Can a admin please explain why posting an IP address on a public forum is about the most ignorant thing a player can do? I give up. I seriously do, it's like trying to explain breathing to a rock.

First: I've never hacked or scripted. Never sure where you got that little bit of information from but whatever. Second : Calm down, the both of you. I report things for different reasons then you think. Not because I have an issue with either of you but that posting an I.P is wrong, period. Now I don't know what crawled up the ass of both of you, but it's not me. I'm terribly sorry you got a script run on your server which was malicious to the players there. Honestly it's not the first time nor will it be the last time something like this happens. All you can do is post using the guidelines they provide for us and nothing more. Helping the forum mods is part of the reason I help them, the second is (and Gogster should know this) it's near impossible to moderate a forum this large and key in on EVERYTHING that is put up there. You're basically saying it's the job of the admin to search every forum post that comes up on these forums and for them to check every line and paragraph. Some of them like to have a social life outside of cleaning up bullshit like people posting I.P addies on the internet to the general public.

I'm actually going to just start ignoring your posts as you're just trolling now.

Not a lot? Wow, it never ceases to amaze me how people post things they are completely clueless about. I'll leave you in your ignorance but needless to say one of the FEW things a person could do with your I.P. is make it so you never connect to DayZ again until you get the issue fixxed. But that's a petty thing and minor. Next you'll be saying giving out a social security number is pretty harmless because nobody could do ANYTHING with that information. But what would I know, i'm just an 'ungrateful cunt' who got under someones skin and now they have a digitial stick up their ass for them.

It's neither you ignorant child, it's the fact you're giving out someones I.P address on a public forum without knowing exactly what can be done with an I.P address. I don't defend hackers (script kiddies, calling them hackers is giving them too much credit), I defend a persons privacy and by giving out an I.P you have breached that privacy. Why don't you give me YOUR I.P. address and I will show you why you don't give out I.P's on a public forum? I'm not a forum admin, I don't want to be nor do I care to try to become one. I am showing them where ignorant individuals like yourself do things that are completely stupid and don't think before you act which forces them to come clean up this garbage.

Since the forum admins are cleaning it up? Do you know how much damage can be done with someones I.P address? It's generally bad manners and a security issue if you're going around posting I.P on a public forum. I could easily get into someones computer, bypass their firewall and get a lot of wonderful information if you only give me the persons I.P. Furthermore, you don't NEED a persons I.P to ban them off your server or even to global ban them. Bans / Global bans are not for an I.P address (although yes you can ban for them but you're stupid if you do since you can get a new I.P. easily) they are for the GUID of the person it is attached to.

He doesn't need evidence. Forum guidelines specifically state in order for you to post a report on these forums you must list the name of the hacker, server, time it happened and what took place. Video evidence and screenshots are not required but are nice to get. Thread 2 (sticky) as soon as you enter the cheat section of the forums. http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/5297-cheat-report-guidelines/

And you apparently can't read the guidelines for posting on these forums. Read them and try posting information again there detective.

That much is obvious considering you posted this guys I.P address on the internet when the forum rules specifically state you do not post an I.P on the forums. Reported for deletion.

You also posted this guys IP address for some fucking stupid reason. Reported. Note to the stupid : YOU DO NOT NEED THE IP TO BAN A PERSON JUST THE GUID. READ THE FUCKING FORUM RULES BEFORE YOU DO STUPID SHIT LIKE THIS.

"e >> _type >> _classname >> "displayName"); null = _holder addAction [format[(localize "STR_DAYZ_CODE_1"),_name], "\z\addons\day" Just saw this come up in cheat-finder but I don't wanna ban because i'm not sure what it is. Anyone care to take a crack at it?

Video logs,screenshots, and server logs are not required. All that is required is a post here with the name of the server, names of the people in question and the time it happened.

I'm going to just step back and try to explain this mainly in the hopes that you're not an admin and you've never, ever used Cheat Finder. Yes, i'm very aware of what Cheatfinder is, had you read I stated and I quote : I don't want to ban for this until I am aware of what this string is trying to do. I didn't mention anything about AA12 in the first post, at all. It wasn't until the second post that I said anything in regards to cheat-finder listing it as an AA12. Hence the confusion, an unknown line and an unidentifiable string that I wasn't completely sure of it's actions. Again, since you're tanking your post count i'm going to simply guess that you went to the last post in the thread and saw a random word and threw your (2 cents) into it. I am very aware that cheatfinder is finding things in the scripts list and pointing them out, unfortunately the GUID did not have the letter number combination of AA12 in the players GUID, thus, the question. Cheat finder is a parse program, nothing more and nothing less. Was it something simple as "The letters AA12 are in their GUID!" I wouldn't waste my time with this. Have I cleared this up for you any? Try to stay on topic, if you want to vent, do it in PM.

