The rules are pretty clear for those who understand.
As per EA, servers are not allowed to restrict the use of weapons, by restrict it means not allowing players to choose certain weapons by modifying game code as done by severs for games such as CS etc. Therefore you cannot run a public server that only allows you to choose a knife or does not allow you to choose a M320 in our config. The rule does not state that you are not allowed to warn, kick or ban people after they have used a weapon, ie throwing a nade or using an M320. The rule is pretty obvious as the a huge amount of top 100 servers are metro only and kick you for using explosives. As long you are not meddling with their code, they cant care less about what you do on a server.
Hope that clears the cloud about the rule.

No Killer, I am very strong against unfair playing conditions and anytime I have been kicked or banned I took the server down with me. It is easy to do it is just most people do not know how to do it. Kicking, banning, and so on because of weapon use are the direct violation that EA and PB will not tolerate

Please send me a list of servers you have “taken down”, would love to see.
The ranking will be gone for that server anyways because we are switching all popular maps to one of our other servers and then we'll have to get the server ranking back up. Just saying.

Another thing I just noticed. Why is that 75% of the server changes or plugins or mode changed occur on BF3 servers and very little on BC2 servers. All pop ranking has been consistently at its best in the past month, yet there is some pressing need to add another plugin or make yet another change to something that has been successful recently. Another thing added to an already laggy server. My guess by looking at gametracker, this plugin is causing some insane lag(it is lagging horribly now, and the server is empty) and has been pretty much dead since the plugin was put in place. What is the point of adding yet another plugin to a server that has been doing well and that has caused more problems than benefits. The logic is quite impressive........

You made claims that had no proof, killer was simply asking for some sort of proof that you have lead to a server being taken down by EA he wasn't trying to start a fight from what it sounds like. I know a couple people who run servers outside of eGO that ban M320 and explosives and what they do to avoid any confrontation with EA at all(even though EA almost NEVER does anything to remove servers that break the weapon ban rule) is to ban a player for being an "asshat" and to never ban for spamming M320 that way the server can ban whoever it likes with no backlash.

Most plugin changes happen on the BF3 servers because plugins are actively being made for the BF3 servers. No one in BF leadership has coded a plugin that is on our servers. All of them are ones we find on the community forums. Since BF3 is the current game, developers are making plugins for it. BC2 doesn't have anywhere near the same variety or number of plugins so the plugins rarely change.
The plugin was turned on after the server emptied. As for whether the plugin is lagging the server, I have serious doubts about that. See the ms paint graphic below for how our servers work:
So whenever we add a plugin, it is added to eGO's box on the procon layer. It does not take up any extra resources on the actual server's box. Back when I was seeing if a plugin was causing lag, I removed the connection between the two boxes for a bit and the server still lagged just as bad.
As for the plugin, it has been removed for the present. Also what HC AM changes to when May 1 comes is still completely up in the air. There are so far a couple possibilities that I have heard: HC AM, Normal Pop Maps, HC Pop Maps, B2K, Some combo of expansions like AM and EG. If you have some suggestions for that feel free to send them to us.

I could have so much fun responding to that but I will remain constructive instead.
Since the all pop server is known for its lag. Switch the new Aftermath server to the same settings as the current all pop. Use a server that has no lag issues to run the server setting that have been most successful. Waiting 6 months to transfer the All pop server is foolsih and the server will be dead long before the server is transferred to a new provider. Before we lose what loyalty we have from pub players it would be far more beneficial than to wait until August 1st or whatever the date chosen. Before there are any silly excuses about why not to change. Remember what you said, post any suggestions. This suggestion is for the better of the division and an attempt to keep our servers liked by pubs and gain populatiry again. All the progress made on all pop is delightful to watch but sad to see it ruined by the severe lag problems. Switch the new aftermath server to all pop and run a smooth server with the setting and let the current all pop with the lag problems run on HC aftermath. Saving what popularity our servers have now rather than later is important, it would be foolish to wait 6 months to do so and end up with all servers dead
I'm not sure if this is ok to post here, but if our HC AM server doesn't pick up to required standard I found that this server is doing very well in its use of HC ALL POP like Short suggested in the original post.

I hear what your saying. Sounds good on here, now one of the all pops will be going away here soon from what I have been looking at. That is why we changed the HC AM server to all pops. Now comes our EG server and that will be handled soon. Thank You
Lol its all pop bigbird...it stays full without anyone helping. Our old server has had more people in than the new since anyway. At least its that way from 10 at night till 6 in the morn EST. But yea, great job on the clone server!
