Question about Ban and Re-purchase

[Ric Flair 2]

First off me and couple friends rent a server for dayz. Since we had countless problems with hackers, and unfortunately they dont seem to be going anywhere, we decided that every Sunday afternoon and wednesday evening we turn off the security and let the hackers have their fun on our server. Surprisinigly enough, we have had less hackers running scripts, etc. during the normal legit hours. Also, so members of our community aren't affected by its impacts, we always do a rollback to right before the anit-hack was turned off. It's kinda like a screwoff three hour event. Anyways, myslef and two other admins, hopped on the server when I thought the BE was disabled and bam injection= global ban = fml. Anyways, now i am not going to purchase keys off any site since they're most likely obtained illegally. Just curious if I repurchase arma2oa on steam on a new account if we can get back to playing?

Now before you go off on your opinions about script kiddies, trust me i hate them too, they have made my life as an admin hell, but me and the admin team were trying to find different ways to combat the scenario and this has been our most effective. Let the bastards have their fun for a short while and make sure no ones expierence is ruined in the progress. Second, if you dislike this approach, you are more than willing to help pay the rent on our server to have a say :)

Thanks.

Hello there

Never use scripts no matter the reason or circumstance.

You can buy new keys but there are things you need to do first otherwise you will still remain GB.

Use google to do some research first.

I wont describe the needed process as I have a rule of thumb not to assist scripters, no matter the reason.

You can still use Steam to launch ArmA 2, you'll just have to deny access to the registry change so Steam won't replace it with the banned key when you do launch it with Steam.
