Ganja, don't get me wrong, the server admins do have a lot of control, and maybe it's more than would be fair, but my point was that the complaints in shoutbox are almost never about that.

And I don't disagree that there are admins out there that abuse their powers, but like was said before (by Killa), with such a small community such servers should be abandoned quite fast, it's not like there's a shortage of servers, 136 servers with 19 people on them is what it says at the moment.

And having only official servers might work, if we had the resources for that. However, it would have to be more than 10. There should be around 10 for Europe alone (in different locations), then another 5-10 for NA (including Brazilian servers, there's lots of them playing, also some on west, others on east coast), plus there would have to be servers on OC area as well (their community isn't as big as it used to, but it still exists and can't be ignored).
So altogether we'd probably have to have around (or close to) 30 servers. Even if not all of them will be filled at once (even for one location), we would always need to have room for growth.
I know Nick has been helping us setting up some servers for both NA an EU locations (and it's very nice of him!), but there's a limit to that, not to mention the fact that he doesn't have servers all over the planet.

Abusive admins _are_ reported all the time. Just browse the shoutbox.

If you bothered to pay attention to what's happening on shoutbox, you'd know that 95% of those things are people who get banned by the game/Assist for unauthorized logins or other such stuff. It just happens sometimes. Very seldom have I seen a genuine report of admin abuse on the shoutbox. People just don't know the game has bugs where it says you're banned, when in reality you were kicked and  can join back up in 5 minutes.

Hey,

As far as I can see more users have the same problem at the moment, so I suppose the problem is not at your end. The best thing you can do is wait for a bit until a solution is available.

Will keep you up to date.

I'm not 100% sure, but I thought I saw Spanky mention that it might have something to do with faulty shoutbox shouts at one time.

Well, our policy is not to allow new accounts on computers that already have an account. And I only see one instance of another computer in the household (for ones that are used for AA that is).
As long as you use the same computer, for all I know, you could be living alone there.

And I couldn't delete any accounts even if I wanted to, the accounts are held at battletracker.com where you registered it.

All accounts dealt with.

Have fun on the battlefield!

At the time you requested the activation, your friend was probably visiting you and he played on your computer with his account.

Looking into it reveals he wasn't at that computer for too long and returned to his own computer, so I've activated your account.

Have fun.

Which has the same result as putting anything in the middle of your screen (used for noscoping, for faster jump-shots or for faster 203's) That's why I say it's not such a big deal, people could have the same result without hacks, so I guess he deserved his one week ban for being stupid.

Like I said in my previous post, there is no need to ban him again on all servers imo, certainly not with such a small community

I agree, and I know people do that. I used it once, had trouble getting rid of it later lol.

My point is, though, that just because that's the only part you can see on that screenshot doesn't mean it's the only thing he's using. If he goes through the process of achieving this on his screen (which is much easier to achieve using other methods, like you said), who knows what else he has done or wants to do to gain an advantage.

Right now he's not banned on Assist and I believe if he had a one week ban, he wont be banned again until he does it/something again.

It might also be BT related I would guess, since they ran an update a day or few ago, maybe they're doing something on that end again?
