Shrapnell 92 Posted March 19, 2013 Lots of servers I join have highly- and I mean highly- abusive admins. One even ADMITTED over side chat he spawns in guns (including DMRs) for himself because 'he paid for the server, so he can do whatever the fuck he wants'. Though he says he doesn't kill players with it, it still means he has a gun he spawned in using his powers which he can use in PVP, if someone were to attack him.Abusive admins are more common than hackers, since they're usually out in the open about it. They don't necessarily hide their actions, they just tell people they can do what they want.This is a problem, as, if a normal player were to kill an abusive admin or owner, that player will probably spend the rest of the day dealing with that butthurt admin or owner using the control panel to track him down and kill him with some freshly spawned firearms.Thoughts? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Personally I love the admins at Balota Buddy.

Our admins dont play the game. We have a dedicated team of admins that take the job as it was meant to be- a job. They do not spend their time looting, but merely sifting through the logs and so on. You burned your copypasta, good sir. Edited March 19, 2013 by Rage VG 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

People have the right to spread the word about their servers, and he is at least taking the time to say something relevant to the thread.

-Gews- 7443 Posted March 19, 2013 I've been somewhat lucky, I've only been in a couple servers where I suspected admins of abuse.The only ArmA/DayZ server I've been in where admins were freely admitting to abuse was "Ultimate-RP Cherno Wasteland #1". Chatting in the Teamspeak about spawning in Scud launchers, teleporting their friends around and generally ruining the game for everyone else. Quit that directly after...

permaphrost 12 Posted March 19, 2013 US 264 admins definitely use hacks to "admin" their servers through esp, teleporting, and gear spawning, while pretending to be the authority and banning anyone with names they dont like, or anyone who uses side chat.

Zionist Wabbit 154 Posted March 19, 2013 Y'know how to deal with them? A) Join a secured public hive B) Join a Whitelist Server ( Usually more mature ) C) Server Hop saying 'Admins a Dick'. If you're not kicked and/or banned, you'll be good...I do not take credit nor hold liability for the last. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BearGravy 53 Posted March 19, 2013 I remember in a private when they were practically new, I go in the apartments of Cherno. Before I knew it someone was right behind it. I scream in direct, "I am friendly I won't hurt you!" Then the server shut down. Not only did the host leave, but he combat logged in a non combat scenario. Or when Taviana was new, in the middle of the town square there were like 10 apaches, if you weren't admin or friend of admin, you would get kicked or banned. They would get in the choppers and fly around looking for anyone playing the game. They would either shoot you in a hellfire, or land and pick you off with a overpowered weapon. I thought bandits were scum, these guys are the epitome of the word. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I guess he did it since I would have a car at that point as I was at a spawn for one, but none were spawning anywhere on a server that's had 7 or 8 players total.
