BF2 Ranked Server Policies.

[parish]

Has anyone actually seen and read this document? I cannot for the life of me find the document, nor a link to ANYTHING saying what is and is not allowed on a ranked server. I dont want to read what others think. I have foud plenty of threads where people speculate as to what is and is not "officially" allowed by EA, but has anyone seen the document outlining these things?

Does EA have it posted somewhere on the net? I have looked and cannot find it anywhere. I remember reading something at one point when we got our ranked server, but nothing like this magical document where EA lays out the law of the land about what can and cannot be done with a ranked server.

A link would be greatly appreciated.

Re: BF2 Ranked Server Policies.

I suggest everyone read this document. It makes it easier to understand what admins on ranked servers can and cannot do. Make special note of this section:

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.

Those aren't stricly enforced rules...it is only the ones mentioned for RANKED servers...note the "COULD" part before they list those.....

That's my whole point. People are always bitching about being on a ranked server and the admin booted them for one of the things listed above to be recognized by EA as reasons that players could be booted/banned for. If everyone noticed them and paid attention to the fact that admins on RANKED servers can ban/boot you for these reason, then maybe they would not bitch about it as much and give us all a rest.

You're right - those rules are technically valid. But that doesn't make the phenomenon any less stupid.

Re: BF2 Ranked Server Policies.

kinda sad that a usefull thread like this dies and others whining about n00b t00bers and the new patch and etc etc get like hundreds of views. Oh well, the next time someone bitches about server sules, I will point them back to this thread.
