Davids suggestion helps with the unfairness of someone being penalized for being punted into a pileup that gives them 8 incidents by dropping that one shocker of a result, and is one of the only suggestions in this thread that is realistic within the confines of SRS' limitations, how it's structured and it's position in sim racing.

I don't agree. If your in a pile up now, you get double punishment. You dropped a lot of places and you get multiple incident points, so a lot -3 points. So by dropping that point penalty, it would make that situation better. And by punishing the people that cause these pile-ups in the first place, would be a btter solution. You can use the protest form for that.

And for these 1 hour races, you could use the incident average and/or the rating of the driver to include or exclude these people.

Real cars have issues too, so I wouldn't do that.
For punishing people to do anything to help with championships being ruined by incidents it would hinge on stewarding in a timely manner so a result can be corrected before the next round, which would require a staff of stewards to deal with the volume of reports that would come in. This is a free, automated service, just think about that for a second. Some leagues manage this by using members of the community as stewards but those leagues don't run anywhere near the volume of races that SRS does and they still always struggle to have enough staff for stewarding. The only realistic suggestions are to drop the points for an incident and hope it doesn't increase the punt frequency or drop each drivers worst race from a series. Using incident avg for splits could be an option but it would need to be reworked to be a moving mean instead of every race ever. Changing anything would be a large undertaking which would be hard without a financial incentive, is anyone willing to put their money where their mouth is and donate to the cause?
