Sure, I play quite a bit of DayZ, at home and at work...... there's at least 1 hacker on every server all hours of the day and in most cases more then 1. Then there's the abusive admins who in most instances can be classified as basement dwelling children who never see the light of day and care how big their e-peen is. These are the people you, I and everyone else play with. Most of these people will get really butt hurt if you kill them. And you know what? I'm sure quite a few of them act similar to this kid: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bg9uNYwoJ3o So yes, as we have already seen, people are being added to this "CBL" over hurt feelings in-game. The process to get removed isn't very intuitive at all as you have to rely on another end-user (gamer) to sort through the hundreds of other appeals and hope you get removed. For anyone who gets pasted onto this "community", I feel for you. The worst thing a game can allow is empowering it's players with the ability to police eachother, too many egos and hurt feelings to keep the abuse from happening.

Chances are slim that you were banned for no reason on a BE global level. Although, scripts can be passed and triggered for other users, if someone were to toss a eventHandler into the scenario it could be possible but they'd have to create a savvy little script to pull it off for this sort of effect. At any rate, contact BE and have them do a review. They will either fix it or won't respond and leave you banned, all depends on the circumstances.

Disconnecting to lobby isn't ALT+F4 Maybe.... he had to shit? Maybe.... he has a kid and had a emergency? Maybe.... just maybe, his internet went out? Server logs and reports don't log this crap, all they show is USER <A> connected, USER <A> disconnected. Keystrokes are not recorded.

There are? lol http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?app=core&module=search&do=search&fromMainBar=1 https://www.google.com/#sclient=psy-ab&hl=en&q=ban+%22974f%22&oq=ban+%22974f%22&gs_l=hp.3...977.3857.0.4025.9.7.2.0.0.0.137.560.6j1.7.0.les%3B..0.0...1c.Yc84eTi7Ci0&pbx=1&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.&fp=4867e50af1efbe24&biw=1243&bih=770

what?

I think these guys bit off a little more then they could chew and are only now realizing the time involved in management of something like this. Too many false bannings due to someone's e-feelings getting hurt cause they died and lost their leet gear. Crap like this is all that one would have to send in for a person to get added to the naughty list: [b]GUID affected:[/b] 6392b15a7f780f1b5f90f633e95d694c [b]Explanation:[/b] 20.08.2012 01:01:17: Fred (207.253.165.219:2304) 6392b15a7f780f1b5f90f633e95d694c - #0 " if (isServer) then { _object = createVehicle ['ATV_CZ_EP1', [9761, 1762.29, 0], [], 0, 'CAN_COLLIDE']; _object setVariable ['ObjectID', 1982.85, true]; dayz_serverObjectMonitor set [count dayz_serverObjectMonitor, _object]; _uid = _object call dayz_objec" 20.08.2012 01:01:17: Fred (207.253.165.219:2304) 6392b15a7f780f1b5f90f633e95d694c - #3 " if (isServer) then { _object = createVehicle ['ATV_CZ_EP1', [9761, 1762.29, 0], [], 0, 'CAN_COLLIDE']; _object setVariable ['ObjectID', 1982.85, true]; dayz_serverObjectMonitor set [count dayz_serverObjectMonitor, _object]; _uid = _object call dayz_objec" Have backups of logs & server logs / rpt if needed Insert target GUID, add random IP address, submit and done. Doesn't even matter what their profile (player) name is cause it's GUID based for the ban. Enter the name of BigFloppyDonkeyDick if you want, doesn't matter one bit.

You obviously don't understand the term private server That means ANYONE can host the MySQL database. You can host it locally if you want. That is why it's a "hacked" server. Anyone with ArmA2 can host a dedicated server with -server startup command. The irony is Admin running hacked server bans someone for hacked weapon..... lol

He's not appealing, he's asking a question http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Appeal

It's a private server, just go to a regular server. Private servers are funny anyway since they are basically hacked copies of DayZ.

This fix must be done by DayZ staff in order to have the proper bisign key applied to the pbo pack. Else the signature check will fail (as you all have now seen when getting kicked from servers).

I warned people that this is going to happen. Server admins in most cases have VERY little knowledge of scripting and how this game actually works. Everyone here is a end-user, meaning you are not a BI employee and you don't understand the inner workings of the game. It's far to common for people to skimm through a console log or server report and think they've just solved the biggest case since OJ Simpson. http://dayzmod.com/f..._40#entry741517 The creator of the "CBL" as they like to call it, Community Ban List, doesn't seem to understand that he is a end-user like everyone else and as such has no way to prove that someone is submitting false information to him. It's quite easy for ANYONE to spend a few minutes on this forum alone and do a quick copy/paste of information that someone else posted, then swap out the GUID's and, BAM... you've just banned someone cause you were butt hurt about getting killed by them. This CBL needs a lot more then just some random players manageing it to ensure it doesn't get abused. They can say all they want but at the end of the day they have NO WAY of proving a submitted log is true or false information. Point in case, this thread right here. My advice, make them prove that the information submitted is infact legitimate. (they can't) This is no different then going to the DMV with a "picture" of a birth certificate and requesting a driver's license. Can you prove, with just that picture, that the birth certificate is legitimate? No, it could have been photochopped. Ever wonder why most establishments won't accept emailed scanned/images of documents and tell you to send in a Fax or mail in the original? Cause things can be falsified, just like this here.

