We are about to modify our Server RULES for COD4

We would like everyones input towards this, so we can get the best feel towards our NEW RULES.

Thanks in ADVANCE.

SERVER BEHAVIOUR:
Probably the biggest thing. There are a bunch of common sense rules that most people try to abide by. They are sometimes kickable offences depending on the circumstances. I will list the ones I can remember off hand.

Teamkilling - I'm sure everyone knows what Teamkilling means. Basically DON'T do it on purpose. This will see you kicked pretty fast.

Accidental TK's - If you accidentally TK someone, generally its a good idea apologise. Just a quick "sorry bro" will do. 99% of the time this will result in your victim thinking 'oh ok it was a mistake' and not punishing you.

Punishing for TeamKills - This function is in the game to protect against intentional Teamkillers, NOT to give angry young boys the power to retaliate when annoyed. If you get teamkilled and you choose to punish the person, they will be kicked from the server after a certain number of PTK's. DO NOT ABUSE THIS FUNCTION. USE IT ONLY FOR BLATANT TEAMKILLERS (ie ones who join, then shoot everyone on their waiting for a plane to spawn). People will know if you do, and you will find yourself the victim of a few e-gangbangs, and pretty much outcast/labelled a tard for a long time. (Note: Punishing for petty reasons is utterly retarded and ruins people's gaming experience. You need your team mates help in this game, so why get them kicked for mistakes?)
Heres a few pathetic reasons for being Punished I have come across so far

• It's happened to me 3 times this round - Quite possibly the most flawed logic ever
• You didnt say sorry - Perhaps thats because they are still fighting
• You should have checked first - sometimes you fire out of reaction
• You should have checked your map - (after being bombed in an enemy base) Come on.. you put yourself amongst enemy, you're bound to take SOME friendly fire

Sadly this list grows daily, as does the list of 'Morons to watch for'. Please don't become one of these morons. Forgive every time. Also, there are lot of Admins around, all wearing clan tags at the moment, (A Few w/o tags as well) and they do take note of who's doing what, so don't fuel the fire and start Punish fights.

Vehicle Stealing - If someone jumps out of a tank for example, to repair it, under NO circumstances is it ok to jump in and take off.

Plane Camping - Standing around with 9 other team-mates, waiting for a plane to spawn, then running and/or killing, to get it. Generally frowned upon, but with artillery available to enemy commanders, I cant see this being a very popular pastime.

Taxi-ing - Try not to use a tank to take yourself 200m to other vehicles eg a Plane etc etc. Just run. Other people want the hardware you are being lazy with. Likewise, don't jump in a plane for the sole purpose of flying to a base and bailing out.

Language - Most of us swear like sailors. But it looks really pathetic when someone has a cry/flame ingame. You have 4 chances before you're kicked automatically.
That's enough to vent, but not get out of hand.

Remember - The main thing is that we are all here to enjoy a game.

How many people are in the server total?

• if the server is FULL, 25 vs 25, -6 of them shouldn't be a problem, but if there was 7 of them, then it's a problem.
  
  
• if more than 1/4 of a team is a clan stacking 1 side and not a single one of them on the other team,
  then it's a serious problem.
  
  
• if they want a serious challenge, they can tell us they want a scrim, but to empty the servers while clan stacking, and you see others complaining about stacking, try to resolve the Issue.

If you have the bomb in the S&D server do NOT camp!

[barrettosis]

wait for 30 secs for an air strike

[barrettosis]

some of us like to auto assign. if you do please take the curtiousy of moving yourself to the appropiate TS channel. This will prevent you from "Spying" on the other team in TS.

[barrettosis]

If your name is Hash, Dante, Timmy or major Crash, yes we all know ur a hack

I know I camp, Don't call me a camper, I'm a survivalist.

After an X amount of warnings (maybe 2) there will be a temp ban. After Y amount, don't come whinning..... your just banned. don't cry

[Kanyon]

Please try not to block doors

[barrettosis]

IF more than half of one side of a team is from the same clan it's clan stacking.

Or stairwells and ladders. If your standing still, you should be dead.

[Madcow]

Were these rules created for BF or something? I want vehicles!

Anyway... If there is clan stacking due to auto-assign, or balance (like if one team is considered clan-stacking, but that team has less players than the other team)

Also, If a player of one team is deliberatly helping the other team (or if people work together in FFA) it is a bannable offence.

About the language thingy :blink:
I really can take some but whats the idea about the language in the servers
I think kids also play in the servers, when i see some ppl chat in the servers about dicks, f*uck in the ass etc etc like this evening i really hope my 12 year old nephew who also play cod4 dont get in this server

[pokeytolman]

Killing Pokey only counts as half (its really not hard).

what really irritates me is the constant whining about noobtubes and nades. its in the game deal with it.

best thing to do, is issue a warning; see their reaction, screen shot teh works and send em to the board. if they continue they bant; if i ever decide to check the server logs for what people type, and they've blatenly ignored warnings, they prolly would be bant. a matter of time and awareness on that one :s

I have to agree with these 2 rules.. they seem to be broken alot in the S & D Server.

I understand the rules of the server and most are alright with me. The one rule I can't seem to wrap my head around is the swearing. We're playing a war simulation game, where the object is to kill our opponents, as many of them per round as possible. The game even promotes headshots... So why in the world can we not swear? I'm not saying the rules suck, or that I won't play on this server. I just cannot understand why limit someone's free speech all the while promoting killing each other...

Thanks

Who Said "you Can't Swear"?

You can "Vent" To a Certain Degree,
but not make your Entire conversation all about it,
every other word etc...

Common Sense is the Key here.
If you See :Console: Warning you though, Best not to argue.

i coulda sworn you were quotin me there.. but that's your own words. makes me wonder where i posted something exactly like that. i too, agree with you. however, the swearing is on a fine line of acceptable and excessive.
for one, excessive swearing over little shit makes people think you're an uneducated dumbass. and on the other hand, there's plenty of dumbasses who aren't dumbasses who like to use the word DumbAss and it's forms. likewise with all the words, now, there's two sentences pretty much showing excissive and illiterate alongside something a bit more acceptable :rockout: :tounge-taunt:

Me and xian warned one or two people in headqueaters earlier today that turned into a minor arguement and involved disrespect to both me xian and coffil. WEED came in and it ended. It seems that some people dont understand that "excessive" is in the eyes of the beholder and when a recruit or member tells you you are being excessive you need to listen and not talk back. ESSPECIALLY when admins are in the server.

FFC/Recruits also need to remember that is they have or see a problem, to Report it to a Member or an Admin,
and not Directly involve yourself into the Situation, because 99% of the time, it usually just makes things worse.
