Are Server Admins still Abusive?

[ZombieNation2012 6]

Hello, I have seen alot of recent updates to the mod and want to return, but I had stopped playing because I was getting booted by mods/admins for having "suspicious loot".

 

My tactics were simple, watch 2 or 3 guys fight it out, and if the survivor died to a zombie, take all the loot, if I had a gun, and he was a bandit, take him out and take all the loot, or do the dog, and settle for any scraps left for me.

 

I was only able to get this on video once, of the 8 or 9 times it has happened, http://youtu.be/nreZreqHpTc  It is very frustrating to bust your back side attempting to survive the end of the world, only to have a power drunk admin not like the fact you have more guns than other players.  Surely the Admins of those servers can see I have no illegal scripts running, yes?  

 

I am basically looking to know from the community if this is a common issue? or did I just had some bad luck with some poor Admins?

 

 

Thanks.  Cant wait for the SA, just unsure if I want to reinstall all the GB's to be kicked when I steal my first AR :(

Hi,

I have played on many servers, and have seen a fair share of abusive admins in the past, i have also seen the outright stupid ones that don't know a single thing about running a server yet alone playing the game... I think whoever kicked you in that video is one of those 12 year old squeakers, that in my opinion should be banned from having anything to do with "server administration"

I have also found very many servers in which the admins were very active, SMART, knew enough about the game and mod to make a fair judgement of what is legit and what is not and i had great fun on servers like this, with no issues at all to do with the admins.

So i would say the majority of server admins out there do a great job in 'admining' their server(s), but then there are those few pre-pubescent little kids that like to play around with the tools they are given, giving all those other admins a bad name and rep.

Due to the fact very many private hive servers have 3rd party tools to admin their servers. (They can do a lot of game breaking things) my best advice is to find a good official server with a steady playerbase and you should be all good :)

Good luck

You read horror stories still, so the answer would be yes.
