BF2 Stat Padding Crackdown

All's fair in love and war, but Battlefield 2 is a game, and to that end, EA has notified their partners in the BF2 ranked server program that their tolerance for organized stat-padding shenanigans by clans is coming to an end. Here's part of the note, as reproduced on Battlefield Nation from their forums.

As a group, Ranked Partners included, we need to work together to aggressively crack down on any server that is found to be promoting stats exploiting in order to maintain the integrity of the stats system.

The following steps will be taken each time we locate a server exploiting through enforced admin rules:

1. Customer support will strip the stats from those caught on the server at the time of discovery and anyone sharing a clan tag with the offenders that seem to have any anomalous stats.

2. We will contact the Trusted Partner who has leased the instance in question to the offending clan and request that the clan is immediately moved over to a non-Ranked server. This clan should not be given an opportunity to lease another Ranked Server from said partner, as they have too many avenues of coordinating exploitative actions.

3. If said clan continues to have access to a Ranked server, we will be removing the IP of offending server from the validated list shortly after contacting the Ranked Partner connected with them.

God forbid they add some ignore code in there.

There is some. Bring up the score list, right click to give mouse control. One of the tabs up at the top lets you mute players.

Yeah, it could be a lot easier/more intuitive but we're talking about Dice here -- they still haven't figured out keyboard binding...

Love the Dev server. Usually some good teamplay there, although it varies. It's virtually the only server I play on though -- only time I try another is if it's full.
