Hi there, it just an idea. I guess all we admins got a lot of bans for ghosting/combatlogging or just bad behaviour. So my idea is it to share the banlists. If the players are already banned on your server i dont want them on mine. Edit: I dont want banlists form admins who ban for killing admins or stealing their cars etc. For Example DE 9 or DE 1477

This already happens in private hives. When a server is down for a bit, start a new character on another hive, or go back to the main hive for a bit knowing you're still doing your bit to provide all that information the devs need to improve the game. Also, private hives do give you some hacker protection in the form of restarts and rolebacks being possible when everyone gets script-killed. (Which you can do in hive servers, it just won't do any good. Your character is still dead on the hive) Plus you avoid ghosting, server hopping etc etc

Private hives stop ghosting and discourage disconnecting in combat. I think private is the way to go.

Thank you. I may do that today since my brother is starting playing today. One last question, what do you mean by ghosting / alt & f4'ing?

I think without another fix for ghosting, combat logging, and loot farming, it would be a decent option. Not too different from having your Avatar die if you have to switch servers.

1. The admin wasn't the one killed 2. Unconfirmed says you, how do you know? Have a crystal ball in your back pack? 3. Are they even allowed to post logs? Bodha has been very straight forward with all my dealings with him. Heck I even killed him on his own server and I was never banned. 4. His motive was clear that he was pissed because he thought the admin banned him and killed all the players in the server for raiding their tents. Really? He openly admits to ghosting and he thinks that he is soooo important that the admin is willing to kill everyone to stop a raid on their camp? Oh and to add to his further pettyness he posts the location of the camp for everyone in head out to and raid the camp. Great deal there. His actions also brought a crap load more hackers to the server. You gotta love seeing a guy driving around in a vehicle that doesn't even exist on the server who knew the location of every single player as he teleports around the server killing everyone. Yeah, great job there. .

1. That many people have irregularities? And why did it happen right after you were killed? no 2. Unconfirmed 3. Uhm... So far it's his words over yours... Show us? 4. Show us he was hacking... No proof yet... There's also no motive for him to create the video if he was hacking... That would be like committing suicide, because he would know the admins would investigate all of it. The administrators are totally looking like the bad guys here. The ghosting part was legit reason for ban, exploit. But that was clearly not the reason

I play on all the Australian servers and have never really called any of them home. I set up tents on many of them but due to game mechanics they just started duping gear every time the servers reset and it became too easy to gear up and more than a little boring. Then I found a private hive one day and it had side chat, people cooperating, no ghosting, 99% less hackers, voice disabled so less lag and still plenty of pvp. Until the main hive is standalone and game mechanics are fixed I think I will call this place home.

Currently, I am a lone wolf, I have one friend who plays but he doesn't play as often as I do.. I play a lot (several hours per day), most of the time hiding out in the woods/looking for bandit/player camps as I have no one to run/roam with.. I also find myself hopping around servers quite often checking common sniping areas for sheep, to alert me of someone being within the area, in search for Elektro/Cherno snipers to counter, mainly the ones killing new players/fresh spawns. Being a lone wolf, this usually needs to be done, as most servers only end up with 1 or 2 bandits per "sniper hill" and I prefer not killing people who aren't carrying end game gear, I generally like to wait around till I hear gunfire, or the gunfire stops. I also don't use ghosting tactics, I locate and remove said pests to new players from ranges up to 700m possibly exceeding this if there isn't much fog at the current server time/day. I still haven't really found a server to call home, though I have camps on a couple less populated servers (which keep dissapearing I might add). I also frequent area's like Stary Sobor - I find the odd person stalking people here from the hills as well, I don't really go to, too many high traffic areas without support, as I fear losing my gear, which I'm greatly attatched to, though this is the #1 do NOT rule of DayZ lol. while alone, I find searching for Heli crashes to be quite rewarding, and time consuming aha. Preferred Roles: Sniper / Overwatch Scout / Rangefinder A little about me, I've been playing DayZ for about 3 weeks, to a month now. I come from a competitive gaming background, playing games such as Counter-Strike 1.1-1.6 in league(s)/lan tournament play. I'm 27 years old, live in the eastern time zone (UTC -05:00), though I play most of the afternoon/evening/night. I have a mic TS3/Vent. I prefer to find and remove players who make the game an unpleasant experience for new players/fresh spawns (or occasionally die trying). I prefer to play on servers with name tags off, as finding people by accidently scrolling over them is too arcade like. I consider myself to be a friendly player, however I will fire, if I'm fired upon, or someone looks at me a little too long with their gun drawn. haha. Edit: guess I should had entered some contact info Forum PM, is pretty good, or a reply here as I'm actively reading the forums, a lot of the time. Steam ID: JADNOne AO Beta: 96061 DayZ: 1.7.2.5

Yeah we had him. He was constantly ghosting and one shotting people with nothing in his inventory. We finally pinned him down and had several people shooting at him and he logged off, so I decided to throw up the "Alt+F4 to avoid death is an exploit" rule and banned him based on that. But thats all I could get him for cause our log data apparently proves nothing.

