just updated to the latest arma beta patch and now I got this problem on every server. Nickname: mib PID: 190146AX

Ok, funny enough, it looks like I got screwed over in this mess, too. I was there on DE5 when this all happened yesterday. I also received a battle-eye ban a couple of minutes around the same time when at least 2 other guys got the same. i remember pino was one of them. I literally dismissed this as a case of a server admin going on a mindless banningspree and joined another server. Then I discovered that my char got partially reverted or something along that lines, because i had no longer the same amount of zombie and playerkills. Also my humanity must have changed since now I look like a survivor again. Now i discover that I everytime I join a DE server the game is fucked up for me. My player lies on the floor, I cant move or do anything among occasionally spawning in a lighthouse or something. Has this to do with the ban(as in it's not a server but networkban?) or what is going on? I didnt cheat or do something illegitimate at all! @Kalle if you are still reading, if you could check your logs for my nick "mib" that would be kickass. I'd like to know whats going on and how to friggin resolve this.

Kalle, i think you are missing the point. Those restrictive rules exist for a few simple reasons. First of all, your server is not a standalone universe on its own where you can apply your own rules like on an average Arma, BF or Counter-Strike server. The server forwards gameplay-relevant information to the *global* backend. The way you manage your server affects pretty much global gamestate. The rules makes sure that there are no major balance breaking changes on a global scope. If kicking people to make room for (paying?) friends was allowed (or locking for that matter), well, the worst case (or best case for your wallet) would be that you have 50 friends playing on your server. You can easily communicate certain rules or maybe a codex. Now nothing stops the players from joining up at the loot spots for farming items or trading while chatting and not a single player will ever be killed. Thats one way to create a safespot to farm for items that can leave the server. No point in arguing why this makes the game suck for the other fair-playing players you encounter on the other servers. Those "idiots" are actually a good thing. As stupid as it may sound, they make sure no one has an easy life cheating the game-mechanics. This game is cruel. To everybody: Players, Admins and Devs. Take it easy. Life's too short :)
