Expectations of Adminship

The admins are the first line defense for the reputation of Premium Playlist. The admins are the ones that keep the server free of bad sports, and encourage the good sports to continue playing here each and every day. The admins are chosen and reviewed based on many aspects that we believe make or break a players experience when in the admins squad. Our admins are expected to be open minded, professional enough not to offend the players, have a good sense of humor, be an interesting individual with a unique personality and attitude that makes them irreplaceable to find as a friend in any other random server, must be reliable and trustworthy, responsible, and efficiently prioritize what's needed to be done when and how fast in order to keep the server as amazing as possible to the players. We strive for irreplaceable admins, and replaceable admins don't tend to last to long so when you join Premium Playlist you know that the admins squad is the place to be when you want the best experience possible during your time gaming!

"Headset Management"

Premium Playlist is dedicated to creating the most enjoyable environment possible for our regulars, this includes the social aspect. In order to maintain and close the distance towards some day being a 24/7 full Mic's Only server, whenever the server is full, the on duty admin is to kick 2 non mic players as quickly as possible to keep the waiting list moving along effectively. When the server is all but 1 player full, the on duty admin is to kick 1 no mic player as quickly as possible. The server should never be full unless it's all mics! Even for a second. To find the number of players connected to the server (Actual # of players untill full) in loading screen and in game, press [START] and go to [SERVER SETTINGS]. While in server settings, it will display the Actual # of players/Max # of players, this is the number we base our kicking on. When you kick players, press circle until back in game, then again press [START] and again go to [SERVER SETTINGS] to update the number and ensure there are still 2 open spaces or more before continuing to either kick more players or carry on playing the game. When we are all mics or when you see that we are steady with 2 openings after kicks, you may continue to play, but should never go more then 90 seconds without quickly checking that number again, the goal is to kick as soon as possible to fill with all mics as soon as possible. Many admins in the past have been a little miss prioritized with this and having fun, if you're here to play then play but do it as a regular not as a PRPL Team member. If you're actually here to make a difference, then make a difference and do what you promised to do by taking the role of an admin.

"Rule Enforcement"

We have rules that do two things, they end bad sportsmanship from existing in our server on a large scale that most servers have the problem with, and they make the game more enjoyable for the good sport players in the long run. So what are the rules? The basics are Intentional Friendly Team Sabotage, Glitch Exploitation, Excessive Headset Noise, and Repeat Player Harassment. Intentional friendly team sabotage covers everything from throwing ammo kits in a friendly snipers scope non stop to stop them from getting a shot, to blowing up or damaging friendly equipment and vehicles, all the way to team killing just to be an ass hole. These kinds of people are not to be tolerated! Glitch exploitation only covers players getting into walls and you better be damn sure the player is in fact in the wall and that you have the right guy or it WILL come back on you. The other kind of Glitch exploitation we enforce is on Air Superiority on Guilim Peaks, some players like to get out of there choppers and stinger enemies, anyone who is outside of there chopper and using there on foot capabilities to shoot down choppers in any way on either team are not to be tolerated either! Static headset noise is anyone with excessive background noise going through there mic, players talking on the phone where they're directly in the mic annoying others, or any other form of noises that anyone with common sense and any sense of respect would have muted there mics for is kickable and if a repeat offender often then bannable. Excessive harrassment is when players are saying hurtfull things to someone and just disrupting them to prevent them from enjoying there time in Premium Playlist, when this happens the player being harassed should try joining another squad, if the harassing player continues to follow them and wont leave them alone causing the player to feel they can't enjoy our server, then the admin is to either kick or if repeatedly an issue ban the harassing player from Premium Playlist.

"Ban Reporting"

When a player is breaking a rule, it is the admins call to kick or ban the individual who's breaking the rule. Make sure that you really feel the offender broke the rule on purpose though, and make sure you have the right guy before jumping to conclusions. Did you witness something or was it reported to you? Did you join the players squad or message them to find out if there rule violation was an accident? Was this the first time they broke the said rule? Look into these things and remember, you're a player just as much as an admin, how would you feel if you team killed someone and you got banned for it? What kinds of things would you say about that server and its admins? Make sure you're being fair and partial on rule breakers and just try to lean on the lenient side when you don't have proof or know for sure. In the event a player is breaking rules, you may press [START], go to [SERVER SETTINGS], and then press R2 to change the menu to [PLAYER MANAGEMENT] when you can hover over the individuals name and press square to open the options to kick or ban. In the event you ban somebody, you must message your shift manager the details. The Banned players PS ID exactly as spelled in game, and details about what happened need to be in that message in order for the Shift Manager to file a ban report on the Premium Playlist Website preventing the player from being unbanned and just doing the same thing over and over again. If you get a report form a player, it is to be brought to the attention of the on duty admin who is responsible for investigating and handling the issue as stated.

