Ontopic: just put in a ping-kicker. More than 350 ping average? - kbai!

I agree that there has to be an autokick if players get over a certain ammount of ping. I think 400 would be kickeble to give Aussies a change to play

An automatic kick function has been avoided for many reasons, as it does far more harm than good. The crew is more than capable of kicking those with high pings, but players should also report these players. (Officially, our ping limit is 500, but most of us kick for pings above 600 or 700 to be more fair.) However, I would not recommend going through the player list and just browsing for players with high pings to report. This is quite lame and unappreciated. Unless the player is actually trying to fight someone and lagging up a storm, there is no need to report them. Let them drive around and have some fun, as they're clearly not causing any trouble. Anyway, you should also understand that players with high pings don't necessarily lag. I can't tell you how many times I've fought someone with a ping of 1,000 and killed them with a fair amount of ease. (Some don't even lag that bad.) Oh, and be aware that players experience peaks during gameplay. What does this mean? It means that players' pings can sometimes get to very high levels, but it's only temporary and quickly returns back to normal. Why do you need to know this? Well, if you were to report a player for high ping, you might not see the player kicked. If this happens, it's because the player was just experiencing a peak and their actual ping was much lower (or because we abuse and never listen to our players). In any sense, it's the lag that we're after here, not necessarily high pings. Again, an automatic kick function would be terrible and I am wholeheartedly against the idea. We can handle high pings, but you, as players, can also do your part and report them.

Thanks for that TEF, I was having trouble understanding!
I only speak English and French, you see...

it's not just the ping,there are alot of low pingers with shitty pc's that lagg like hell to.

Exactly.
