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.

Good OP hope others follow your example to report servers to clean up abusive server.

It all depends on your intention for running the server, I currently still run a public DayZ Mod server, and will be starting up and Public SA DayZ server soon, I don't play the game much, I'm here to help the game progress and help the community. If your planning on running a server for your clan and or a group of friends, you would be better off waiting for SA DayZ private servers due to the rules put in place with the SA Public servers. http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/158966-dayz-standalone-server-hosting-rules-server-reporting/ But if like myself and you want to host a server to help out in the community and progress the game then jump on board and rent a server. But the servers are buggy as the game is still in early Alpha. So its your choice. :) Regards. SaintMerc

Following a reply from gaming deluxe, you need to contact them regarding whitelisting. Seem dedicated servers are allowed providing no RDP access to them.

They added the rule that you can kick for verbally abusive or abusing ingame bugs to gain an ingame advantage because of a loophole. Plus racism which was not added. So how are they still allowed to kick. When it will be breaking the rules and will be delt with, as the server provider now have a clear set of rules. I don't see your point. !

I under stand what is involved in running a DayZ server as many been doing it for a long time. and sorry to say I'm more than willing to roll out what ever updates, when ever they roll out, and help out in anyway I can to progress the game a bug fix. I know what is involved, I losted my 10 year+ gaming community because I needed to commit most of my time to running the DayZ mod version. The SA version would be no different to me. But I also understand what your trying to explain in your post, A new start in a sense is what I needed anyway. :) But as said I'm not talking about a private server, I would like to be connected to the public hive like I am with the Mod version. I'm not to keen on the private server myself, and I'm sure there are more public Mod server admins that would like to host a SA public server on our dedicated box's and not be forced to run a private server, I no nothing about code or shit like that. We as we have been are here to help but seems we have been side lined.

The biggest problem is, Is that those that do host the SA servers that rent them from the server providers are not bound by the same rules, That we adhered to with the Mod version. So it is open to abuse. Those that support Rocket and his dream and the dev's would follow the rules with out question as they know what he wants from the game, and what DayZ is about and where it will go. The game is in alpha, I myself admin many servers in alpha now, Rust and 7 days to die and they have the same abuse some less than others, But the bottem line is the game its self which is still in Alpha and progressing need the backing from the server provders. Getting a good community is what the aim should be and progressing the game, Abusive server will do nothing but be the downfall of the game. The rules are there for a reason and responsible server owners will do there best to help DayZ progress.

You are not connected to the hive and as your other post you run on a dedicated box. As you run on a dedicated box, and as I have said in another post Dedicated servers are not currently supported, and there is no post on this forum from the Dev's or Rocket himself saying they are. You will just have to wait like the rest of us. Maybe a forum mod will reply to this and give more information. http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/169197-server-ip-has-to-be-whitelisted/?p=1729915 Edit: I have contacted Gaming Deluxe regarding this and waiting reply.

Guys as I have said above, Dedicated servers are not currently supported, and there is no post on this forum from the Dev's or Rocket himself saying they are. You will just have to wait like the rest of us. Edit: Ok dedicated servers are allowed with no RDP access as I have been informed today. You just need to be patient and wait to be whitelisted. :)

These filters seem to work great, Thanks for the work done on them. At least the servers can now be protected again. :) Regards, SaintMerc

As you Know, There are a lot of current Public Mod Server hosts that have been following the same rules for over 18 months and would be glad to host Public DayZ SA servers for Rocket as we have been doing with the mod, with out breaking the rules. But they decided they wanted to go with Game Companies instead of those who they should by now trust who have dedicated boxes, That continue to support them. As I have said before most of these problems wouldn't be there if this had happened. But they didn't want these hosts to have access to the files, As to stop the modding of the game and I understand that fact, and respect them for it. So now they have no control over those that rent the servers for SA DayZ because some haven't been here that long and do not respect what Rocket and all want, Where they have been or where they want to go with DayZ. I do hope they revise this and Allow us, That have supported them through think and thin to bring up some good admined servers to get DayZ where is use to be with out all the abusive admins that is currently happening. I'm not talking about Private SA servers, I'm talking about Public SA servers being run on our dedicated boxes, and I would as many others would gladly comply to any Rules set down to us. For the privilege of running said servers. :)
