We're sorry your experience on our server wasn't a pleasant one. Our clan is mostly older gamers so we're very relaxed on rules against language. If it's racism, then that's another story & it's NOT tolerated. If you're looking for a place to enjoy PR with strict rules against foul language I might suggest the =DaM= (Dad's and Mom's) servers. They're a great bunch of guys & gals who run a clean server for families. Hope that helps.

We are a adult oriented clan and we only get involved when it comes to racism or extreme personnel attacks against a player when it comes to filthy language. I cannot or will not take on the responsiablity of putting rules on bad language. All I can offer is a warning about that bad language is used on this server. Will work on a message for this.

I appreciate your replies and that you can set the rules as you see fit. I do feel though the bad and sexually explicit language is coming from the less mature players, not the older gamers. So I had kind of thought this behaviour would have been less accepted on an "adult orientated" server.
As a mature gamer I will take your advice and try out those servers you recommended.

SSG Jay, you should also post on our forums about what happened to you. The best way to have these things handled is to post on our forums as it allows the head admins to see what our guys are doing when we are not around.
For everyone that DOESN'T KNOW, and I'm just reiterating old info here, but again, if you run into problems with specific admins, take your screenshots and post on their forums about it.

I GUARANTEE they will respond. Their senior admins are VERY good about responding to complaints and gripes, and THEY DO NOT always side with the alleged admin.

They are VERY good about addressing admin issues with a very objective mind. And just remember, if you didn't get screen shots, they run Battlecorders on this server. Just give them as much info and specifics as you can, i.e. date/time/map/admin name/etc.

Just got kicked for "Griefing" because I complained that the US team intentionally hosed me over and over as an unarmed civvy on Fall Insurgency.

Control your team.

If I DONT use a medkit, and I DONT use a "weapon" (The rocks.. Good god.), then I DONT get shot.


I swear, they should impose the extra respawn time on the ENTIRE BlueFor instead of the person who actually wasted the civvy. Then we wouldn't have this kind of unrealistic nonsense.

One of the server rules is "play the game as intended". That means tactical realism. Not some 15 year old kids LOLing after clipping a 120 second respawn time unarmed civvy.

Thanks for bringing that up corp_calqluslethal - It doesn't appear to be running. We'll look into what we can do to get it going again.

We do! Recently we switched our provider to allow us full control of the box - please see my signature below for the new IP addresses, or simply search "Chicago"! Time to update your favorites list!

I'm glad there's finally some 24/7 Kashan server and I'm going to visit it often, however what discourages me is immature behaviour of some admins. I was kicked twice for allegedally 'stealing assets', notwithstanding I was in a proper (2nd, but named) squad, not to mention witnessing situations like that. Additionally, some of your clan members should join the battle than have a picnic on a runway (6 guys waiting for assets for whole 20mins... is that teamwork and helping your teammates?).

greets, z.

Zar2Roc, we're glad your excited for the 24/7 Kashan Server. I'm guessing it was a duplicate jet squad or helo squad that was created resulting in a warning, then a kick? Follow the rules or get kicked. It's really quite simple.

We try to warn first, whether or not you saw it - we do try warning first. If nothing changes we kick. If you come back & continue the behavior, you get banned. If you feel you've been treated unfairly the best place to resolve it would on our website: www.hoggamingclan.com.

As for players waiting for an asset at the main to spawn, well - it's the nature of the beast. So many people trying to make duplicate air asset squads & steal/tk air assets that I really can't blame them for camping the airfield to defend them.

Well, I enjoy the 24/7 Insurgency server quite well, but admin behavior is not particularly heartening. I am not going to make a complaint, just going to be vague.

Well, sometimes I don't watch chat carefully, maybe that was the cause, will do that from now on.

I'd reconsider the rule about assets assigning, why - a few reasons:
- first off, every so often I see one man locked squad, which blocks me from using e.g. chopper, because despite that 2 helos are sitting in main, when I create duplicate, the whining begins that 'he's the only one who is allowed'.
- named squads have priority to access respawned assets - when I see that someone really, really suck at using assetes (usually armor) I can't take that asset, since again 'only they can'
- it happens that someone is whoring, I mean they have a squad, move in nice formation, everything looks perfect - but only on the map. They don't destroy enemy tanks, they are like 1km away from combat zones and yet again - I can do shit to help my team.