Not in all cases... This happened to me where I was left in-game on one server as this was going on. I was the only one left on and everyone else got booted and couldn't reconnect. On another server in that same instance I was booted off with the rest and couldn't get back on.

Define "Admin Menu" in-game If you mean the server control panel then yeah, that's been disabled in most cases due to a outdated BE bypass method that was previously used for people to hack.

Honestly, every server you join now that has more then 15 people on it will generally have at least 1 scripter/hacker. And if more then 1 gets on a server then they have a pissing contest at the expense of everyone else.

maybe he'll call ya

Understanding scripts goes a long way against banning people for legitimate entires that the game makes.

You missed the point there. You, as a non BI employee, have absolutely no way to prove that these are made up. This I can assure you of. You are a end-user like the rest of the community here and as such your information and understanding of the product is limited. Your knowledge is based on he said/she said and what you've read. You are relying on other end-users to provide you with information that you then say go/no-go for adding to the list. Again, YOU have no way of proving submitted materials are simply copied and pasted. I could do a 10 minute search on this site and pull at least 50 different postings that contain server Admins asking questions and complaining about players on their servers and simply alter a few of the data entries to match the desired target that I want added to the ban list and you have no way to prove otherwise. Having no direct access to BattleEye server data or internal BI stuff means you are basing all of this on a whim, period. My point stands, this has way too much room for abuse and anyone who intends on using it on their server just simply opens the door to false bannings because Admin (A) on Server (F) got butt hurt about Player (Z) shooting him in the face and taking his LEET gearz.

Always possible they came upon a tent belonging to someone else that had them in there. I've seen this before as well as vehicle inventories. If they were duped or not is another thing but it wouldn't be impossible for someone to find 12 of them on a server. The chances that they were finding 12, one at a time in random grid locations around the map is pretty much a dead give away however.

Glad to help, pm me anytime

No you can't because you don't have the DayZ bisign key...so you can't make DayZ signed addons

The Admin is probably mistaking "\ca\ui\scripts\Hide" for custom scripts. The CA folder is packed by BI and carries a signature file. If you were to unpack it (as you would have to to mod it) and toss custom scripts in there, you'd have to repack it and it'd have a invalid signature file that would then prevent you from joining a DayZ server. So, to put it lightly, it's not possible.

Exactly, this thing right here has the upmost chance of being abused by anyone who gets upset and butthurt about getting killed by someone else and losing their epic gear. All they have to do (if they happen to see them losing connection or having a high ping and getting booted) is write down their GUID and add it to the list, or better yet if they are Admin and have direct access to the GUID in logs. Good idea, bad judgment is my 2cents. Community list is step in the right direction but with the power in the people's hands it's just too risky to have as a standard for all servers and not have it abused. Anyone can type up a text file and rename or add-in lines.

Posting the scripts gives them out to others, best not to

I have been playing DayZ since early June. During the time I've been playing I have met some interesting folks and took part in forming a small little group to enjoy the game for what is has to offer. Like most groups, things do not last forever without common interest and as such our small little group has started to wither away with everyone parting in their own direction. I enjoy playing this game with others, solo isn't really my game style. I'm aiming to build up a solid team of dependable folks, people who can understand commitment and are not accustomed to flaking on others. As a combat veteran with 9 years of service in the Marine Corps, I'm looking for like minded individuals to team with who enjoy gaming on a higher level then that of spawning in to run around for a few minutes for some grab asz. Tactics, trust and dependability are the keys areas that I follow in DayZ. Above all, a casual family oriented environment is most important to me, as I understand the realities of life and that everyone has commitments outside of a video game. Ideal candidate for this group will have a desire to bond and be part of a team that can operate efficiently and also kick back for some smoking and joking during down times. Boobery and Jackaszerry should be left behind as it will not be tolerated at any time. Trust is key and all candidates must be accepted into the group on a mutual basis to ensure the upmost level of trust is met. Shady characters will be ousted immediately, the same goes for anyone who is found to be in violation of the Stolen Valor Act (do not try and fake the funk to join this group). To be accepted into this group you must meet the following criteria: Currently serving as Active or Reserve Prior service Retiree Mature (I do not game with asshats) Dependable (if you tend to flake then please do not waste my time) Trustworthy Voice comms (must have a microphone and be competent enough to communicate with others) Ventrilo will be the primary source for communications with this group. A server is setup and ready for use. Teampseak, Skype, Mumble, Telegraph, ICQ, Courier Pigeon will not be acceptable forms of communications. You must use Ventrilo. If you need assistance with setting up Ventrilo then feel free to PM me. Pissing contests will be frowned upon. We have all served and been there done that got the t-shirt, there's no reason to compare salad bars or thump chests. After all, this is a zombie apocalypse and survival is key, working as a team will be the primary focus. We will not be using clan names or tags. The group will operate as one and requires no form of identification other then who is to your left and right. If you are interested in becoming part of this team you can PM me on the forums here. Individuals who are accepted will be provided with the Ventrilo server information.
