What they based their ban on? They give the message along on the kick - "Cheating/Hacking". Either he was or he wasn't, but he's not globally banned and his story seems legit.

Choppers though?

Sidechat was meant to be disabled on servers a while back. That said some still have it. There's no way (as far as I'm aware) to filter them. UK13 and UK1 are two servers that I'm sure have it. Not sure where you are located though. Hope this helps.

As I recall from earlier posts in this topic, you (or your admin friend, I assume you both have access) didn't need proof to ban him. When it comes to your own ass you demand proof? All of a sudden a "fucking hacker who spawned ammboxes" comes out of your magic hat, so now you do know stuff about cheating? Just give up sir.

Have you done this? http://support.dayzmod.com/

[edit] Am replying in the completely wrong topic. My apologies.

Should we all swing random numbers out our ass that are probably right, but may be complete nonsense?

Err, correction, you ban for suspection of hacks and exploits only.

I understand your concern, but is your post just meant to make everyone aware of this? Because I think we are. You don't seem to offer anything else and I'm not sure what it is you are looking for when it comes to responses?

Stop talking shit to everyone and go, enjoy yourself while you splash around in the pond with your tadpoles.

End of discussion?

You can use the name filter on the top of Sixlauncher, click it twice and most of the top servers should be US ones, scroll down the US servers and you'll find the UK servers. Scroll down the UK servers until you see UK7 flash by. Mission Completed.

You mad bro?

You obviously got shot, get over it.

Anything else you need to make it easy on you?

Your friends left your server for another 'cause you didn't ban hoppers?

Don't you only need to send down the logs for a specific day on a specific case? My bad if I'm wrong about this.

Sorry to hear that happened to you, lying down and acting dead usually isn't the best way to handle the situation as the amount of murders displayed in the debug monitor will tell wether you are dead or not. More Usain Bolt next time.

Not saying it's nothing, but 10 people could be reading through those, 10 monkeys could be reading through those, or they have software to read through those for all we know. I would assume they had a pretty good idea of what would happen when introducing it to admins? Let's also assume they can handle it until stated otherwise. I'm not here to tell you all what to do, I would say I couldn't care less but that's not true. I think it would be a shame to see servers get blacklisted, while the people making points against me here are obviously dedicated admins and do give a shit about this game and I respect your efforts.

I respect that, but instead of searching pre-emptive, maybe trying a different approach like searching pro-active (e.g. a player notifies you of abuse and you look into it firmly - tempban for a day / week and give the report system a chance to respond to it. This may even save you time that's wasted on reading every bit of the logs? I do know this might make your server less "clean", but if no one of your veteran players has complained about it, is it really worth it? It may even save you time instead.

- As far as I'm aware - the update on the topic involving the report-system was only announced yesterday (maybe 2 days ago). Right now I'm not aware of how many of those reports have actually been made / handled, but isn't it a bit soon to shoot it down entirely?

My brother and I connect through the same router without any problem whatsoever, it's probably one of the internal router / firewall / ?peerblocker? settings.

My apologies for being unable to withstand the force that pulls me back into this topic, and also for the somewhat extreme example I used to make a point. That said, you still seem to have a firm standing on the point that you don't mind to ?temp?ban 30 - upto 50 / whatever other number now and direct them to the 3000 other servers. I personally don't like to let comments like these pass - again my apologies. Those innocents may have chosen your server as a "home", just like most people I know frequent the same server(s). No problem though, there's 3000 more out there - I genuinely feel sorry for those people + the fact it's just not fun knowing you've been banned for no reason whatsoever. Guilty until proven not guilty? C'mon... That said, I don't have any sympathy for the ones that deserved the ban to begin with, although I don't condone the manner of the ban and the fact that they are (I think) permanent. Again I request you just leave it to the developers or have a better debate going that doesn't involve the point that most admins make here (it's my server I do what I want and I want it clean).

Sorry, I was unaware that going against your opinions, supplying just one random topic from todays ban appeals regarding servers / admins, and trying to make the point that you don't mind banning up to 30 people in order to get rid of bad apples didn't contribute to this conversation. I'll refrain myself from posting further on the topic and leave you in your mighty glory. I do suppose it's the community that's in the wrong trying to defend some innocents. I'm happy you keep the GUID's to yourself now. Enjoy your train of posts containing the message that admins need a bigger banhammer without anyone slowing you down.

Big man. Maybe we should just bomb some countries with innocent parties aswell, but atleast make sure there's no terrorism. Afterwards survivors can still apply for a formal apology. If they come to your TS, does that generally happen before or after you spread their GUID's amongst the other admins like some servers advertise? Grow the fck up, report the exploits as asked and wait on the fix.
