http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/50584-do-you-see-a-dayzhostingcom-server-locked-view/ Who exactly is learning the lesson here? Server is still up and not banned. Please continue degrading the community and driving more server hosts away. _______________________________________________________________ How many posts until we get the traditional "READ THE TOS SCUMBAG ADMINS"?

Stop complaining. The server is up and open. You have you're reasons as to why it as locked. Deal with it and move on.

Please tell me you're not this short sighted. Once we found out the server was not properly reset, we kicked players who were not part of our maintenance team and locked the server. The server has now been manually reset and is open for everyone to play on. Had the server been properly reset upon acquisition we would have had it unlocked from the start. If you're looking for someone to pissed at go complain to HostAltitude for giving us a non reset server and not responding to our ticket in 3 days. (ITS STILL OPEN BTW) I'm actually fairly appalled that everyone is still trying to argue what admins can or can't do. FFS we were trying to give the community a fresh server to play on.

Sounds like you would know? HostAltitude didn't even reset the server when it was purchased. Incidentally your car in Starry along with the other 2 hordes of vehicles and multiple camping tents were found and destroyed (so they could properly respawn for all players). So is the pot calling the kettle black? Additionally did I mention it would be SUPERLATIVE if HostAltitude would actually reset their servers when a new admin purchased them. This kind of customer service is akin to getting a half eaten pizza in what was supposed to be a fresh box. (Fair warning to all) Let's break this down so everyone has a realistic idea of what is actually happening here. > Ian2buckz refunds server 1345. > Server 1345 is purchased by a new owner. > The server is brought online during a major patch weekend. > Over the course of the weekend the server is reset multiple times. > The server is occasionally locked and unlocked (I played multiple times this past weekend). > The owners discover that the server was not properly reset (Nice one HostAltitude!). > Despite being in violation of the rules the owner decided to keep it locked until they can manually reset it, so everyone could have a fresh chance to play. > Spend hours looking for the cars. > Discover they are ALL horded (minus 1 PBX) in 2 different mega camps. > Destroy vehicles (manually resetting server). > Server unlocked today with all vehicles (including helicopters :D) properly respawned and available for all. > ian2buckz gets butthurt and sends email to HostAltitude. > HostAltitude never informing the server Admin of the complaint responds to ian2buckz stating they are suspending the server (Nice one AGAIN HostAltitude). > This misinformed thread is created. > What could have been a nice FRESH server is destroyed by some random impatient moron. To the players who like to report everyone and everything. Do you realize why people host servers? It's not so they can sit around and pander to your every whim. They are providing a free service a community of what appears like generally ungrateful jerks. As proven in this thread. The OP made zero effort to contact the server admin who has already posted in this thread (it's not me, check signatures). Instead he would rather run like a little wimp to the hosting company and cry. Last time my friends and I try and support the community by giving players a fresh start. I guess next we can just take all the vehicles for ourselves.

This. Do people even consider timing with major patches? God forbid someone locks their server until all the patch day(s) woes are sorted out. I would bet $100 the OP made zero attempts to contact the server admin. I just played on the server this morning with no problems... What a bunch of entitled little kids. Perhaps if there was better protection against the RAMPANT hackers, server jumping, and other general douchebaggery admins might not feel required to lock their servers. It's embarassing a DayZ forum mod would support this kind of misinformed accusation. :thumbsup: Before anyone goes any further, they need to read: http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/22386-admin-abuse-what-you-need-to-know/ :thumbsup:
