Stop admin killing joiners

[ideldez 0]

Last day I spent a couple of hours gearing up.

Today I just joined a server (Not saying "Join=Kick" or anything), when I spawned I heard an arrow and the text "You are dead" followed.

Now I lost all my gear and has to start over.

 

I was inside a house, with only 2 players on the server, and I doubt any of them had vision of me.

 

This is bs!

Make admins-killing-joiners script not working, or atleast give the players a warning telling them to leave.

This is not fair *insert sadface*

If you heard an arrow you were just killed by another player, nothing more. I've met and killed and been killed quite a bit on 1-4/40 servers. Head inland is the only way, and even then as long as there are other players on you are at risk of running into each other.

I would like to know where I can find those admin tools as I wasnt privy to anything other than thank you for running a server that you can have no control over. I'm not bitching or griping but my point is admins don't posses these superpowers to kill anyone joining the server unless you were foolish enough to log out in a hot zone and thought you'd be safe logging into a different server.

People think that server owners have the same powers as some did in Private Hive mod servers. Which is about as far from true as it can get..

Really? Some servers do list something like "Don't join. Join = Gear reset and death" - I therfore assumed they could kill players in someway.

Nah that's just a scare tactic used by badmins trying to run a loot farm for their buddies. Only thing admins can do is kick and restart servers. If you see that, you can report the server to their provider because it breaks the ToS. Same if they kick for no reason or restart a server to avoid getting their char killed.

i have to say it took me over an hour last night just to get into a server. The server list is full of password protected servers, and clan servers that have no 'warning' but after you join it they'll kick you straight away. I  got kicked from about 10 servers before finding a 'normal' one without this kind of admin. I asked yesterday about official servers and I think thats important, for BI to provide some official servers we can trust without player admins. As Admin ends up getting almost god mode, been able to kick everyone and steal their items etc. I'm scared to join a low pop server incase the admin is right near me and will kick me and take all my items.
