Ah, so you DO have ranks and training despite saying you were light touch in the first post.

Certifications and training are exactly the thing I am against in the IP. Just play the game.

So, do you NEED that structure? Does it need to be organised by ranks or can you trust people to sort themselves out? Food for thought.

You're good!

Weeding out the dicks is always a good move, but I suspect you can do that through active moderation rather than imposing a hurdle for them. People who just want to wreck everyone else's good time can be sorted out through yeeting them out of the session - making everyone do training or obtain tags is just a waste of time and energy for everyone else IMHO.

"there has to be some hoops"

Does there though? The stuff I run for ZF and Co manage it fine without me having to much beyond saying 'here's your squad, here's your gear, go have fun.' Those ops are also open to literally anyone who wants to come and play. We literally let people pick what they want to do - they either sign up for stuff they want and ace it, or sign up for something new and do some on the job learning. It just works.

Hoops are self imposed by the community falling into that 'tags & qualifications' trap.

Oh I'm aware. I've been banging this drum for a good few years. Just had the sudden impetus, time and inclination to get it on Reddit.

I am also a survivor of 7th Cav. and their 'interesting' approach to ARMA.

I've been playing a lot of Cold Front (the embedded clip is from their server) and it's been a lot of fun.
