imaginative rule enforcement

I'm concerned about how your admins run your 2142 server. I often play there because of the good rego and map variety, however certainly not for the admins. I got kicked again today for maybe the 15th time and it's just ridiculous. I think once I got kicked for abusing some guy who was deliberately teamkilling - I swore at him and there seemed to be some sort of automatic kick if you swear. Every other time I've been kicked has just been ridiculous, especially in the last few days.

Today your server was running Cerbere Landing, I got in the car and drove through the base once to try getting the PAC car. Many players wouldn't realise the point of this, but to anyone with any skill, they'd know that the PAC car can access many more routes, it's faster and it's more manouevrable. So stealing this car is a very important strategic move but often admins try to unfairly bias the game by creating rules that make it almost impossible to steal this car. Anyway, I didn't succeed that time as it hadn't spawned yet, so I just did a lap around the building and went back out, only running over 2 ppl while I was there. I came back a few minutes later and plenty of ppl were all over the road, totally oblivious to the fact that cars drive along the road and them standing on the road leaves them vulnerable to getting hit. I just drove in, did a lap of a building then drove out a different exit. On my way in I hit 2 ppl who'd already left the uncap and could've seen me coming from at least 40m away and on the way out I hit 3 TOG players who were all lined up in the middle of the road. These ppl should've known better.

A few minutes after this somebody (not a TOG player) started a kick vote against me, so I asked why and all these TOG players started complaining about how I wasn't meant to go in the uncap, as well as ppl complaining that I wasn't meant to camp the uncap. The rules had said no "camping" in the uncap, so I hadn't broken that rule as I didn't camp; I just drove through and stayed no longer than necessary. The players on the server voted overwhelmingly to keep me, so I thought that was that. I never drove back to the uncap again during the round (at least 10 minutes more) just in case a small minority got bitchy again. Even though I didn't go back to the uncap, I never camped the uncap, I only hit ppl standing in the middle of the road who should've known better and the previous vote to get rid of me had convincingly failed, after those 10 mins had elapsed, I was kicked and the reason given was "camping the uncap". That's just plain ridiculous

What exactly was going on with this admin; I followed the rules and the server had already voted convincingly to keep me, yet this guy thinks he knows better than the server rules and the server players. This admin must be some sort of demi-god.

Cyber shot if you have a problem regarding the 2142 server PM maddog2204.

Personally, based on what your saying every kick given to you was subject to your actions. You were in the uncap, and you ran over the enemy whilst waiting for a vehicle to spawn. If the vehicle was not there, of which you would of seen on the map, then you have no legitimate reason to enter the area, thus you would receive a warning if not kick.

The server has auto-kick and auto-ban set for particular words. If those words are said, you will get a warning, and the second offence is a kick. Certain words will receive auto ban.

The server is run by maddog2204, so if you have any concerns, feel free to send him a PM to help clarify any problems you may have with how it's run.

Cyber i have sent you a PM regarding this issue.
In future you can contact myself or Maddog via PM

This thread can now be closed.

thankyou Leevers, I'll do that. Just about the car though, if you wait around for the PAC car to actually spawn, the PAC players will beat you to it and you won't be able to steal it
