There in an increasing number of people wearing the dMw tag warning people for there behaviour/rule breaking etc - While i understand it is meant to be good natured it is also pointless when admins are on.
I have asked people not to do this in the past and the same people are doing it (i'm not going to name names) Could one of the senior admins or GL post in the bf3 section about this to remind members not to do it as what I tell the people doing it is falling on deaf ears.
Cheers
my Pleasure.. :D
thanks mate.
I'm a little confused as to where this is going, from how I see it Kreg is right in his point of -
QuoteBy joining dMw we are expected to uphold and encourage the codes of conduct and rules set by the community...
No a member does not dish out warnings while on the server, but should still encourage people to stay within the rules of our servers...
but from how I read it you don't want anyone that's not an admin telling people not to be a tit on the server?
This is where it is unclear.
When I useto do this on BC2 & Bf3 when i was not an admin I was verbally asked not to so.
QuoteWarnings, kicks and bans
The following sections deal with our procedures for dealing with players who break our in-game rules or guidelines. It should be noted that they do not apply to those idiots who join a game with the obvious intent of spoiling the enjoyment of others. In such cases they will be immediately kicked/banned.
Warnings
A warning will be given before any other form of punishment if you are violating the rules or guidelines of gameplay.
Your first warning will appear on screen for you and others to see. Second warnings will appear on screen and again will be broadcast to all players. Second warnings are of a "last-call" nature and may ultimately result in you being kicked from the server or banned for a period of 24 hours. If you are a persistent offender it is possible that you will be removed for a longer period of time or removed completely from our servers.
Player Kicks
If you are kicked from one of our servers do not rejoin the server to argue your cause as this will result in you being banned. We do this to allow the other players to continue their gaming without disruption. If you have a question or concern about why you were kicked then please use the appropriate gaming section of the forum to bring it up with the admins. Do not use the forum to start a flame-war as this will inevitably lead to a 24 hour ban. The Admin that kicked you will deal with your concerns. Be respectful and we guarantee that the Admin will treat you with respect in return.
Player Bans
If you have been banned from the server and you feel the ban is unwarranted then please use the appropriate gaming section of the forum to bring it up with the admins. Do not use the forum to start a flame-war as this will inevitably lead to a much longer ban. The Admin that banned you will deal with your concerns. Be respectful and we guarantee that the Admin will treat you with respect in return.
Admins
Player Warnings, Kicks or Bans can only be issued by an Admin. A list of the Admins can be found in each gaming section.
From my point of view & from this, for me any member should be able to tell someone not to swear, bunny hop use an exploit / whatever, but once something needs taking to the next level is where it becomes solely the admins task - to warn someone or take things further etc, to say that all a community member is allowed to do if there's no admin around is make a note of a players name is a bit ridiculous.
