When I was a kid, I often wanted to join the "grownups" (teens and young adults) in their games. Sometimes they would allow me, and other times they wouldn't. How I responded to being denied often depended on the response I got from the "grownups".
As an adult, I led a young Scout troop (Webelos, ages 9 - 10). Best kids I ever had the opportunity to teach - even my "tards" were team players. They responded
very readily to leadership by example.
But this isn't about me.....
Having read most of the threads, I can only conclude that there's a lot of immaturity going around; perhaps because we're short on older online players. When a man complains that he is irritated by the sound of a youngsters voice, I say the man has a problem. If some kid is bouncing around on a map acting like an arse, he's probably in need of attention. Admin knows a lot of good leaders, both young and a little older. Perhaps if these leaders can be encouraged to voluntarily take on one or two "arses" and put them in well-led yet under-manned squad, these "arses" can be turned into lean, mean, fighting machines; conversely, if they keep acting up, well, punishment delayed is justice denied - they should be kicked off for the
DAY. The next ban should be 30 days, and the third time should mean your ip is gone for good. Period.
Bad players should not be tolerated by either side on a contested field - such players should be open targets, given to having to re-spawn so often that they make themselves disappear even before Admin gets involved. Commanders should be able to communicate with each other when such offenses are committed, so that they may notify their platoon leaders.
With summer coming on, I'm glad that Bainwalker resurrected this topic. Gives the good people/members of PR time for some constructive planning and preparation.........
P.S. Dittos the NoBama, kiddo!