"Admin Abuse"

Admin abuse is not tolerated in Premium Playlist. Admins have a clear summary of what they can and cannot act on with the conditions for each. Admin abuse covers everything from neglecting your responsibilities and expectations as an admin all the way to breaking the rules yourself. Admin abuse has only one punishment, no matter how serious or minor the abusive action is, and that is a ban from Premium Playlist as well as removal from the PRPL team. Premium Playlist has a great reputation with the players that know us personally, and a poor reputation with players who require charge time for there mic's as well as a poor reputation with non mic players. The last thing we need is an admin breaking rules or letting the server go to shit when we trust them to be responsible for set hours and days of the server. "The police go to prison for murder if they're caught speeding in this town". Admin abuse is not tolerated!

***Admins are not authorized to tamper with playlist selection or map selections in any way without the ok from there supervisor during there shift, and only during the hours of there shift that selecting maps out of rotation is permitted. Under no circumstances is an admin allowed to tamper with which playlist is selected to run or edit maps and modes within a playlist for any reason.***

Expectations of Shift Management

"Ban Reports"

When an admin under you ban's a player from the server, they will message or somehow inform you of the players PS ID, as well as the details to what the player did wrong that lead to the ban. When you get these reports, you will need to put them in at the end of the shift on our forum category "Ban Reports". The report should be titled as the rule breakers PS ID exactly as displayed in game, then inside of the message should be the admin who banned the individual, and the story of what happened in as much details as possible for us to use as reason not to unban the player in the future should they appeal there ban. Please remember that ban reports may be appealed even for the guilty, so more information is also the longer we can have appealing players banned for before unbanning them and allowing them another opportunity to cause havoc within out server and on our reputation. This is crucial to get these reports in as all unreported bans will be unbanned without so much as an appeal, get your reports in at the end of your shifts every day a player is banned!

"Admin Management"
As the Shift Manager, you are responsible for making sure your admins are properly informed and trained and that your admins are carrying out there expectations on a satisfactory level. Should any issues come up where an admin under your responsibility isn't up to par, try talking to them and making sure they are even aware that there is a problem. Helping an admin become an even better and more respected admin by the rest of the PRPL team is a big part of the leadership that comes with your position. If you have any open Admin seats within your hours of responsibility, it is your role to find someone to fill the position. Once you've found an admin to take an opening under your hours of responsibility, simply have them apply for the PRPL platoon on the top left of the homepage with the quicklink button. Once your new to be admin has applied for the platoon on Battlelog, inform your Asst Director of the admins PS ID and hours/days to cover. If your admins are really giving it 110% and are a role model Admin, contact your Assistant Director about having your Admin promoted a tier! If an admin is becoming less and less reliable, talk to your Assistant Director about demoting a Tier off of your admin. Assuming you run into an issue that the best solution or only solution may be kicking an admin, do not tell anyone as it may cause admin abuse in spite. Inform your Assistant Director via a private PS message immediately, and let him know that the said individual isn't cutting it and needs to be kicked and the Assistant Director will handle it from there. You are to carry on in this case as if nothing is going to change and the Assistant Director will contact you when the request has been taken care of. This request may take up to 72 hours, so be patient and just keep your mouth shut to avoid admin abuse issues that you would ultimately be responsible for because of your shift responsibilities. Should an admin or even yourself need more then 7 days off for any reason, inform your Assistant Director of an "extended leave" with details including earliest start date and latest return date of whoever needs the leave. Try to get these requests in 2 weeks prior to the leave beginning or it may not be able to go on record when they begin there leave and they may be forced out of PRPL because of it. We are trying to be fair on the PRPL Team Members, but just keep in mind we have a lot going on up on top too and it isn't fair on us for all we do to drop all of the more important things to handle smaller scale problems every hour of our lives when we're trying to meet our own deadlines with not enough time. Notice ahead of time is greatly appreciated as it allows us to have a life too!

