When will people understand that a player with high ping has no effect on your server.
Yes there may be times if they have a very high ping that the play could become a bit glitchy but this does not effect the server itself only the players game play, it can be just as hard to shoot another player if you have high ping as it can be to be hit.
The real issue here that people fail to understand is ping is determined by the distance from the server the players ISP is.
I have been playing AA for 8 years and in all that time i have never had a ping lower than 60, you may ask, well i am from Australia and anyone gaming from down here always has higher than normal pings.
Just try explain this to some admins that have no idea, i was playing on the AA Slovenija server tonight and after being kicked twice i asked why and when i was told high ping i tried to explain that there was nothing i could do.
Lets just say they decided to name ban me instead of trying to understand, but hey that's fine.
Just thought i would post this for any other decent admin on other servers to advise that if you see high ping maybe ask a few questions first before you take action.
