BANNED? KICKED? Need an admin? Read this!

Beatnik · 02-10-2007, 07:47 PM

You are responsible for all actions taken on your account, regardless whether
it was you on the account at the time. The decisions of the admin team still
stand even if it actually was your brother, your roommate, your cousin, your
friend, your girlfriend, your boyfriend, your sister, your nephew, your neighbor,
or your dog using your account.

If you were unexpectedly kicked while following the server rules, it was likely
because of the "auto-admin script" running on the server. This script automatically
kicks players for three reasons, listed below. Please review these cases before
creating a ban-appeal!

If you think you WERE violating the server rules, CLICK HERE to resolve the issue.
Note: Un-ban requests in the general forums will be locked!

1. Non-supporting member joins a "full" server (62/64)
Two player slots are reserved to allow the script to process joining players. The server is FULL at 62/64 players. When a non-supporting member joins the server when it is full (showing 62/64), they will be "kicked" after fully loading the map. Unfortunately, we cannot edit the following kick message to indicate that the kick was for a supporting member, and not due to your behavior.

When this happens, just re-connect once the server population drops below 62. Also, be aware that the in-game browser doesn't always show the updated player-count.

2. Kicks for not being in a squad
Our server requires all players join a squad within 90 seconds. This applies to both supporting members and non-supporting members alike; both will be kicked if they do not join a squad. This kick operates whatever the server population. If you do not join a squad within 30 seconds, you will begin seeing repeating warnings in the top left of the screen:

After being squadless for 90 seconds, you will be auto-kicked from the server with the following notification:

3. Non-supporting member kicked to make room for a Supporting Member
Those who donate to help pay for the servers (Supporting Members) are given priority access over non-Supporting Members. When a SM joins the full server, the auto-admin script kicks the non-Supporting Member who has been playing on the server the longest. One player in & one player out, keeping the server population at 62/64, ready for the next supporting member to join. This is fair, as it gives everyone a chance to play and experience our way of gaming.

Note: If you are tired of being kicked from your favorite server and decide to support the community here with a Supporting Membership subscription, be sure to register your BF2 Player ID with TG to never be kicked for a SM again!

If just need an admin, your best bet is to get on TeamSpeak, and find one in any of the Battlefield subchannels (PR, PoE2, or 2142). If it's early in the day or you can't find one on TS for some reason, please make a post in the Contact an Admin forum. This semi-private forum is monitored by all BFx admins, and your post will get a prompt response. You will only be able to see threads you have started and will not be able to see other player's threads.

(For reference, the complete list of admins is here: http://www.tacticalgamer.com/showgroups.php. Scroll down to the "Administration - Battlefield" section)

Hey, I donated but I get kicked for the same reason as stated above. Why does the auto script not work for me? What can be done to correct this?

Okay, I subscribed to TG but when I added my player ID, I wrongly added it on the BF2142 slot. Now I changed it to the BF2 slot but I still get kicked. Can anyone help, please?

Feel free to delete this post after my problem is solved. =)

It can take up to 15 minutes or a full map change for this to take effect. Try again and shoot me a PM if the problem still persists.

Also make sure the ID you entered in your TG User CP matches the profile you're using (if you use multiple BF2 profiles).

Everything is OK! Thanks!

You are not a Supporting Member. Merely registering here does not keep you from getting kicked.

So i got to PAY to play a game online that i already bought? wow what a great scam. Alright i guess i might pinch a quater out my arse one of these days..... but first i gotta buy ARMa.

Beatnik · 03-02-2007, 08:16 PM

No you don't have to pay to play, and it's not a scam. We (the Supporting Members) pay for the server so you can play for free. However, we get priority slots above non-payers, since after all the server wouldn't be there without our funds.

Shabo · 03-02-2007, 10:22 PM

so ive been searching the site, where do i donate to the casue? your alls server is the best one out there in terms of the way this game should be played, i would love to see us all generate some more cash so we could maybe even get another server up and running the OR mod, whatca all think?

**Wimpinator** · 03-02-2007, 11:36 PM

Shabo you can subscribe to the TG cause here:
http://www.tacticalgamer.com/payments.php

Being an SM also gives you other stuff such as some web space, an email account, and a reserved slot on most of the TG servers (There are TONS of them for various games). Plus you are helping to keep a great community going.

Beatnik · 03-03-2007, 04:20 PM

Shabo definitely take a moment to check out that link. It was actually the reserved slot system that got me to sign up as a SM about 20 months ago. I figured I was spending $20 a month on Netflix at the time, and when BF2 came out I was getting probably 40-80 hours a month of uninterrupted fun on our original BF2 server for $9/month, vs. 10 or so hours of entertainment for Netflix's $20/month.

Needless to say, I cancelled Netflix, joined TG and saved $11 a month.