"Leaderboard Recommendations"

As the shifts supervisor, you are seen as the most experienced member of the shift to the PRPL Team. With this title comes the responsibilities and expectations to use your experience and knowledge of the players in many ways, one being recognizing the regulars. We need help managing Leaderboard updates biweekly, and you're the one that we can't update without. Between the 25th and 27th of each month, as well as again between the 10th and 12th of each month you will be expected to identify the top 3 most regularly playing in your shift players and recommend their PS ID's as spelled as well as there platoon tag to the PM Asst Director in the forums category "Leaderboard Recommendations". The asst director will delete your post when he has the needed info from you prior to the 1st and 15th of each month. Once you've recommended your top 3 regulars players, you will need to message those 3 players and let them know they've been recommended and will need to apply for the platoon that tracks the skill levels of the regulars for the top 4 "Most Feared" players of premium playlist. They do not need nor are they expected to represent the platoon, but they may if they wish too. Be sure to include in your message to them that to apply for the platoon, they will need to go to PremiumPlaylist.webs.com and on the top left of the homepage they will see a button labeled "apply for leaderboards" which will take them right to the leaderboard platoon Battlelog page, once there they will need to apply for the platoon and will be accepted by the PM Asst Director once the link has been made between the applicants and your recommendations. Don't forget to inform them of how important and urgent it is that they apply ASAP, if they haven't applied when the PM Asst Director is working the info then they will not be on the leaderboard for that 2-3 week period. Players can apply for the leaderboard platoon regardless of recommendation, but will only be accepted if recommended. If a player is not recommended but is in the leaderboard platoon from the previous update, they will be kicked from the platoon. This is a lot of tedious actions to ask of our supervisors and we are aware, but it is CRUCIAL to a lot of elements that make Premium Playlist so great, so do not neglect it or you will be risking your position and possibly your existence in PRPL.

"Playlist Management"

As a supervisor, you know your crowd better then anybody. The 5 minutes prior to the shift before yours ending, and the first 5 minutes of your shift should be time used to switch out the playlist being used in the server to make sure the best maps and modes possible are being played for your crowd. As a Tier 1 Shift Manager you are not given your own playlist, but are expected to chose a playlists that has been approved "(P)" by the Assistant Directors and made by other Tier 2 or Tier 3 Shift Managers. If you wish, there is also the original Premium Playlist that you can use and has been tested and proven to be seen as the "best playlist" overall for balance and a little bit of everything that the players flock into. Again, as a Tier 1 you are not allowed to edit any playlists, but are expected to chose 1 to play at the start of every shift you run, which one is up to you every day. Assuming you are a Tier 2 or Tier 3 Shift Manager however, you will have a playlist named after the hours you're responsible for. This playlist is to be formed by you and meet our playlist regulations, be sure to double check your list with regulations after forming it before you save it. You may not run your playlist until an Assistant Director has reviewed and approved it by adding a (P) to it with the date approved/passed. Should you find your playlist with a (F) next to it then it failed, inform the Asst Director that you will be changing it and wait for there ok, then find it as you did before with just your shift hours as its name. Once your playlist is approved, you cannot edit it without letting the Assistant Director know to change the name and take off its approval status and date, then getting the ok to go back through it and edit it. Once your playlist is done, you may play it during your hours, or you may choose to play another playlist that's been approved, the choice is entirely your each and every day, so make your crowd as happy as you can!

1))) Playlist can only be changed to another playlist once at the start of a supervisors shift and only at the start of the said supervisors shift. The change must be made and applied anywhere from 5 minutes before the shift begins, until 5 minutes after the shift has started. Once per shift, not twice if they made a mistake, once and fix your mistake when you set it again tomorrow!

2))) Selecting "next map to play" is only allowed by the on shift supervisor or admin with the supervisors permission who's responsible for that admin and that shift. Hand choosing the map/mode to play out of rotation is only allowed after the shift has been running for an hour, but no later then an hour before the next shift begins. No exceptions as it runs the risk of glitching the server to the point we cannot edit playlist changes until the server is emptied!

