I have been playing for a while on just about any official server I could find with a low ping. So I've been all over the place and seen some really dumb, weird, crazy and bizarre rules that some admins have. Most of these rules are from games where a player was either warned or kicked/banned for breaking them. Only a few of them were directed at me.
Here are some of my favorites!
1) This is a <name> clan server and the clan must always win.
And they were serious! They started kicking players off the other side if they started losing too much. I guess that’s one way to get the War College ribbon.
2) <name> no more bunny hopping or you will be kicked.
I know how annoying it is, but how do you enforce this rule? I couldn’t shoot you so I will ban you! How about no running, someone might get hurt.
3) I will kick any player that touches my arty!
The jerk really did! He kicked and banned one or two special Ops players each round that went anywhere near his artillery.
4) Enemy players are not allowed near uncappable spawn points.
This nut was a pilot who would kick any player that killed him on the ground while he was waiting for his jet. He gave one warning and kicked the player if they didn’t move on.
5) I will kick <name> if they don’t leave the carrier immediately!
Similar to the one above. I guess those helpless pilots can’t defend themselves on the ground.
6) Anyone who steals my tank will be kicked! No exceptions!
This guy needed to grow up. He kicked his own team members most of the time.
7) No Arty strikes are allowed! <name> will be kicked if he uses his arty on me again.
This is what happens when you play in someone else’s sandbox.
8) I have kicked <name> for childish behavior.
My inner child was curious as to what brought this on.
9) Players <name>…<name> and <name> will be kicked if they don’t stop spawn camping.
This was directed at my entire squad. We were trying to take the spawn point and they were defending it. I died a lot. It was a great battle. We didn’t get kicked but our squad leader argued with the admin for another five minutes before quitting. I left at the end of the round. The admin just didn’t like losing.
10) Air strikes are not permitted on this server. Anyone who does an air strike will be kicked!
Hey I’m a ground pounder myself and I hate getting bombed all the time but why have this rule if you are playing in the Gulf of Oman and Operation Clean Sweep?
11) Any player that runs into their teams mines and claymores will be kicked! No exceptions!
This was in a Karkland 24/7 server and the guy was dropping mines and claymores everywhere. If he killed you by accident you got kicked. I guess he didn’t like losing points for the teamkills but he wasn’t exactly careful where he was putting them either.
12) Kicking <name> for having too low a score.
This guy was also the commander and figured the best way to get high scores was to kick out the players with low scores before the round ended. There is a Darwinian logic to it but it sucks for the players that just joined.
13) Banned for excessive teamkilling.
My only ban. The enemy was taking the spawn point at the trainwreck in Karkland and I charged it with a tank. There were no blue dots on my map when I started firing but apparently the admin spawned there in the middle of the fight. He somehow missed the entire fight and thought I was attacking him on purpose. I guess he didn’t see all the dead bodies.
14) <name> don’t ever try to steal my helo again or you will be banned!
This one was directed at me. I didn’t even get in it. I walked up to it when the round began and waited for a good pilot to show up. I was trying to join his squad! I didn’t get and I was sooo tempted to try and shoot him down with the AA near by but ironically he took off with a fully loaded Blackhawk and crashed it into the ground a few seconds later. Now that was funny!
15) Kicked from a squad for not committing suicide.
This one was directed at me also. He asked to change to a medic a few minutes before then got angry that I hadn’t changed yet. I told him I was revived by someone else and didn’t have the chance to change my kit. He wanted me to commit suicide and change when I came back. I wanted to wait until I died since no one was injured and we were near a spawn point. Then he kicked me from the squad. I didn’t miss him.
As you can see, most of these came from Admins who didn’t like losing or have serious ego problems. Feel free to share any other dumb rules you come across.
