Re: Ranked server cans/cants ?

yeah this is a tricky subject, i know its your server and can run it the way u want, but you also have to go by EA's rules when u purchased the server from them or an affliate. dont take this the wrong way but i think its stupid to knit pick over stuff like this. you should focus more on people that tk on purpose or the runway whores that stand in front of planes and cheaters and stat padders.

Rules of Engagement

1. GLOBALLY ENFORCED RANKED SERVER RULES
These are rules that all admins/players using ranked servers are expected to observe and are set by EA under the EULA.
a. You may not arrange for the exchange or transfer of any pirated software or other contraband while you are on our servers or these Services, this will lead to immediate ban.
b. You may not market, promote or advertise anything, or make any other form of solicitation (including pyramid schemes and chain letters) on any of our services. Clan recruiting is not prohibited.
c. You may not change (hack) any core game files or employ external programs or cheats for the purposes of giving yourself an unfair advantage over other players.
d. Server admins may not change any game settings defined as standard for ranked servers (ticket ratios, server password, round time, etc.)
e. Server admins may not explicitly or implicitly (by actions) enforce restrictions on vehicles or weapons that players can use while on your server (e.g. knives only, aircraft prohibited except for clan members, etc.)
f. Server admins may not explicitly or implicitly (by actions) enforce restrictions on roles or kits that players can use while on your server e.g. Commander, Squad Leader, Spec Ops, etc.)
g. Server admins may not use non-standard maps or modified versions of standard maps.
h. Players may not use or exploit game mechanisms to artificially boost their scores ("stats padding") and Server admins may not knowingly allow or encourage this activity on their servers.
i. Players may not Impersonate EA ADMINS.
2. EA OFFICIAL PUBLIC SERVER RULES
These are rules that EA official server admins enforce to maintain friendly, disciplined servers and are in addition to the global rules defined above.
a. You may not use any offensive or sexually explicit language in chat or voice mode. Not adhering to this rule will result in a warning followed by a kick or ban.
b. You may not use foul or slanderous language involving race, gender, sexual preference, religion or creed. Not adhering to this rule will result in a warning followed by a kick or ban.
c. You may not deliberately hinder your own team by Team-killing, destroying friendly vehicles or assets, or acting in such as way as to cause team mates unavoidable deaths or team-kills.
Not adhering to this rule will result in a warning then kick (for wounding or damaging) or an immediate kick or temporary ban for deliberate kills.
d. You may not display abusive behavior towards administrators. If you feel that you have been treated unfairly, you may lodge an appeal on the official forums /ticket system (www.bf2rankedservers.com).
Not adhering to this rule will result in a warning followed by a kick or ban.
3. LOCAL (PRIVATELY RENTED) SERVER RULES
These are rules that are not enforced upon EA's public servers but may be in use upon privately rented servers. These rules are decided by the administrators for those servers and as long as they do not contradict any global rules enforced by EA are considered valid for those servers.
Examples of valid local rules *could* include:
- No artillery fire or bombing runs on main (uncapturable) bases.
- No prolongued or sustained attacks on main (uncapturable) bases (i.e. spawncamping).
- No using the Transport Helicopters to take flags (Blackhawk whoring or flag hopping).
- No impersonating clan members.
- No using C4 on jeeps or other fast moving vehicles to take out other vehicles.

maybe this will help..

They are just an example of some rules you can setup on your private ranked server.

We have these rules.
Don't attack uncappable mains till all flags are taken. Spec Ops can blow commander assets then should leave unless all flags are taken. This also applies to arty'ing the uncaps.
Commanders don't fly/fight on the front lines, either resign or command properly.
Don't tkpunish for an accident or if it was your fault.
Play hard, play "fair" and have fun.
No disruptive gameplay.

Simple rules that we find increase the enjoyment of all players. The fav. rule is the not attacking uncaps. It gives players a chance to actually spawn without an instant death from a plane or a tank whore etc.

They all appreciate the others and you may be amazed to find you don't get punished for an accident. Remember if it was an accident make sure you quickly say sorry. Remember the playing fair and disruptive gameplay. This will be determined by admins. EG is someone always rams on purpose everytime it will be considered as being unfair or disruptive gameplay. Accidents happen but repeated use of this tactic may get you kicked though you will be warned 1st.

Re: Ranked server cans/cants ?

totally agree if all cappable flags are taken the enemy team deserves what they get

let the bombs and artillery rain down. so satisfying after twenty minutes of hard commanding to get nice easy end to the map :)

Re: Ranked server cans/cants ?

most of these rules are just common sense, even tho we always get, "we pay for this server and will do as we please" till they get delisted..
