 unranked servers IS our right. But to say that we can't be trusted to follow the rules of a ranked server is a little broad wouldn't you say?
I had no problem running a ranked server in cod4 as long as they gave us the choice; and honestly believe anyone hacking anything, especially and entire server should be banned for life; along with anyone who participated.
You have been on my server; on many occasions’ unless there's another dot.com running around? but you never noticed me be cause I was playing my game (not setting in spec just waiting to drop the ban hammer; as you would like people to believe) but if I weren't there ensuring some form of civility; your stay might have been less enjoyable.
We (admins) are not the bad guys; if anything we're the cops (unwillingly I might add).
Our only concern is to keep honest people honest (especially in OUR servers; that WE pay for)
The rules on a given server are there to keep order, just like the laws in society; else there would be anarchy.
As well as to set an even playing field; just like any board or field game.
If we started playing poker; before the game started we would agree on certain rules (dealers choice for instance) if you don’t like the dealers choice, you either fold, or cash in. no one is trying to twist your arm; you are a guest, and you’re welcome stay and play by the rules

THIS IS NOT AN IWNET VS DEDICATED SERVERS THREAD. FOR ALL INTENTS AND PURPOSES IN THIS THREAD, IWNET IS AN ABOMINATION AND SHOULD NEVER EXISTED. Anyone who thinks that IWNet is a catch all solution and better than dedicated servers is either to lazy to find a server and add it to his favorites or to stupid to host his own.
Anyways, I just updated the thread with redskulls, tally, and kerseys servers. If you have suggestions on the format please let me know and i'll fix it! thanks guys

As the subject says, I am part of the PC community uniting against those in the PC community that want to abolish the MW3 matchmaking system. I support the idea of having both the lobby system and dedicated server system and I am completely against those that believe that one system should be abolished over the other. I will not get into a debate over which is better because its all about personal preference and opinion. IW would be wise to try to accomadate both sides to the best of their ability.
Re: PC Community Unite![EW]TheO'ReilyFactor Oct 27, 2011 12:43 PM (in response to D0T-C0M)
I never said it should be abolished. If you want to play on IWNet have fun. The only reason why IWNet is an abomination is that it conflicts with the ability to play ranked on dedicated servers. I feel that people who like the system should be able to play on it but people who like to play it like a real PC game shouldnt have their preferences disregarded.

Excellent I completely agree
Re: PC Community Unite!Gooski! Oct 27, 2011 4:52 PM (in response to [EW]TheO'ReilyFactor)
I suggest we all go back to CoD4 and setting up more ranked servers, cuz now its hard to find a "ranked" server in S&D with 24/32 players.
Dont get me wrong, i love playing promods or some other good "unranked" servers, but i like to switch between them.
MW3 is for next generation PC gamers and will never come close to CoD4, but CoD4 can

SERVER RULES
1. No cheating, hacking or map glitching.
i.e., wall, aimbot, radar or no recoil hacks. THIS IS AN INSTANT BAN.
Likewise, if you suspect someone cheating,
get ahold of an admin as soon as possible via game chat, TeamSpeak or steam.
2. Respect all players at all times.
Do not harass other players; Play fair, Play with sportsmanship.
This rule applies to TeamSpeak as well; do not harass other players over voice chat.
3. No racial, sexual or otherwise derogatory statements toward other players.
Trash talking in jest is part of any game, and is allowed; however,
racial, sexual or otherwise derogatory statements are not; and may lead to a permanent ban.
4. No racist or otherwise offensive player names.
Keep it clean. If an admin asks you to change your name, please do so at once.
5. Do not camp behind the enemy flag; ever!
If you are not running the flag, escorting the flag runner, or looking for your flag,
you do not belong back there.
(Waiting for the flag is an invalid excuse; you should be escorting the flag runner)
6. If you are going to be AFK, please go into spec. mode or leave.
Things happen, but try to keep it to a minimum.
If you are AFK for long enough you will get kicked.
7. Keep an eye on the teams. If the teams are unbalanced, switch teams to even them out.
Also, no team stacking; This is to keep game play as fair as possible;
do not clan stack, unless invited to.
8. No spamming voice/text chat this is annoying, don't do it.
It distracts other players, even your teammates.
This also applies to giving your teammates position out over TeamSpeak;
under no circumstances are you to do this.
9. No recruiting, spamming ip's or advertising on our server(s).
there are plenty of outside message board forums out there to recruit on.
10. If you accidentally TK some one TYPE sry (the dead can't HEAR the living)
if you intentionally TK some one (for any reason) you will be kicked
11. No whining. This especially applies to cheating accusations.
Nine times out of ten a cheater can be obviously spotted.
If you suspect someone is cheating, get a hold of an admin via in game, TeamSpeak or steam.
Don't whine, period.
The server admins reserve the right to kick and/or ban any player without prior notice.
WE KICK PLAYERS TO MAKE ROOM FOR DoM MEMBERS. Check back later.
The DoM TeamNeed some advice: change in fy2 gp placement in short notice from trust

Okay so, two months ago I have received an email about my gp placement which starts in two weeks  time on 3/8 as foundation year 2- I am so glad I have been placed somewhere I like and close at from home. Because I don’t drive, I have previously sent an email to the trust to see if I can have a gp placement at close proximity to home which they agreed and emailed me that they would consider this to place me somewhere close. I have sent this email and got this reply before applying to this trust to work as a foundation trainee because I thought they will look into this.

Yesterday,  I received this email: Due to the availabilities of GP trainers and the placements of GP speciality trainees we are need to move your gp replacement to xxx. I am afraid there is no other option in terms of making foundation placements possible with the limited resources we have.

I start my gp placement in 2 weeks time! I now have to spend extra one hour+ to travel to and one hour+ back ( 2 hours+extra each day I will waste on travelling = 10 hours+ a week just on travelling).
Is this fair? Or is this just life? Can I do
