D4n Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 (edited) I always found it very user-friendly to have a free2play aircraft on both teams and not just on one, because that makes both teams equally accessible to new DCS players and that way makes teambalancing easier. And landing on 30° slopes to deploy Stingers on hills (or night landings on one of shortest runways with Stinger on board) was hella fun 1 year ago before ED broke the Stingers.

D4n Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 (edited) Basic administration policy like the following is usually common sense within the multiplayer-server-hosting communities throughout the entire gaming-industry, but due to my past experience with BlueFlag administration (which was mostly positive btw.), it seems it's for the best of all to make those MP-pilots (those who either never knew or forgot) aware of those again (the following, in fact, is a scaled-down version of actual guidelines of a Forbes-featured gaming-company): - Admins should make an effort to promote a culture of teamwork and communication through their actions on the server and through the creation of written server rules which do likewise. - Admins should encourage a fair, friendly and sportsmanlike atmosphere when mediating interaction between pilots (between "lonewolfs" and squadron-pilots for example). - Server owners and admins should ensure that they and their communities are conducting themselves in a reasonable and respectful manner, server owners and/or admins should be acted on accordingly (by DCS customers or ED staff) for any offensive behaviour in their server, chat/text, kick/ban reason or in bias/discrimination to these points through their actions. - Admins should only kick a player after an initial warning and giving the player sufficient time to comply to the warning, and only expected to ban if the player continued to not comply after a kick. - Admins should never suddenly impose rules that at the time are not in written form in either the mission-description or in the DCS-server's Discord-server (or another social platform). - Servers should make clear how players should conduct themselves while on the server and make clear how players can appeal a ban and via which platform (ED forum or Discord for example).

Quote if you explicitly need every thing written out it only shows that you are looking for loopholes to exploid. Negative, it only shows that I strive for clear rules for everyone, to minimize the risk for others to trap into the same s..t that I trapped into and to counter the risk of abuse of DCS server-admins (abuse-example: "whoa whoa, I don't like what this one player is doing, I don't give a ***** what other players on my server think about it, bam, insta-ban, ha!" out-of-nowhere... ) And you ignoring my mentioning of the super-super basics of ruling (1. warning, 2. kick, 3. ban) and you not giving your opinion on it doesn't help the DCS-community either, Nero...
