Kick = immediate server log-off or not?

[ibluesmani 2]

Hi guys,

 

I just was kicked for shooting a guy (probably one of the admins) and immediately got kicked.

 

I tried to log on to another server and my character was resetted. Seems that afterwards the guy shot me - totally vulnerable.

 

 

So, if you get kicked does your character still remain the 20 or 30 secs on the server or does it get removed immediately as well?

 

 

btw, is there a way (script) so admins get noticed who shot somebody?! There were about 30 other players on the server...

 

 

cheers

Yep, if you're kicked your character will do the log out sit down.

servers that do this NEED to be reported.

Same thing happened to me,shot and killed a player in server and was immediately kicked and server restarted.From now on i will

keep track on the servers i enter and i will report server owners when this happens again.

Hmmm, do you guys know if the server admin has an option to see who killed whom?

In my case I was on a full server, and nobody except me had to "leave" it.

I have been kicked off servers before I even hit the spawn timer. On one occasion, the admin was talking to me and actually said "Look out for that zombie" as i noticed one coming directly from my right. This led me to think that not only could they have the info on the who's killing who, but possibly the ability to see your POV, or the general area you are in.

A Confirm or Deny from a server admin would be greatly appreciated.

I also agree that a thread is needed to report such servers, if you want a private server to be private, set a password.

It will say "You Have been Kicked From The Server" or some sorts but "Server is Full" if its full.

servers cannot be private atm because that violates server rules, report servers that kick people upon joining.

They should change being kicked to an immediate log out of the character. Although this introduces exploits for server admins "kicking" their friends (and themselves?) when they enter combat.

If you get kicked, report the server if you like/can...it´s against the hosting rules

I guess the abuse would more result in admins getting rid of enemies by just kicking them and afterwards killing the "sitting" character which still exists on the server.

 

And regarding that "Look out for that zombie". I also read that some time ago, it's just a server status message.

the abuse/exploit goes both ways. Perhaps a kick results in a message or countdown (10-15 secs) where you can still control your character. where as a traditional combat-log results in the deadly 30 second state.

There is always going to be abusive admins and there is nothing you can do besides report them to their server host.  

 

You might want to check out the "Servers" section of the forum and find one that might suit your needs.

Yeah, for sure there will be abusive admins. I also can live with getting kicked. But loosing my character cause of this behavior - that's a total game breaker.

I run mine on Multiplay and have never seen any such option. Although I have run into hackers with that ability, and if the person will stoop to restarting and kicking upon being killed I wouldn't put hacking past them. :/ Kinda sad that they'd do it on their own server, but its not much different than the behavior you described in your OP.

Hmmm, but where to report it?

 

The server description only says:

 

Aimjunkies.eu - GER - PVE - HIGH LOOT

IP: 193.111.141.24:3002

 

 

No information about provider...

Me and my friends got several servers up, it doesent really cost much to rent one (around 90$ for a month for 40 slot).

But you can`t really do much besides Kicking, restarting and shutting down the server.

We dont have any abilities as watching other peoples view, we cant get up players names etc.

But what we can do, is spotting people, get close and try to chat with them and if they answer - Well, then we got their names! (Then we know who to kick, if we like)
Or you can actually run around with food or drinks in you hand and point it on people, are you close enough you will get their names up.

Or simply just kick everyone on the server, they will sit down for 10-15 sec, so you have plenty enough time to do a headshot and then go loot.
