I love how no matter how reasonable you try to be...all server admins are criminals for simply trying to defend their servers to their best ability. Doesn't matter much to me any more. Host Altitude sucks more ass than a Atlantic City male prostitute. They shut 401 down for non-payment 24 hours ago and have yet to even respond to our ticket which links them to their own account statements showing we'd paid for two months service and were credited for a third due to poor service. Overall, if server admins are criminals, the hosts are the damned mafia. Don't much care about the cash though. Just hate trusting it with people that don't give a damn about their clients.

I appreciate your clarification on matters and it is entirely possible that I could have read a false positive in the logs due to what you are describing. Currently US 401 is down because our host says we haven't paid our bill...but we have, and it'll take them like 8 hours to even figure that out....so its entirely possible that we'll be dumping 401 entirely either today or in the very near future. I do have your clan bans backed up locally though and will review the RPT one more time and remove the bans based on the information supplied. What a lot of grief and negativity for something that could easily be dealt with between reasonable individuals eh?

I'm having to respond on a newly registered account, my other account is screwed up after the 8/13 forum maintenance and can't log in, the DayZ Support team is trying to fix that at this time. Anyways far as Shaun of the Bread goes, I'm going to lift the bans on the members of your clan that did not show any evidence of major world position coordinate change. At the time of the bans it was a case of guilt by association. I have the logs of the individuals that teleported to your location. I will be forwarding them to the DayZ team. Now, far as everything else goes, simple facts are plenty of people have found that base and their corpses are there as proof of it. Including this guy here, who killed someone at the base and then was shot down trying to steal a vehicle. I didn't ban him initially, we called it fair play...turns out he wasn't quite as clean as he seemed, after parsing createvehicle.log, this came up. (X's are to protect IP/GUID privacy but will be reported). 15.08.2012 08:04:18: Xy (XX.XX.XX.XXX:2304) XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX - #0 "AmmoBoxBig" 192:21 [6534,13097,213] So heres a guy that came into the base completely legitimately, seemed completely legit...but wasn't legit. Simple facts are we don't ban anyone without looking at our logs. Xy here was banned well after we dropped him while trying to steal a motorcycle. We thought he was a legit bandit.....he wasn't as our createvehicle.log shows. Shaun, we have a public teamspeak, the URL is right there in our MOTD, and this entire situation could have been mediated quite easily by you getting in contact with us to find out why we did what we did. All this drama and off topic argument has been completely unnecessary, in the future, perhaps not assume immediately that you're dealing with "admin abuse". Your entire clan was shotgunned because the log review showed teleports in use in regards to several of them. When it comes to clans we tend to look at the situation in regards to guilt by association...but had we spoken about the issue at all before this thread, I'd have been more than willing to concede that you might have no idea if some of your clan mates are using illegitimate programs or not. Its not like they'll tell you, any more than they'll tell anyone else. In the end, we're still holding that base and we're still shooting down anyone that comes at it, but we're definitely dealing with a lot more crap than we used to.
