The only problem I have with the OP is the fact you claim you ran DayZ Mod UK25 server, Which you did not. UK25 was run by a single admin for most of its time it was online for 18+ months. and continued to run UK25 after the UX Community folded, Which then you formed Urban Rejects while UK25 was still online hosted by Faz who didn't join your new community. As Faz the admin was the main guy that ran UK25, The OP is totally false regarding this comment. Pls do not try to take credit for something you did not do, run or host. Regards. SaintMerc

I've been with a few server company's, I will not name them but some are in the list of the OP post, Some have given a poor service and where complained about many times. I will simply say I have stuck with Gaming Deluxe and over the last 2 years, I've not had any problems with them, even when the DDosing was effecting the Dayz mod servers in 2012 they where on top of the problem. ASAP. This is both with server rental and dedicated boxes, great pings and great customer service. Just my 2 Cents. Regards. :)

"You were banned" problem was talked about over a year or so ago. In your batteye folder you have 2 ban files. Bans and Ban. Ban txt If you have numbers in your ban txt file these are player ID's. these players will have the "You were banned" message when trying to join a server. due to being added to this ban txt file. removing the player ID's will remove the ban. many things can get you on this ban list including corrupt data.

I agree that the server rules should also be included on the order forms for servers, so you know what you have to commit to. You might rent the server but you are not renting the Public Hive which the server needs for the server to run. Which is controlled by Rockets team. Private server will be available at some point and then you will be able to password it. But not until then. If you have a dedicated box at one of the approved SA server hosters you can run a SA server, cheaper than you have to pay for one. ;) As for server files, they will most likely not be accessible till private servers are allowed. but most likely still not accessible for public hive servers.

I'm not in the position to tell you that they will be allowing Private dedicated servers. Maybe someone else can answer that. But they are currently allowing Public dedicated servers providing your server is hosted at one of the companies allowed to host them. with no RPD access and you follow the rules.

Simply because it is a lot easier to use this tool than other ways of reporting. Seem like you need it spelt out in black and white the OP is trying to help with reporting abusive servers. The rest you have to do yourself. :)

Your comment suggests, you can infact restarting your server to get rid of players, When there is no need to restart as some posts have stated they only have to reboot every 6 hours or so. ?? This is not productive and not helping the current situation. :)

No worries. By request your post has been moved to the Mod server section.

Hi this server listing is for Standalone servers. :) You should of posted this here. http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/forum/16-mod-servers-private-hives/ Regards.

Simply wait for the private server to come out, then admins have more freedom. But while being connected to the public Hive, that the owners of the game provided, you have to follow the rules or lose that connection. One important fact in that statement, No Hive, No server its as simple as that.! Edit: Rocket will not lose as he didn't with the mod version and we all had to follow the same rules.

If you have a dedicated box at one of the approved server hosters, Not sure if they all offer this service though. Then yes you can run a SA server on your dedicated box providing its for the community to play on. But RDP access is disabled for those wishing to host them as I have been informed. Plus if you are part of a Clan or a group of friends, it is pointless hosting a SA public server as these servers are there for the community so everyone can play on them and currently not for Clans/Friendly groups so on, as you have to abide by the rules. http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/158966-dayz-standalone-server-hosting-rules-server-reporting/ If this is the case you are better of waiting for the SA private servers, which will be some time in the future.

I would say it seems like a hacker, do you not have anything else in the server logs ? use http://pastebin.com/ to post your logs.

There are 2 types of post going on here regarding kicking players, 1, Can a admin kick a player to allow him to join the server they pay for, to monitor it and so on. 2, Can a player be kicked to allow clan mate/friends to join. The second one I would say NO it is against the rules as for the first, I know on the Mod version you wasn't allowed to do this, But the payed SA version I don't know, and maybe needs looking at.