Only that it wasn't in their GUID, it's not refering to it in their GUID, it's refering to something that it found. I searched for AA12, it didn't refer to anything in regards to these players. Since you're posting random things in various threads just to tank your post count i'm going to ignore the post and say you're trolling. Anyone else have a clue about this or know what the code is actually trying to do?

Yeah me either, haha, hence why I came here. This came up three different times in the log and I couldn't identify what it was doing. The other two bits of it are: e >> _type >> _classname >> "displayName"); null = _holder addAction [format[(localize "STR_DAYZ_CODE_1"),_name], "\z\addons\day" and "e >> _type >> _classname >> "displayName"); null = _holder addAction [format[(localize "STR_DAYZ_CODE_1"),_name], "\z\addons\day" Cheat finder is listing this as an AA12, if that helps anyone looking at it.

Having an AS50 TWS doesn't mean you hacked it in. He could have found the weapon on a corpse and picked it up, this does not mean he is a cheater only that he is carrying hacked in weapons. See Rockets post on this, carrying hacked in weapons is not illegal, only scripting them in is.

Scripters get caught if the admin doesn't have a thumb up his / her collective asses.

I currently am kitted out with the following : (All the tools, for simplicity sake) G36C SD CAMO (9 mags, but it uses STANAG SD, so no worries) AS50 TWS PDW SD (5 Mags, but uses 9mm SD mags) Soldier skin in the tent, currently in Ghillie but i'm also Hero skin. I used to hate hacked weapons and I used to be a supporter that this shit should be banned off a server but then I said, why? Hackers will bring this stuff in constantly and it will never be taken out of Arma 2 because it's a weapon in the main database. What people fail to realize is that THIS IS A MOD OF ARMA 2. WHICH MEANS THE WEAPON DATABASE IS AVAILABLE IN THIS GAME REGARDLESS OF IT BEING DAYZ. Arma is a heavily modable(sp) game and thus allows this stuff to be brought in. No I want you to note, I do not advocate hacking or scripting rather in this game nor do I support these weapons being given out, but I will use it. Just like I use everything else I come across I am gonna use these rifles until I die. Then when I die (not if, when) I will go back to the coast and grab some randoms shit and start all over, it's the way of the game. I don't care if the weapon comes into the game, they don't make you a god because unless the person is hacking then they can be killed. What bothers me are the people who say 'Oh you use a hacked in weapon, you're just as bad as a hacker!' because you don't know what the fuck you're talking about. I'm not as bad as a hacker because the hacker scripted these items into the game, I just blew the back of his head off and looted the item just like I would anyone else I saw with a bandit skin. The big difference between me and a hacker for having these weapons is I didn't cheat to get them. Now if you want to play the pot meet kettle game let's talk about how most of the people in this thread have had their ammo reload on them while logging in and out. Accidental duplication of gear, backpacks when switching skins and all the other easy to recreate bugs that are in this game, are bugs and exploits. We all do them, we're almost all guilty of it, so thus does this make us all cheaters? Taking stuff out of tents now that 2.5 doesn't save tents vehicles? Getting off bikes to completely repair them and getting back in? Yeah, we all cheat in one form or another.

Gonna remove this, not getting sucked in.

Read the first thread on this forum about posting guidelines. Wasting time with this.

Read your forum thread title, Don't play on AU50. Why would you say this? You are telling people don't play on this server because a hacker showed up. Hackers happen, post the information, shut the fuck up about your opinions and move along. Don't like it, bugger off.

Thread reported. Why are you posting I.P.'s of players on this forum? Did you read the first thread about what you can and can not post on these forums? You do know they specifically say - DON'T POST I.P. ADDRESSES ON THIS FORUM - right?

Almost all of the things he said can not be done by an admin but yet they're blaming it on an admin. They stopped zombie spawns? Really? Lol. He was killed in the middle of nowhere? He was teleported? It was a hacker in their Rcon probably, not an admin.

Lol this is such absolute bullshit.
