Well, admins get frustrated too, and when I renjoined I wasn't kicked again, so that was good i guess - But I agree, I don't think it should be a kickable offense either, but maybe that's just how the rules are at that particular server. If you want to crash out other people to get ahead, I think you should be able to. It's not a good way to make friends, it is a good way to make many enemies - Like I said I try and stay away from others as much as i can.
Any chance this was in the [sKC]-clan racing server ??
We do have rules that forbid ramming. Our server is all about good racing, no silly falling maps and very litlle dm-maps. We do not tolerate ramming on purpose cuz this just ruines the gaming experience for a lot of people. It's true that desync and lag are a problem and sometimes u will get smacked off the road cuz of that but that doesnt justify ruining someone else's race on purpose just for the "fun" of it imho. All we do is kick people and warn them but if they are really not willing to stop the ramming they will get banned. Warpers and laggers are also immediately kicked and there's a 200ms pinglimit. I guess it really depends from server to server. Some will tolerate it and thereby attracting a lot of the noobies and some will not...
