(This message, with full respect for the entire iGP staff – supermod, mods, etc. –
is addressed first and foremost to the CEO and founder of this game, and I sincerely hope he will reply personally.)

Hi Jack,
I’m not writing to complain, but to share what many of us players have been experiencing. I do this with respect,
because we all know how much passion and effort you have put into iGP Manager, and how you’ve allowed
thousands of people to enjoy themselves, connect, and build a unique community.

When I first joined the game, leagues were full, forums were alive, tournaments and cups were created every day.
There was 2D and later 3D, changes in tyre wear and other updates: people might have agreed or not, but they
kept playing, helping each other, and creating together. There was energy, enthusiasm, and friendship in the air.
Today, however, many feel that this spirit has faded. Not because of the game itself – which is still great – but
because of how the issue of farms and multiple accounts has been managed. The intention was right, but the
method left scars: sudden bans, unclear criteria, active players treated as suspects without a chance to explain
themselves.
Some concrete examples:
- A manager who dismisses staff and spends days searching the market for replacements may look inactive or like
a “farm”, when in reality they’re just trying to strengthen their team.
- Someone joining halfway through a season to build race history is not trying to cheat, but simply preparing for the
next season with staff and drivers. In the meantime, they might run on wet tyres just to avoid interfering with others
who are fighting for victory. That’s still a way of participating, not farming – we can’t put players on trial for their
intentions.
- A player who is less active because of work or personal life shouldn’t have to live in fear that every action will be
seen as suspicious.
- There is also a shortage of players: hosts themselves often add “fillers” to keep their championships alive,
but these are in turn flagged as farms or multi-accounts.
The alternative would be adding bots, but then they would have to be promoted all the way to Elite,
where, without proper management, they would only disrupt and distort race results.

On top of this, there is a language barrier: rules and explanations are often unclear, forums are scattered across
different languages, and it’s unrealistic to expect players to read and translate hundreds of posts just to
understand whether their actions are allowed.
The point is simple: iGP Manager is a game, not a job. Players shouldn’t have to live with constant fear that their
choices might be misinterpreted. We are not bots to be monitored, but people who have chosen to dedicate time
(and sometimes money) to a game they love.
That’s why we’re asking for more respect and trust. Moderators already know what the community wants: there’s
no need to reinvent the wheel, just listen to them. Players want to be treated with dignity, heard, and involved.
iGP Manager is still a unique game with huge potential, but if we want it to grow again, a shift in approach is
needed:
- Clear written rules, integrated directly into the game, so there’s no room for fear or misinterpretation.
- Progressive penalties: a warning, a suspension, a correction – before moving to a permanent ban.
- More listening and collaboration: players are not enemies, but resources keeping the game alive day after day.

No one here is a “devil”: we are people who chose iGP Manager to have fun, to relax, and to feel part of
something. We don’t want to be opponents, but allies in keeping this project alive.

I’m writing this because I still believe in it. I believe iGP Manager has a soul that goes beyond being just a game,
and that with a few changes it could once again become that place where people enjoyed themselves and felt like
part of a global family.

With respect and care,
Salvo S.

Daccordo! 👍

1.Clear written rules, integrated directly into the game, so there’s no room for fear or misinterpretation.
From my experience, the rules in iGP Manager are very clear. They are integrated into the game, and I’ve never had any doubts or confusion about them. Even my 6 years old nefew understand the rules.

- Progressive penalties: a warning, a suspension, a correction – before moving to a permanent ban.
There is no room for progressive punishment in iGP Manager in my opinion. Everyone knows exactly what is allowed and what is not in the game. There is zero tolerance for farming, and those who do not respect the rules of iGP or the League (such as car resets at the end of the season) must face the consequences immediately, whatever they may be. .

- More listening and collaboration: players are not enemies, but resources keeping the game alive day after day.
I have to disagree. The iGP crew is actually the most active, friendly, and accessible team I’ve ever seen. They already listen to the community and collaborate constantly, so players are never treated as enemies but as an essential part of the game.

Car resets at the end of season are allowed and sometimes neccesary lol. It's decided by leagues and even with that it's individual cases.

1. Could you send me the link to the official written rules? Specifically, show me the section that mentions bots, fillers, or the definition of multi-accounts within a league. Please ignore forum posts, because discussions there don’t count as official rules.

2. So, if there is no clear and specific regulation and a player unknowingly ends up in violation… the result is a permanent BAN of their account?

In my initial post, I pointed out a major issue: Each case should be analyzed individually: you don’t judge a player based on what they did in the past, but on their current situation—and before making any judgment, you should ask for clarification.

