So let me give you some background before I get into the meat of this story. On the server I play on we have been plagued by alt + f4 people and server hoppers (usually the same people) who raid our barracks, see loot, take loot, jump to another server and rinse repeat until they have all the gear they want. Recently an SVD camo dropped and we needed another but the guy who found it didn't have the room. I was in South Barracks and he was North so I made my way there while he stepped out to check the outside of the barracks. In the time it took him to do one sweep of the (sniper hills) a person had jumped in, got the rifle and jumped out. We, as a clan, got sick of it so we started thinking of ways to combat the issue and stick it to these assholes. The first idea was for us to simply sit outside watching the windows and headshot people as they come in. This become a very large security risk as it took three people minimum to do this. One watching the window and two doing overwatch or two and one, depending on the people online. This was because at south barracks people tend to spawn OUTSIDE and then run into the barracks, loot, and run back out to hop to another server. We scrapped this idea because it was just too risky after a near miss from a hopper almost dropping one of our overwatch. I am now sharing our current plan and it works extremely well. Our clan had a surplus of satchel charges sitting around that we never used due to us never finding a good use for them other then blowing up vehicles we wanted to respawn and blowing up camps, so we took one of them to the North barracks at night and set up. In order to completely destroy the barracks 100% of the time the satchel charge MUST be placed at the third door in, count them like this. 0. Shower room. 1. Loot room. 2. Loot room. 3. Loot room. (Satchel charge here) 4. Loot room. The charge is placed in front of the door in the hallway of loot room 3. Move out and a good distance away from the building and detonate. (for added fun, wait till a server hopper hits the barracks THEN detonate, 2 birds one stone). Once this is complete you will be left with a completely ruined building and rubble all over the ground but the LOOT WILL CONTINUE TO SPAWN, EVEN WHEN MOVED (loot piled) ELSEWHERE. Well done, you have now created a death trap on anyone who comes into the barracks, let me explain. When you detonate a building the server registers the explosion every time you log in and log out, doing so close by you can actually hear the explosion as you load in. When a played logs into the barracks they log in on a rubble pile and or an area now completely gone and the game reacts the same was as if you were crawling on a rock. The game bugs out and the player in question is knocked out, bleeding, broken legs and sometimes shock. You can get any of these issues and or all of them upon logging into the server as well as absolutely no cover from the barracks making you an easy target. Players who log in are now easy pickings for you and you get all the delicious loot they have gathered from ALL the other servers they have hopped from. :) WARNING : WANDERING NEAR THE BARRACKS TO COLLECT YOUR LOOT CAN SOMETIMES GIVE YOU THE ABOVE EFFECTS DUE TO THE DESTROYED BUILDING BUG. COLLECT LOOT AT YOUR OWN RISK AND CARRY MORPHINE + BANDAGES AT ALL TIMES WHEN CHECKING THE LOOT. Beans if you found this useful. Enjoy cleansing your server of the plague that is server hopping :D

I'll try to get fraps up and running tonight to get some footage of this and what it looks like after. We killed 7 hoppers last night with this, 3 confirmed, 4 alt F4, 3 of those corpses didn't go away but one did. We made out like... well... bandits last night with the amount of rangefinders / NVG's / and high end rifles and SD weapons. Nearly doubled our weapon stores.

What, that I get FPS loss in the game if i''m online for a long period of time? I don't run on a top end computer like a lot of people do, I run on about a medium tier computer that runs most games fairly decent. Arma 2 on the other hand doesn't use video card only, it uses a lot of processor instead. Every now and then my FPS tanks out badly to the point where I get a lot of stutter and a lot of performance drop and normally this is fixxed if I log out, wait a few minutes and then log back in. Sometimes I have to completely restart the game. If you're saying the best part of the story is where I aborted out (to fix my FPS problems) then I am glad you found some part of the story to be amused by. The big difference between me aborting to fix performance and that guy aborting to solve his "Oh shit i'm getting shot at." performance is ones not combat logging.

What do you think is in a satchel charge? Bottle rockets?

You don't go to the NW airfield, sit on top of a tower in a ghilli suit and shoot at players not trying to be a bandit. I will give benefit though, I suppose I could have this is in regards to ALL players who abort and Alt F4 to save their own ass. Truth be told, I think it should be a ban offense to abort zombies off you, abort from combat, alt F4 from combat and so forth but then this game would be pretty dead with the amount of players thrown headfirst kicking and screaming off a server because they wanted to save their precious AKS.

