Automatic kick if not apologize for tk

It's amazing. You can maybe get distracted when the server is full, and maybe you did not realise about the tk. It can happen, we're human.
But seriously, 12v12 server.... 27 players online and a guy run over you with the jeep, or kill you shooting an enemy, and not a fucking "sry", "sr", "sorry"... I mean, I am not asking you to say "Is with my deepest sorrow that I regret for the TK". NO. JUST - SAY - FUCKING - SORRY.

It's a shame. So here is my idea: automatic kick if the server does not recognize you type "Sorry", "sr", "sry", or something like that.

Is this maybe too difficult to settle in the server? It makes your game experience a damn shame when you play with people who don't give a shit about it.

Nah, that won't work. In cramped fighting conditions, as you mentioned, you might not notice you have TKed.
And when there's a lot of killing going on the message gets lost too many times (sometimes it even can't be found browsing the console).
What if trolls and idiots jump into your fire - wanna say sorry to them then?
Another example: countless times players trying to enter the APC were run over because when position 2 is occupied
getting into the truck is only possible at the rear half of the vehicle.
etc., etc.
It would be way better to bring back the ftk and ptk commands.

I guess my hitting PTK for no apology has been useless...  been doing it for years, lol.  Who knew!

Re: Automatic kick if not apologize for tk

Well, ftk and ptk were once active, but haven't been since months (years?), yet the server text still mentions them.
Some players are completely unaware of its existence, while others simply do not know how to use it properly.
It's a shame, really, 'cause it could be quite useful.
Nevertheless, it's a delicate matter, as like all useful things, it can be abused.
In any case, there is plenty of room for discussion.

For me (and I think for many others) it was always easier to simply write "sry" instead of hitting those commands.
Don't think I've seen them actually work, did they print a special apologetic message to the victim?

I think ftk works, but sry is more useful, imo.

Re: Automatic kick if not apologize for tk

What the heck?
Does it really need a philty truck driver to tell 'em what is going on ??
Alright. This thread was originally about the Angry Djungle Dweller irrationally suggesting kick for not saying sorry.
Now, having a gaming session with well mannered players is something most of us most certainly do appreciate.
These ftk and ptk commands were meant to teach a lesson to those whose TKs are questionable.

They did work, Minnie, here on SiMPLE. The settings were like this:

TK             =   a few seconds spawn time added
TK + ftk     =   normal spawn time
TK + ptk    =   regular penalty + spawn time added from every victim who applies ptk

According to a BFSM control panel a player can also be kicked after receiving a certain number of ptks,
regardless of his score.
Ah, by the way, bf1942.eu shows all this as enabled on SiMPLE, if i'm not mistaken.

But i'm just a truck driver, if anyone knows better, please step forward and correct me, i'm fine with it.

Cheers.

Wow seems that I have missed the era of having a penalty for the team kills. With no admin around it promises to be a handful feature to punish disruptors. 

What was the feedback on the commands back then?
