Why was I kicked
I just got TKed by Neo and I of course called him a fag and asked him why he TKed me. 30 seconds later I got kicked from the server. What the hell is going on here? Let me guess neo is an admin????

I do not know an admin named NEO, however, calling somene a "FAG" is a kickable and sometimes bannable offense.
This kind of language is not tolerated on any ECGN server.
Can you reconnect to the game? If so, then consider it a warning to whomever kicked you.

Man, I'd better be careful. Sometimes I refer to Bagginses as "Bag". Of course last night after he bombed me out of my Sherman, I called him something much worse.Originally posted by Tommy Boy
still no need to use that language...

MU Tiger,
I gave you a permanent ban for that language. I also gave Neo a week ban for the TK.
Please do not use that kind of language here. We will not tolerate it.
If you wish to resume playing here, please read the rules.
Getting TeamSpeak will also help so that you can get an admin to take care of those
s when they turn up. It is also alot of fun being part of the strategies that are used during the game.
PM MMmmGood your IP address and you will be unbanned.

M.U., I'd hate to see that happen. I've always been impressed with your gameplay.Originally posted by M.U. Tiger
I can't believe you banned me for that. That was weak. You guys need to lighten up. Don't worry about it, I just will not come back. Thanks for the fun while it lasted.
This may not be a bridge you want to burn. Lots of bad, bad servers/communities out there.
My advice, which you can take or leave is to cool-off and come back when this doesn't seem like such a big deal.

Well, since you don't understand the detrimental effects on society of bigotry and racism, YOU ARE NOT WELCOMED BACK!
Have fun on the EA servers.
buuuuuh byyyyeee

I probably should not have used that term, I will admit that it was wrong and I said out of extreme anger, BUT I have seen worse language than that used without repercussions. I also got kicked the other night in Aberdeen, right after I killed, Floppy/Admin. I immediatley got back on the server and asked why I was kicked and no ever told me. Maybe it just coincided with me killing Floppy/Amdin. This is a good server and you guys are a good group. I just think it is a little extreme to ban a person for one incident like that.
*Edited
Apparently I was typing my post when Wairudo posted his, and I did not see his message so I guess it doesn't matter.

I think you're partially a victim of slang. Fag is one of those words that's casually thrown around and it's almost become synonymous with 'idiot', or dumbass. A lot of people say a tactic is 'gay' but I doubt that's a bannable offense even though it's derogatory when used in that fashion. There's a real fine line here which is, obviously, defined by admins (of which I'm not).

It is a bad slang term.
I don't see anything in the rules about being banned for any type of language. I am not trying to say what I did was acceptable by any means, but I have seen worse. This is the only thread I could find on server rules. The sticky at top of the Battlefield series forums page.

i believe ecgn is working on updating the server rules. however, i think it's unlikely that an all inclusive and specific list of offenses will ever be feasible. there are simply too many examples and nobody would take the time to read them.
you received a harsh but not necessarily extreme punishment. you've stated your case and i'm sure most folks around here are understanding. your best course of action would be to get back on the server, avoid similiar behavior in the future, run teamspeak and have fun.

M.U. here is the problem as I see it.
You came in asking this, and in this manner
"I just got TKed by Neo and I of course called him a fag and asked him why he TKed me. 30 seconds later I got kicked from the server. What the hell is going on here? Let me guess neo is an admin????"
Asking what the hell is going on and guessing NEO was an admin thus making vague accusations that an admin will just kick if he wants to, is not a good way to begin a thread.
Many a time a player has made the same mistake for language, a tk etc and have shown a more mature approach when asking why him or her was kicked or banned.
Your question was then answered by said admin in which you replied with
"I can't believe you banned me for that. That was weak. You guys need to lighten up. Don't worry about it, I just will not come back. Thanks for the fun while it lasted."
By stating a rule is "weak" is not showing any respect for the admin who banned you himself nor to the operators of ECGN who agree and dictate these rules themselves. I can tell you right now, "higher ups" would not have tolerated that kind of talk themselves.
Whether you think it is a slang or should be appropriate is not the point here. ECGN has rules, guidelines or policies that admins must follow and abide by. This is not a perfect society so what may seem appropriate does not for many other gamers out there and some would take offense to the term, as many have in the past.
I have no problem unbanning you and if Wairudo is still open for it, I think you can understand where we come from. The ECGN admins do their damndest to please everyone and be fair and just, but sometimes there is confsion as well as a hard line to step across.
Hope this helps.

As far as I know, a reasonable amount of cursing is ok. If you get frustrated, I don't think anyone will get pissed if you let an occasional "fuck" fly, but when it comes to terms like that, some people take offense. I know I do. However, the admins here are reasonable, just make sure in the future you try to bite your tongue...

P.S. Hightimber, don't worry about it.
