I had a similar experience on this server and received the same email as the OP. I was banned from this server for 'associating' with hackers. About a week before the ban, I raided some tents which belonged to the admin's clan so I believe that this ban is retribution for this incident. Furthermore, this server uses a whitelist despite being a public hive server. I know that this is not explicitly forbidden in the server hosting rules but I believe that this is akin to having a locked server. As another poster pointed out in this thread, it seems that the admin is selectively choosing whom to add to the whitelist, thus using it like a lock or password and defeating the point of a public hive. I feel it is highly unethical that the admins leverage the server to drive traffic to their website by forcing players to whitelist, regardless of what their advertising arrangement is. Lastly, I am offended by the admin's use of homophobic slurs in his ban email. I don't think that this should be acceptable behavior for a public hive admin, as homophobic slurs are a bannable offence for players. When I started playing on US 4275, I donated money to help with the running costs since it was low ping and I played on it alot, but now I feel sickened and outraged at the behavior of the admins. I call on the Dayz moderation community to investigate this matter.
