If people stop hosting you will have no where to play. Keep shooting yourself in the foot.

Troll on troll on.

Dez just quit responding. This community seems to go after server admins when they make a mistake like it was nobodies business. Instead of correcting mistakes people just want to see servers blacklisted.

I set a ban for 2 days yesterday. I appreciate the apology and I'm glad that you guys are regulars on the server. I will remove your ban as soon as I can get to it just please do not disconnect again.

Just cancelled the server. Looks like it's going to be a free for all.

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH WAIT A SECOND!!!!!!! It isn't my camp. It is a friend's camp. A couple of friend's actually. You didn't even touch my camp... I only have 1 vehicle! You are a tool!

It should honestly be I pay for a server and I have full discretion.

What's up guy! :D So glad you could join us. I hopped on the server and immediately I heard a few explosions. I look back and see some fire going off in a friends camp. I scope in to see what's going on and boom headshot. I die. I download the logs to see what was up and I see the following: 18:56:48 BattlEye Server: Player #11 WNxKATIEYAY (72.83.148.15:2304) connected 18:56:48 BattlEye Server: Player #11 WNxKATIEYAY - GUID: f31220a4c36d52be6729b4030f6c78dc (unverified) 18:56:48 BattlEye Server: Verified GUID (f31220a4c36d52be6729b4030f6c78dc) of player #11 WNxKATIEYAY 19:21:30 "UPDATE: [b 1-1-L:1 (WNxKATIEYAY) REMOTE,[["5Rnd_127x99_as50",3],"ItemWaterbottle",["5Rnd_127x99_as50",2],["5Rnd_127x99_as50",3],"5Rnd_127x99_as50","5Rnd_127x99_as50","5Rnd_127x99_as50","ItemSodaCoke","FoodSteakCooked","15Rnd_9x19_M9SD","15Rnd_9x19_M9SD","ItemBandage","ItemBandage"],false]" 19:21:30 "HIVE: WRITE: "CHILD:201:25682063:[55,[7475.01,7575.53,0]]:[["ItemFlashlight","ItemFlashlightRed","ItemGPS","ItemHatchet","ItemKnife","ItemMap","ItemToolbox","ItemWatch","ItemEtool","ItemCompass","ItemMatchbox","Binocular_Vector","NVGoggles","M9SD","BAF_AS50_TWS"],[["5Rnd_127x99_as50",3],"ItemWaterbottle",["5Rnd_127x99_as50",2],["5Rnd_127x99_as50",3],"5Rnd_127x99_as50","5Rnd_127x99_as50","5Rnd_127x99_as50","ItemSodaCoke","FoodSteakCooked","15Rnd_9x19_M9SD","15Rnd_9x19_M9SD","ItemBandage","ItemBandage"]]:["DZ_Backpack_EP1",[["Mk_48_DZ"],[1]],[["PipeBomb","ItemPainkiller","ItemMorphine","ItemBloodbag","100Rnd_762x51_M240"],[1,2,2,1,3]]]:[]:false:false:0:0:0:0:["","",42]:0:0::0:" / 25682063" 19:06:58 BattlEye Server: Player #3 Rip (81.151.150.145:50099) connected 19:06:58 BattlEye Server: Player #3 Rip - GUID: 5af4d86431e382cc44f3c372a03e738d (unverified) 19:06:58 BattlEye Server: Verified GUID (5af4d86431e382cc44f3c372a03e738d) of player #3 Rip 19:32:52 "UPDATE: [b 1-2-E:1 (Rip) REMOTE,["5Rnd_127x99_as50","5Rnd_127x99_as50","5Rnd_127x99_as50","5Rnd_127x99_as50","PipeBomb",["PipeBomb",0],"PipeBomb",["PipeBomb",0],"PipeBomb",["PipeBomb",0],"ItemSodaCoke","FoodSteakCooked","ItemBandage","ItemBandage","15Rnd_9x19_M9SD","15Rnd_9x19_M9SD","15Rnd_9x19_M9SD","15Rnd_9x19_M9SD","15Rnd_9x19_M9SD","15Rnd_9x19_M9SD"],false]" 19:32:52 "HIVE: WRITE: "CHILD:201:26148788:[0,[519.658,8174.25,0.00119019]]:[["ItemFlashlight","ItemWatch","BAF_AS50_scoped","NVGoggles","ItemGPS","ItemToolbox","M9SD","ItemMatchbox","ItemCompass","ItemHatchet","ItemKnife","ItemMap","ItemEtool"],["5Rnd_127x99_as50","5Rnd_127x99_as50","5Rnd_127x99_as50","5Rnd_127x99_as50","PipeBomb",["PipeBomb",0],"PipeBomb",["PipeBomb",0],"PipeBomb",["PipeBomb",0],"ItemSodaCoke","FoodSteakCooked","ItemBandage","ItemBandage","15Rnd_9x19_M9SD","15Rnd_9x19_M9SD","15Rnd_9x19_M9SD","15Rnd_9x19_M9SD","15Rnd_9x19_M9SD","15Rnd_9x19_M9SD"]]:["DZ_Backpack_EP1",[[],[]],[["ItemPainkiller","ItemMorphine","PipeBomb"],[1,1,11]]]:[]:false:false:0:0:12:0:["","amovpercmrunsraswrfldf",42]:0:0::0:" / 26148788" As soon as I see the first thermal as50 I stop the server as I had just seen your message and another person respond saying he wanted to join up. So the server is stopped and I go through this and ban two people. The server comes back up and all is well. I'm still going through the logs and it seems you guys found that camp mighty fast. I wonder what else I'll be finding in these logs. Take care now! :D PS: It's amazing what happens to destroyed vehicles in DayZ once a restart occurs. Must be a shame to waste all of that time.

