Banned for no reason?

In-game server admins running their servers unethically, ruining the game experience for others. Share your experiences with us and let us know which servers and which admins have been running their server like this and banning for no reason when things don't go the way they.

Nice first post. Methinks someone got burnt and had to reset their IP, make a new account and get out their ladle in preparation for the stirring!

This server admin (battlearena) owns and operates this server. Myself and many other players have witnessed this admin kick and ban players for reasons such as:
1.) Not bringing him a vehicle fast enough
2.) Not fixing his APC fast enough
3.) Disagreeing with his decisions that in most cases are not conduicive to winning
4.) Spawning in the wrong place
5.) Listening to other players make claims that are not factual

There are several other stories and players that have been kicked and banned from an enjoyable gaming experience. I would urge and recommend the founding developers to investigate this admin for his abusive and less than ethical standards. Thank You!

You list no servers and no specific incidents so I would tend to agree with Mr D ( even if he wasn't an R-Pub ).
Also, if you tried to join TG's server when it showed 62/64 players you will get a message that says you were kicked but it just means the server is full.

I was banned PERMANENTLY from 13th MEU server for something I can't remember- something dumb like an accidental teamkill or saying "wtf" or something and getting autobanned.

I would REALLY appreciate it if a rep from the clan could come to me and look into the matter. It sucks when there are only 3 servers up, two of them are playing al basrah with like 2 ppl on the server, and 13th MEU is the only playable server, but I can't use it.

if you don't like a server admin, leave.
it really is that simple.

if you want o play a specific map, get a license and start your own server.

No
If I don't like how a server is admin'd I am going to speak up about it.

I haven't had any of those problems on battlearena so I can't speak to that but the idea that you can behave like an asshat and the community just has to take it is not one that is going to fly.

I have experienced some poor admins on 13MEU and I made mention of it.

If you server is admin'd poorly then everyone will know and your server will be empty.

If these are isolated claims or more likely fraudulent claims that don't include the real reason you were kicked then the community will find that out too.

I don't think that battlearena would do that from my experience playing with him, plus he's hardly on anyways. I did get banned on an easy company server for teamkilling when friendly fire was off, and we were shooting each other though. But I don't think that server is up anymore.

What you are describing about TheBattleArena sounds really bizzar, I play there often and never saw anything like that.

It's his first post. He's a troll, and probably a sock puppet. I'm sorry, but seeing as both the OP and the troll are in their first posts, I'm thinking this whole thing is one big troll by the same guy.

And seeing as this isn't really going anywhere, lockage.

OV_HammerDragon, don't make wild claims that you can't substantiate about other forum members.
