Zoners can't dock certain ships in certain systems, one case is transports above 3.6k cargo hold can't dock on house space, it is on the ID but also the game don't let you do it. So why not something similiar to freelancers? i have already said this many times, and nothing is done, i'm contantly seeing big transports flow by freelancer IDs, yesterday, for example, saw one with a BW train. it is unfair those who follow the rules, that have to fly certains IDs or certain ships because there are rules, but those who don't follow the rules there is no problem at all. I know i can report them, and not long ago i did that, but nothing was done, so report then is just a waste of time. So Instead of worrying about whether a player's english is good or not, maybe they should worry about the rules themselves.
thank you
Reports with evidence of people breaking ID restrictions will result in action. That said, this does include things like messaging people privately especially if they're found to be a new player, or if it's clearly an honest mistake or something along those lines. Reality is, not everyone goes to a forum these days. It's an antiquated community tool and times have changed. It does say to do so when you join the game server, but people do not read. However, retention is another point of discussion and so it's best to advise new players who are perhaps unknowingly breaking rules (it's obvious if there's malicious intent, and this is treated differently of course) on how to do things correctly without public sanction. The members of old are used to it and steeled to it. A newer generation may not be.
Sometimes a quick conversation with an offender solves it rather than having to escalate every minor first-time breach (compared to other rules). My point is, just because you don't see something happen, doesn't mean nothing did. If you see the same people making the same mistake, we encourage you to report it. If patterns of people not learning their lesson are found, then measures will naturally be harsher. However as mentioned days ago, not every report is successful. This is usually due to a lack of evidence, or a rule breach not actually being found.
To quickly address Deity's post - people telling others that they're breaking rules is not sanctionable behaviour. We encourage the community to help each other. However, threatening people with reports is a different story. I don't see how else someone just trying to help would be punished unless they've gone on the offensive if the defendant didn't respond in kind.
I do agree with you that IDs should limit you from purchasing ships above a specified cargo limit. Would be nice, eh. Then we'd never have this particular problem at all.
To re-iterate my earlier post - things like inconsistency and efficiency are active topics of discussion and we very much agree that it needs to improve. We do sincerely apologise for the issues caused as of late due to erroneous and overly harsh punishments. Nothing happens overnight, but rest assured it is at the forefront of staff discussions at the moment.
