What is the dumbest rule you seen on a server?

[Catziggy]

You might be an exception then.

Our experience is that Fighting Commanders cannot do as well as non fighting commanders because
1. they are not atching the map all the time... as well as his own assets he can see spotting from his team so he watch whats ging on there to help if needed.
2. If your in a fire fight theres always a chance you can die no matter how good you are. Thats 20 seconds you cannot support your team and people can pod/ travel between flads etc in that amount of time.

We kick Combat commanders if there is no need for them to fight. On occasion if one side is riping the other apart we give some leeway to the winning commander to join in but if theres any sign the tables are turning we expect them to do the job properly again.

Again its individual servers rules. Not one of the crazy rules I think this thread is trying to discuss.

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.

If all the players would do that, it would take away half the threads on this forum.:laugh:
Seriuosly, I don't understand why some people feel it is their God given right to play however they want on a server. Checking gametracker this morning there are 2191 BF2142 servers. Find one that has the rules you like, whether there are 2 rules, 20 rules, or no rules and stay with it.

I swear I went into an American server and saw "No walking more than 10 meters from spawn point or kick!" I lol'ed.

well if your living is moscow i dunno why you would be on that server in the first place. your ping must have been horrid

Well i guess one of the lamest is landing on roofs with a beacon.If you place a beacon next to a building its easy to land on. But it isn't pod surfing across the map.
If anyone remembers the debate about it, DICE said it was part of the game and they had no intension on taking it out.
Even in the fun battle with DICE vrs server owners, DICE was always on roofs, lmao

So i guess if the DICE guys decided to do some pub play they would get banned on some of these servers, hah.

Yup. Kicked first with a warning.

Maps like Gibralter are designed around bottlenecks. Its why its such a popular map. The hard slog to get past them and the effort, Teamplay, sheer luck and of course a tad of skill.

Makes a mockery of the game play if someone can fly horizontelly over everyones head to capture flags at the back.

Are you talking about pod surfing or podding next to your beacon on a building?

Pod surfing past a bottleneck completely ruins the gameplay in my opinion. However, podding onto a roof next to your beacon to try and help your team get through the bottleneck is fine in my book. Makes for some fun rooftop battles and adds a new dimension to the game.

[Catziggy]

Sorry My answer wasn't clear on that one. Pod surfing. Kick then ban.

Landing on a roof with a beacon is fine by me. Used it on FOB to get gold knife.

I once read on a random server: No name must start with E. I almost died laughing.

That's funny you bring them up. One of my clanmates got banned on their server for no reason that he could tell. So, another mate joins without our tags and plays a couple rounds. The first round he was on their side and took the gold. The next round he changed to the other team and went after their tags. He got two of them and enough others to get his bronze collectors. Then he got banned for hacking.

From our forums:

These guys are a bunch of posers. I wsa doing great on their server, on their team, and no one minded. But they kept kicking people for cheating so the other tema was always short a guy. So I switched sides and was tearing them a new one when I get banned for hacking something. I did get my collectors badge of of one of the IDS guys. Got him like 6 times and the other one twice.

Oh, and I like how they ban you if you aren't in a squad and you can't hop flags. I wonder how you know which order to take them in on a map like Belgrade or Cerbere where they aren't in a straight line?

We have a ban list of clans that contains clans that we have banned from our servers. The reason for this is because we have seen one or more members cjeating in our server

As soon as I saw that, I knew you were right. :laugh:

On a side note, I do like that server rule, join a squad or kick. I mean, how hard is it to go to the squad screen, go eeny meeny minny moe, then click a button?

There was this server that had this rule.....donno what happened to it.....I remember rounds were over really quick and it was very fun.