The permanent BAN may eliminate many farms, but it also drives away many active players. We all know how much time it takes to grow an account to the maximum level, and I don’t think it’s fair to use such a drastic measure even when there is only a presumption of farming.
I repeat: I’m against farming, but this is not the right way to fight it, in my opinion.

If I made a mistake, there are other options: downgrade me to PRO, remove my tokens, send me an in-game warning. That would be a more balanced approach.

Constructive proposal:

Eliminate multi-accounts and allow players to manage multiple teams under the same account. For example:

Each player has a single account.

If they want to join more championships, instead of creating additional accounts (which would then be illegal), they can buy another team with its own budget and staff.

This additional team could cost, for example, €5 one-time; the next 3-4-5 teams, €3 per year (just as an example).

This way:

Each player would have only one account and multiple teams.

Farms would become much harder because opening more accounts would require IP masking and extra complications.

Inactive players (or FARM) would be automatically deactivated by the system and would have to take action to reactivate themselves.

3. I didn’t speak negatively about the iGP staff, but about an arbitrary rule that leaves no room for reasonable interpretation or context, always applying harsh and destructive measures for the game.

Whether it’s enforced by José, Pinko, or Pallino doesn’t matter—they are simply enforcers/judges who must apply what is written. Just like in real life, the person who arrests you isn’t the judge, but the law dictates what the judge should do.

That’s why I’m addressing the CEO (JACK B.)
As I wrote in my initial post, I want this issue to be reviewed as well, along with what is already planned for the coming months.

I have the utmost respect for the entire staff, for their availability and patience in managing every aspect of the game. I understand that I might not be José’s favorite person—he’s probably one of the most criticized figures here—but I truly hope he can reconsider his opinion about me so we can have a calmer and friendlier dialogue. After all, we are people before we are players… right, José? 😉👍

4- A.A.A. The RESET rule, just like the OFFLINE rule or the TRIPLE TYRE MIX rule (and many others…), is not an iGP rule but a rule that each championship decides and writes in its own regulations. ;)

Therefore, it’s a written, readable, and clear rule: if you agree with it, you stay; if you don’t, you can leave—or you’ll be asked to leave.

I completely understand your point, and I agree that having written rules would make everything clearer and fairer for all players.

At the same time, from my experience, there is something we could call “jurisprudence” in iGP. Even if certain rules are not explicitly written in the Terms, the game has already shown in practice that farming have zero tolerance. We have seen managers banned and accounts deleted for these cases, and that sets a precedent.

I have also seen cases where rules were written and very clear—like the “NO reset at the end of the season” rule in some leagues—and yet they were still ignored. In the end, it comes down to the character and common sense of each manager: whether they choose to respect the rules written or not.
That’s why I think the safest approach is to assume that farming will always lead to the same outcome.

Your constructive proposal makes sense, and I think it could help the system be more transparent and flexible. But until then, I believe the community should recognize that even unwritten rules are valid, based on past enforcement—and that respecting them is also a matter of fairness and integrity.

In Italy there are also cases where something not fully written in the law became a real rule because of jurisprudence.
For example, the principle of good faith in contracts: even if it was not clearly written in every article, the courts applied it so many times that now it is considered an obligation in every contract.
So basically, even without being fully written, case law made it valid and binding.

Hey, just a tip 🙂 Next time, if you want to talk to someone specific (in this case the CEO) it’s better to send him a mail or open a ticket instead of opening a chat where the main reason of the chat can get lost. Peace ✌️

As I said earlier in this thread you will never get clearly defined parameters for farming since it would make it too easy to game and its a bit naive to expect iGP to do so (not having a dig just being honest).

There is already a graded system of punishment (which is clear from several threads in the forum). Some get warnings, some lose tokens and others get outright bans or indeed over time a combination of all three.

Sorry, but I think you are flogging a dead horse here.

HI,
I understand your point of view and the principle of Buonofade. I don't know why precisely, but for 1 year now I am only seeing alloys melt and championships during the closing or decline. I hope the admins will soon change this system that favors the voluntary and involuntary growth of "farm" and find a better system

As you suggest, I asked to discuss it in private, and already some time ago I had sent tickets and emails, but nobody replied. Patience I wrote something here so but just to have a minimum of attention!

Now, I give my apologies to everyone (player, mod and admin) if my tones seemed too nervous, presumptuous and angry,
I think everyone has now read. I stop here and in intact everyone now to reflect on us!

Good game continuation to everyone and good work at admin

We can close this post. THANK FOR READING ME!
