BF2S Forums admin kick for clan players

what is the rules, if any, that server admins use when they kick a player to make room for a clan member?

Lots of reasons, depends on the admin themselves more than anything I guess.

I've been kicked a few times to make room for an admin, and not once that I can remember was I the lowest scorer or had the highest neg team points or anything like that, to make me the obvious choice; and I know for sure that at least a couple of times there were guys playing lone wolf with no points or close to it that could have been chosen.

Once I was definitely kicked to make room for an admin on the winning side, since the server wasn't even close to being full and we were one player up. That's pretty funny actually, perks of being an admin I guess. This still counts as a win for the guy being kicked so if it happens to you don't sweat it too much.

I was also kicked "for excessive teamkilling or because of a successful kick vote" once, the standard catch-all Punkbuster message, and I'm certain it was an attempt to get the gold medal for one of the clan members as I had the highest score and they were in the second, third and fourth positions. Luckily I managed to get back in just in time to foil his plan

On the rare occasion we need to kick someone to make room for a clan member, we go for anyone with a neg score, anyone who looks like thay are AFK, anyone who's been a bit of a prick, and failing that we just kick whoever has the highest ping. It's only once in a blue moon we ever have to do it tho thanks to the reserve slots feature.

Autobalance I believe will transfer the first person to be killed when the teams are uneven by 2 or more players.

High ping, idlers, negative score, retards.

Crazy is indeed right, although I thought you couldn't be switched when being squadleader but can't confirm that.

Yea it's usually low score or high ping first. Being moved to the other team is because your not in a squad or lowest score.

auto B will quite happily switch people in squads. I think the only person immune to switching is the commander, at least on our server anyway. We just run bog standard BF2, no admin plugins or anything, we found they increased server crashes :-/

As for the comment about "Admins that play on a server where they pay a monthly fee for renting it can kick whoever they want for whatever reason they like, their server - their rules ! Are heaps of stories of people that have experienced such episodes, me included !" that isn't entirely true, if it's a ranked server the admins still have to stay within the ROE, so for instance I couldn't kick you because you shot me during a "knife only" round, as that would be against the ROE. Obviously if I was a smacktard admin (which I'm not!) I could kick you for such a reason, but then you would be within your right to go bitch to EA/Dice about it and if they could be arsed they could unrank our server.

Close by US standards maybe (Ireland is tiny) but not really, it's in another part of the country.
