Battlefield Division New Admin Scenarios of the Month

[alex2142hp1]

Welcome to the Admin Scenarios this will help for current and future admins! One a month there will be new scenarios up for you all to consider. Hopefully this will give you the chance to think about the scenarios and what actions you would need to take as an Admin and future e,eG,eGO Admins, without the stress of needing an immediate decision in game. That way, if or when you encounter the same scenario in game, you'll already have a good idea of what needs to be done without having to wonder if you're actions are correct or not.

At the end of The Month depending on when it was posted, we will post the correct answer for everyone to see, followed shortly by new questions in a different thread.

Admin Behavior
After maybe 15 minutes in the server you notice that an e,eG,or eGO admin puts out a warning, in all-chat “Dude, if you kill me again I’m going to ban/kick you
How do you handle this?
Warn player with psay/ad command depending on status of member let him/her know that we DO NOT THREATEN PLAYERS WITH KICK OR BAN EVER and please inform one of the leadership members.

Admin Not Working
After trying a couple other commands, you realize that you and the other admins in server don't have admin control anymore.
What do you do?
Inform one of the leadership members by team speak or pm

Questionable name?
The server has been full as usually in lockers, the sun is shining and the grass is green. A player joined the server named "TheNigger".
How should you handle this?
Use the psay command ask him/her nicely to change there name since its against eGO policy if they dont reply, kick for racist name from server if they return ban or request a ban depending on status of rank.

Obvious aimbot
The server is going crazy, and all the other admins in game are "e". The text chat is going lightning fast players complaining about a player hacking. You go into spectator mode and see that his weapon is shaking around like mad.
How should you handle this?
e members get an admin to ban if no one is available at the time please put in a ban request
eG kick for server disruption please place a ban request
eGO ban for server disruption please place a ban request

Considered as exploit zones?

Picture 1

NO

Picture 2 is the red circle considered exploiting?

READ ZONE YES

Admin Behavior
I would tell that admin that it isn't appropriate and to please stop. If he doesn't stop or does kick, I would then kick that admin for admin abuse. If the admin stopped or not, I would contact a member of leadership to let them know what happened.

Admin Not Working
CONTACT LEADERSHIP ASAP

Questionable name?
If he hasn't chatted or said anything nasty, I would kick the player with the reason "Inappropriate Username" and if he has, I would most likely ban him for racism. If the player comes back after a kick and continues to talk or people feel offended, and since it is considered racism, I would ban him for racism.

Obvious aimbot
I would attempt to get video proof for a demo. Once I get enough evidence, I would tban him for a day and then put in the ban request for hacking with a link to the demo as well as his bf4db page.

Considered as exploit zones?

Picture 1: No, this area is completely fine.
Picture 2: Since it is so far up the mountain, I am comfortable with saying that is exploiting and any players caught continually going up there would be w/k/b.

1: admin chat the misbehaving admin to politely warn against admin abuse, screenshot that warning and any replies, and if he or she continued then i would kick. I would never publicly disagree with them however, this is a private matter to be looked at by an advisor, whether that scrutiny come through ban request or a simple pm.
2: I would contact leadership. Check to see when is the last time i logged into maul...
3:this a w/k/b situation... However since this player has used the parent term of the word, that is a permaban. this is clear
4:I would try to get some footage and screens, but ultimately this player will be kicked for server disruption, after of course we have secured the evidence. This footage would be used to place a ban request on the forums, and if leadership was present on ts I would of course defer to their leadership.
5:I'm thinking that green rectangle in the first picture is not exploiting, but the red circle on picture 2 is most likely considered an exploit. I'm not sure if you have to run through a red zone to get up there, but i think that is exploiting... If other admins were on ts at the time, I would definitely discuss the issue with them. More heads... more brains

Admin Behavior
That's abuse of administrative powers. I would advise the admin stating this that it's against the roolz. If they do it, or continue to threaten to do it, advise leadership.

Admin Not Working
Gotta check PROCONN. Is it up? Working? Logging? Cant check PROCONN? Check with those higher up.

Questionable name?
First, I would wonder if I was on the right map, because I don't see any grass in lockers. Maybe you do, Alex, but I'm sure the rest of us don't. But anyhow, I would tell that person in a tell/whisp that they need to change their name. I would consider that nick a troll account. If they fail to comply, time for a nice bottle of kick. They come back? let's go for a 24h tban.

