Yesterday night starting from ~23:30 CEST I was playing on POW#2 with two friends (we were comminucating via Discord voice chat in parallel) and we're happy that there's still some servers with some moderation. Therefore we're playing on the POW servers quite regularly, usually on weekends.

However, I'm filing this report because of an issue that came up yesterday on POW#2. We had a great round in Amiens, playing together in a squad. I was leading the team while driving a tank, successfully pushing the overall team score to our advantage (455:315). Then, out of nowhere, I got moved to the other team, thus also losing my (Discord) squad. My reaction in chat was as follows (to be fully transparent): "thx admin, very nice". His/Her reaction then was "de nada" and "un placer", which translates to "no problem" and "my pleasure". After that I was quiet (while the team started to complain about unreasonable administrative behavior), but still he/she moved me two more times before kicking me from the server with the following reason: "high ping". My squad mates tried to find out what his/her true intentions were, and he/she answered with a cryptic "did not support the team" (analogous translation). I did not reconnect, the night was basically over for us. That's where I tried to find a point of contact to discuss what happened to find out if this behavior was appropriate and found this clan website. There I noticed that someone else already complained about the administrator in question ([POW]elMae5tro), who also seemed to be interested in VIP access (I guess this kind of access includes the aforementioned rights, e.g., to move players between teams).

I do not know if an administrator can see if a player is in a squad via friend invite or with Origin friends only. It just felt unjust to me to be tossed around for no valid reason. I'm not asking for an apology or anything, just hoping to not end up in this situation again. Thank you!

P.S.: I have everything recorded via Nvidia ShadowPlay in case further proof or investigations are necessary.

Hey guys.

Had a bit of an uncool run-in with one of your members abusing his admin powers on server #1 and #2. (One, then the other.) I'm not 100% sure when it was, but I think it was last Friday/Saturday (17th/18th this month).

Here's the story: It started off on River Somme on server #1. Your member/admin (whose exact name I can't recall, but it was something along the lines of "Silence Noize" on Origin) was camping in a mortar landship. His team wasn't happy about it, but you know, **** happens and so does camping. Fast-forward to the next match, this time it's Amiens. Some guy on the server (his name I do remember; "Maurgrim" on Origin) starts complaining in the chat that he got kicked from the server for "camping with a mortar". No warnings were given in the chat prior to this. From what I understood, he (Maurgrim) wasn't even using a landship or artillery truck, but a regular run-of-the-mill support mortar.

The Silence Noize guy argues he's "not allowed" to camp, completely forgetting that he did the same thing the entire previous match. I pointed out to him he was a bloody hypocrite for not just calling someone out on it, but outright kicking the guy with no warnings given. It escalated (admittedly, in a pretty non-civilized manner) but eventually, the match ended and the argument simply petered out. Or at least, so we thought. Next match was Passchendaele, and I said to the Maurgrim guy "at least that hypocrite isn't here to argue any more" (or something along those lines), and shortly thereafter Silence Noize appeared in the console chat as an admin.

And that's where it got nasty. First, he kicked Maurgrim (again!) and then he kicked me. I joined your other server (#2), thinking/hoping I'd at least be free of that guy's admin abuse there, but it seems he noticed me joining it as well, as after a match or two he called me out through the console, saying "I see you're talking shit everywhere Seasick", and kicked me for the second time, both times citing "offensive behaviour" as the reason for my kicks.

Unfortunately, I didn't think to take any screenshots or video recordings of any of this. Not exactly a common instinct, since I rarely play on moderated servers these days (admittedly because admin abuse is always a significant risk) and with the kicks and the like being pretty "out of the blue". Nonetheless, I can't in good conscience let ****** behaviour like this slide.

You claims the Admin kicked the other guy with Reason: "camping with a mortar".
It's not true because he can't give Reason like that in game.
The Task of the Admin is to balance the teams and if he saw
the Tank Driver was camping at the Base is very bad for his Team. I think a good Decision to switch him.
You didn't have any Screenshot, but he has: you insulted Silence and wrote him badmin. He did only his Job that's all.