Could have sworn you CAN ban for combat logging and ALT + F4 game-play.

Pictures? Video proof? Anything?

Sounds like you were hacking and got caught. Battleye doesn't ban for much of anything else and they're the only reason you can get global banned from ALL of the servers due to CD key bans. Enjoy spending another $20.00+ for a new CD key and try again.

Gump gets run off Devils group = Get a hacker to take out him being mad on Devil. GG.

This is obviously hacking, not server abuse. Admins hacked the matrix and made the game explode. Put this in the right freaking forum = /

This sounds like HACKING!

Ever accidentally duped food or water in game? Did you immediately delete it? No? Then you're cheating by using duped items. Ever duped a backpack by putting on a ghilli suit? Yes? Did you delete it? No? Then you are cheating by duping.

Screenshots? Video proof? Egyptian script of the actions which happened? Anything? No? Ok well it didn't happen.

Sticky #4, top of the forum as soon as you click the cheat report section. Have a nice day.

It's not at the admins discretion honestly because the rules and guidelines put up for what an admin can and can not ban for are very clear. You're not a vigilante and therefore are not allowed to just piss on the rules and the word of Rocket because you decided to start making up your own rules of what you can and can not ban people for. People who do this are in direct breach of the rules placed on a server admin for how he can govern a server. Do I think it's bad? Yep, I do. Do we ban people for hacked weapons? Nope. Why? See above. Being an admin doesn't mean you can take the law into your own hands simply because you pay for the server.

Sadly, this video shows no evidence of you being teleported at all. It just shows people dieing and what sounds like a machine gun going off and all of you running around. If you're going to post a video as proof at least post something showing you the hack in action. This thread shows no proof of anything at all except the fact you know how to swear in your keyword tags.

Screenshots, video proof, or anything at all to show proof of this? Is there any evidence against them you can give the admins? If you don't, then this was a waste of your time and apparently mine by typing this out. Read the forum rules before posting baseless accusations like this on it.

^ True story

This, any gear you find in the crates is yours to use as you see fit. Be warned though, servers have been known to ban people if they are found with weapons not in the database in their inventory. This is not a global ban and only sticks for the server you were banned for, just some food for thought.

This is specifically to Ian Cromwell and TGC Yukkimura. Dear Yukki, grow some balls :) You get shot and immediately ALT F4 out to save your sorry ass. You then get on the bat phone and Ian logs on his second account to bail you out after you jumped to a different server and ghost me.Yes, I didn't get you, but I did get Ian :) Because apparently you can't kill anyone legit without wearing that Alt and F4 key out XD Take a hint. Get better at the game and you don't have to kick people from the server and then BAN them after they kill your clan mates. I won't bother with an appeal or a report because nothing can be done about garbage players like you who abort at the first sign a bullet comes anywhere near them. But I will make this wonderful post and praise how inventive you are that you've figured out how to abort and ghost people who are even remotely a threat to you :D

Thank you. I'm very pleased I was able to get you to come to this thread and tell me that. My day is now complete, i'm going to go dance in the rain and praise this fact now :)

Server Admin : Raven Server Type : Regular Warning : Admin is kicking players for no reason so his friends Wesley and Foxhound can gather loot. I don't have picture proof of this happening due to the Admin kicking me, my clan, and everyone else as soon as they join. If you are the admin of this server then please be aware i'm putting a ticket in in regards to your kicking of people. There's no reason for you to be doing this as I know I haven't ever even been on your server to give you a reason to kick me and it sure as hell wasn't because of my ping.

Or you could get all the proof you need by trying to connect to the server and getting kicked yourself? Just a thought... Also, kinda hard to get a screenshot when you're IMMEDIATELY kicked off the server unless you just wanna see a picture of it saying "You were kicked off the server."?

On the server we put up we have plans to put all those into the script.txt but we want to know something else. There has been a recent outbreak of people who use the bug of where the game doesn't load trees/plants/ grass and then go around killing other players / raiding camps / stealing vehicles. Is there a way we as admins can combat this? A way to have battle.eye or the game check to see if those files are loading?