Obvious aimbot
Research player on cheat Db stream accounts. If the results are leaning towards cheating (High or impossible HSKR's) then a kick/tban/ban as well as filling out information on the site like I've done in the past.

Picture pages, picture pages, time to get your crayons and your pencilllssss.

1. Not an exploit zone. I use that all the time when I want to be Batman. Besides, they fixed the ceiling glitch in that area 2 patches ago.
2. Green is fine, red be not fine. Interesting to note, on the other end of the map, (A) they did not fix that glitch, but I doubt they ever will because you really can't do/see anything up there.

Admin Behavior
After maybe 15 minutes in the server you notice that an e,eG,or eGO admin puts out a warning, in all-chat ?Dude, if you kill me again I?m going to ban/kick you
How do you handle this?

I Would Psay/Teamspeak that person and say Please dont say that in chat. Admin's can not kick/ban players just for killing them. I would post this in drop box to let higher ups know about this.

Admin Not Working
After trying a couple other commands, you realize that you and the other admins in server don't have admin control anymore.
What do you do?

I Would not say anything in server chat and ask other admins and players in teamspeak to not say nothing. Best thing to do is still warn and just put in a ban request if they contue servers get nuts when they found out no admin

Questionable name?
The server has been full as usually in lockers, the sun is shining and the grass is green. A player joined the server named "TheNigger".
How should you handle this?

I would psay that player and tell him his name is not ACCEPTABLE on our servers please come back when its changed and kick the player. Although maybe he should be banned but i would ask a higher up about that

I Would ban him for server disruption and make sure to upload video.

Considered as exploit zones?

Pic 1 is OK! Pic 2 is Exploit and will be told to get down and if not removed.

 

[DroppingScience]

I take it from the first paragraph that I can participate in the admin scenarios, if I'm overstepping please let me know.

Admin Behavior:
I would privately message/talk to the person reminding them that it would be admin abuse, and therefore not allowed, to kick/ban simply because someone killed them, and that saying things like that in chat reflects poorly on eGO as a whole. Then post in the drop box to let leadership know about the incident.

Admin Not Working:
Contact a member of leadership in Teamspeak immediately after confirming no admin commands are working. Make sure any other admins present do not let slip in chat that admin commands are not working. If no battlefield leadership are online, I would contact the leadership of another division to see if they have another way of getting in touch with Battlefield leadership outside Teamspeak.

Questionable name?
Inform the player that racism is not tolerated on eGO servers, and to please leave promptly and change his name to continue playing there. If he does not comply, kick with the message 'Racism; please change your name'. If he continues to reconnect, refusing to change names, t-ban for racism and request p-ban on the forum.

Obvious aimbot:
For blatant aimbot, capture enough video for proof and t-ban for cheating. Then request p-ban on the forum with video.

Considered as exploit zones?
The first picture is not an exploit. I would also tend toward the second picture not being an exploit since it can be reached simply by jumping, without any MAV shenanigans or going out of bounds/map. Since it's a bit of a grey area, as it seems it may not have been intended by the devs to be reached (not easy to get to), I would ask other admins for their opinion on the matter before taking any action against a player going there.

 

[epicfail331]

1. Admin Behavior: If said Admin is in Teamspeak I would remind him/her that that is unacceptable behavior as an Admin. If not in Teamspeak I would use Admin chat to do the same. If said Admin follows through on the threat I would then take it up with Leadership.

2. Admin Not Working: I would seek an advisor or member of Leadership to let them know the Procon is down................again -_-.

3. Questionable name?: Yes that is not allowed and that particular use of the "N" word is bannable.

4.Obvious aimbot : Not having the ability to record, I would have to seek out the help of another Admin to begin spectating the player. But as an obvious aimbotter I would issue a T-Ban, fill out a ban request and let Leadership know the players name and GUID.

5. Pic 1: No that green section isn't an exploit.
Pic 2 the red circle is an exploit, however the green circle is not.

Admin Behavior
After maybe 15 minutes in the server you notice that an e,eG,or eGO admin puts out a warning, in all-chat ?Dude, if you kill me again I?m going to ban/kick you
How do you handle this?
If they are in teamspeak I would politely say to them that we dont kick players for simply killing. If they take it any further I would try to get in touch with an advisor or DL.

