5) The TOS for renting a server clearly states that you are not allowed to ban particular weapon types but yet this practice is rampant. So many admins have clearly stated that particular weapons or gameplay tactics are not allowed. It really pisses me off when people abuse this.
Taken from said
server renting website: "dedicated BF3 servers we host are
enforced by clients and not by GameServers.com."
You can ban any weapon you want. You can kick whoever you want from your server. If you are an admin, you have the power to do whatever the hell you want on your server because you paid the money to run and maintain it (thus, rule over it as if you were King, Jury, Judge, and Banner). People have been kicked off of a server because the Admins on the other side didn't like how good the guy was doing. Yeah, it's Admin abuse and normal players like myself don't have control over it.
Hell, I got kicked for sniping with an 870MCS... No, you heard me right. I was sniping with a shotgun. I was up to 40~ kills while the admins were stuck around ~20 or so. I think one of them kept on getting headshotted from me and like raged hard. So whatever, it's his/her problem when they can't deal with a better player... so they do what's in their power to seem "powerful" again.
6) Is anyone interested in starting a BakaBt server? Everyone who wanted a voice in the running of the server would have to contribute a dollar amount (which would be very minimal. It costs a little over $20 a month to rent a server. So if even a little over 20 people contributed, the cost would be paid. Would you pay a $1 to be an admin? All admins would vote on the rules and every BakaBT member would be allowed to join. We could even make the server password protected so only Baka members could join. I'd love for an official Baka sever but I would be willing to set up an unofficial server if the adminds here would find it to be the best option.
We don't nearly have enough people to even make it worth it. Plus I only like playing on 64 player maps and that's well over $80 a month. Plus I would only ban glitched weapons, but I would NOT allow people firing into uncapped. At least let them have a chance to push out and make the game interesting. I really hate sitting at A or sitting at C in Bazaar with my entire team shooting into the uncap and not allowing the losing team to have a chance to take back a flag. There was a really bad game that even I was getting frustrated at. I spawned in nearly 10 times at my uncapped and I was constantly being blown up by RPGs, or the LAV, or by grenades without even being able to see yet when I spawn. Having that happen to a player on MY SERVER would make them not want to come back to my server. I'm not a fucking CoD player who "Wants to make everyone on the other side quit" because they are losing so bad. My team already has all the flags and I'm bleeding their tickets, why make it so they don't have a chance at all?
(BTW, 870MCS sniper setup is what you would think it is... but I use the M145, Slugs (obviously), and Extended Mag. It's a great little setup and works well as a flag defending class + claymores. You can flag attack/MCOM attack, but it's easier to use as covering fire for your teammates)
