I pay the bill for the server Claymore, me, and many friends play on. How someone has played a few weeks and not seen a single hack or exploit is amazing. How we feel is that let us server admins help. Saying that we can ban someone and get them a global ban for hacks and such IF we can provide screenshots or evidence is bullshit. How do you provide evidence of the pop pop hack or the ESP hacks? Many many people seem to be the victim of both of those. Blaming this on ARMA and just rushing headlong with dev and limiting server admin power to stop this is ludicrous. Glitches will happen. Its an alpha, I get that. Crazy weird shit will happen sometimes. Saying "Hackers exist, deal with it" is a crap answer as well. Do I as the person paying the bill for the server have the want or time to sit and watch the server log all the time every day? No way. Not going to happen. So give us tools and power to be able to kick/ban when we need to, or take a good long look at some of the current hacks/exploits. And before anyone says admins will abuse power too much. Admins already are, and there are just as many if not more complaints about that as hacking. Shouldnt that be treated the same way? But shouldnt those of us that love the game, enjoy the hunt, the intensity, and ll of the amazing things that Day Z can provide have more reassurance? I dont want to lock my server down. I just want to make it open and friendly (as much as I can) to play on where people dont have to worry about any form of hacking. Is that really asking too much? I mean, there are websites dedicated to SELLING AN INSTALLER to mod your game with hacks. Yet nothing seems to be being done about that.

Im owner of said server. In the last few days there has been what seems like a number of hacks and/or script execution. BattleEye does a pretty decent job on banning for scripts, but hacks are a pain. If all we see in the logs is 'PlayerX killed PlayerY' then we cant kick or ban said player. It sucks I agree. I do do my best to keep an eye out for hacks/cheats. My apologies for this happening on my server. I hope you change your mind and continue to play with us. As the person shelling out the money for the server I do wish we had a little more freedom to act and not be seen as bad admins. Id really like to be able to cultivate the server into a much more coop friendly server. Hackers, server jumpers just dont really allow for this.