3))) Maps commonly known to freeze console are not allowed in a playlist (Currently Propaganda, Paracel Storm and Locker are the only known maps).

4))) The following game modes are not allowed in a playlist; Domination, Defuse, Gun Master, Squad Death Match, Team Death Match (Air Superiority is ONLY allowed on Guilim Peaks)

5))) The 1st, 6th, and 11th maps in each playlist must be either Metro or Locker. Each playlist must also be a total of 15 total maps/modes on the list. (same mode and map can be played multiple times, but the list must maintain at 15!)

6))) Each playlist must maintain a minimum of; 2/+ Capture The Flag modes, 2/+ Obliteration modes, 1/+ Rush modes, and 1/+ Conquest modes.

Expectations of AM Assistant Director

The AM Assistant Director is responsible for anything and everything that may happen under the Shift Managers of 00-04, 04-08, and 08-12. The AM Assistant Director is also responsible for getting needed information for updates and urgent needed changes to the Director.

"Biweekly Updates"

When a Shift Manager has a new Admin to join the rosters, the Asst Director will get the hours the player will cover, the new admins name, the time of the shift to pull in the new Admins time zone, and any other necessary details from the Shift Manager responsible and pass it up to the director to be added into the rosters with the next biweekly update by putting the information needed in the "Biweekly updates" forum post. This forum post will also be used to suggest tier promotions and demotions of PRPL members from tiers or even as large as a Shift Manager being demoted to an Admin under said Assistant Directors hours of operation. If an Admin or Shift Manager is being given an extended leave, they will need to hand this info up in biweekly updates as well and in advance of the update to allow the info to be attached to there roster info prior to beginning there leave.

"Urgent Updates"

Should the Assistant Director decide the Shift Manager isn't cutting it anymore, or Shift Manager decide an Admin isn't cutting it anymore, this information will be handed up to the Director for changes to be made by the Assistant Director responsible through the forum post "Urgent Updates" prior to informing the problem individual. This forum topic is only for PRPL roster changes in which a team member needs to be let go from our team all together. It is a Shift Managers job to report there wishes to the Assistant Director for there Admins to be kicked or tier dropped, just as the Shift Manager should be handing up there suggestions to promote any specific Admins up in tiers if applicable, but at the end of the day it's the Assistant Directors wishes that will be carried out.

"Role & Tier Regulations"

Each Assistant Director should have three Shift Managers, each with two Admins under there control at any given time. Of the three Shift Managers, only two may rank tier two or higher, and only one of those two may be promoted to tier three. Of the six total Admins within the Assistant Directors chain of responsibility, all six may be tier one, up to four may rank tier two or higher, and only two of those four Admins may rank tier three. The tier threes may not be under the same Shift Manager as each other, nor may the be under a tier three Shift Manager to ensure balance of reliability between all three shifts of the Assistant Directors responsibility. The Assistant Director is responsible for ensuring new Admins have read the "Expectations of Adminiship" in the Admin Guide and understand what will be expected of them as well as ensuring the future Admin has applied for the PRPL Platoon prior to handing there info up to the Director to be added into the rosters. The Director must also make sure Admins who are being promoted to Shift Managers have read the "Expectations of Shift Managers" in the admin guide and understand what will be expected of them before handing up information to promote the said Admin to a new Shift Manager. When your Shift Managers find a player to fill an open admin seat, they will give you the details to be added into the roster. Make a post for the Director to see the PS ID as it's spelled in game in the forum for "Urgent updates", as well as the hours the individual will be covering in CST and what times it would be to the new admin. Once you have informed the Director and double checked that the seat to be filled is already opened and not just replacing a current admin (because to be replaced admins can't be replaced, they must be kicked then be an open seat) you may go onto the Battlelog and accept the new admins request to join and begin there training. When the Director see's the post from you the new admin will be given admin rights and placed on the list. Make sure you are on your Shift Managers asses about sheer perfection and setting the party image for the regulars and players within our server, as well as making sure they are managing and recruiting there admins as possible. Don't lose your place in Premium Playlist over management issues you could have fixed by replacing managers or simply put your foot down on previously, you're job is to manage and without your job nobody makes money, don't let the whole team down, they may not always like you, but without you nobody gets paid!

