Are BF 1 [DICE] servers located in Germany official?

There are a lot of BF 1 servers marked as [DICE] in their names. Why I am asking? I got banned midgame playing a light tank and making a 20+ kill streak. Got banned with the message "Frick off" ...

    Hi BattlebornNomad

    That would have been a rented server masquerading as an official one. Official Dice servers don't have active admins kicking players, and if they did they certainly wouldn't send a message like the one you received when you were kicked and banned. 

    In case it helps, when you're using the server browser, you can tell if a server is actually official by checking who the host is. If there's a player name listed then it won't be official.

    Hey!

    Thank you for clarifying that.

    I am kind of surprised that EA allows players to name servers by mentioning developers’ studio names. Such actions by common players may cause some reputation damages to the company. And yes, there is a host name in the server’s info. 

    Again, I am grateful to you for replying to my thread.

      It's probably something that could be solved by not allowing certain words in server descriptions. I'd be quite annoyed if I ended up on one of those servers and received an abusive message from an admin too.
