I have played lots of games and seen lots of badmins. To be fair, I have seen a few admins that were downright gentlemen too.
What are your experiences with badmins on BC2 servers as well as any other games?
To get the ball rolling, perhaps I should start with one of the best admins I ever dealt with in a game. The game was like a cross between CounterStrike & Quake3 with outdoor maps and cartoony graphics but with fairly realistic gun-play. To be fair, since that game had proper spectator mode it was a very different situation to BC2. The hard evidence of a video demo of each accused cheater was the basis for any ban and they were all stored on the website if anybody wanted to try and dispute it. Anyway, the last server that I played on for over a year was owned and administered by one of the nicest people that I ever met while gaming. Always even-handed, never impatient, and always willing to give people the benefit of the doubt whenever it was possible. Playing on that server was such a positive experience for me because it was such a stark contrast to the generally petty behavior that most server owners displayed.
