So, I was recently on Seattle 22, and the Admin (not sure who it is), kicked me and then banned me for swearing. This is admin abuse, because according to the rules you cannot kick for language. You CAN kick for malicious language and racial language, but not for swearing by itself. "BEWARE - The same restrictions apply to Non-Dev run servers! - IT MAY NEVER BE PASSWORDED - NO OTHER KEYS OR MODS. NONE. PERIOD. - NO KICKING TO MAKE ROOM FOR 'FRIENDS' OR CLANMATES - IT'S YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO UPDATE YOUR SERVER TO THE LATEST VERSION OF DAYZ - Their are only two reasons why you, as a server owner, should ban a player on your server. Those two reasons are: Malicious talk, and racism. You may not ban a user for stealing your loot, killing you, spying on you, etc. - You may only kick for disruptive behavior (such as continued VOIP over side channel). But you may not kick due to race or language or because the person does something you do not like. - Kicking for extremely excessive ping or desync is permitted, but if abused is grounds for blacklisting Failure to adhere to these rules will BAN YOUR SERVER'S IP from DayZ. If you have any questions, then please post in this thread, or email me; dayzmatt@gmail.com" But you may not kick due to race or language or because the person does something you do not like. Please either ban this admin, or ban the server. Thanks.
