Re: Debate: The BFRoC -- Are they a step in the right direction? [Cool heads only]
The authority should be EA's, not the admins, aside from them being allowed to kick people for intentional TKing/griefing/cheating. Ranked server rules should be few and very specific. If you wish to run a ranked server it should be required that it be run a certain way and the admins should have very limited powers, and shouldn't be allowed to dictate how the game is played. But like Fin said, since the rules aren't enforced, they are ignored. When there are servers that literally have 'Knife/Pistol only' or 'Timepad!' in their titles, you know that EA is doing bugger all about it. The RoE is a good idea, but it's not implemented and instead of 'illegal' servers getting shut down, innocent players like moose or tim get wiped for anomalous, yet 100% legit, stats.
But consider this: Does EA get money from individual players or from ranked server rentals? That's why they have no problem wiping a player as opposed to shutting down a revenue stream.
