Good as in just really good, not hacking, not base camping or spawn raping or anything, just really good.
Bad as in doesn't even know how to punish TK's. Think EA TH if you're unfortunate enough.

the only reason someone sould be kicked is if they are: Hacking(and they are admitting it), TKing or if they are a complete Cockhead.

You can't kick someone just for being bad! Afterall the games about having fun, whether you suck or not doesnt matter.

We all paid around the same price for our game, afaik there is no special gold version that gives anyone more rights than anyone else, so if someone plays bad then why should they be disallowed? Same as ubergood, why should they get special treatment?

If it's a very busy server, and you have 2-3 players who absolutely suck, then kick em

I'm very sorry for you, but your stats don't show, that you are so BAD, someone would kick you for

I think i see what you are asking. Is it right to kick based on skill in a sense to create some effect like skill based match making? At this point no, it just creates confusion and angst, but I do think it would have been a good idea to have server tiers (i.e. Private to Gunnery Sergeant only, Master/First Sergeant to Captain, etc).

I think it shouldn't matter had bad someone is aslong as they ain't TK or hurting anyone in the process then they should be allowed to stay.

Never kick someone because of his skill as long as he does not break any legit rule.

Well every 1 was crap at the game at some point (expect you guys who played tonnes of other FPS before Bf2 and even then u were bad at FPS to begin with, then improved over time) and the only way to learn is to PLAY, so you shouldn't kick some one if they do not have the awesome skill you do .

Not a bad idea, except if u want to play with lower or higher ranking friends, also most servers will only host mid range rank, servers. the ranks that are most common, and all the new people or really high people wont have any were to play.

We were all noobs at some point, everyone has a right the play the game. Though somtimes id like to kick people who should practice chopper flying on unranked servers or single player, not in the middle of a heated battle. But still, gotta let them at it

Now will you please turn off the frickin caps lock?  And yes, if the sniper is sitting in his uber 1337 sniper spot and doesn't notice that the team has no spawn points, fucking kick him.  But when he's dogging you on the scoreboard by >10 points, you lose.

Just because you are better than them doesn't mean that they don't have the right to play the game. Certainly that may not be easy to accept sometimes, but its the damn truth.

sniper is a good change of pace. sometimes you dont want to furiously gun it out and cap flags round after round. i think there should only be a set % or number of snipers per team tho. say 32 players = 5 snipers max.
