Effective earlier this week, we officially discontinued flagging accounts as whitelisted, or as it was previously known, verified. 

The original intent was to prevent known professional players and other high-profile players that are fully vetted from being reported repeatedly. To clarify, though, it was never intended to make them “bulletproof” or “above the law”.  If evidence was submitted against someone who was verified/whitelisted, we would revoke it and issue a ban if it had merit. 

After much discussion, it was agreed that the flag served little actual purpose in our current reporting system and only caused confusion. 

As of now, all accounts that were not belonging to BF4DB staff have had the flag removed and will now show as “Clean”. The next patch that will roll out to the website will change the verbiage from “Whitelisted” to “Staff” and will be used to show accounts that are belonging to staff. 

We apologize for any misunderstanding or confusion on this topic in the past. If you have any questions, please let us know. 

no problem ,  personally I prefer this.

even I didn't have any problem with the whitelist list

lol

Let’s keep it on topic, please. 

I have no idea how lol turned into this, but it's amazing how low-effort it takes to get someone to cry about something.

for me no problem but to be correct you can also remove yours if you are clean I can not see why you have to protect yourself .. we are all players PS and my personal opinion

Yes you are correct we are all players and we are clean, still no argument for us not to mark our own soldiers as owned by staff?

Pretty sure someone did say removing the whitelisting entirely would be better for the site as a whole, but then again, half-measures are the better measures when it comes to laziness.

The amount of revolt about a minor change that doesn't even affect anyone is simply pathetic. I've had enough of this,
