Re: BFROE created to shut us up

guarantee if you make a report to our program, once the system finishes tracking and gathering the information for a set amount of days it will get kicked out to one of my guys who will review all of the information..

thanks for your concern tho..

Re: BFROE created to shut us up

I am really confused, though why everyone claims they busy and are 'reviewing' the reports of hackers, cheats , padders, etc
why NO ONE WITH ANY AUTHORITY
simply does a browser search for K/P. High points
and see for your self and shut them down?????????????????????????????????????????????? ?????????????????????????????????????????????????? ???????'

after all - MOST players actually have NO IDEA the ROE even exists
yet they are punished, and the
SERVER owners, who SIGN UP to follow the rules - are left Scott free !
seem like the the 'police' (which I an supposed to be part of)
are trying to emulate the STUPID parts of EA / DICE
this is not meant as a FLAME, but I cannot fathom why the lunacy persists

seems I have come to realize the emperor has no clothes

my post above , was followed by Indian Scouts post

excuse me? who said you were part of this program??

and your concerns have been voiced several times to EA about all the illegal servers..

almost on a daily basis

well, as Server Owner (and part of Private Server Lounge Board on this Forum)
and Sr Admin in our BF2cc (and on Bf2cc beta test group), and Clan Manager, and Website Owner and Clan Forum Administrator) and as concerned member of the BF2 community at large (who is often told to 'police ourselves'), I not only draw my (our authority from these included groups, but more specifically, as the ROE states so MANY MANY times, the SERVR ADMINISTRTROR is charged with multiple responsibilities, to prevent infractions and to report them when encountered. (see below)

now, if that does not make us part of the encrypted police (because if we do not catch and report violators, our server may be de-listed, I spend more than 90% of my personal in-game time acting as the COP on the beat - all without compensation

the following are cuts from the ROE, with BOLD and Italics placed there by me for emphasis. You (and the public readers of the Forum) can perhaps get a feel for the obligations imposed on the server administrators. As most of us accept this responsibility, to ensure the global enjoyment of this game, if we do not POLICE our own severs, then not only is the game lessened for our server visitors, we risk the wrath of Dice ourselves

2. RULES AND POLICIES FOR ALL SERVER ADMINISTRATORS MANAGING RANKED SERVERS (PUBLIC OR PRIVATE)

These are rules and policies that all people running ranked servers are expected to observe. failure to do so can result in the server being delisted.


These standards are achieved and maintained by ensuring that all server providers and server administrators are abiding by a common set of rules as determined by EA.

Server Administrators may not implement or enforce server rules on ranked servers that prohibit players from using any roles, kits, weapons, vehicles or other features of the game while playing on their server. Examples of such rules that would violate the conditions of use are:

(a) Preventing any players from being Commander or Squad Leaders.

(b) Preventing any players from using certain vehicles such as jets, helicopters or tanks.

(c) Preventing any players from using commander assets (artillery, vehicle drop, UAV or scans).

(d) Preventing any players from using certain weapons or items (such as flashbangs or C4) or enforcing a “pistol only” or “knife only” server rule.



Examples of such rules that are acceptable are:

(a) Players may not use explicit, offensive or racist language in-game.

(b) Players may not impersonate clan members or other server administrators.

(c) Players may not deliberately performing actions that hinder their own team (such as last-minute team-swapping to increase scores or statistics, excessive team-killing, destroying friendly vehicles, attacking team-mates,

deliberately placing themselves in a situation so they cause another player to team-kill them, using a vehicle while being the Commander that prevents them from performing any Commander functions (jet, etc.) or placing vehicles to block their own runways.

(d) Making attacks on enemy main bases (flags that cannot be captured), including artillery strikes, vehicle drops to block runways, bombing runs with aircraft or sustained infantry attacks. (Note that specific attacks targeting the enemy commander’s asset buildings are always allowed, even if they are within the enemy main base.)

(e) Using transport helicopters to quickly capture all flags with no attempt to engage the other team (flag hopping).

(f) Using C4 explosives on fast-moving vehicles to destroy other vehicles (C4-ramming)

(g) Ignoring requests from Server Administrators or abusing Server Administrators.

3.1 Use of Cheats or Hacks

3.1.1 Players may not change (hack) any core games files or effectively change game settings by employing external programs or cheats for the purposes of giving themselves an unfair advantage over other players. This would include but not limited to:

(a) *** and other 3rd party software.

(b) Modification of weapons code, aka Tank turrets exploit.

(c) CVAR hacks which would make players appear Neon

(d) CVAR hacks that let players see thru walls or buildings

(e) Mini-Map hack so all players are visible

(f) Modification of Player Names which would alter their size or colors.

3.2 Game Exploits

3.2.1 Players may not use or exploit game mechanisms to artificially boost their score ("stats padding") and Server administrators may not knowingly allow or encourage this activity on their servers.

This would include but not limited to:

(a) Using tag teams to take turns to kill and revive each other in turn (using knives, pistols, etc.)

(b) Playing on Knife and/or Pistol only Servers

(c) Playing on Knife only Servers

(d) Playing on “High Points” Servers

(e) Playing on “No Artillery” or “No Armour” Servers (except when using Infantry only server-side option)

(f) Using Vehicles removed from battlefield for purposes of artificially inflating points

(g) Turning boats upside down and constantly repairing them

(h) Glitching inside buildings (using building model glitches to attack out without risk of being hit).
