This leads to certain people making complaints on our forums when they cant get help from the admins to switch when the balance very clearly would not support it, which is why I try to limit the usage of the command to the times when it is actually necessary, ie when the player cannot simply switch himself.

Well the problem is that when you decide to not switch because of balance it is same as leaving afk on the team. When I want to go to play with my clanmates I am not going to contribute to other team when I am waiting for switch.

One player rarely makes so big difference

I agree with this, sometimes the teams are already unbalanced and switches should be halted. This being said, communication needs to always exist, therefor admins should "warn" people saying their switch request was heard but it can't be done at that moment, or a simple say all message stating the same.
If there's no such communication anyone will just think the report is being overlooked and they need to keep spamming, increasing their frustration.

edit: your rules still don't mention what is an IFV or what is an APC

New ruleset is pants on head retarded.

Makes tank squads/APC squads harder to manage because you have one waypoint divided by twice the number of people now.

Makes it very vague what is claimable on certain maps (e.g. Muttrah).

Admins don't seem to understand the rules either.

Makes rules abusable (e.g. someone creates tank squad on map with only tanks, but is superseded by 'Armour' squad.

1/10 would not recommend this server currently.

Around 21:00

21 March - Pavlovsk Bay

Some players were trying to get help from an admin regarding the new rules because there was confusion about the APCs and who they belonged to, they were mostly ignored or told to sort it between themselves.

Meanwhile an admin was soloing a CAS Chopper from the Russian main to the pier of the submarine pens, the chopper was shot down by a LAT about a minute later. A player reported that the chopper was being soloed and was then warned for false reporting.

Haven't really responded since I wanted to try it first.
First of all I think the new rulesset is already confusing because the PR community is so small. PRTA I think (or every community) has a responsibility to accomodate good teamplay. I think when you're such a small community like PR it's in everyone's interest to somehow have a global set of rules that most of the servers are using.
This in fact has been the case in I think most of the years that PR has been running. The fact that PRTA kind of neglects this to go their own way and ''experiment'' is fine obviously since its their own server and I respect that, but it shows I think that they don't really care about the rest of the community and the confusion that these (total unnecessary) ruleset changes make and the impact that it has.

Personally I've experienced dozens of times confusion on our own server already, and even on other communites servers as well just because of this change.

Not to mention the fact that the admins often don't know how to control the server and its new rules and a lot of clans/people obviously exploiting this.

Example: Transport makes a squad and the first thing they do (admin involved) is driving out of the main without anyone in it, which I think one of the main goals of this ruleset is to evoke teamwork.

TLDR:
I think its completely up to PRTA obviously to change this, but you neglect the fact that you are dealing with more communities and miss the bigger picture of having a responsibility for this entire community outside PRTA as well. The confusion between admins is also rather annoying and I haven't seen a positive impact on the teamwork due to the change of rules. Just my 2 cents.

I was warned with reason 'retarded' and no explanation, went to forums, received an answer with same insult from same person, thread was locked with reason -

We have concluded our investigation and found that the problem/report bears no real consequences and merits little to no attention or repercussions from the senior and lead administrators.

Would not recommend this server currently.

delete pls

Played a round, got LATted in repair station when flag not active, admins do shit.
But someone locks armour squad and gets warned immediately.

Kieb, might wanna report that in the forums, since that seems like an incident rather then a returning thing.

Typical responses on the forums are

Kinda pointless really

Server seems to have increased in popularity since the most recent rules changes reintroducing APC squad and revamping the trans squad rules.

No recon squads or in other words integration of snipers/spotters into can squad is imo a good change that other squads should think about.

I disagree. This rule is really retarded. Some days ago i got warned to rename squad that i named "Recon" despite not doing recon. Reasoning back then was "You are not allowed to name recon, not matter what you do, but you are allowed to do recon in other named squads"
Now i joined server and well

Admin is in the squad and says "It is fine as long as you dont do recon"
Consistency is key in enforcing rules. Consistent rules would help with that too i guess

When the server had the stupid APC/TRANS/ARMOR rules, the side which had admins enforced the rule that trans squad only uses APC for transporting, meanwhile the other team used APCs for blitz attacks and kepts using them the old fashioned way.

Good to see that rule is gone.

In the light of recent events such as:

New - AdminsTeam Admin Report by Raubt1er | PRTA - Project Reality Teamwork Alliance
This isn't the story about one particular kid in the ballpit that bullied other kids off from the pool, rather than a short statement. Administration of the ballpit has stated the rules and gave the kids opportunities; they also presented the regulations following which kids could change the system. And they were doing so. Trying to. They were filing multiply complaints to the members of the administration, they were trying to engage the administration into the dialogue, and they were trying to bring positive changes to the ballpit routine. And all that they did was done by strictly following the rules and regulations the administration has created. Administration even made them believe they’re really open to a dialogue and these kid did believe them, but it was all the lie. And not even pushing one of theirs into the board of administration hasn’t helped a bit. And all of the effort put and all the attempts were crashed by administration ruthlessly. Not a single time any of the complaints nor proposals led to an action other than to a letter of a notification that stated that things were considered.

So.

Hereby KIA declares our departition from the PRTA due to complete ignore of problems and lack of actions from the administration. We leave them be as they always are: completely deaf to everyone around, ignorant and with lack of desire to commit to anything other than to their insane ideas of how kids should play.

SuperArmy wrote: KIA made the 21/4 not me

Strange to read this because only KIA care about leaving from prta, and we think it was done for better. No one gonna rush back and say sorry

SuperArmy wrote: We all wish to forget you too.

This is your style, you always write "we" when you have to write "me" or "I".
