Exactly this. If you’re banned from a server simply for playing the game, report the server to EA DICE, it can get the server banned. ---

Terms of service for hosting a server states that you can not put rules in place that inhibit normal gameplay in any way. That means you can’t ban people for using guns that you “banned” ---

Hmm… Good find in the TOS. So what’s available to us as the players to stop this banning? ---

There isn’t a way for the players to stop the banning besides PM to others on the server, so basically a boycot. Also report the server to DICE as they should be able to track that ban and potentially shut down the server itself. ---

Sucks there’s no better way to deal with it. But there’s plenty more servers out there. ---

Yeah. I have been kicked/banned for some of the dumbest reasons ever. Standing on a certain rock (they called it boosting), being tired in a jet (I crashed too much), and others. Pretty dumb reasons. ---

best one I found was just no running if not being shot at. There was a sniper on the other team with loads of kills and just everyone disconnecting. ---

Can people make they’re own severs on BF4 yet or do we need to wait for the update to happen first? ---

To everyone wondering, yes it was a ranked/official server. ---

Not when it’s a ranked server. People would be farming points and unlocks if server admins could make their own rules. ---

It sounds like you joined a crouch only server. ---

I’ve been on that same server. It’s a thing they do, idk why. Kinda fun to play but odd and they are serious about the crouching.
