Vertisce

Bumping for more votes and opinions. Thanks again guys.

lol...wow...you have a bit of a superiority complex. Good thing you have done nothing to earn anybody's respect. Age sure doesn't earn you shit for respect. The one who is lacking in common sense is you. Follow the rules or be blacklisted. THAT is common sense.

That is actually a hell of a lot better. Instead of blaming people for one thing or another you took a neutral stance and educated people on what possibilities may exist and what actions should be taken before making a post on the forums. The new OP is MUCH better!

Zoop...you really need to learn how to read. You ask for any recommendations for alterations and yet you flat out ignore the ones people have been telling you about. Such as calling all players "ungrateful" while defending every admin giving them a pass to do whatever they want. I have seen far too many posts on the Ban Appeals forum where admins flat out admit to their own admin abuse simply because they failed to read and follow the rules to believe that this thread has any validation whatsoever. This thread does not deserve to be stickied for the simple fact that it accuses and calls out one group of people while defending another. You could have made a post that was less of an attack on the players and more of a statement of facts. Instead it is all opinion and butthurt and somehow a moderator in their infinite wisdom decided to sticky it. I am not sure why since it does not state or accomplish anything that isnt already done by another stickied thread in the proper forum.

The ignorance being spewed in this thread is mind boggling. I haven't been banned by this wave of false positives that is happening. It is clearly a problem...you don't get a shitload of people all complaining about being illegitimately banned on a coincidence. BE is looking into the issue but have not admitted that there is one as of yet. Just that they are investigating the problem. It is almost positive that they will find the problem and it will be fixed. It may take some time. People that have been banned have a legitimate reason to be concerned. Not only did they pay money for ArmA but in a professional sense, being accused of cheating can be a problem. In some professions it can lose you a job. I can tell you right now that I work for a small company who has a company standard that I am required to follow at work, and as I represent my company outside work I am expected to follow that standard in my daily life as well. Integrity is part of my companies standard. If my boss found out I was cheating in a video game, I guarantee you I would be fired even though my job has nothing to do with gaming whatsoever.

You mean to say that "for once" you didn't ban someone illegitimately? Well I believe you this time given today's odd ban issues.

Those of you saying that posting about these global bans on this forum is pointless...think about this. If there are enough global ban reports all at once on this forum...don't you think the DayZ staff might look at that and think..."hmmm...there might be a problem." At which point they contact BIS who contacts Battleye. This rash of bannings is a Battleye issue. Battleye is probably aware of it but letting the game devs know about it is not a bad thing. They DO have a way of contacting Battleye if necessary.

Your email was also rather asinine. If you sent me an email like that and the fate of your game was in my hands, I would delete your email and ignore you. Calling them stubborn was probably a bad idea. While your ban was probably not legit due to the issues apparent with bans recently, I would recommend using a little tact when asking someone who has power over you to do something.

Yeah...it looks like Battleye has had a brainfart...again...this isn't the first time. I remember this happening a while back when I was playing ArmA 2 A.C.E almost religiously and once in ArmA 1 back in the day. I have managed to avoid this happening to me in the past. Looks like I lucked out again this time too.

Oh my god that had me laughing so hard at work. Your ASCII skills are legendary! There is a difference between an actual Global Ban and the admin/hacker just typing in the right stuff to make it look like a global ban.

Admins need to learn to follow the rules. Post the proof for the reason of the bans or unban them and stop banning players against the rules.

He is the only admin of that server if I am not mistaken. Meaning he is the only person with the power to restart the server, kick and ban. That's enough evidence for me.

Good God! The ignorance of some people! The more crap like this I read the more I think I am a certified genius among morons. Some present company excluded of course.

Ok...I put myself in your shoes. Here I am. I am given specific rules to follow by the developer of the game. I am told I can only ban for certain reasons. So here is me in your shoes...I follow the rules. I don't break them. I don't ban anybody for any reason other than what is specifically stated as a bannable offense by the devs. There you go. Me in your shoes...following the rules. You in your shoes...breaking them because you think you know better. Why is it so hard to understand?

Then by your own words you should "go and fuck off" since Rocket has made it quite clear what offenses warrant a ban and what do not. Some admins seem to be unable to play within those boundaries.

lol...oh boy... $60 is a good pricepoint for the game. Congrats on going standalone. Personally I wish to see it on the ArmA 3 engine. Crytech 3 would be cool but I doubt you could get the same map size and flexibility with it.

I rarely use tents...if I can't carry it on me...I don't need it. And there is nothing I can't get within half an hour of starting over either.

No.

The problem is...once you let the admins ban who they want for whatever reason they deem suitable you open the door for every admin to abuse those priveledges. Also...Rocket needs players to be on the servers, yes even cheaters, to be able to see the code and fix issues caused by them. Follow the rules. They are there for a reason.

God that first post is horrible...

Admins are not allowed to ban or even kick players for use of a hacked item. You must prove that they in fact hacked in the item. You are also required to post on the forums who you kick/banned, why and the proof. You must be new.

I think the admins are trying to do the right thing but they need to read the rules for banning players. For all those players you banned you have to have proof and post it on the forums yourselves now. It requires a little more work on your behalf but it forces admins to have that proof before banning.

Sorry but banning for possession of a hacked weapon is not allowed. You can't prove he didn't get it off another person. Follow the rules or I hope you get blacklisted for breaking them. You agreed to follow the rules when you were allowed to set up a server by the DayZ admins. Follow those rules. Ok? Thanks.

I hate hackers/chearters/exploiters but admins that cant follow very simple rules are worse. Especially when they ban without proof. Even more so when they ban and then blatantly refute the rules set forth by devs because they think they are entitled to certain rights just because they pay for the server.

Normally I am all for second chances but I am going to go for no on this one simply because you had the audacity to tell us you didn't know cheating was wrong. It doesn't get much dumber than that.