I need help near Stary. After making a successful run through the tents I got into a firefight with someone who was ghosting. I ran out of bandages during the fight which ended promptly after I hit him 3 times and he alt+f4'ed for good and am currently 1/3 of the way to the church from the first two tents in the line up with 4k blood, bleeding, unconsciousness and possible broken legs(not sure if they were fractured or broken). Add me on steam: |SSA|TJ.ятт or skype which is the same as my name here. I will be online sometime later today.

I am an administrator of US 2737 and would like to create this formal thread. You will only be banned with proven and just cause. Your rights as a user are outlined on these forums, review them before requesting a ban lift or reason for a kick. However some things to note that are outlined within the rights of the administrator and their right to kick and or ban you. Admins are permitted to ban for suspected cheats or exploits of a non-server-disruptive nature, including but not limited to ghosting, unverified cheating, duping and similar, ONLY if you have solid evidence, IE logs. Admins are permitted to kick or ban for hate speech, including racism and homophobia. This includes harassing a player that is server wide disruptive. Admins are permitted to kick or ban for ongoing severe hacking that is affecting players in a server-disruptive way.If you feel you have been unjustly banned or kicked please post a thread... and i will outline HEAVILY this next part... WITH A CLEAR AND CALM HEAD IN A RESPECTFUL AND ADULT LIKE MANNER. Not doing so means we wont even read your ban lift request unless a dayzmod.com staff person or other respected person of the Day Z community speaks on your behalf. Please in the post include as much information as possible. The more information and cooperation you give the more likely you will be ban-lifted. Being ban-lifted does not vindicate you of any wrong doing and does NOT mean you will receive any apology for the actions of the admin. He/She was only doing what they felt was in the best interest of the Day Z server and what best served those that patron such a fine mod. We monitor our admins as well and hold them just as accountable as you. We take the responsibility of running a server seriously because we know that ultimately what we pay for is not the right to a private fun-house to abuse and destroy but the PRIVILEGE to HELP provide another server to the community and DONATE our private funds to do so. That is all for now, have fun, happy gaming and STAY ALIVE MY FRIENDS! (as said in the most interesting man in the world voice)

As stated by the server hosting guidelines: 11. As a server admin you must not: You are not permitted to ban players for killing yourself or clan members. You are not permitted to shutdown your server when your killed. You are not permitted to shutdown your server when you lose a vehicle. You are not permitted to kick or ban for smacktalk. You are not permitted to ban for suspected cheats or exploits of a non-server-disruptive nature, including but not limited to ghosting, unverified cheating, duping and similar, UNLESS you have solid evidence, IE logs.So where are the logs?

Haven't gotten it up yet, I was running from where I spawned to their camp and I plan on getting my group together and ghosting em. I'll have the link up tomorrow, pretty sure.

go down for TL;DR ok so right now the game is kind of shit it seams no bugs have been fixed since the mod was released just a slow build up of new ones now with artifacts and spawning on the coast whenever you join sometimes even without any gear and ofcourse the old ones like breaking your legs for doing pritty much anything other than standing still and ontop of that the hackers wich are the biggest threat most people probabley die at the hands of these pathetic sad fucks more than from anything else and it as of now there isent rearly any way to stop it and rocket dosent seem to be doing anything about all of this and he dosent seem to want the help of the comunity when it comes to adding new features or fixing bugs or tackling hacks allthough some people have been moding/hacking the game themselfs in some positive ways like the addition of lingor island http://www.dayzwiki....i/Lingor_Island and the addition of new weapons being added to the game though so far only d bags seem to do this just to give themselfs a advantage and there is the fairly recent edition of private serves where people have full control over the server TL;DR the game sucks right now rocket is useless maybe we should take things into are own hands it would be cool if some people out there found a way to stop hacking maybe they make a few private servers each on there own seperate hive and they restrict who can join them and if there is a mass kill hack used the person is banned and the players given back there items they could allso fix some of the damn bugs and add allot of new weapons/items into the game right now dayz is very stale compared to what it once was the introducting of moding could breath life back into it imagine a dayz with 100s of diferent weapons where most of the bugs are actualy fixed where hacking is a none issue where people can create there own charecter models/clothes whre ghosting and altf4ing isent a issue where people can actualy build bases/forts in the knolage that it wount be nuked where zombies only die by explosions and headshots where zombies are slow but completly relentless and abel to kill you much more easyly with more enterable buldings and a extended map or even seperate ones like in lingor island with added features like weapons degrading with a crafting system similar to fallout crafting ammo food meds etc i think that would just be god damn amazing and i dont think its a fairy tale ether i dont see why this cant be done can you imagine a dayz developed by not one person but 1000s of people i realise after re reading this that my post kind of comes of a bit dickish toward rocket i respect what he has done i could never manage what he has done but i think he has handeled allot of things in this game porely and i think the comunity could improve dayz significantly

