New Rules - Disconnecting for being #0

Hi I post this considering the recent server rules updates.

I've not been much connected last weeks on vanilla server, but almost everytime I was, I witnessed that always the same guys were #0 or around, several times in a row.
I saw Maj.MerliN and 000 ofc, I wouldn't expect else, but I also saw many regular players, even admins, always being from #0 to #10.

So I just wondered if this rule is still on, because if it's not anymore then I will do it too.

Thx for considering.

Question is not whether it's stupid, question is whether it's a rule.

...

I tell you something.

If i connect in middle of a Map, getting ID between 43 and 58, as example, then i have 3 rounds later ID 0 to 2, (the normal way, doing nothing).

My PC is 10 year old, (GraCa is 7), and nothing special and i have normal Internet.

And yes, that rule is not really thought to the end.

Except rare times with luck I never get under #10 without disco/reco.
I'm talking about having #0-10 many maps in a row.

Re: New Rules - Disconnecting for being #0

Why dont have a peek how it looks like? First in server and first to spawn. Judging from low or rambling response from admins here, i think they either dont understand how it works or simple just given up on the question.

Re: New Rules - Disconnecting for being #0

So is this ''rule'' made specifically to target  000/merlin?

I wouldn't mind if it's only for them, just don't make it global. It's still dumb though.

If there was a way to somehow make the server's ping appear ''999''  for a bit longer when changing map, that would largely fix the problem. If it's even possible.

Re: New Rules - Disconnecting for being #0

Such rule only creates more tension on the server; as if the server wasn't enough fucked up with different mods and server settings already. The atmosphere is completely toxic between players and that comes from the fact that gameplay on simple is not enjoyable anymore. Anyone who tries to work for the team to win or is passionate about building score ends up frustrated. People don't even remember what vanilla BF42 was like. The server enables talks shows and just screwing around because it has been destroyed in the favor of total braindead players.

Yes it would be nice if we had the balls to tell Merlin, Test01 and 000 to stop abusing this low ID reconnect stuff.
Would also be fun to play a few weeks of total vanilla BF1942!

@Simon: "Anyone who tries to work for the team to win or is passionate about building score ends up frustrated"  - Do you mean frustrated by too short spawntimes, 100% ff, mod with vehicles, or something else?
Through my about 2 years of experience with Simple I started to acknowledge and accept the currrent state of public BF42. When maybe 70% of the users are newbies and playing a different kind of game and enjoying different stuff, it's gonna be impossible to meet even half way.

Re: New Rules - Disconnecting for being #0

Reconnecting to get lower ID number like ID 0 is not forbidden at the moment and that rule is objectively very hard to apply and it's legitimacy is questionable at the very least. As far as I know Tuia and/or his modding team have a solution for this reconnecting abuse and I guess it was already tested but was removed afterwards. We are looking forward to discuss this low ID case with Tuia.

Re: New Rules - Disconnecting for being #0

I only do it as I would be fu**ed equipment wise completely given my ping as well as my main interest is using said assets well to help team and if possible neutralize 000's efforts to monopolize top points c***t.
