Re: Custom/community servers. BAD IDEA!
"I've been playing this game since BFBC2 on PC."
This is precisely the issue. You have grown up on poor representations of what a battlefield game is.
Dedicated community server represent a system where bad admins naturally either find their niche or die out.
If you don't like a particular administrator or a particular servers rules you find something else. The alternative is simply put the same nonsense you get without these systems.
Due to this it doesn't matter if you don't like particular servers or particular casuals because if you refuse to allow them to exist you get stuck with both of them in a disorganized mess of hate.
When I grew up with BF2142 I was the typical knife/glitch griefer. Partially because I was young and it was pretty fun. But when I found a server called "texas teamplayers" I was met with a welcoming community that was focused on working together.
They weren't afraid to act as admins and it kept people interested in playing the game their server presented. Sometimes people would not like that most of the time they went somewhere else and that's OK. Sometimes they would * about * they disagreed with and that's OK. As a matter of fact they made a website that let people appeal bans or report admin abuse and as a past admin with them I garuntee they took it seriously. More than that the forum was a community with many different people from all over the world. We even had a dude who was in Kuwait during the war.
Community servers represent the best of what battlefield has ever been. BC2 and games after represent the dilution of was once an amazing people.
