Server Feedback: Guidelines for Posting

Welcome to the Project Reality Server Feedback Section for PR:BF2!

This forum is under the same rules as all other forum sections. We feel that while we make the game you play, the server administrators help provide the unique experience that makes PR a thrilling game to play. Because of this, we have decided to focus this forum only on sever experience and feedback.

Before you post, make sure you understand that this is primarily for server admins to adapt to players' experiences and only secondarily for players to share their experiences.

Please note that our policy concerning server bans is that it isn't any of our business. If you have been banned, please seek an appeal on the server admins website. Any unban request will be closed.

Proper feedback gives the reader and server admin something to learn from. Either from negative or positive experiences. Feedback is essential to all players, both new and old. It helps everyone better understand where they are playing and holds server admins accountable as well as being a vital tool for the admins to better their servers.

What is proper feedback?

Proper feedback gives the reader and server admin something to learn from, either from negative or positive experiences. It contains either general experiences or specific and useful information, backed up with context and evidence.

Bad, and thus unaccepted feedback gives the reader and server admin nothing to learn from. It contains no substantial information other than generic claims or statements (both positive and negative), it fuels drama or does not contribute to the discussion.

Players may comment on anything related to the server: Rules, Administration Practices, Admin presence, Balance, Map choices and so on. (Keep in mind: Ban appeals and extended discussions of single cases will still not be allowed, take it to the server's forums!)

Admins may take this feedback to improve themselves and reply as they see fit (of course within the forum rules). Admins have the last word on what happens on their server, they have no obligation to follow player demands in the feedback thread.

Here are some rough guidelines for everyone to orientate themselves:

Good to go as feedback
- Criticism, praise and limited discussion of Server's rules
- Criticism, praise and limited discussion of the server administration practice
--- This includes: Maps, Balance, Warning/Kicking/Banning practice, Ping, Uptime, Admin Presence, ...
- Criticism, praise and limited discussion on specific personal experiences

Not acceptable as feedback
- Both whining & fanboyism, we aim for constructive feedback
- Escalation (this includes brigading & clan/community drama as well as personal conflicts between individuals)
- Extended discussion of individual cases, specifically bans
In short: Anything that goes against the PR Forum Rules (as in: be civil, bring sources, don't spam, stay on topic...)

Please understand that if you break the forum rules, or if you go against the above guidelines we will give you infraction points immediately. The primary concern of Forum Moderation in this section is to keep discussions civil and constructive. And we will enforce it. Feel free to use the report function if you see any posts/discussions that violate the forum rules.
It is however always at the disretion of the PR Moderation/DEV team to decide what counts as valid feedback and what does not.

Regards and happy posting,

The PR Moderation Team

Please note, we have just updated the Server Feedback Guidelines!
They were quite outdated and didn't match the actual practice in the threads in the past years. We tried to change them so that they will help both players in sharing their experiences and Admins getting good feedback. Please read them before posting!
