About the "server" log screenshot floating around here: That screenshot is from the unofficial BE Rcon GUI tool for monitoring/administering a single server. The message just says that automatic BE GameHack kicks/detections - not bans - that happened during June 11 18:00 - 21:00 were false, and server admins do not have to worry about those. BE does not automatically administer LOCAL BANs, all it does is kick the hacker(correct me if i am wrong), and its up to server admins to ban these miscreants. That message was normal/legit and sent by BattlEye developer. Not the first time BE Rcon is used to inform server admins of new features or in this case - false detections. Well this was the case before the automatic GLOBAL BAN system was implemented recently(Or this is what i have understood, again correct me if i am wrong), i do not know for certain if the process has changed much. But the message had nothing to do with the recent GLOBAL BANs.

If using email is too difficult for you people and you HONESTLY think you have received a GLOBAL BAN by mistake, you can try to contact BattlEye (notice, its not "Battle Eye"! It is "BattlEye" or "BE") developer directly through Bohemia Interactive Forums http://forums.bistudio.com His username is $able http://forums.bistudio.com/member.php?17183-able - just send him a pm. But only if you have received a GLOBAL BAN across all servers. But i highly doubt this has happened by mistake since it detects cheat scripts and programs trying to modify the game while it is running. Or modified game files. BE does not ban you for running NORMAL programs in the background(Skype, TeamSpeak, Winamp, Hello Kitty Online, Notepad, FRAPS, etc etc) BE does not detect asshattery(server admins and other players detect this). BE does not care if you picked up(but detects if YOU spawned it) gear that does not belong in DayZ mod(server admins and other players care, probably also the DayZ mission/central database/DayZ staff and if this continues to happen several times, you are asking for trouble). If its a normal ban on one server, you need to contact the server admins of the server you played on, not $able or DayZ modding team. And congratulations if your short attention span allowed you to read this all, high five. Somebody correct me if I am wrong in how BE works. Oh and nice one tomfin, i see what you did there. :D
