Indian i tryed sending you a PM serveral times over the past half hour and i keep getting the error you must wait 60 seconds before you make another post.
So here would be my PM back to you:
Look i can understand the need for a ROE i can understand why knife pistol servers are not allowed, i also understand that statpadding is not allowed.
What i do not understand is the fact that we have many many other things associated with the ROE.
After reading through this document i agree with about 1% of it.
The only thing the ROE needs to contain is the rules:
No statspadding
No knife pistol servers
No high points servers
These are the only rules you need for this game, not any other extremly complicated rules.
It seems to be a waste of time on my part where as EA could be using the time it took to write these patchs to fix the many bugs associated with this game at past and present.
One of the things i do not like about the ROE is the need for the "Battlefield 2 police" many times i find it rather disturbing that players need to report other players about how they have more kills then them or a ward they dont have it.
And IMO it is very childish and very pathetic.
Edit (to add my ROE posted below)
Here would be my ROE, who on these forums agree's with this:
§1.1 You may not arrange for the exchange or transfer of any pirated software or other contraband while you are on any Ranked Servers.
* § This would include the copy and distribution of copyrighted software or cd-keys
Well that rule is pretty damn obvious
§1.2 You may not change (hack) any core games files, load into memory or employ external programs or cheats for the purposes of giving yourself an unfair advantage over other players.
This would include but not limited to:
* § MSX and other 3rd party software.
* § Modification of weapons code, aka Tank turrets exploit.
* § CVAR hacks which would make players appear Neon
* § CVAR hacks that let players see thru walls or buildings
* § Mini-Map hack so all players are visible
* § Modification of Player Names which would alter their size or colors.
* § Items not included in this list would be up to EA & DICE to interpret.
Well this is another obvious rule.
§1.3 Server administrators may not change any game settings defined as standard for ranked servers (ticket ratios, server password, round time, etc.)
This is pretty obvious already as server admins (like me) do not get FTP access to change this stuff.
§1.4 Server administrators may not enforce restrictions on roles or kits that players can use while on your server.
This would include but not limited to:
* § Spec Ops
* § Squad Leader
* § Note.. Commander class can not be enforced
Pretty obvious again.....
§1.5 Players may not use or exploit game mechanisms to artificially boost their score ("stats padding") and Server administrators may not knowingly allow or encourage this activity on their servers.
This would include but not limited to:
* § Knife-Pistol-Revive
* § Knife-Pistol only Servers
* § Knife only Servers
* § High Points Servers
* § Turning boats upside down and repairing
* § Glitching inside buildings.
* § Modifying game files for vehicles and weapons.
These are the only ones that need to be classed as stats padding.
This my friends is a simple ROE and if you break it down it goes like this.
No statspadding
No knife pistol servers
No high points servers
No hacking
No glitching buildings
5 simple rules.......................
