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?

its a pain in the ass i dont like it

I dont know how many times i crushed\c4ed\knifed just to warn\kick\ban people, especially weekends it gets worst i mean i have to kick somebody every 2 mins but it is nice to have the power of kicking and banning assholes.

Is single-player okay or does it have to be home-baked?

Admins suck.

I spend half my time online riling up admins and modes.

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.
