I'm asking you...honestly...do you really think it is easy to programm essentially an A.I. which perfectly identifies all of this shit so no one will complain?! This will never happen. Accept it, people will always try to exploit the system. The more people play the more idiots are likely to appear. 

People will also always find new ways to cheat, should online multiplayer games simply accept it and not ban cheaters nor write more sophisticated cheat prevention software?

By introducing a SR rating, PD has put it on themselves to make it be worth something. It will never be perfect, yet atm it's not even trying. It doesn't even look at secondary collisions. Get hit from behind, sure it's at least intelligent enough to not penalize you for that if it was a hard hit in a place you shouldn't be going that fast. Yet if that hit causes a chain reaction, ie makes you bump the person in front of you off track, you get the 10 sec penalty...

It's working quite well, better than any competitor game. I don't think you give them enough credit. Those penalties usually aren't a big issue unless they happen very late in the race so you won't be able to "brake them off" at the upcoming corners.

Due to this system and also generally I believe, people in GTS usually behave much better and drive much more civilised, than in other racing games I've experienced online. Maybe it's our middle-European servers and this is different in other places around the globe. (Of course the French/Italian/Spaniards connection are just as crazy in the game as they are in real life on their roads..haha.
