But after being treated poorly several times, it was clear that the future of TPG BF2 server was no longer as important to me.

There is nothing idiotic about that, it just is what it is...

And we have enjoyed having you. I've squadded up with you several times, and never have you been a problem or anything other than a teamplayer.

-----But-----

The reason we are successful in the games we host, is that we enforce team play. We have built a community around it. We host several games, and Admin them with the exact same principles in mind. Everyone from the founder of the community to the guy who just stumbled through the door MUST follow the same rules.....no exceptions.

We make it perfectly clear from the loading screen to the scrolling messages in-game, that EVERYONE must be in a squad. We also do not tolerate questioning the actions and decisions of the admins while you are in-game......we have a place for that too. This keeps the disruption away from the game, and brings it to a much better place to answer questions or discuss any issue you may have.

As for the Admin tags question.....it has been brought up several times. The answer is no....it will never happen here. As has been stated, the best way for the admins to be able to do their job, is to remain as anonymous as possible. Even for those who follow the rules, it would be a bit...police-state-ish to see "cop" in every squad......no thanks. Definitely not the atmosphere we are trying to create here.

Plus, there is the fact that we aren't a clan. We are a community.....one that hosts clans. We go out of our way to keep the business of adminning our servers and the clans two distinct and separate entities. This is why we have clan limits (as far as how many admins a clan can have in any particular game), so that no one clan could ever essentially "run" the game. The last thing we would want to create is what would basically be an admin only clan(tags and all).
The way we have it, the clan member admins leave their tags out of the adminning job, and keep them in-game where they belong. This keeps everything fair for the clans, and a much better experience for our players. We have all played on some of those clan-run servers.....we want exactly the opposite experience here.
