"Your skill level is higher than allowed by clan policy (Rob455)"??? Really? My 269 skill is too high for the server? That isn't even div 1... Sad when children get mad about being beat. Is there a way to report a server?

I'm afraid we're going to have to lock this thread, because the post count for this thread is higher than 0. Lol. At least this is one ban you can be proud of.

Yeah, that's it. I didn't read their title all the way through. Too busy trying to find a decent game. I thought it was against the TOS to kick/ban for this though...? EDIT: Now a "NO EXPLOSIVES" one.... Don't these TOS breaking server rules bother people? I mean, sure have these rules in NON-ranked games, but not in ranked gameplay.

It wasn't hard to figure out which server you were talking about. I just had to Google your problem, and I was able to say which server you were referring to. Seems as though if you have a good game there, you get banned. Maybe you could ask FletchJ, Violence, or Wrinvert, Joey, BHS, or anyone else that plays BF4, and see if they know what to do about that problem. I would imagine you could report the server at least.

server owners can choose to limit things and EA/Dice will do nothing as they are paying for the server and plug ins that kick for Ex weapon use or rank do not seem to be a issue to them .Was the same way with BF3 and BC2 .Sorry but just pick another server ,like the EVGA ones? :)

fletchj You pay to rent the server, you can do whatever you want with it. Don't like it, play somewhere else.
Except, those custom rules break the TOS.

Please note that Server Administrators should not ban players for conduct that is not in breach of the TOS, for example, just because they are winning the round, have killed you, etc. The player being banned must be in violation of the TOS (which may include violation of the particular server's rules, provided these rules are in accordance with the TOS). I don't see how these rules are in accordance with the TOS... After looking through the TOS.

It doesn't clarify it either way, actually. Are these rules in accordance with TOS? The TOS is vague about it for RANKED servers. EDIT: However, did they let me play for about an hour before banning me? Yes! Then, they banned me after I cleaned my rear with them. THAT IS AGAINST THE TOS!

Or you played long enough and built up your skill level as you played until you reached the limit they had set in the plugin and it finally booted you. Without going and looking up your stats history I have no idea if this is a case or not, and I'm not going to do that.
Not sure why this is such a big issue. It's one server out of probably a couple hundred thousand. Pick another. They didn't break a set rule... they are wide open. Nobody is going to enforce anything on them. You are more than welcome to run your own for about $80 per month and you can run it however you wish.
I'll give you one thing, you made realize that OFFICIAL servers are what I am looking for. Those are the clearly defined ones. Thanks for that.

Yep those are hit and miss as well. They tend to collect trolls who abuse the chat box or other things because they cannot be kicked or banned from the server.
Are you just trolling me? It seems everything I say, even stroking your ego, you want to argue with.

Just stating the facts I have experienced... Nothing more. You will find out in time apparently.
Look, I know the game is crap. However, I am trying to get the best experience I can for the money that I wasted on it. It seems like the official servers are the way to go. I don't even pay attention to the text in this game... Or, any multiplayer for that matter.

Go with the official servers. Like FletchJ said, those others can set their own rules. He's not trying to argue. He's just trying to give you the facts. He's just answering your questions, or statements. I found FletchJ to be very helpful. He's also helped me out a lot. (Sorry if I sound all Pro-FletchJ, but he has a lot of knowledge of that stuff).

It is no violation of the TOS to use a setting designed into the server, like putting limits on the skill level and/or ranks of players. That has been made available to admins since before BF3. You're also correct in that Official servers should not have such limitations. Don't blame the people renting the server for putting such limits in place if they want to. It's possible and allowed.

And thus is the issue with dedicated servers. I prefer dedicated servers, but there should be the same lack of customization as games without them... But, then what would the point be? Yes, I am a fan of the new hybrid type of system. Dedicated servers without the ability to rent, or own your own.

When Admins are in the Evga servers, the Admins are there to make sure everything runs smoothly, and no rules are violated. Chris is talking about a non-Evga server that treats the players in their servers very poorly. (i.e. Banning players who play good, without using any hacks). Not sure why your pointing at Evga.
