Server Rules?

Hello Fcuk-ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ..... HOPE I DIDN'T MISS ANYONE <!-- s:lol: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_lol.gif" alt="" title="Laughing" /><!-- s:lol: -->

Just wondering what rules the squad play to in your server for fun and for matches
E.g to you allow base raping @ uncatchable flags, do you allow the taking of flags in the heli or stat padding in any form, just trying to get a good idea of how diferent squads deal with these issues and apply them Thx for ur help! <!-- s:wink: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_wink.gif" alt="" title="Wink" /><!-- s:wink: -->

Stat padding = No in any form, anyone been found doing this upto date has been banned.

Base raping = extremely gay but if your a special force taking out commanders utilities at main base and want to make sure they aren't repaired what you gonna do in meantime? certainly not lay there n wait. Plus if they have no other bases what else can you do? Rarely you may see one of FcUK feeling particulaly fruity *cough _B cough* and sat in a main spawn in a tank.

Taking bases in choppers = Problem solved with new patch as now if there is a chopper full of peeps hovering over a flag the only person that counts is the pilot, if all other people in the chopper dont bail out then the flag goes down at the speed of one person trying to take it. So this should put and end to squads flying round in choppers flag taking or at least slow them down somewhat as all the squad has to bail out then get back in.

What follows is my personal opinion and not to be read as official clan policy.

Mostly I tend to feel "if the game lets you do it its not against the rules" Anyone who bitches about base raping needs to get their act together and not be so crap as to let themselves be base raped in the first place, same for the former blackhawk "exploit" (just what defines an exploit anyway? seems to me those people who bitch about exploits mean any tactic that they cant figure out how to counter, when im on the other side i just find a tank and try to get a well-aimed shell into the BH for 6 kills in one )

Spawn killing - well I remember a really good pilot bombing the hell out of our side then getting miffed at me when I sat in his hangar and shot him in the back a couple of times while I waited for his plane to respawn so I could nick it. What, he expected me to just let him bomb the crap outta us again? So spawn killing is fine - you're preventing someone from utilising a resource, they can always spawn elsewhere (notable exception being when they're down to their last spawn and then you just keep pounding on em until you get the win... thats the way DICE programmed the system, thats how im gonna play it), and as has been mentioned - if you're spec ops you're meant to be in the enemy base and shooting them as they spawn is the best way to prevent them shooting you before you can blow their stuff up!

TKing is the only real thing I have an issue with. The games handling of TKs sucks or we'd have left it enabled and just auto-boot anyone who does it too much. As it is we've had to turn it off because of the number of false positives the TK system comes up with (sorry but if I run over you its your fault for not getting the hell out of my way, and if it were up to me I'd penalise the twats that drive over my mines rather than vice-versa). If you TK persistantly/obviously you're pissing everyone off and you're gone.

I've also been known to kick the occasional idiot who repeatedly drives off in a transport vehicle and leaves everyone else standing without alternative transport...

At the end of the day, we usually have to make judgement calls about stuff as admins. If we decide we dont like what someones doing, we'll warn them about it. If they keep doing it, they feel the boot. We're all on vent, if theres more than one of us online we'll discuss the boot and senior clan member present usually makes the call.
If its something blatantly obvious (a teammate TKs one of us to get a vehicle, or someone starts badmouthing one of us - its happened before and most likely the idiots didnt bother reading just whose server it is on the loading screen), then the warning/discussion stage will probably be bypassed - TK/bitch at an admin at your own risk.

The other thing we'll boot for is to make room for clan members if the server is full. In that case theres no real rules as to who gets booted. If i have the time I'll find someone whos idling, has a negative score, or is causing trouble, but if theres a few people trying to get in and im busy I'll pretty much click someone at random. Only thing I'll say there is if you're not paying towards server upkeep you've got no "rights" to a slot on the server. We happily let the general public in on any slots we dont need at that moment in time and welcome the opportunity for new faces to shoot at, but the second we need that slot back - sorry but you're just keeping the seat warm for a paying member at the end of the day. It sucks, but its the model EA are forcing us into with the whole ranked server thing, so if anyone doesnt like it they should go log into an EA official server rather than a clan-paid for one. I read a post that made me sick a couple of months back - some twat on a BF2 forum was bitching about clans being able to kick to make space for members and how they should realise they dont own the server but its really EA's.... if that were the case then no clan anywhere would bother paying for a ranked server and the entire community would be limited to the 30 or so or whatever it is now) servers EA provided for Europe instead of the 300 or so being paid for privately, and everyone would be waiting for hours to play on ranked. We paid for a ranked server purely because it was impossible for us to all get on the same public server at the same time, so damn right we'll boot people to make room...

ok rant over

Hi and thx for the feed back, i agree with most of what you say, it seems to be just a few that spoiled in the past, E.g when they use to fill the chopper and take all the flag b4 you even spawned, but we have a timer now which is better for the game and even better with this new patch c ya l8rs!
