BF4 Admin Abuse

Admins that regularly participate on their servers in most cases provide value and a more enjoyable environment for gaming. They can quickly put an end to players that are disrupting the gameplay and make others think twice before doing the same.

However, it seems that an increasing number of admins are not using their authority to enhance their server environment, but rather to troll their constituents. Beware of beating the admin too many times lest you incur his hasty wrath.

Surprisingly, after conversing further with the admin about his reasoning it would seem that you're talking with a teenager that hates the world, but rather he/she is middle aged in many cases!

Just recently on the SNiG clan server, evidently I bested one of their admins too many times and was kicked. The stated reason was an insult that made no sense.

After several of us questioned his reasoning, he simply stated, "because I can" and then kicked me, but not before seasoning it with a vulgar personal insult. Unfortunately, the only recourse that is available in response to such behavior is to no longer frequent that server. In some cases you can visit the clan's website and provide a case there. I have had some favorable results when that is an option.

Even if DICE decided to make an option for reporting admins, it would be subject to such abuse that it would become prohibitive for them to maintain it. Until then, I'll just be happy to record badmin behavior and post it for a good laugh.