That were only the most obvious ones, to sum up the rule looks good on paper - assets for the right players, no mix ups and misunderstandings, however the truth is that it doesn't work as intended.
I'm a big fan of first to come, first to serve, since if you are good, other players will let you man the assets, also armor won't be idling in main when it's badly needed, and if you really want to drive some vehicles, you will know when & where they spawn and be first to get into them.

That's my 5 cents, I'd really love to see that rule withdrawn on your server.

cheers, z.

Zar2Roc, we do appreciate your feedback. I will agree that a one man locked chopper squad once the round is going is bullcrap. If your asking to join the squad & not getting an invite, please bring it to the intention of an admin. We'll see to it the squad gets unlocked.

Named squads have rights to assets - in the event of armor, there may be more than one squad on Kashan - just because there are so many tanks! If there's not a second squad going, get one up! I do understand your frustration though when people seemingly "suck" at crewing a particular asset. Just try to remember that we all have our moments where we do great, and moments where we just plain suck. While you may question their tactics, they may have a trick up there sleeve. (alot of players talk to eachother over our Ventrilo - see website for info) Ultimately - who knows!

Above all else though, please remember that the rules don't just work for/against any one person - they apply to EVERYONE. So the next round get in there & get your squad up first & show 'em how its done! After all, on Kashan 24/7 we all know what the next map will be :)

Thanks again for your feedback! We're constantly improving/revising our rules & we'll take it into consideration. Most important though, thanks for keeping our servers populated!

BrewCrew Out.

I enjoy playing on all your servers. And i love the fact that you have rules and your admins actively enforce them. What i don't like is being kicked for breaking a rule, that in fact, after reading your webpage, i didn't break at all.
3. THIS IS A NO BASERAPE SERVER.
Do not attack/enter the enemy mains unless the Gold Shield icon appears and becomes a legitimate cap zone. This includes Repair Stations and Asset Spawn Areas. If your squad manages to neutralize the enemy flag they may stay and defend/hold if other flags are retaken while capping. Uncappable main bases are strictly off limits. Flyovers, firing of any weapon, locking AA onto carriers or camping the approaches within 1 grid square/3 Keypads adjacent to main bases are all prohibited.
This list is in no way exhaustive. Use your head and behave in the spirit of fair play.
That is quoted from your rules for the the 24/7 kashan server. =]H[=Clean kicked me twice for shooting down an A10 while being a whole 3 grids away from the main. Not keypads, GRIDS! Two more than your rules say. I tried to explain that someone had said 3 keypads was the rule, and asked for them to be clear on what exactly the rule is, and got kicked again. I'll admit i was a little harsh in saying that, i believe my exact words were something like... "YOU MOTHERFU*KERS NEED TO BE CLEAR ON THESE RULES" i appologize for the name calling, but come on, i follow the rules and get kicked.

I was going to send =]H[=Clean this message, but i can't find his username on these boards. I just want someone to inform him that the rule ISN'T 3 grids, it's 3 keypads.

Some of the hardcore admins can be a little heavy on the banhammer. It's not a bad thing.

Some times it can be insulting, and annoying. Especially when they kick/tempban you over miss communication.

The worst is when you've done no wrong, tried to explain your self, just to get called a liar. Wind up kicked or temp banned for some bogus charge. Makes me wana crawl through the nets and fire bomb some ones home.

But as I said. I'll take admins who take action trying to enforce the rules, over admins who don't do jack.

I would just suggest that if some one is called out for doing something wrong, and they dispute the call. Please listen. I genuinely hate how some of your admins treat average players like scum. Personally like to treat other players the way I like to be treated.

As long as the "suspect" doesn't get offensive, keeps mature. He should be heard out. If any shadow of a doubt remains over the call, listen. Most of the players have no reason to lie or hide.

If they know they are in the wrong, they seem to D/C right off the server/Go silent/Or change the topic.

They say something like "Oh your just mad because your bad" or "lol try harder INS"

It's your server, run it the way you like. I do not donate, I do not pay the bills.