Admin Not Working
After trying a couple other commands, you realize that you and the other admins in server don't have admin control anymore.
What do you do?
Contact an advisor or DL, whoever is on at the time, and tell them that admin functions are down.

Questionable name?
The server has been full as usually in lockers, the sun is shining and the grass is green. A player joined the server named "TheNigger".
How should you handle this?
I believe this should be treated as an inappropropriate name. He isnt being directly racist toward anyone. I would tell him to please leave and change his name and if he doesnt comply then kick and submit a ban request.

Obvious aimbot
The server is going crazy, and all the other admins in game are "e". The text chat is going lightning fast players complaining about a player hacking. You go into spectator mode and see that his weapon is shaking around like mad.
How should you handle this?
I would try to get some video evidence of the guy hacking and check his stats to see if anything looks fishy. I would most likely kick him for server disruption if the chat is going crazy and submit a ban request.

Considered as exploit zones?
Pic 1 is not an exploit.
Pic 2: the portion in red is an exploit and the player should be politley warned then kicked if they dont comply.

 

[762MM_REPR]

Admin Behavior
Use admin chat or team speak and tell them that is not the correct way to warn a player. And unless it was firing in spawn or team grief scenario you can't kick for someone killing you.

Admin Not Working
Hop on team speak or forums and notify an advisor, and don't let players know admin is down. They will take that to the bank. If they do take names and submit bans request.

Questionable name?
Ask politely to have them change it. If they refuse w/k/b

Obvious aimbot
I have two accounts and a laptop I use for spectating questionable players as well as determining players firing in spawn ect. Go ahead and kick for server disruption, and submit a ban request with a video if available.

Considered as exploit zones?

I've lasted 20 minutes on the locker server before remembering we have a server that I can fly around and shoot people, but first one looks legit, second green is good, red not so much. I could always check on the exploited zones thread to verify.

 

[ElectricCookie]

the sun is shining and the grass is green.

Contact Leadership. Something is wrong with our servers. There's no green grass on Lockers...

 

[armypoilce]

1. Admin chat him/her and remained them the Admin rules if also drop box a concern message so leadership can deal with the Admin ASAP

2.if there's no bf Admins online in ts3 eighter pm them though the website or BL them but firstly check see if your maul is active and uuid is right also make sure procon is up




3.tell "thenigger" to change his name please and read our code of conduct

4. Check his stats in b4bd any 5.hacking bans Tban him then record a demo and put the b4bd link on maul notes

6. PIC 1 no pic 2 yes

Admin Behavior
Politely remind the member that we do not the tan with kicks and bans and if that's continues w/k/b.

Admin Not Working
Check with the other admins to confirm that the admin tool is offline (but don't disclose this info to the players) then continue to put out warnings and tell leadership.

Questionable name?
Ask the player to leave the game and change his or her name if he or she does not w/k/b.

Obvious aimbot
Have a eGO ban or tban that user then submit a ban request with the saved video and the players bf4db page.

Considered as exploit zones?
1: no
2: red= w/k/b. Green= good.

Admin Behavior
After maybe 15 minutes in the server you notice that an e,eG,or eGO admin puts out a warning, in all-chat ?Dude, if you kill me again I?m going to ban/kick you
How do you handle this?

Warn the admin thru TS *if on* and/or put a thread up in the Drop Box reporting it, as well as telling an advisor/DL on TS.

Admin Not Working
After trying a couple other commands, you realize that you and the other admins in server don't have admin control anymore.
What do you do?

Alert an Advisor or DL, take names and GUID's of offenders after warnings and submit ban requests NOTING that the admin commands during the time of offense were not working.

Questionable name?
The server has been full as usually in lockers, the sun is shining and the grass is green. A player joined the server named "TheNigger".
How should you handle this?

Submit a ban request for the offensive name. As in this case, it's racism, which is an "Instaban" in the eGO community. If can find an O or someone on TS to ban them do that as well, but still submit the ban request so can be banned across all eGO servers.

Obvious aimbot
The server is going crazy, and all the other admins in game are "e". The text chat is going lightning fast players complaining about a player hacking. You go into spectator mode and see that his weapon is shaking around like mad.
How should you handle this?

Take a short video and submit a ban request with the video. Try to find an eG or eGO in the TS channel to come in and remove the player for "Server Disruption."

Considered as exploit zones?

Picture 1

Legit

Picture 2 is the red circle considered exploiting?

Exploit
