It's OK for you to use the tag as you have a green gaming badge but they shouldn't use the tag (unless they have a gaming badge for dMw).

Quote from: TeaLeaf;305115Tag:
Anyone with a current gaming section badge must use dMw. as their tag in BFBC2 - i.e. dMw. for existing badge members.
Anyone without a current gaming section badge must not wear any form of dMw tag.

You are not to use the tags unless you have been rewarded with the green badge. When you're active on the forums and on our servers you will be getting your reward. Same goes for your friends, they arent allowed unless they have the badge.

My bad, I thought you needed a specific badge for bf2, and not for a different game. Ignore me.

I'll try and clarify....  BFBC2 is not a supported game and does not have a badge or official game tag.  As is the case with all of the games we play, if you have a badge from any game then you are entitled to use the .dMw tag after your name on dMw run servers.  Due to the naming restrictions and the tag position on BFBC2 you cannot have the .dMw after your name so we decided in this instance to have it at the start.  If/When the game is supported there will be a new tag for people who earn the badge. :)

So what about calling himself dMw.Gibbo when he plays BFBC2 on his XBOX?

Which, unless I am mistaken, is what he was asking in the first place.

Penfold already said it was OK as he has a green badge from another game.
My post was to try and clarify why it is OK...(obviously not clearly enough):flirty:

What about real life? Can I change my middle name to .dmw or would it have to be my last name?

I get that.  The bit about using a dMw. tag whilst gaming on non-dMw servers (which an XBOX/PS3 is) is the only thing that's ambiguous here.  Apologies if my question wasn't clear enough the first time around.

Quoteif you have a badge from any game then you are entitled to use the .dMw  tag after your name on dMw run servers.
That part of your post prompted my question. :flirty:

So, what is the community stance on using a dMw-esque tag if you're playing a game (be it supported or not) on a console?  Or don't we have one yet?

:)

If it's not a dMw run server and you don't have the tags for that specific game then you shouldn't be using them is the way I remember it.

Cool.  Thanks for clearing that up.  :thumb:

Gibbo - using dMw tags on the XBOX are a no-no.
