battlearena admin blowing up own caches

A few minutes ago on battlearena's al basrah server, a guy named BattleArena4 was on our (insurgent) team. He blew up one of our caches, after another, after another. I complained about it and tried to !vk him but was told he owns the server and can't be kicked. Wtf? Has anyone seen anything like this before? I know if any other player intentionally blew up their own caches, they'd get banned real fast.

Edit: It was a namehack. See below

His server, he can do w/e he wants. They have some other odd rules that Ive heard, like civi's cant help the brits but insurgents can set up technicals around the main base. Their server, their rules,server owners can do w/e they want, dont like it dont play there.

Hmmm...I would normally say take it up with him personally but it is in fact HIS server. That being said, it is a pretty dumb thing to do. That is why all the smacktards flock to that server...

Maybe he was simply testing something like how much -score is needed b4 auto kick/ban?

Not me dude. I'm watching Last Comic Standing and this bald guy is hilarious. I suggest before coming here you do post on our forums. We are fair. It was a namehack, I just checked it out. It would have been nice if you would have reported that in our forums. I would have stopped the guy sooner.

Output from our jerk detector gives us this:

Thanks for that. To clarify your "civi's cant help brits" statement, it's kind of like a British Engineer walking over and fixing Insurgent bridges so Insurgents can rush Airport with bomb cars. At least that's how we view it. I can see how other servers may think that's ok. I would allow it if TK'ing civis engaged in betrayal was not punished. I think that would be an interesting dynamic

I don't know you, you don't know me. This is rude and incorrect for no reason. We have a pretty good rep for quality gameplay, guess that's why lots of people keep coming back.


TOMATO WITH A RIFLE POSTED AS I WAS EDITING... HE MISSED MY POST.

He would have just restarted.

It would have been better to have just gone to the site before comming here and saying that a admin was destroying his caches.

Here is the site for those that don't know The Battle Arena

Will do next time. Sorry to have accused you in retrospect. Everyone (here and in-game) was saying "his server, he can do what he wants", I figured you might have been drunk or was letting someone else play. :-D Good to see the fast response though.

No prob. As an aside, I've never given in to drink.

I can say that I am flattered at all the attention lately. I do feel however, that I should sink back to my website and refrain from posting here. Seems I've been feeding trolls which is why I like to keep our server stuff off other forums.

Battle is solid, so are his admins, almost the only server i play on. True, a lot of noobs tend to end up there for whatever reason, but also a lot of really good squaddies. I have had some of my all-time best games on that server. and note, its almost full most of the time, so he's doing something right (except letting maverick fly the damn helo lol)

1. Wrong section ;)

2. Should've taken it to their site.

3. Lockage, as it has been solved and no further discussion is needed.
