necro to the front I want to see some resolution

bump to the top I am interested in this since we have at least 2 documented instances from separate groups with visual proof I would really like to see a dev comment on this

You talk about ignoring things said in this thread, I did not. I am arguing the fact that you say you have no invested emotion into your hours and hours of time to setup a camp and lose it all. I call that into question unless you have no emotion at all, which is impossible. Will you snap your fingers and shrug your shoulders about being outplayed or will you ban a group of players that outsmarted you ? (this isn't a question anymore since your action are bringing more and more into light)
It seems like baning the group was an emotional decision and one that you jumped to with haste. Saying that you would take away the ban and give them credit has nothing to do with the end result that you banned without justification, your own words say you cannot prove a "hack". You want to be a good admin do not fear the public forum, do not ban without proof.
Stop acting like this is a witch hunt and take some responsibility and maybe realize that you made the mistake and are now paying for it, by losing credibility to this community. Defending yourself is part of what any person with power must do. It looks even worse when you make a post saying this is what happened, I call anyone else childish that disagrees and I am taking my ball and going home(not going to reply here anymore).

It is funny that I come here looking for information on server admin abuse and I find this thread. I have no knowledge of the above event but I have played on multiple servers that suddenly switched to night and other suspicious events that I thought was server side abuse with loot or vehicles being respawned or restarted. I guess this is a rampant problem when admins invest time, feeling, and have power over a server.
This thread is a very intersting read for multiple reasons
First you have admins, who felt they where banning a group of hackers and serving the community (supposedly)
2nd you have an ambitious group of players that used public information to find and loot the hard work of a group of players that happen to be admins (or they cheated and deserved the ban)
I would like to know how the admin group was feeling when they issued the ban. Anger or frustration had to influence the decision to ban at least a little. That to me is the core problem, since neither group can prove anything beyond he said she said( actually I believe the players here didn't cheat they have a solid defense). so this is clearly an abuse of power that any legal system worth a damn would laugh at and dismiss any charges brought up against them.
Do you think that the group of players would be banned if they did this to any other group but the admin group ? I highly doubt any action would be taken against them. This is more of a growing problem than any other alpha bug out there. Hackers will be caught and banned, eventually, server admins can hide behind the power they have and manipulate their server to give unfair advantages over all other players.
TLDR version: admins acted out of frustration and banned players without proof, black list and disallow them from hosting any other servers. They will only abuse power again and kill the growth of this community over time. Who wants to play a sandbox type game when you are only allowed a bucket of sand while others have a mountain and will not allow you to steal some of their sand?

hey you and I differ in a lot I can tell. I am not hurt I wasn't even involved but I don't like people abusing power in any situation, because it is almost the normal accepted act in a US society today. I do admin and pay for my own server and I don't run it like your friend who you are protecting
