Do you think getting a violation and been downgraded is good?

I think IF should do something about that

Why would anyone think getting a violation is a good thing?

If you receive a violation, it’s deserved. If it is not deserved then you should appeal it.

When flying with other people, it is crucial that the experience for everyone be done in mutual respect, if you decide to break that respect, you must be kicked out of that server with an impact on your grade.

If you’re doing something wrong and it’s affecting other pilots, there needs to be a disciplinary system in place. There’s no point in having an expert server if there’s no punishment as it may as well be just a casual server

If you don’t think you’ve done something wrong then you can always appeal…

I agree with the first three comments above. However, I would like to add on that I don’t believe the rules on the Infinite Flight servers are in anyway strict or harsh. They are there only to ensure civility on the servers, and as said above, maintain a degree of mutual respect that is necessary on multiplayer platforms.

Minor violations, such as over speed, only downgrade you a week (last I checked), and they serve as a simple and clear reminder what the expected behaviors on the servers are. A week off is not extreme and it’s only if you’ve repeatedly made the mistake. It’s a good learning lesson.

A major violation would only be incurred when a player has deliberately decided to take an action that disrupts the set server rules, and should be taken seriously. If a controller has made a mistake then it can be appealed.

Perhaps I misinterpreted your original post, however, these are my feelings.

If anything imo there aren’t enough violations that are automatic:

  • Violating TFRs should be automatic.
  • Taxiing through others. (Not flying though as that can happen while both pilots are AFK)

etc…

It’s just a question

I believe he was giving a little bit of sarcasm in the title.

What’s the point of asking then? The way I read it OP got some violation they’re complaining about (also connects to their “can we report ATC” topic)

I interpreted it as he was expressing his distain from receiving a violation. I don’t necessarily agree with the OP because our servers need to be policed even more in my opinion. Bur thats just how I interpreted it :man_shrugging:t3:.

Violations are a way to maintain that the IF servers have actual serious pilots, and violations are never good. (at least for me, and probably for most people) Like @Mathurin_Garcier and @MPH258 said, if you have a violation, there should be punishment, and it’s good like that.

I think this system is one of the big advantages for IF. A good control system, that’s why we like ES.

Depends if you learn from it and try not to do it again. But following the rules and getting no violations is even better :raising_hands:

I agree downgrading is a tough decision but if you think you have been given a unnecessary violation please appeal