DayZ is basically the only game I play at the moment, but I'm starting to get sick of it. It's boring that the AS50 is so common, combat logging, ghosting, hackers and that almost every single fucking vehicle is stashed off the map and never see any use. At this point it's more or less just a slow-paced deathmatch for me, as some other players have put it. I started fresh on a private hive yesterday. It's been a positive experience so far. Vehicles are actually used in the gameplay, because any off map vehicles are deleted, rare weapons actually seem to be rare and it's fun actually having to gear up again (on the public hive we have the best stuff in the game in duping tents, so it's pointless to gear up there). Have you tried to set video memory to default? That solves the graphic glitches for me and some of my friends at least.

Only if you have concrete proof/evidence. You are not permitted to ban for suspected cheats or exploits of a non-server-disruptive nature, including but not limited to ghosting, unverified cheating, duping and similar, UNLESS you have solid evidence, IE logs.

What I don't understand about the admins is... if you know they are ghosting, and you know they are alt-f4'ing, why you don't just ban the players that are doing that? I only ask out of curiousity, not out of ill intent.

I agree with most of what you said, and even recagnized that this aspect of the game was largley gone at this point. Before there was so much meta content, the game loot economy was F*d, and hackers were everywhere there was that feeling that you were trying to survive and it wasn't that easy to thrive. When people shot/robbed you didn't think they were out to pvp, you thought they were out for food/gear, and most of the time they actually were. I think fixing some of the base issues that lead to anti social behviour would go alot longer than trying to provide rewards to players that do act in a social manner. Add more content so people have things to do, let people win back areas, fix ghosting/altf4, go private hives or severs that only allow linked IG travel, etc. This would increase the community feel, and also provide things to do, and I'm sure once the hacks are gone and some of the other pending zombie games come out the non sim fans will leave for something else.

Solution: Get on a server with private single-server hive People can Alt+F4, yes, but when they come back into the game you KNOW where they spawn, and they are in the game and killable before they can react never saw an Alt+F4er on De85 private, just as i never saw anyone obviously hacking, and ghosting isn't even possible I like private hive servers

http://dayzmod.com/f...-hosting-rules/ "You are not permitted to ban for suspected cheats or exploits of a non-server-disruptive nature, including but not limited to ghosting, unverified cheating, duping and similar, UNLESS you have solid evidence, IE logs." Point proven. Rules say nothing about using an RCON to host and control your servers from. If you can link me to where it says that RCON is against the rules, do tell.

As it should be clear for everyone, exploting the game (ghosting, ServerHoppiong) is forbidden by DayZ Staff (Got no original quote atm) If you have a prove, you are allowed to ban for it ! Nothing wrong in this thread and of this ServerAdmin. His goal is to create a Server as rocket imagines "I want to ban for exploits, but I really want to be sure. Is there any way to get prove it? i.e. logs?" And now ppl shitstorm on him for not banning w/o evidence and asking for ways to get evidence wtf is this

A bit of exposition for you before you watch the video; Logged in on the SW tip of Skalisty Island and surveyed the "colony" set up on US 1040, run by Swift Gaming, and started to unload some AS-50 onto their chopper on the hill. Then as I'm about to go down to check their tents out I see a guy log in right behind the barbed wire and as he does I get kicked from the game with the message "Ghosting all the time." BEFORE YOU ASK: The AS-50 TWS I have I found shortly before going to the island... As per Rocket, it is allowed (but maybe discouraged) to pick up hacked weapons as long as you had no part in spawning them. Usually, I wouldn't take any weapon I knew was not allowed, but for this occasion I had no qualms since this server is known for constant restarts and constant unfair bans. It's not the focus of the video so focus more on the douches running the server than my gun.

11/e says you can, it even specifically mentions ghosting, providing you have the logs to back up your actions. Rule 11 paragraph 5 seems to be causing a lot of bother because its a catch all and it seems people don't bother to read it properly. It's not a very well written rule that's for sure but there it is.

That´s a pretty good suggestion, if they made it so everytime you log in you have to choose one of thoose cities.this would prevent the ghosting and spread out the starting action to a few of the bigger cities instead of just electro and cherno. Would also let you be able to meet your friends a little bit easier. Spawn points in thoose cities should be plenty tho so you never know where in the area you spawn. It would also prevent the server hopping between military spawns and make the military loot a little more inaccessable.
