close behind other trucks and like in real life you should be leave a decent gap to enable the ability to react to a driver breaking. Moderating is pretty annoying ive been doing kirky a lot recently and the amount of drivers i get who crash into me, overtake and force themselves in front of me, knock me off the road etc. He reported me for blocking the road and i might get banned, but yet he was the one being toxic not me, overtaking on a tiny road and griefing.

love tis video also it take way to long to ban someone it was a week after i was bant even not reported after a week when it was report and still got bant

I'm always having a blast on truckersmp up until I'm passing through calais

All of the issues you suggested only happen on the CD road... you only use that road because it's busy. For example, you have to go out your own way to drive on the CD road because the Satnav gives you a faster route. Driving the CD road is your own risk and it's more or less to be taken as fun to seriousness, as if you were being serious, you'd take the the motorway route which is faster and much more realistic. The moderation issue is somewhat bad but I've seen a massive improvement over the last year, if you drive correctly then you aren't gonna be banned. For example, when you said you were banned for hitting someone, you probably did something else such as overtaking them incorrectly and hitting them. Finally, when you said about them hitting the brakes, you were at fault. You also related the winter mod to being broken when the point of it is so it's like ice. I can also say after watching the clips, you hit people on many occasions, most of the time infact, you get very close to them at high speeds and fail to brake. If your reactions time are a bit slower, maybe change the brake intensity. The people in the comments who agree most likely cannot drive either and blame it on other apart from themselves. I see it all the time, the people who constantly shout recording and ban when it's their fault. Finally, it's very hard to manage such large servers and for it to be 100% calm and ok. You can't hire more moderators either, because there's also requirements that you have to fulfil to become one. Though, some points are valid, the moderators do think they are superior to everyone, which I guess you could argue are but then again like to show off their powers a lot. I can see the game moderation team needing a reform. You have to respect the other departments though, such as the support team and community moderators who are amazing, helpful and respectful people who are just players like us. They don't use their power for privilege. In my opinion, you have completely alluded all of your faults that resulted in you being banned. All the points you suggested are completely invalid and have no sense behind them. You have hearted all the comments that agree with you, but the comments that disagree with you with very valid points are either deleted or sent to the bottom of the comment section. People take this game way to seriously such as people in the comments, it's a game, enjoy it or don't play it. You also made me laugh when you had the audacity to relate the game to real life car accidents, because nothing in ETS2 and ATS2 is similar to real life driving. Edit: I'm not a game moderator and don't intend on becoming one. I just find the stated arguments are quite poorly argued and have major flaws to them.

Finally someone who understands, great vid telling the truth, been on tmp since mid 2020 and nothing changed a bit in terms of moderation

i once got banned for having a bad wheel, like why would i have to buy a different wheel?

i recently got kicked for reckless driving even tho i was parked on the side of the road

I totally agree with this, for example, I got banned for 1 week and extended for 3 more days (no reason provided for the extension) for *recklessly overtaking* some1 who stopped from 0-90 in like 2 seconds and there was another player in front of me and the guy who stopped for no reason and I needed to overatake but the admin that I accidentaly hit (I did like 1% damage) wasnt even looking at the road, if he wouldve that was an easy miss. Its my fault that *I shouldve kept distance to be able to slow down* while there were like 3 more truck behind me going 90 so if I slow down I get rammed and yeeted. After I overtake, the guy behind me, that couldnt stop in time and, as I expected it would happen, hit the one who stopped, and he was also banned but not the guy that stopped for no reason. And it was the 2nd week ive played on multiplayer so ofc I would sometimes do something stupid but still

my problem with mp is i hardly see anybody play it i only see 1 or 2 drivers going down the highway and the largest servers i can find are 400-500 people i simply just see mp as a way to get away from people cuz there is not many people you can find there
