I hope I put this in the right spot...sorry If I haven't.
First let me say I like your BF4 crouch server...I play here lots and enjoy the crouch addition...
I'm not a rule breaker...but I got some warnings tonight about walking...your rule states to crouch or you can walk with your sites up...which I do when I use either my rifle or my pistol...I find that I got a couple warnings tonight while I was walking with my sites up using my pistol because you can move faster...Here is my question am I doing anything wrong?
Please understand I'm old...not a great player (I am getting better lol) but I pride myself on not being a pain or a rule breaker and its what I like to be known as.
Can you clarify this for me...can I walk with my sites up with my pistol? The scrolling messages say I can but again I got warnings tonight when I did.
Thanks again for a good server.

I'm not a BK member, but in answer to your question:
You are not breaking the rules if you are walking upright while aiming down your sight.
In order to move, you have to be either prone, in the crouch position, or aiming down your sight while walking.
Note: I've noticed some places in the game have a short lip or curb of maybe 1" - 12" where you can't walk over or jump/hurdle over it. The ledge window by C flag on Dawnbreaker is a good example. If a player moves all the way against it, then presses the forward, sprint, and jump key at the same time, only then will the player go inside. You won't actually run if you only tap the keys. It just puts you inside. Then immediately prone, crouch, or ADS to move.
Like Luke said, mistakes are made on occasion. If I get warned and I know I wasn't running, I just keep playing without commenting on it.
However, you said it was more than one warning. So, I understand why you would want to come here to clarify. I'd write it off as a fluke and just keep doing what you're doing. I know that pistol walking can look quite fast sometimes. I wouldn't be surprised if it was accidentally seen as running. Hope to see you in-game, Farmernyquil.
