It Dipends How u treat people if u can be fear on everyone and not take sides, admins do loads of Not Just kill people you got to know how to spot a hacker on your server, if sumone is braking rules, stats padding, Game Bugs/ glich, So many admins dont get to play they get to monitore the server, If i were you i would ask what is requerd from you when you do become Admin peace Boris

i wouldnt admin a server unless i had some ingame experience,,,its not all that it seems,,,you have your playing time interupted constantly with people needing to be warned , kicked , banned,, and like the other guy said you need to know the clitches/ bugs, things like that,, also you would have to go read ROE and admin the server according to their guidlines as well as the server rules.

i wouldnt recomend it,, the best thing to do is use a server that you know the admin and they can do all the annoying stuff when peeps are being tards and you can enjoy your game.

Hey I am an admin, and it is not worth it.  To be a good admin you have to babysit all of the kids that come into your server.  When our server is full, I am spending more time switching out of the game to kick someone for stupid things.  Also, if you are trying to become an admin because it gives you power, do not do it.  You may abuse the power.  Also, if you are doing it to get respect, it will not give that to you either.  That "respect" is lost when the player gets mad or leaves the server.

Another thing is if you kick people for breaking your server rules, and the do not like the rule, it becomes a pain.  Admining does not stop when you leave the server either, if the server you are going to admin has a a website where the people you kick/ban can try to appeal their kick/ban, you will have to monitor that also. 

My advise is do not do it.  Being an admin does not really make BF2 more enjoyable.  Once you have been shoot so many times as you are dealing with an issue on the server, you will not like it.  Nothing personal, but at your age have fun playing the game, there may be some issues that you are not mature enough to handle.  If you have a quick temper do not, I repeat DO NOT, take the admin "position", it will make you a bad admin because your anger will control your actions. 

PS: Also, if you have to pay to be an admin, that seems a little strange.  Is that a one time fee or each month?  Are you going to be paying for part of a server?  How much power will you have as an admin?  Will you have 100% control over the server, or just able to kick people?  Will you have people that you can go to if you have any admin questions?

You have to be very vigilant and very decisive. You also have to pay attention to the game message and TS chat and VOIP. Last night we had a guy in our server teamkilling everyone in the gas station with the tank. Fortunately, I was able to kill him and kick him, but I don't how long he was doing it.

Also, we were playing last night and a tank was rolling up the ramp to the gatehouse and I was about to get a tank shell enema. Well, just as he was about to gun down a teammate, he suddenly was gone, tank sitting there empty. What had happened was one of our Admins had kicked him because he had the lowest score and a clanmate was trying to get into the server, but he forgot to check to see if he was in a vehicle. That resulted in a LOT of flaming on the forum that night.

Its all about intuition, fairness, and vigilance.

I have been an admin, and League Admin...the headaches are tremendous and the having to pay part is "suspect".

I wouldn't do it under those circumstances.

When you become an admin your first time you go through a powertrip. Thats what most newbie admins do. Your quick to ban anyone that wants to challenge your authority. I'm sure someone else on this board can validate this. Anyway though, when you do become an admin for a while, you sacrifice alot of your game time and then politics set in. Other admins constantly watch you play and if you f/up you get slammed harder than some random person playing. If you hate politics and dont want to sacrifice your gaming time and dont like getting ratted out when you do something wrong then being an admin is not for you.

Its annoying at times when you have to stop playing to kick somebody for being an ass hat but having to computers side by is nice.Don't have to atl+tab out of the game to boot somebody.
