Hi everyone, this is Reaction

Thank you for allowing guests to register on your forums! I've been playing on your servers for at least 2-3 months and on other servers with some of your members. During these months I've always had a fun time with everyone and had respect to the BK clan for their respectable rules and regulations. Today around 1-2pm CST. I was playing on Polite and Friendly Server #2. Through my observations as of here lately I have noticed a spike in numbers in the BK community and with that I have noticed for the first time on your server Admins that I haven't recognized and who are a little shifty on their approach to issues. One of the problems was related with me. This was on one of the new AK maps that I'm not familiar with yet and I was running across a road that had debris littered across it. Apparently a member (I'm assuming an admin as well) was firing a sniper rifle at me when I was stuck in the debris. Of course I don't want to just sit there and be stuck and be shot so I jumped over the debris, twice to be exact and was then killed by a separate player in a tank. Following my death the admin pointed me out in caps lock that I was to stop bunny hopping immediately. Normally I would be fine to this because I do know it was a rule and even due to the circumstance its still a rule. However the way it was approached was not in an etiquette known by BK. Following this blurt of a warning came several #1 BH commands or whatever the plug in command is for it from several different admins. When I say several I mean 4-5. I understand policing a server. But in my own opinion and I understand it is just that, should it not be addressed by one person only? As well when I asked to know where the server rules were located I was told to "zip it". I sat back and watched this happen with this same group several times and don't get me wrong. The issues they were approaching were issues that needed to be dealt with. But definitely not in the manner they did.

The reason I have brought this about is because of the chatter I saw afterwords. Apparently I was not the only person this has happened to recently and 8-10 more players in game on both teams chimed in to state that things weren't suited just right. I'm not trying to offend anyone or bring up a fuss but I love playing on this server and I don't want to see it turn into something its not. Some of you know that I am associated with a clan. -Elite to be exact and I want to state that even though they may share the same opinions as me as of here lately, I am in no form representing them as a clan on this post. I'm a member, not an officer.

I'm representing every guest you guys have. I understand that when you take on multiple members in short periods that its hard to manage everyone and make sure they're sticking to their respectable guidelines. All I'm asking is that some looking into be had and hopefully we can keep enjoying the server that we've always been a fan of. Also its just a suggestion but I know some servers have a script where you can type !rules or something of the sort and it posts them in game. Friends join off of friends sometimes and don't get the chance to read the server screen. Again thanks for the opportunity to post and for your consideration.

We have alot of admins on who cover several servers at the same time, when there is a warning given by any member those admins that are on will give the command warning even though they may not be in the same server where the violation or warnings are given. As we are not all in the same games or servers or even ts channels, we may all react at the same time with the command resulting in several warnings at the same time. It is not intentional so please dont feel you are being attacked personally. As for the bunny hopping if you were jumping over debri on the road, depending on the graphics and distance to site the debris on the raod may not have been seen and it would have looked like bunny hopping. We do our best to keep the servers running smoothly and to remove those who would have it otherwise. I hope this has helped seeyas on the battlefield

I would like to add our warning system does not allow multiple warning to the same player on one infraction there is a time delay before a member can type a new warning command. We are human and sometimes make the wrong call on the bunny hopping rule.

So thanks for providing some feedback and playing on our servers

Reaction, I want to thank you for the WAY you voiced your concern as well...very respectful and understanding our humanity, but still expressing your point of view.  

I hope you continue to join us and don't judge all BK by one or two of our members.  We are still training some of them to be polite and friendly too!

Thanks for all the replies and don't forget to say hey if you see me in game! I'll still be joining P&F 2 regularly. Are you guys going to have a server that's Vanilla maps or non all AK? If you do already and someone can direct me to it that'd be great. Again thanks for the time to look over everything. Today has been a complete different experience than yesterday. See you in game.

Also I forgot to mention. Can someone please take a look at Holiday's ticket he posted about being banned? I was told by a BK member he was banned for Racism when I was in game with him at the time, along with 4 other guys that all say he said nothing racist at all. It happened right after he asked for BK's website and how he could get in touch about setting a scrim up. No one would reply back to him and he said "Pansies " and was banned immediately after. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

That BK member was wrong. He was banned for disrespecting member or a guest. Calling members or guest names is a ban. His ticket will get reviewed by a senior officer. In most cases if it was a first time ban it will be lifted. We issue a lot of language warning to members of your clan if his name appears in that list it may play a role in the decision on the the ticket. You guys should clean it up a little.

Again thanks for playing on our servers and the manner in which you have addressed the issue in this topic.

Hey guys.

In no way was I directly disrespecting anyone when I said pansies.. I mean, it was quite honestly a joke if at all anything. I don't understand anyone getting upset about it unless you just really took it to heart. I understand it's your server and your rules so if unbanned Ill keep that in mind in the future.
