I agree 100% ... i listen over 300 opinions and they are frustrated about
that an whole server can be ruined by 1 smacktard which is doing TK's or
destroy own vehicles not to mentioning spawn campers...until now only
servers which have a possibility to call for admin (i.e. blueyonders.co.uk
servers) are acceptable. This must be fixed.

I know many opinions from both comunities (BF and CS) ... and i don't think
that an stats system like those from CS are pretty accurate for BF. Based on
different requirements of victory of those 2 games more important for BF is
teamplay rather than K:D ratio. (i.e. if an guy cand do 30 kills and no
deaths he will win a round for his team in CS..but in BF he will not win at
all the round without support from his team).
So in my opinion (based on over 300 opinions) is more important to determine
the teamplay (i know is tuff, but not impossible) in stats rather than K:D
or other "normal" stats (like bfstats.com).
