This issue has been resolved. Thanks.

When I try to log on it simply says "You were banned." The ban must have been issued sometime in the last 24 hours. Last night I was flying a helicopter (legit helicopter, I've never cheated in any way), and I got the "no message received" error. When I logged back on the helicopter has crashed and I was alive on the ground. I'm thinking the ban must have had something to do with that event, but I didn't do anything wrong. So, to recap, my player name is PCJake and I'm talking about US47. I have a few vehicles I'm repairing with a friend so I'd love to get back on rather than starting again on another server. Hopefully this post get's seen by the right people!

Right now we have a HUD element dedicated to telling us how many bullets we have in our current magazine. My suggestion is to get rid of that and add a "check magazine" action or hotkey, which would engage a custom animation that causes your character to remove the mag from his gun and hold it up so that you can visually inspect the magazine and see how full it is--like you would in real life. This would increase immersion and simplify the UI a bit. I just had this idea about two minutes ago so it may need some refining. This concept could be expanded by adding another animation for checking the firing selector on the gun. Also, for further immersion and simplification, the name of the gun you are holding and the number of magazines you have left could be completely removed from the UI; the player knows what gun he is using and he can just check his gear to determine the number of mags he has. These concepts wouldn't be appropriate for a lot of games, but for a simulator I think they make sense and would make the game more immersive.

I disagree--I think the point of DayZ is surviving in a post apocalyptic world where the survivors are out to get you. More enemy variety would be nice, but they could replace the zombies with rabid unicorns and it wouldn't matter to me; the PvP is what really makes me love DayZ. I understand that some players are more interested in the PvE side of the game though than I am, though, so maybe the game would be more fun for them with more enemy variety.
