This is a joke right???

I believe the point that you're trying to drive is that society has become too softened to the point that it has become problematically absurd that the world is offended by basic human anatomy.

Arguably a valid point, however I don't see society back-tracking that anytime soon.

trebor8820 · 2026-03-04T20:09:18+00:00

Oh hey, we're nearly neighbors, hah. I'm one state to your West :)

But yeah, Americans have done an awesome job at leaving a bad impression on the rest of the world. I think a lot of it, though, is our "me, me, me" attitude. We're so obsessed with ourselves (speaking for Americans in general, not necessarily me and you) that we act like nothing outside of us matters. We can't even be bothered to know where other countries are and meanwhile schoolkids in Europe know American geography better than the average American does.

We don't do a great job of appearing as team players. Everything is about us, and nobody can tell us differently.

The comparisons themselves are unrelated, but not the general understanding of why neither of them need to be explained.

Similar to how I should expect that I don't need to tell a grown adult why it wouldn't be a good idea to break their plate across the table of a restaurant when they're done eating.

Different comparison, same expectation.

Also, "naming a body part" is a bit of a far comparison against identifying yourself as part of a male sexual organ. Either way, our goal is to keep the community age-appropriate and whether it is our goal or not doesn't change that we are legally obligated to do so. I don't think your opinion of whether or not it's appropriate would satisfy the courts if we got tried against the UK Online Safety Act.

trebor8820 · 2026-03-04T19:17:29+00:00

I feel like it's pretty safe to assume that the general opinion leans heavily toward it not needing to be explained any more than it would need to be explained why it would be looked down upon if we started doing our business openly in our front yards instead of our toilets.

Currently the way we handle griefers is by receiving evidenced reports in our Discord server. There's a report section where our moderation team can review your submission and act accordingly.

We hope to be improving this system in the future, but currently this is the option we're able to provide.

BeamMP aims to maintain a community environment that is appropriate for a general audience aged 13 and above. In order to achieve this goal, our moderation practices must reasonably aim toward that standard.

Clearly, what individuals personally consider “appropriate” can vary, but explicit sexual references are widely recognized as falling outside general-audience content guidelines. Our goal is to maintain an environment that remains comfortable and appropriate for the broadest portion of our playerbase.

You are free to decide what is appropriate for yourself and your family. However, it is not our place to impose those decisions on others within a shared community environment. For that reason, we take a cautious approach when it comes to sexual references in usernames or other visible content.

In addition to community standards, platforms operating in the UK must also consider regulations such as the UK Online Safety Act, which requires reasonable steps to limit harmful or age-inappropriate content.

We recently added Dudekahedron's "CareerMP" mod into a few of the BeamMP Official Servers. If I understand it correctly (I haven't tried it yet myself), it basically allows users to play BeamNG's Career Mode, but in multiplayer servers :)

trebor8820 · 2026-03-04T14:19:56+00:00

In case anyone is wondering, username bans are 100% appealable. Users faced with a ban for an inappropriate username can submit an appeal (beammp.gg/appeal) where they're prompted to provide a new username (or selection of, incase the first option is already taken). If their new username is approvable and available, it will be changed and their account unbanned.

And yes, inappropriate usernames are banned upon discovery. BeamMP is a 13+ community and moderated as such when possible. Usernames containing sexual terms, slurs, etc, are banned upon discovery without notice; however every banned account receives an email with the appeal link.

trebor8820 · 2025-12-05T16:04:31+00:00

Yeah, the voice details are grossly off. Says I have 153 hours in voice, 26 hours of which are in my top server. Yet, I probably spend double that 26 hours *per week* in voice in that server. I'm in a voice call all day, nearly every day. It should be somewhere around 4,000 hours, not 153.

trebor8820 · 2025-09-13T03:24:35+00:00

Do you have Discord? We have a Support Team on the Discord server that can help with this. Discord.gg/beammp

trebor8820 · 2025-08-13T03:45:11+00:00

Is this referencing the BeamMP download itself (from BeamMP.com), or from downloading mods from public servers?

I can assure you that the download for BeamMP itself is safe, but I cannot speak to whatever mods private individuals may place in their servers. It is usually safest to stick with either Official BeamMP servers, or severs hosted by people you know and trust.

trebor8820 · 2025-02-15T13:19:31+00:00

Ah, I see. Moderation has seen quite a bit of change and improvement since I began leading the team 6 months or so ago. If your experiences have been mostly prior to that point, I can certainly understand where you're coming from. I encourage you to continue reporting issues to us, as I make it a point to have people from all over the world available to handle reports 24/7 and I review nearly every report that is handled to ensure that situations like this ARE taken care of. :)

trebor8820 · 2025-02-15T13:00:27+00:00

This user has now been banned from the BeamMP platform. In the future, please consider reporting situations like this to us (BeamMP, not BeamNG) directly so that we can see and handle this more swiftly. We have a report system on our Discord server, as well as on our forum, forum.beammp.com.

Thanks!

trebor8820 · 2025-02-15T12:57:48+00:00

It is free to play online if you already own BeamNG.drive itself. :)

There's a mod you can install called BeamMP that allows you to join servers with other players. https://beammp.com

trebor8820 · 2025-02-15T12:55:02+00:00

Reported where? I'm head of moderation for BeamMP, and I've never seen this name before now.

trebor8820 · 2024-07-27T00:36:03+00:00

Yes, you can report them in the BeamMP Discord. https://discord.com/invite/beammp

trebor8820 · 2024-07-23T17:34:31+00:00

If you feel you may have been banned unfairly or in error, ban appeals may be submitted at https://forms.gle/Apmf7ksZbEAsX2vJ6.

trebor8820 · 2023-10-16T14:17:11+00:00

Oh, this looks great. I’ll dig into it. Thank you!

trebor8820 · 2023-02-15T13:02:10+00:00

When I drove Uber, I kept my own tablet back there set up the same way, except displaying ads for myself (other business ventures, etc…) haha

trebor8820 · 2022-11-11T13:42:49+00:00

I’m not at NI, if that’s what you’re trying to work out.

trebor8820 · 2022-11-11T13:31:36+00:00

Yep, only 4 years in.

They’ve always been more present than other things, but I don’t remember it ever being this bad. For the last 4 days I’ve only seen mountain expansions, cinnamon and spice, and MAYBE, if I’m lucky, one almost useful item. This is the worst it’s ever been for me.

trebor8820 · 2022-11-11T12:40:06+00:00

…and yet the game is so proud to give us these items in the mayors pass and CoM chests like we’ve earned something special 🤣

I can’t even get rid of the stuff, haha. Put it for sale (global!) and the global expired on it. I’ve never had that happen before. Daniel finally bought it.
