Do not play on TPG private hive NY - BADMINS

[kevinwebb94@gmail.com 12]

Long story short, me and 3 friends were playing this Chernarus server for a number of hours. We had acquired a UAZ and earlier had killed 2 admins for their top tier gear (both had AS50's with 4 mags, likely spawned in) but that wasn't what earned us the ban.

We were driving around in the woods a round NEAF with the intent of looking for hidden vehicles or tents. after about 20 minutes of snooping about, we find a small grouping of tents that have some random items in them, nothing of high value.

Then all of a sudden all four of us were banned - admin ban - maphacks.

apparently we had found the admins' camp, but we never saw a player. So how did they know we were there? Abuse of powers most likely, as well as being a BADMIN.

Thanks for the report but you should post this on the private hive section of the forums if you want to get the most relevant exposure.

Moved.

I used to be in TPG, and most of them were a great bunch of guys. And had you found their camp, you'd have known it. There's so many of them, and based on how they play, you'd find like 20 tents stock full.

And you are a low-count poster, so you've like 0 credibility.

i played on their private hive based in chicago, and i found one of their camps that had a uaz in it, i looted it and marked it on the map cus they were already being dicks earlier, then they banned me too

basically, never use a tpg hive

They banned me for finding their camp as well.

we definitely appreciate you posting on our forums about the bans before you came here and just started accusing us of 1) banning for no reason (unless you count 'finding an admin camp' a reason - which we don't) and 2) spawning in gear (which we ABSOLUTELY do not do).

oh, wait. you didn't.

we pride ourselves in running a tightly-administrated, fair and friendly place to play. most of our kicks and many of our bans are automated (map-hacks, for example are sometimes auto-banned) thanks in large part to the anti-hack efforts of many people not involved with our clan, though our admins are very active both as players and from a ban/kick persepctive.

although i'm sure you couldn't care less at this point, i invite you to pelase post on our forums with your ingame name, guid, ip and rough date and time the ban, along with a brief description of what happened.

i'd be happy to look into it for you.

i can assure you, depsite what it might seem, that no one has EVER been banned for 1) killing us 2) stealing our stuff 3) finding our camps or 4) marking, telling or otherwise broadcasting anything located on our server - UNLESS THEY WERE HACKING TO DO IT.

there is, however, the distinct possibility that one of our admins was watching what you were doing - be it through gCam or just our admin tool(s) - and believed you were using map hacks or something similar. we are, of course, human and therefore prone to errors. that's why we have a bans appeal section on our forums.

ask around - we've unbanned plenty of folks who were accidentally or erroneously banned.

after all, our main goal is to provide the most fair and 'realistic' dayz experience we can.
