There should be a system that moves a player from a Bronze district to a Silver district after they achieve Gold status. Although all in all it sounds a little dumb because Golds aren't supposed to be on the Silver district either but that's just APB these days. The District to Threat system is pretty broken in itself and there could be easy ways fixing it although I suppose none of these fixes will be needed anymore once they roll out cross district matchmaking.

To be fair, there is no rule against golds in bronze.
There is however, a rule against intentional dethreating.
I just wish it was in any way enforced.

Little Orbit has already mentioned how matchmaking and other such core features are being worked on.
Please go read the Q & A

The short answer is a simple "no", they have no intention of keeping to their word and taking action against this.

Gold is ridiculously easy to obtain unless you're running a terrible pc set up.

i think the best solution would be to just remove threat districts altogether.

they should remove threat system in general tbh...
Some will always dethreat to go rek bronzies

You can remove them yourself in 5 easy steps. 

1. Join their faction and ready up.
2. Get grouped with gold player.
3. Commence antics to get gold to TK you. (Lightly spraying gold with bullets, jumping in front of gold vehicles, doing objectives when there is no OP.)
4. Repeat step #3 until gold is disconnected for TKing.
5. Gold cannot re-enter Bronze District.

You're welcome.

This is the best solution until we get cross district matchmaking and a significant population increase. Threat is too easy to manipulate. The fair way to match players would be to go by player count, and limit it to a max of 4v4. Edited August 20, 2018 by MrsHappyPenguin

T dist. for new players (1st 25 ranks,only new accounts join auto)and bronze,silver,gold but well defined not like now to be able to jump between threats fast.Tier for each threat like 1,2,3 if necessary.Every threat locked to theyr threat district not like now("show recommended tab" checked or hidden)Also districts where all 3 threats can join and threat/rank is visible.Rules there will be only teams to be equal.Doesnt matter if 3 golds tiers lets say 1,2 and 3 are vs bronzes tiers 1,1 and 1.How avoid players detreat?If start suicide a lot kick from mission and this players gets nothin from that mission like he never playd it.Same for teamkill or if he stays lets say more than 100m out of the mission objective radius more than 1min.
I dont think this cross dist. matching gonna work cause gonna be annoyn and gonna make tremendous lag with this people loadin dist. nonstop

Untill the threat system is fixed where it better reflects your skill and there is an auto kick for golds this wont end. If you want this sooner request it from LO otherwise they are focusing on the engine upgrade before any core changes.

[Keshi 436]

what if bronzies can votekick a gold out of their mission regardless if they are on the same team or opposite team

[illgot 379]

gold players in the bronze district are not real gold players.

Actual gold players never lose their gold threat rating.

Silver players are the ones going into the bronze district and becoming gold threat solely by fighting players below their threat (bronze players).

On the US servers are are lucky at prime time to have one silver Waterfront and one silver Financial district near full.  Most of the times we only have one full silver district.

So a lot of the silvers end up funneling into the bronze district where they play against people below their skill level and end up gaining gold threat.  Then they come online the next time and can only play against gold/silver threat players, then drop back to silver.

If we had the population to support segregation this would not be an issue.

I wish threat were completely hidden from people and you only had the option to join Waterfront or Financial and the system placed you in a district according to the unlisted threat.

Segregation caused these issues though.

And why do the silver go to the bronze district? ...
Because the golds are invading the silver district, WHICH IS THE DISTRICT FOR THE SILVER.

The threat system is broken as hell. Thats above all. Next you have the fact that the pop in APB isnt very high, theres not enough ppl to make full gold districts, not enough to make full silver and not enough to make full bronze if everyone stayed where they were supposed to. Ppl want to play so they go to fuller districts to get games faster. Hence why u see full bronze and silver dist all the time. Unless LO combines Jericho, Citadel and Hahn into one global server ull never see the pop to support all these diff threat servers.
Dethreating came about due to threat segregation back in 2013-2014 and gold servers had very low pop so ppl dethreated to get into silver dist. The segregation backfired so horribly G1 had to remove it but even with that dethreating continued. Its still an issue now but since then G1 broke the threat system which makes ur threat not a true reflection of ur skill capabilities. In order to fix the dethreating issue LO needs to fix the threat system to better reflect ur skill and to make dethreating reportable in game and make it so that way if u go gold in a bronze dist u will be auto kicked and have to join silver. Unless this is done the issue will never be fixed.

I've been making jokes whenever I'm in bronze that there should be either instant or hourly kickings of gold players in bronze, but actually we could just nerf the patootie out of the threat and money they get, it wouldn't stop everyone of course, but the most annoying ones tend to be the DTers who come to bronze and tryhard all day to level up quicker 

[Deftonez 125]

i'm sorry but how are people still bronze and silver

At a certain point all these career silver/borderline gold players should gain the skill and knowledge of the game to "promote" themselves to the silver servers; maybe the solution is a "Gold Bootcamp" of sorts
