I'm really sick of these custom servers. I am continually being kicked by the admins when I get really good scores (like going on a 30+ kill chopper rampage). This shit is so dumb they need to make it so the admin can't kick players once his server goes public.

i hear that it's extremely rampant on consoles. there is no real solution i'm afraid (exept of course the obvious: repent the ways of the console peasantry and join the glorious PC gaming master race) but! contrary to popular believe server admins are not allowed to do whatever they please. there is rules and conditions connected to running a ranked server. so you could report the abusive admin for violation of the ToS. where and how you'd do that i have no idea. maybe directly on battlelog..

I don't get why console admins even get kicking rights.
I mean, I think you can set the ammount of teamkills before a kick just like on pc servers, there's no in-game chat (only in squads, so that means if someone is being annoying through chat, he's annoying 3 other people at max) so that means it's there only for the occasional MAV-rider or glitcher.
I don't know if that really is worth it concedering there's probably more people abusing kicking rights like in your example

well i can see the point of it being there for removing base rapers or people refusing to PTFO. but from everything i hear from xbox playing friends the abuse seems to be mindboggeling.
mav riding was finally fixed with the last server side update though. at least for pc, dunno about 'soles.

No, you can still do it on pc. Saw a vid of it. You have to prone and look upwards or something, but you can certainly still do it
which kind of sums up the state of DICE right now

I don't know if that really is worth it concedering there's probably more people abusing kicking rights like in your example There is a VOIP option in the squad/teams menu where you can set your mic chat to the whole team (but not the enemies). Unfortunately, this isn't generally applicable, but makes servers that require communication more enjoyable. Too bad there are so few mic-only servers or just decent servers in general. I've had a lot of fun in the few ones I've found. Also you can still roadkill people without breaking your MAV

(For science) Well, I haven't gotten it down to a system yet (and I don't have any accurate way to test), but so far, it seems to me that the MAV usually won't self-destruct on a player that's running away from the MAV, as in: [MAV]>>>>> [Dewd]>>> NOT [MAV]>>> <<<[Dewd] Still trying to figure out how to keep the mav streaks rolling while being credit to team, so any input would be appreciated.

Ok my story today takes the buck:
I notice our chopper crashed, so a couple minutes later when I was dead I chose to spawn in our base, so I could take the chopper when it respawned.
Turns out the server admin was there waiting for it to respawn as well. Well, I beat him into the pilot seat. No sooner than 0.0001 seconds after taking off, I am dead, with a message "killed by an admin". He switches to the pilot seat and flies away.
Sooo I switched to the other team, grabbed a jet, and proceeded to shoot him down right away. Kicked from server by an admin.
REALLLLLLLLY!!!! And there is no DICE or EA servers left on console, only these player-owned servers. Incredibly frustrating.
