Server Rules and Conduct extension for the BFP4F division.


Art. 1. General behavior of all persons should at all times be in-line with all Old Guys Gaming Community codes and regulations, if otherwise then admin action should be taken to correct the instance. Old Guys Gaming Community can be recognized by the following tags: [OG] and -=OG=-.
1° Respect all persons in AND out of the server. At no time should there be any character bashing of anyone or of any kind.
2° Avoid complaining about or ridiculing other people's style of gameplay.
3° Be gracious in your victories and losses. Nobody really cares how good you are, nor does anybody enjoy hearing you complain every time you die (i.e., 'wtf', 'lucky shot', 'my team sucks'). However, good-natured taunting between friends is encouraged. We are here to have fun!
4° No profane, racial, derogatory or inappropriate language should be used. This includes anything that could be taken incorrectly or out of context and insinuations of language that would otherwise be inappropriate.
5° The use of political, drug, racial, religious, and foul language as names is strictly prohibited and should be considered inappropriate.
6° There should be no arguing or smack talking of any kind in the servers. However, good-natured taunting between friends is encouraged. We are here to have fun.

Art. 1bis. Absolutely no use of Exploits, Hacks, cheating at any time. This includes anything that gives any person an advantage over another by any other means than by true skill. Understand that you are the only one that should be playing under your registered account. Allowing others to play for you is considered stat padding and is considered the same as having a program bot play for you to gain rank and global scores. You will be reviewed and possibly suspended/released from the community for this. Our servers are monitored at all times and screenshots will be taking of violators. This evidence will be sent to the game publishers along with your CD Hash and IP address.
1° No Stat padding will be tolerated. This includes any team work or exploit to pad your score or gain higher rank.
2° There should be no accusing anyone of Cheating/Hacking, if you have a legitimate concern take it to an admin. Otherwise record a demo for review by the Community at a later date. Accusing someone of Cheating/Hacking while in a public server is strictly prohibited.

Art. 1ter. We like to use the language ‘English’ as main language on our server(s) to communicate. We don’t strictly enforce it from the start. But when admins, moderators, members of the Old Guys Gaming Community think you break the rules in another language, they can enforce the language English as the language you should use in our server(s). If you continue using another language other then the English when asked to do so, sanctions might follow.

Art. 1quater. There should also be no arguing with admins, moderators, players or members about the rules that are herby stated. If there is a dispute regarding a rule or act of enforcement it should be brought up to the respective game leader, in the correct section of the Old Guys forum when a complaint section is present at the Old Guys forum or through personal contact with pm’s or mail.

Art. 2. Websites and advertisements are not to be used in a name or in typed text. Recruiting for any reason other then for Old Guys Gaming Community is also prohibited and shows lack of respect towards our community.

Art. 3. Spawn camping and base raping are strictly forbidden on all Old Guys Gaming Community servers.
1° To determine what is spawn rape and what is not. If a person camps at a position close or in the spawn, with the intention to stay there and kill players when they spawn is labeled as spawn rape. A player passing by the spawn or taking the flag and killing players that spawned in his environment with the intention not to stay at the spawn place is not considered spawn rape.
2° To determine Base rape all bases should be taken from the ally team, otherwise you cannot speak of a base rape. When players have the intention to stay or be in the environment of the base with the intention to continuous kill players in the base is considered as base rape and therefore not allowed. A jet passing by once and dropping a bomb and killing players will not be considered as base rape. If this is happening in a repetitive way this will be considered as base rape since he has the intention to kill continuous players by flying by and dropping bombs in the base.

Art. 4. No team killing or acts leading or could be seen as team killing.
1° no runway griefing this includes destroying jets, helicopters, vehicles,ect… *pushing, driving, flying, ect.. people of the runway or other.

Indeed it does.

I am glad to have a referrable set of rules so we can point players to this when there is a discussion ingame.
I do feel however that Art. 3. 1° could do with just a little more explanation.

I.m.o. the essence of spawnrape is that the relevant player camping close to or in the spawn is not showing the intention of capping the flag. (meaning they deliberately stay out of the flag capping zone)

If I am at a flag, trying to cap it, and repeatedly shoot enemies whilst trying to cap that flag, it should not be considered spawnraping. It could take a while before the flag turns, and you could have quite a few kills in the process, making you an easy target for spawnrape complaints.

I advise to put in the " intention" bit.

For the rest: * :D *
Thanks for this!

i don`t consider this to be spawn camping as your there doing a JOB not just killing for xp.

Exactly how I see it, but considering:
quote
"If a person camps at a position close or in the spawn, with the intention to stay there and kill players when they spawn is labeled as spawn rape."
unquote

it could be explained differently, since that is also true when capping a flag and defending yourself!


So, please allow me to offer 1 minimal text solution (after which I will shut up :lol: )

"If a person camps at a position close or in the spawn, with the sole intention to stay there and kill players when they spawn is labeled as spawn rape"

That would also contain that the person does not intend to cap the flag!

The point of this was to put a detailed list of rules so people could see the exact definition of some terms.
I adjusted Article 3 member 1 a bit. ;)

Guys about the Taxiing rule.......

i saw someone use Gaz/Hmwwv on OG2 jumped in it and drove it from D spawn up the left side of B anddumped it by the steps leaving the Hmwwv useless to any of our team mates classing it as under the rule wasting assets...

why cant he be kicked for that as he was on his own and could of got more guys in ang gone to a flag..
