I'm starting to think that maybe we should restrict the tags based on the behavior I've seen on the server in the past few weeks by players sporting |TG| tags....

I disagree. We just need to crack down some. If people are being morons, the tag comes off. Simple. No second chances.

Everyone deserved another chance depending on the offense.

Adopt the 3 strikes you're out rule. After the 3rd strike you lose the tag forever banned.

No, I think its time to make an example of some people. Some people have just got out of hand with their attitudes and actions. Bottom line is that everyone wearing the TG tags knows the rules and knows how to act. If you cant keep with that, take em off now.

I do not think it should be restricted. But if it is misused admins should ban the people.

Apathy does nothing but encourage bad behavior.

I think this is the only remedy..
I did not wear the TG tag until I was a member of the Tenth, I just didnt see the point, but once I was a member of the Tenth.. it was part of the policy..
And quite frankly it was like shouldering a large weight of responsibillity, I now was marked, and had to be on my best behavior allways. I dont think that someone that just throws the tags on feels the same way.

That being said..
Will those who wear the tag and behave poorly behave any better without the tag. NO
Will we recieve less bad press? Maybe..
Will this make the gameplay any better.. Probably not..

Regardless, these decisions are made well above my Pay Grade.

While I agree at some point with this you have to remember that each person making a decision is different. What might be a major offense to one admin might be borderline minor offense for another admin. Also a lot depends on how they feel that day. So at some point you have to define the bar or line at which when crossed is an offense large enough to deem removal of the tag and/or banning. This is all obvious to a well experienced admin crew but it does need to be brought up as a reminder from time to time.

Well it should. And by not acting like it, they make the TG tags less for us all.

If they're caught obviously breaking the rules with TG tags on during PW night...

First I had an idea. A way to make the TG open to the public however with a certain restriction to remove all the idiots who can't be bothered with reading a few pages of rules or instructions on PR. If you can't read period then you might have larger issues than wearing a tag.

1. Link to SOP.
2. Link to PR Guide.
3. Multiple Choice Test with minimum correct answers before getting approved.
4. Set membership list of people who have taken test and passed.
5. Compare list to idiot wearing TG tag in game and see if they match.
6. Take appropriate action.

Multiple choice test unfortunately would have to be a java type program but if possible it would require certain questions to be answered from the facts within the SOP and Guide. It would be open book but just having to research the answers would allow them to learn key points and also mean they agree that they have read the SOP and the PR Guide.

I know it's a lot of hassle but at least then you know which players are really here to be serious, show teamwork and have fun instead of who just walk off the street to be annoying.

If that can't happen then at least do this. Compile a series of youtube videos or something like that with tutorial on how to play PR.

I think that it is odd that looking at the server list, of the 8 or so odd names that I don't recognize with TG tags, I can't find them in a forum member search or a search of registered forum member's BF2 ID. I do realize that some of these may have different names on the forum and may not have entered their BF2 IDs in their profile but some obviously have not payed any attention to the forum since they are using brackets ([]) and lower case Ls (ll) in their tags.

Perhaps the TG tag should be a nomination thing similar to ribbons. I know that some will make the elitist argument, but it's our server and we have to police it and frankly, these idiots are giving us all a bad name.

What's the weirdest thing is probably that i have seen so many new guys wearing the tg tag these days and those guys are mostly people i never met on the server before. I agree with Elwenil.

I started playing pr when 0.5 came out as a casual I played on many server and people in the beginning I was one of a hell team killing machine ( It take a bit of time to get use to the game ). I became a supporting member and decided to uphold the tg tag after Christmas, after i was sure i could deliver something close to the standard of quality expected from a member of this community.

If someday someone would tell me to remove the tag i would gladly oblige. For me it only show that when i join the squad i will obey the rules of the squad leader and help my squad as i can :P.

you hit it right on the money, and you are right. Those who have the wrong tag type anyways should be kicked automatically, and then when they reconnect and complain than throw the ban on them for arguing in public and still not wearing the TG tag correctly most likely because they do not understand why one wears the tag to begin with in the first place.

I also did not wear the TG tag until I was a member of a IHS.

i use TG-Irr, but it's supposed to be [TG-Irr] the tag just won't fit, and AFAIK that's fine, i don't think that warrents a kick/ban IMO.
