Can Server's See Deathlogs? [MilitaryHardware]

[bloodiedsimper 16]

I got killed by a hacker... I showed the admins the video and they thought it was valid proof HOWEVER they said

they can't do anything because they don't know the name to the hacker.. Wtf?

So basically the server is defenseless against hackers.

But that may not be entirely true... See as soon as I said that I was killed by a hacker and had footage to prove so

this guy whom we will call "Cockjuggler" got on my case about it... He instantly flamed me and belittled me for hackusating.

He kept bugging me for evidence which I eventually got uploaded as you can tell, and he got all involved in the case and he wasn't even an admin so I will just go and assume he's begging the admins to not ban. He kept going into support channels on TS

 

I had a discussion with an admin (SMILEY IS ME):

<01:29:08> "Smiley": I have a video I would like to discuss with you regarding a potential hacker
<01:29:16> "Grim[Admin]": Listen
<01:29:17> "Grim[Admin]": I saw it
<01:29:29> "Smiley": I got shot from outside first, right? 2. Then I run in still getting shot at. 3. I get in the stairway... SHot at. I hear no movement and see no one up stairs so that scratches that off. 4. I run back into the main part of firehouse and die.
<01:29:46> "Grim[Admin]": I saw it
<01:29:46> "Smiley": How could you explain that?
<01:29:48> "Grim[Admin]": but you didn't give names ( This server doesn't show names so it's not like I would have been able to say "Hey hacker tell me your name so I can get you banned from this server" )
<01:30:15> "Smiley": I know admins can see the name of someone who killed someone
<01:30:27> "Grim[Admin]": We cant
<01:30:29> "Grim[Admin]": we dont have logs
<01:30:52> "Smiley": But it as at least valid evidence if I were to have had that person's name, right?
<01:32:12> "Grim[Admin]": Yes
<01:33:51>  Chat partner has closed the conversation
<01:34:07> "Smiley": See here's the thing I take issue with... Why can't you see deathlogs?
<01:34:14> "Grim[Admin]": Because im not the owner
<01:34:15> "Grim[Admin]": ROFL
<01:34:16> "Smiley": That's complete proof against hackers
<01:34:25> "Smiley": And the ability to not see it just seems absurd
<01:35:01> "Smiley": Personally I am not a server owner but if I were to get... Say.. A professional opinion on how servers work
<01:35:10> "Smiley": What would taht do
<01:35:10>  Chat partner has closed the conversation

( Admin Goes Into My Channel And Yells At Me For Spamming Him Saying They Can't Do Anything About It )
<01:36:33> "Smiley": Hey well maybe if you guys took me seriously 2 hours ago when I posted the video before restart
<01:36:38> "Smiley": Maybe you would have caught the hacker
<01:43:27> "Smiley": I also got a pitch for you... Why was JAYSON so involved in this hacker case? He kept going into support channels and he seemed so interested into the hacking case. It's because he's sucking your dicks off and you don't want to ban him? That's a stretch but the evidence is there. Sorry bro evidence talks.
<01:43:38> "Grim[Admin]": Jayson doesn't cheat
<01:43:42> "Grim[Admin]": turn your mic on
<01:43:44> "Grim[Admin]": and take off away
<01:43:46> "Grim[Admin]": so I can talk to you
<01:44:03> "Smiley": Well unfortunately mic input is broken so I can't really use a mic <------- I said this only to keep the conversation in chat so I could screencap anything the admin said.
<01:44:10> "Grim[Admin]": ROFL
<01:44:12> "Grim[Admin]": excuses
<01:44:15> "Smiley": Ok...
<01:44:19> "Smiley": Yeah I guess
<01:44:22> "Grim[Admin]": Do me a favour
<01:44:23> "Smiley": Why are you belittling me?
<01:44:29> "Grim[Admin]": before you bitch at some of the servers biggest supporters
<01:44:31> "Grim[Admin]": and the admin <-----------------------Dude told me earlier he wasn't an admin.
<01:44:33> "Smiley": Are you supposed to be a admin?
<01:44:34> "Smiley": Oooh
<01:44:35> "Grim[Admin]": I am an admin
<01:44:38> "Grim[Admin]": Jayson is a donator
<01:44:38> "Smiley": That makes sense
<01:44:43> "Grim[Admin]": he does not cheat
<01:44:48> "Grim[Admin]": he also does not have op donor perks
<01:44:50> "Grim[Admin]": he is a good player
<01:44:52> "Grim[Admin]": you got outplayed
<01:44:53> "Grim[Admin]": enough said
<01:44:57> "Grim[Admin]": no more comments on the matter please and thanks
<01:45:00> "Smiley": Ok thanks
<01:45:02> "Smiley": Good info
<01:45:16> "Grim[Admin]": there's a reason we have anticheat
<01:45:21> "Grim[Admin]": if you cheat you get caught
<01:45:33> "Grim[Admin]": In your video, you ran into a hacker, who is most likely banned
<01:45:37> "Grim[Admin]": but you were also a bambi
<01:46:40> "Smiley": Admin see here's the thing. I got compelling evidence that JAYSON is probably in your inner circle and him being a donor and all so you have to protect him and keep him a satisfied customer. Look I get that... But come on admin if he's hacking you got to at least direct him the other way
<01:47:00> "Smiley": And I don't see how me being a bambi makes my argument less valid
<01:47:03> "Grim[Admin]": No
<01:47:05> "Grim[Admin]": You're retarded
<01:47:10> "Grim[Admin]": If he actually cheated
<01:47:14> "Grim[Admin]": We'd take his donor perks
<01:47:40> "Smiley": see admin I cant take your word for that.
<01:47:55> "Grim[Admin]": I can just ban you and not deal with you anymore
<01:47:57> "Grim[Admin]": BEcause you're annoying
<01:48:14> "Smiley": Well you can do that I don't have any further plans on playing on your server, you'd be happy to know.
<01:48:17> "Smiley": But let me talk first
<01:49:20> "Smiley": See JAYSON was up my ass about that hacking case. He was insulting me and belittling me in every way possible... Just for me saying I had evidence against a hacker... Not even pointing a finger at him he started to just bash me in every angle he could.

 

[ I was banned before I could finish ] If you think I actually spent time on writing all that down for the sake of a professional opinion I will screen cap it tomorrow...

 

TL;DR : Admin defends a hacking donor on his server.

Everything is logged, you just got unlucky and found a shit server.

 

Any decent server admin would give you your gear back and move you to the location you died, us admins can't stop attacks from happening but we do have the ability to put things right :)

Find another server and put it down to experience.

[Statik (DayZ) 2695]

Goodness gracious. The admin handled that like a pro.

[Planet-Dead 10]

Yeah that server is garbage. I suggest you find a server that actually cares about its player base and not the donations.

[fluxley 2228]

Yup, its easy for an admin to tell who killed who, logs also show time of death, weapon used and distance of shot.

 

From that text it sure looks like a case of a shitty admin protecting a donator. 

 

I say put all the evidence you have on here and name and shame, you never know maybe a senior admin of the server will see this thread and actually do something about it. at the very least it would serve as a warning to other players.
