Admins, if you're going to use your own discretion to just ban people from the client, not everyone in the community is going to view punishments as being fair. The easiest way to go about this is to stop banning anyone (other than cheating) and let server admins decide what to do. This was the way it was done with the live version of AA.

If it's too much of an ask for you to restrict some of your power, can you please develop a set of rules for the game itself? Currently, there is no consistent basis for how you ban anyone outside of cheating.

Example: Bumpy consistently uses racial slurs and is extremely disrespectful to many people, yet no action is ever taken against him and his 10 accounts. On the flip side, joe gets banned for using a real name, even though the person who had their name used said to unban him. This can be seen as playing favorites.

Edit: And since joe is such a controversial subject, even without using him as an example the issue of using admin discretion is still present. If you're going to ban for speech, provide a set of rules so there is a clear delineation of what is allowed or restricted.

Here's some constructive feedback. As a dev/admin of this client and website, slandering players in front of everyone is not becoming of your position. If you have an issue or confused about why someone does something the way they do, send a PM.

Hype... 6 accounts and using brightness/gamma/contrast binds... *facepalm*
It's players like you that ruin this game.

Spanky, slandering me in the shoutbox about multiple accounts and using in-game gamma/contrast binds as if that is a bad thing is quite childish and frankly, pisses me off. If we're not allowed to have multiple accounts (which I have 3 and don't see why as it has no affect on anyone or anything) then my fault, I wasn't aware. Although I have had these accounts since I started playing the game. However, despite your unpopular and personal belief, using in-game binds for video settings have been used for a very long time by many people especially in the competitive community back in the day. The settings are there for players to use at their own discretion. No, it doesn't give me an unfair advantage over anyone; as you say it does. If no one else was able to do this or if it was a bug that I was abusing, then that would give me an unfair advantage

For anyone reading that is confused:
Go in-game, go to settings, video. Change your brightness, gamma, contrast. That's apparently giving you an advantage over others according to Spanky. All I did was make a bind to do this quickly and will gladly share with anyone if they want it. Can find this stuff on google, not hard.

An advantage over anyone else is using cheats/3rd party software or modifying video settings on a computer through tweaking. I have not done any of that. I truly hope you start acting more professional and mature.

This community is far too small, especially NA, to be bullying players on your server to play whatever side you prefer, while stacking your clan on the other. Yes I understand it's your server but you keep doing things like this and soon enough, no one is going to even bother playing there. Not to mention this behavior is toxic towards the community.

For those that weren't there:
We were all having a good time playing on maps such as Urban and MOUT but as soon as a map like "Pipeline SF" was chosen (And I assume any map with assault/defense), their clan forced everyone to switch to Assault or be kicked. If refuse again, banned. I voiced my concerns by asking why we aren't allowed to play defense if we choose, and they muted me. I left the server after that.

I saw someone put in chat from their clan on MOUT about their ping being high (Someone must have asked why they all camp so much) and I'm guessing that's their reasoning for wanting to all be on defense. I play from Japan so if I can suck it up, so can you.

That is all, have a great day.