"Playlist Approval"

While we try to give power of playlist to the Shift Managers who understand and know there crowd better then us, we do need to keep it safe guarded from certain maps that are known to cause harm to our servers reputation and anger our regulars that make us successful in the first place. The Assistant Director is responsible for approving there Tier 2 and 3 Shift Managers playlists for use before the Shift Managers may actually use them. To do this, simply open there playlist in the server management window of the Battlefield 4 Menu on your Playstation while the game is running but not actually "in game" (start BF4, go to Multiplayer, go to My servers, admin servers, manage, map rotations, and view the hours made that you're responsible for). When you are viewing the playlists, go through our Playlist Regulations found in the "Expectations of Shift Management" section of the Admin Guide, and make sure there isn't a single thing that doesn't meet regulations. 1 thing that fails regulations means the playlist cannot be used and needs to be fixed before reviewing it for approval again. Once a playlist passes regulation, you may place parenthesis next to the shift it states with a "P" (Or place an "F" if failed) and then the first 3 letters of the month and the day that it passed or failed [(P Sep 18)]. If the Shift Manager wishes to make changes to it, they must let you know so you can remove the approval status and date until they have finished editing there playlist, and then you will need to inspect it again before approving/denying it for use with the changes made. The Assistant Director is also responsible for ensuring the Shift Managers are changing out there playlists at the beginning of there shifts more often then not to make sure the same playlist doesn't play endlessly on our server, each shift should have a different set of maps so it's not the same maps and modes all day every day. Tier one Shift Managers are not allowed to edit anything in playlists, but at the start of there shift should still choose a playlist made by a Tier 2 or 3 Shift Manager to run for the duration of there shift. While Tier 2 and 3's may have there own playlists made, they may run any playlist they wish for there shift so long as it's changed between the last 5 minutes of the previous shift and the first 5 minutes of there own shift. Make sure that your Shift Managers all know not to run any Playlists that are not approved, you will be held responsible for everything that happens during your hours of responsibility so keep your team informed, efficient and involved.

Expectations of PM Assistant Director

The PM Assistant Director is responsible for anything and everything that may happen under the Shift Managers of 12-16, 16-20, and 20-00. The PM Assistant Director is also responsible for getting needed information for updates and urgent needed changes to the Director.

Read "Expectations of AM Assistant Director" located directly above, specifically ["Biweekly Updates"] ["Urgent Updates"] ["Role & Tier Regulations"] and ["Playlist Approval"] as each of these sections applies to the PM assistant director as well.

"Premium Playlist Leaderboards"

The PM Assistant Director is also responsible for coordinating with all Shift Managers to ensure that each Shift Manager gets there top three most regular players of there shifts submitted in the "Leaderboard Recommendations" forum post efficiently. As well as getting all of the Shift Managers to recommend the top three most regulars of their shifts for the Leaderboards, the PM Assistant Director is also responsible for making sure that the Shift Managers have also sent out messages to their recommended regulars explaining in detail how to compete for the "Premium Playlist Most Feared" (based on the four highest Battlelog skills in the [PPLR] Leaderboards Platoon), as well as explaining the importance and urgency of applying for the [PPLR] platoon, and where to find the quick link button on our homepage to apply quickly and conveniently. The PM Assistant Director is then expected to kick all players from the [PPLR] Platoon that were not recommended for the current cycle, and accept all applicants that were recommended and applied for the new cycle. Once all recommended players that applied have been accepted, the PM Assistant Director is responsible for getting the current Battlelog skill of each platoon member (that isn't a PRPL Team Member) and identifying the top four highest Battlelog skilled players of PPLR. These top four players also need to have there in game represented platoon tag (if applicable) added to the front of there PS ID name in the PM Assistant Directors log so there name and platoon tag match the exact same as it looks in game. The PM Assistant Director is then responsible for deleting posts from the "Leaderboard Reccomendations" by deleting all posts within from the now past cycle, and make one post for the Director listing the Platoon tag, Player PS ID, and players skill at time of checks in order of highest skilled player to least of the top four before the 1st and 15th of each month. On the 1st and 15th of each month, the Director will delete the PM Assistant Directors post when the info is finished being applied to the new Leaderboard and uploaded to the server.
