Great stuff guys! Lets spread the word about our server once we have all this organised.
I will start doing some research on these things and whether we can implement some auto-kickers for bad language etc.
Please remember that although we are admins of this server (we all have access rights now), lets be careful not to make conflicting changes or to abuse the power by kicking left - right - center.

Yea i suggest we get configs and setting and decide them here and then load them on the server.
A idle kick filter, A high ping filter, a good team balance. Perhaps a script to give grrr players pref options to join.
We could also make some admin count for all the grr members to use for kicking players who are hacking or causing issues.

Ok now in principle this is a good idea but we saw how bad this turned out with BMW. We are a bit more classy than those numbnuts but giving everyone in the clan free reign to to kick can cause issues.
The key is consistancy. If we give a definitely list of reasons to kick someone then it might help but we can't have reasons like "I think he is hacking" otherwise for example I kick a guy but j0nny wouldn't because he doesn't think he is hacking. So one day the player is kicked and other day he is not.
There is a fine line between order and dictatorship and that is more difficult to control the more people there are. I don't want to bog us down with technicalities but I would prefer to have scripts with clear rules and a few "admins" that can step in when/if needed
They can be anyone, best would be people who play the most

From Mile's post here:
http://dogamingforum.co.za/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=2153&p=35702#p35702 .. (I announced it there too)
Links to here:
http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf4/news/view/bf4-rent-a-server-docs/ where you can find server documentation. I have started perusing.
On topic, I agree with Paul and I will give some thinking on who our admins should be. Not everyone in the clan, but a few select guys. In any case, community members will have our details and can come post on our shoutbox if there is trouble too.

Lee, do we have an admin mailbox for grrr? It would be good to use something like this for registrations, as currently I get emails regarding tickets raised, billing, etc. from gameservers to one of my personal mailboxes. Would be good to have an account that all admins have access to, so that someone else can pick up on things if I am not available.
And perhaps a notification alert that gets sent to all admins when an email arrives for that account?

Yea i was more thinking a long the lines many hands make light work.
But yes its true it does need to be monitored and controlled.
Perhaps we can make a big button on our website that oks can drik if there is an issue on the server that notifies the admins able to deal with it.

OK, I'm setting up an Admin mailbox that automagically distributes to any mail address we want.
[email="admin@grrr.co.za"]admin@grrr.co.za[/email]
Since you'd probably prefer to use an email account that you check regularly, please add your email address to this list below for this very task.
ADMIN EMAIL ADDRESSES TO ADD to (
admin@grrr.co.za):
-------------------------------------------------------------
[email="leelo@ananzi.co.za"]leelo@ananzi.co.za[/email]
