Hi there. While it is always pleasent to wander the games and meet new clans and groups, and usually I take great care in fostering a positive attitude not only because it represents myself but also my own clan. (as is natural of being a member and having tags) However unfortunately today I am popping in to bring to light a complaint I have involving a member with admin status on your BF3 server. (precisely, TBGclan.com | 24/7 AIR MAPS 1000 TICKET | 64P | NO LAG)
I had already played through a couple of maps, and was inded enjoying the atmosphere and play (even if I was getting pwned like a diaper-wearing noob.). However about three maps in it cycled to Caspian border, I was on US side. On spawn as usual I headed towards the helicopter spawn and noted it was gone. So i waited in the area for it to respawn. When it did I ran to the helo and got in, dropping to the gunner seat as Dirty-Lex (the one I am issuing the complaint about) had ran ahead and claimed the seat.
I was prepared to fill the gunner role when I noted the chat displaying an @kill command and discovered it was directed at me, without warning by any admin in any fasion. On respawn I asked as to the reason and got no response. I also noted a discussion beginning between the same admin and a player on RU side, which progressed over the next minutes to him claiming to be killed while in the no-cap zone and issuing a complaint also involving Dirty-Lex. By this time again the helo had died, respawned, and Dirty rushed to the vehical and claimed it though I was again in the vicinity waiting for it to appear. Feeling miffed at the situation I challenged him on abusing his administrative rights.
As the discussion progressed, the helo once again spawned, i was in the region, and Dirty-Lex rushed ahead to claim the vehical while I gained the gunner seat. This time I was not killed and allowed to assist. However the discussion continued on and after dying I once again respawned in the US main to take a place in line. I had bailed due to incoming rockets that I thought were not deterred by a flare drop and consequently arrived at the spawn point long before Dirty-Lex. While in place, I was teamkilled by Dirty-Lex by being run over by a jeep, at which point he immediately took the helicopter that spawned soon after. This being an obvious and blatant violation of the rules as posted by chat-box message at regular intervals led me to once again challenging the player and making a basic statement that an admin must be beholden to the same rules that he enforces. Otherwise it becomes hypocritical. My exact phrasing was "The rules must apply to everyone, or else they can apply to -no one-." A basic tennet of every administrative function in process be it online or not.
Dirty-Lex's response was a threat to kick me for disrespect. I countered by asking how it was disrespectful to bring to light an abuse of power. An honest question that recieved no response, and which ended that line of discussion. However then Dirty-Lex claimed that I had cut the line for the helo and that was why he killed me. (To which I refer to the description of the event rather than retype it) Both myself and the other players (One on RU side who i believe may have also been an admin as he threatened one person with kicking for base camping) were frustrated with the conversation. So i ceased to respond and ended the match, at which point I left the server.
I do not know if this person has had similar problems before, and i also understand this may just have been the result of a compounded misunderstanding. Nor do I know what your process is for these matters. My wish is to simply bring this event to your attention so that you may act on it according to your whims. However regardless of the start of the situation, I would advise that you examine his actions during the discussion and recognise them (of most significance the teamkill) as being at the very least unprofessional.
I assure you that whatever your response to this (if any at all) this will be the only post I make on the subject, and as far as i am concerned the matter is closed and dealt with. It happened. Life goes on. Until that point i enjoyed the server and would indeed return if the whim hit me. As I stated before the purpose of this is merely to bring it to your attention.
As a post note if this is placed in the wrong area I apologise. I was unable to locate amy other thread that suited the topic. 'Feedback' was the closest I could find.
