Seattle 57 (=HOG=), strange kicking and banning of players

[aquilez 16]

Me and my clan mates just got into this server a couple hours ago and just this past hour we started receiving kicks for all of us, one by one. We haven't killed anyone wrongly (If that's even possible), nor DC after getting shot at. Actually, the only real person we came across was killed back in Cherno in a church. He didn't have anything on him but we killed him anyways.

From there we went north in a vehicle we repaired and started looting towns like anyone else would. We probably got individually kicked 4-5 times all together until later when we got banned from the server.

The thing is, no response was given to us regarding why we were kicked so many times. =HOG= members were present during all this and even the admin was as well. What really is frustrating was we worked a lot for a certain vehicle that we found on this server and no where else and we get banned... This would frustrate ANYONE.

I thought this was a server issue first but after the fourth kick something was strange especially considering the admin was on. My clan mate mentioned that other players with clan tags were also getting kicked but I can't vouch for that because I didn't see it myself.

This happened June 21st, around 6-7 PM EST.

Hey guyz..

I am Antonio's clan member who noticed a few others were getting kicked when we were. I think this admin has decided his server is for =HOG= clan members only. This guy needs to answer for what happened or have his account global banned. We broke absolutley no rules, in any way shape or form. We killed one other player besides the unarmed man in the church, he was a VERY well armed man at the military camp above SS , his name was The Old Man, not sure if he was connected to the banning or not, but after killing him we were continually kicked without reason and finally banned. THis is not Right at all... too much work for the server admin to be able to play GOd .... bullshit in the highest order.

Did you guys see what kick reason was listed? When you get kicked, it should put a reason up on your screen. There are variations to this wording that can indicate whether or not the kick was done manually or not.

It's usually best to come in with a screen shot when making accusations such as this. Were there only =HOG= members online after you were kicked, or at least no one else with tags? This is a pretty significant accusation without a screen shot or something.

Well, we dont have a screen shot but we have members of our team, and when we were kicked and eventually banned we were given absolutley no reason. THis is A VERY serious accusation, and we are trying to address the problem directly with =HOG= (which has and runs the server).

When we were kicked it seemed the admin was kicking clan members and a few others, not sure of why... none of us d/ced the entire time we played together (there were threee of us, one had left to go sleep and two of us were still playing when we were banned). This is an outrage to say the least, and I am not sure what I could give you a screen shot of??? MY you have been banned screen?... we did nothing, we were in a field working on a bus when he banned us....

[aquilez 16]

We aren't paranoid enough to take a screenshot of every kill, the player list, or kicks in cases such as this and I doubt anyone ever does this. The message was just a "You were kicked" a amount of times until the eventual "You were/are banned".

We don't expect to get our ban reversed because if I were that admin, if he did ban us, I wouldn't care. I'm posting this to let others know some of the dangers of joining that specific server.

This is all I can give you and it doesn't say much, it could be a coincidence of having members with no tags on except for theirs but you wanted a screen shot so here it is.

Sounds like you had a bad internet connection to the Seattle server and all of a sudden an admin needs to be globally banned for it? Without a screenshot, some log info or something besides two random people backing up each others story, in the same guild mind you, you have pretty much, nothing.

But hey good luck ranting on the forum.

Here is what proof looks like and I've got a ton of this for these guys, just waiting for the right moment to release it to the admins for a ban

No, that's not how it works Antonio.

No server can just 'Ban' you. They have to remove the ban unless they have a legit reason to ban you or result in their server becoming blacklisted.

Short case, if they are found out they got kicked for kicking other members from their server from clan mates, then banning them- Their server will not reach the hive and be shutdown.

[tophercook 0]

ok.... WE just spoke directly with the clan, and they did not ban us, all things are pointing to a possible hacker on their server...

SIDE NOTE: =HOG= clan was very receptive and understanding of our frustration. They are working on getting us unbanned internally, and mentioned they had suspiciousion of a possible hacker that was on today...

thanks again, to the guyz at =HOG= for their help.

Could be BEC kicking for high ping and then temp banning because you kept coming back?

[tophercook 0]

That is a good idea, but my ping never went above the (listed) 79... antonio was 80ping
