What is the dumbest rule you seen on a server?

[Skates]

Also, there are no rules in war.

If I had a nickle for every time someone said that on these forums I'd retire. Last time I checked, this was still a "game" and not a "war." As such, it is nice if it is fun for those involved, again going back to the idea that it is only a "game." If you actually have some skill, you could wait back, away from the spawn point, and just defend a CP or Silo. If you have to sit there and kill someone as they spawn in to get your kills, maybe you should go back to single player and learn some skills.

Here we go again. Yes I think Spawnkilling and base raping are fun... Dice would not allow it in the programming. yayayaya. whatever.

If a server has rules about protecting players vunerable to game mechanics then respect them. If you think they are dumb play on the zillionth least popular servers that allow them. Most of the top played servers will ban your *** straight away if you act like a smacktard and ruin the game for a lot of players.

hehe I like skates's replies a lot. His server is probably cool!

I was going to post about the two things that really bug me when people talk about Battlefield. This is one of them. The other is when people who think that because Battlefield is a game about shooting and killing people that they should be entitled to swear, because it's too hard to just not swear.

What cracks me up is there is no-one stopping them from swearing at the top of their lungs, except maybe mom and dad, as long as they don't hold down the VOIP key. Even then, the SL could kick them from the squad or if they are SL, just leave their squad. However, in the middle of this "intense war" they feel the need to pause long enough to type out their frustration in the in game chat, just so everyone can know how "serious" they are and that they are a "real soldier.":laugh:

I just love the Auto-Adim word filter. Ours is set that the first time, it warns them, the second it kicks them, and the third it bans them. (All has to happen on the same day) I can't tell you how many times I see in chat someone type "#@%$#!@#" only to get a warning followed by them typeing "^@#&$@(^ isn't a bad word." (Player gets kicked and then returns.) At this point they type "you stupid @$&(^&#@^$ admin!!!!" at which point they get banned for arguing with a computer setting.:rofl:

War game**

I've never had any problem in Titan mode about spawn killing, only conquest. If there ARE rules on a conquest server not to spawn kill, I try to hold off. But think about matches, what happens in matches? There is no rules about spawn killing.

What happens is you got anywhere from 12 to 32 players jumping around like bunny rabbits tossing nades all round.

But their is a difference in spawn killing and uncap attacking. If you keep spawning and dieing in one spot and bitching about it. Then thats your problem. Their is other spawns, that is if you have a flag. If your team have all flags different storey, then fair game in my opinion. What you supposed to hold off and let them get a flag? naah bleed those tickets out.
Also remember, these are "pub" servers not match servers. You want to keep people in the server, not run them off with a bunch of spawn raping tards.(that is with the no uncap attacking until all flags are taken)

Matches are a different story. Then you have, hopefully, a team working together that knows what each persons role is, what routes they are taking, who is covering where, etc.. We have only played a couple of friendly scrims against other clans and the rules for those is that everything goes. However, on pubs, you generally only get a small handfull working together and the rest are who knows what. For those, we have rules in place, like no base raping, spawn killing to help keep players in the server. In a clan match, you rarely see one side so disorganized that they can't fight their way out of an uncap.

I'm not trying to degrade the way you guys play, I'm just saying it's the way I'd prefer to play; like it was real. If those are server rules, I'll follow, but I'll also try to avoid unless it's admin'd well.

[Paudman]

RiP server rule:

Using SAAW to kill air-vehicles is forbidden and will get you perma-banned.

They run a 24-7 suez and they whore the Talon so I guess you are screwed if you are PAC.

Yeah that's the 24/7 Suez / Minsk Titan server - the same two sad F**ks get both gunships then shoot everything that moves. The SAAW doesn't cause screen jump as they claim - it just spoils their fun. I dared to raise this point on the screen and got booted and banned immediately.
What sad assholes. :laugh:

[Salad Snake]

Wow. People are crazy...

How many games are controlled like the examples above?

"No passing the football more than 15 meters"
"Rooks cannot move across the chessboard or ban"
"Spiking the ball not allowed in this volleyball game"
"Passing other race cars only allowed by admin"

Lol that would make a great thread

"What if sports had server rules?"

Rule 1: "Dunking the basketball is a noob tactic and will get you kicked"

Rule 2: "Only the goalee can block a soccerball"

Rule 3: "Throwing a curveball is considered hax"

hehe I like skates's replies a lot. His server is probably cool!

Oh they are.

Take the argument that the game lets you so why not do it, base raper, spawn kill, etc...

1. My elbows work, why can't I use it to take out the guy going for the dunk?

2. My hands work, why is the goalie the only one that can use them?

3. I have great control over my curveball, why can't I drill that #1 slugger on the other team, I'm going to walk him anyway? I shouldn't get kicked from the game?

Lol, I can just imagine......

"Beaning the batter is in the game, if they didn't want us to do it, they would have put something there to defend the batter! Since there isn't, I should be able to bean as much as I want!"

....and watch that guy get mobbed....

Only two server rules make sense to me:

1. No cheating bots or exploiting game glitches
2. No continuous spawn killing *inside* uncap flags in conquest, because you're actually exploiting the game for not allowing the other players to spawn in exact positions (like behind a corner)
3. No heavy fighting for commanders, only defend or camping somewhere, because in practice they're not commanding (no reason for taking the seat)

Every time I see a server rule I find acceptable, I make sure not to break it, otherwise I just leave for a real server.

Hey that's three!!:laugh: jk

Seriously, I see no problem with Commanders fighting and commanding. I've seen it done well, and I do it myself. I have no problem throwing out orders and responding to requests while I'm fighting.