Regarding the first report: Hello HarlReddit, Sorry you had a bad experience on our server. Let me explain what has happened in the last two hours. The server is brand new... 4-5 hours I believe. I haven't been on for most of the day and I was notified by a few players that there was a hacker in the server. I sent multiple global messages saying that I was going to shutdown the server because I need to go through the logs to figure out what's up. Let me explain that I have never run a DayZ server before and I did not know what would and would not show up in the logs so it took me a bit of googling. During this process I locked the server and shortly after realized this was not allowed. My reaction was to kick everyone in the server and send global messages letting them know I was going through the logs and the server would be playable again in a few. I now realize that I should have stopped the server and then read the logs but I wanted to give players a fair amount of warning. The issue with this is that everyone kept rejoining. This led to a bad practice of 'pausing' the server and I've learned from it and it will not happen again. Just to clear up a few things the only admin is myself 'Brett'. The other two players left at multiple times but kept rejoining just like you. The next time I have a situation like this I will give a 5 minute warning and then stop the server instead of doing what I did today. I do however have a slight issue with you flooding the server with connection requests with your name changed and taunting us with a server report. The server is brand new and to see a player like yourself go off on me when this is just an issue of not much server experience was concerning. We welcome everyone on the server and we are sorry for this issue. Thanks - Brett === Regarding the second report: Another member vouched for you and it was a mistake that I didn't ban you. I just set down core rules to the server that include things like banning hackers and hoarders. While our server is not perfect it is 2 days old and things are changing. Once again I take full responsibility for not banning you from the beginning. You can rest assured that anyone coming on the server with hacked items will be banned as soon as I am made aware of it. I did not say I would ban someone if they touched a vehicle. The server was also not restarted 3 times because we were worried someone was in our camp. 1 - was a scheduled restart and the 2nd was because vehicles weren't showing up after the restart. Take care! ===== At this point the user was banned and so was his entourage since they were now harassing members in teamspeak. Users from his makeship group of griefers used new accounts(new guid) to bypass the bans and were able to play on the server without me knowing. They think they had a right to be there because it was a new account and I had no right to ban them because they had done nothing wrong on those accounts. I was only made aware of the fact that they were on my server when one of them killed me and start berating me about it in teamspeak. I banned them all again - not for killing me but for bypassing the ban. They were removed from my server for a reason and they had no right to come back. Ban bypassing be it GUID spoofing or new accounts should be a global ban issue imo. At this point I banned all of their IP addresses. Regarding me posting one member's IP Address let me first state that you have no expectation of privacy when you join a privately paid for server. Your IP Address was posted on TeamSpeak and Pastebin and will be available publically through the server's ban list. If the information isn't allowed on this forum then I will edit it from my previous posts and I apologize but I certainly do not apologize posting this guy's information so other server admins don't have to deal with his griefer group. Both members who have reported the server are in said group and they will continue to do what they can to get back at me. The conversation before he left was 'ban me and i'll report you' which I'm sure many admins are receiving these days. Good day!

Calling someone a moron does indeed fall into that. Take care!

Once again ad hominem. You are incapable of having a discussion where you don't call someone a moron or an asshole. Having hacked items is indeed bannable just not globally bannable. Many other server admins ban for users having hacked weapons. Matter of fact I just banned 7 users earlier today for having as50 thermal.

You don't know me and it doesn't take an intelligent guy to see that both poster's are indeed friends and this is a coordinated attack. Look at the evidence against the individual and it is pretty easy to see he is indeed using hacked items. A Local Ban was placed and now him and his friends are butthurt and the only way they can try to exact revenge is to get the server blacklisted. It will not work and the only reason this is still a relevant topic is because people like you are commenting on a non-factual basis. Making assumptions about things that are not relevant to any of the bans. Look at the simple fact that he did indeed have hacked items and the discussion is over. TheMadBomba: Bring everything ya got. You'll be leaving with a flashlight and a bandage.

v1ktor did you feel the need to respond to both threads. LOL

Evidence has already been posted. A screenshot of his weapon and server logs of said weapon and other hacked ammo. For the second time the two threads are from the same group of people. They were a group and when I banned one another started drama. Regardless of all of this when it comes to rules I have followed them. ♥

V1ktor - nice ad hominem bro. You lost that argument before I even made a retort. Furthermore no you cannot keep those items. If you would read Rocket's post it says you cannot receive a GLOBAL BAN for receiving hacked items as long as you did not spawn them. You can and you will be LOCALLY BANNED from most servers for having these items. Think I'm wrong? Post a link stating so from Rocket. The only one I've seen him address is about global bans. Also I highly doubt you would be willing to spend $400+ on servers to combat all the admins saying they will not pay for their servers. I would typically say have a good day but fuck you for being a douchebag and starting off with an ad hominem. What a child.
