Coming from the Best Driver Names thread, and Rob Musgrove rightly pointed out that this game is for all ages, I expect inappropriatly named drivers to be banned, and in case necessary, with it, their managers. 

A driver named Adolf Hitler, or Homosexual? What is this?
Please clean this game. There's no excuse.


Here's a list for you to consider to start a naming policy and consider inappropriate:

Racial/Ethnic/National
Violence
Sexual Orientation
Obscene/Vulgar
Harassing or Defamatory


I want to take this game seriously, but am only able to do so if the admins do equally.
Indifference is a tragedy.

I second that motion.

Good post Jaap. One thing to add to this.

This is a game that iGP are trying to get people to invest in. It won't go down well with potential investors if Jack / Andrew or others are showing clients and these names are in the system..


Whats done is done for now. So if it is ok with the staff, could we PM Aaron with any names we see in the system and he changes them to any generic name from the country.

EG. All of the British driver. Andy Smith, Peter Smith, Frank Smith... All of the Dutch names - Marcus Van Peers, Ronald Van Peers... and so on.

Just to make it easier for Aaron to re-name them.


He will also see the date that it was created and then he can send out a generic PM to the manager warning them that the driver has been changed..

If it is after a certain date. The manager gets auto banned.. (Once an official post has been made from the iGP owners.)

Yes as I said in the other thread, this needs to be addressed.
I am in agreement with Rob's suggestion but there might be alternative ideas on what to do.

What people post on a forum is one thing but tacitly condoning abuse on a public game is quite another!

This is covered under the iGP's EULA section V. - Code of Conduct - item E

I wanted to check in and let the people on the thread know that we are now aware of the issue and have begun the process of making changes. Also, to save anyone looking here the time of opening the section of the End User License Agreement that Jake is referring to above, here is the relevant section:

"...The following are examples of behaviour that warrant disciplinary measures: ... Transmitting or communicating any content which, in the sole and exclusive discretion of iGP Games, is deemed offensive, including, but not limited to, language that is unlawful, harmful, threatening, abusive, harassing, defamatory, vulgar, obscene, sexually explicit, or racially, ethnically, or otherwise objectionable"

If you see a driver name (or forum post, team name, etc) which you find offensive, send a ticket in to the helpdesk and we will look at it and take any action we feel is appropriate.

I think banning the manager is a little over the top, lol.

Not the ones who have been stopped now.

Now it's been made fully aware off, then it should be made as an offical message. If a manager changes after an official message, then they get banned.

If they are big enough to change the name (knowing that the change is just trying to be cleaver.) then they can read a website and it's rules!



I run my own site and even if others are talking about things like torrents.. it will be my site closed down my the host... So it's up to me and the admins to keep it clean.

I think banning someone for 1 breach of the T&C's is a judgement call based on it's severity.

With regard to the above, I would have thought that a warning after the first incident would be sufficient.

Yeah I agree they should have a warning before any corrective action is taken as such.

How the bloody fuck is Poppy Enis offensive? I understand how it shows in races but http://igpmanager.com/play/?url=team-driver/3635

Why have you not complained about that? No one's even made him

+1 I strongly agree. In Top Eleven. there are bunches of renamed players that looks offensive, and they didn't get banned. Even a team called "F*** You" are also there as well. Why this is have to be banned? I don't agree!!!

And another thing is about normal names, they should have more variant and more REALISTIC!!! How comes there will be over 1000+ people with a surname Vettel??? And I can see bunches of Nico Rosberg in the game!!! Is this game logic?

Probably because there isn't a Huge database of generic names from the countries.

Whatever is deemed offensive or inappropriate should be at the discretion of the devs or whoever they put in charge or such matters
