Round of applause for a standard response from Sgt.Its_them! I wouldn't call it a sanctuary but yes the whitelist does help prevent hackers. Although you are either completely mistaken or in denial about your sever not being home to once globally banned players. I've told you before and I'll tell you again, my cousin received a global ban as his CD key was stolen, he had never hacked, duped etc. He reported it to both Bohemia and Battleye but they were to no avail. He was forced to buy a new key and he still managed to play on your server once his new key was activated. Here's for your kick in the teeth... You must be aware that despite banning someone via their IP address that they can change their IP? All it can take is a reset of a modem an voila, a new IP is provided! So despite being globally banned and the receiving an admin ban, after a new key and IP address, they are back on your server. You boldly state I couldn't accept the ban against Noxious then why was I still playing after he was initially banned and why was I playing after you made your final decision? What I did was mention a few points that I thought hadn't been covered in his ban appeal. This happens in the Waste Lands section of the forum but nobody checks them so that's why I stuck it in the DayZ threads. But full respect went to the whole, "if it's done for one player, then it will have to be done for the next". Also I wasn't told to stfu or piss off, as you put it, for making untrue allegations. It was because I had reported a post you had placed on a locked thread that I thought was uncalled for (as mentioned in my earlier post). The final decision on Nox's ban was ok with me as l could join him on any other server whenever anyway. It made no odds at all. My issue was with some of the admin and the way some issues had been dealt with by them. As for the reddit post, where did Nox say it was "his" server?? He uses the terms, "a few of us use a server", "our servers" and "our own DayZ community". The use of "our" referring to the community which you have supposedly created for your members. The whole thing was blown out of proportion due to Tationica misinterpreting what the initial thread was about. Anyone reading the community map suggestion thread on the forum was aware of what Noxious was trying to achieve with his post. Simply trying to help and offer some form of support to Silver as he single handedly runs the scripting operation. Also you're right people do speak highly of the server, which consists of the map and its features. This is not the issue here. The issue is with some of the people who are admining it and how they treat loyal players with total disrespect. Again I must emphasise that this is only some and not all. Fair play to Spiker in wanting to attract people to the server to make things even more "EPIC" than he already suggests it is, but he must understand that he may not of yet encountered any of the issues above so therefore cannot really pass judgement on them (although he already has). But are his attempts in vain? As from what I hear through the ether is that the DayZ server may not run for much longer due to drop in active players. This may be just a case of Chinese whispers but it is in fact that there has been a drop in players and you at BSM are aware or there won't be talks of dropping the whitelist for PvP weekends would there?
