=FaRT= Clan New Server Options

[=FaRT= skutaboy]

To all our friendly clans, I would just like to inform you that our new server is up and running: IP = 8.9.11.153:16567

Three map rotation currently set for Mashtuur City, Strike at Karkand & Sharqui Peninsula.

It would be cool if you visited us to help it get established.

Thanks,

ahh subjective interpretation of rules.. I think the old rules that we've used on BF2 and the new ones for BC2 are written in a way to cope with this as much as possible. But for things that are subjective e.g. the servers that say "NO BUNNYHOPPING!" - just how many jumps over what period of time consitutes bunnyhopping? Obviously rules of this sort are open to bias from admins.

To be hoenst we operated no baserape on karkand.. untiol we added automated tools that warned and kicked atuomatically depending on distance, prior to this it was admin discretion, however we did include a full breakdown of the rules including maps etc., on the website. I personally have kicked people without warning - the rules were on the loading banner and ingame spam, often they came back and did it again.

The exception was low ranked players where I may have warned first if I thought there was a chance they were unfamiliar with rules like this.

To be honest we never gave VOIP warnings - we operate from the UK and as such always had a contingent of players who couldn't speak english.

However ultimately if someone is kicked by an admin then the arbitration still has to come from within the clan rather than an independant source (although this makes me think the use of a non-clan independant arbitrator might be useful in disputes - will discuss with =SM=), but in the end the ones who pass the judgement are the clan and if they uphold the ban.

Now the important point of your post above is that you're saying you would kick/ban based on certain criteria, however the clan who run the server in question may not have the same criteria - they may act upon the same offences but how they act upon them may be different to the way you would. They might beleive banning on a first offence is completely appropriate (hell, we always banned for 1st offence on racism and we only lifted 1 ban for that in 3 years) and just because you wouldn't run a server in that manner doesn't necessarily mean that they're wrong. Just a different way of doing things.

However you can't exepect them to accept your opinions of how a server should be run as being correct, so ultimately
