Server GJ1 - admin abuse

Recommended Posts

Abusive admins on server GJ1 restarted the server today, July 2nd at around 3AM CET, while three of us where driving around the NW airport and stopped at the west barracks. They restarted the server, set it to expert (no 3D), switched from night to daylight, spawned right on us after the server came back up, killed us and stole our vehicle.

It was blatantly evident it was an admin abuse, because the only people left on the server (after we came back) were these two (one admin named Flipflop and another one called Ginge) and the three of us (H, O'nil and Shrooms). Before the forced restart there was noone at that location. By changing the server rules (especially turning to daylight and no-3D) and spawning right outside the barracks they evidently abused admin privileges (in other words cheated) with the intention to steal the vehicle (a white pickup truck).

I don't know if anything can be done regarding the issue, but I felt like writing it down and posting on the forums about the actions taken by the admins, so other players can steer clear from these two and avoid the server GJ1.

Server Name: DayZ - GJ1 (1.7.1.5/94364) (Mercenary|3D:ON|CH:ON) dayzmod.com - hostet by ViLAYER.com

IP: 94.242.227.82:2362

This server literally goes online and offline based on admin availability, and the server settings are changed constantly. However, I don't think any of this is against the rules - though I will say that the server is at the very least "fishy".

Please remember that admins do not have the ability to teleport. (Or atleast shouldn't.) I do not think there is a rule for changing timezones to change the day/night cycle permanently as some US Servers do this. Also what is '3d'? I see no problem with them turning it to expert. Am I missing something?

Also, since this is an Admin Abuse I would of moved it to Server General but the teleporting is questionable so I will leave it.

Sry guys, im totally new to the arma2 server controls and the vilayer acp is a little bit hard to understand for me, for a few dayz ( hehe lol ) there was no way to change the timezone, but now u can change the timezone every 24 hours ( so no1 can abuse it ), but it was a little bit buggy. I put the server on 06:00 PM and every restart it sets the servertime again on 06:00 PM. ( I was checking why i cant set mercenary mode with 3rd Person View or Crosshair on ( doesnt care if i edit the dayzcfg.cfgdayz.ArmA2OAProfile ) there will no 3rd Person View or Crosshair on it :( so i set it back on Regular

one admin named Flipflop and another one called Ginge ( sry but thats not true, im the only admin on this server )

And i think i can shutdown the server for maintenance, because i was talking with the support team from vilayer to fix this ( maybe some1 can say me how i can use the "adminchat" on the server to warn you if i do this again?

Bumping to also report server abuse. Someone will be along shortly to post a screenshot of him getting kicked from the server after we found and stole a jeep that belonged to one of the server admins.

Unlucky for them, i was a passenger in the jeep at the time and made away with it anyway.

Then, for good measure, i blew it up along with all the stuff inside it too.

Well I didn't get the screenshot in time of me being kicked (in game name - GEORGE) while driving the white Toyota style pickup truck with 10_21. It happened around 22:30 GMT. Is there a way I can get a log file from my PC to show said admin abuse?

03-07-12 23:30~ (GMT+1)

Just to make the digging through the logs easy, Look for when "Tweakie" and "Sas" died

While looting a camp with a White pick-up and 2 buses, just east (Edit:bahhhh west**) of Kamenka, the owners seemed to come back. So one of our guys (George) toke off in the pick-up and was kicked 30 secs later (it is a server showing playertags) luckily he had a passenger who could switch seats and take it out to be destroyed, since we are not gonna bother with this server again, because the Admin is untrustworthy, so just for spite.

The kick did not mention any reason for the kick (IE ping).

Also Mr admin, your direct chat could be heard all over the map the preceding hour.

Yeah was a bit dodgy. George and 10_21 passed me in the jeep in kamenka then george was kicked then the admin came along on a push bike looking for the jeep. no way he would have chased a jeep on a bike unless he expected grorge was alone and the jeep would roll to a stop.

Poor show GJ1 we were having a good time untill the cheating.

At that time I was in range..

I was near to Kamenka, on the west side of Kamenka, north to the street in the forests, the railway bridge was in sight and I saw a pickup, but it drove steady away and didn't stop for a second. I couldn't see if one or two passengers were in the truck.

They say they destroyed the truck but:

I neither heard an explosion nor saw an explosion, after that incident I looked for a wreck/workable white truck but didn't find it.

After that I tried to find this camp, discovered it and waited there.

After 10-15 minutes George and a player named SaS came back and tried to loot the camp again, actually they had Glocks, a bunch of bandages, a watch, a map, a toolbox, etc.

It's impossible that they respawned and instantly found so much gear in that short time. In addition George Patrol Pack had a capacity of -6 (minus six), I've never seen such a bagpack before.

However SaS tried to drive away a bus and George moved to my position, I shot SaS, cause I didn't want him to steal that bus.

But then George was shot by another player, which had an unkown position.

To sum it up:

There was no truck actually.

After their death two guy came immediately back with strong gear. (They didn't tried to respawn at Kamenka on GJ 1, no "xxx was killed" messages)

I think they're just mad, that the owners of the camp interrupted and killed them..

just my 2 cents

/edit:

maybe you were kicked because the admin saw your strange bagpack and thought you were hacking? Just an idea..

WTF, were you doing in the edge off the map, on the south-western border of the map?? Only reason we found out the camp was there, was due to our newbie who had less than 3 hours game time, being lost.

1: Yeah we were mad that he killed us, not angry at him, but at us for taking too long, being too greedy (spent far too long there, we could easily have gotten out multiple times). We reported the server due to the very convenient kick of our driver on a server where the Player name shows up when you hover you mouse over the vehicle.

2: It was me "Tweakie" who came back, 5 minutes later to try and reclaim my body. Got my G17, watch, map, etc etc..(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v4W4MSN73go) back, while "Arcade" tried to sneak up and execute me (he failed) but won the ensuing G17 vs AK battle with me, curse you broken legs.

Others might have come back later on, (wouldn't know since I went to bed

3: Why would he kick a random player, who just happen to be driving in a pickup truck, how would he even know his backpack was "Strange", that is just a helluva coincident. (BTW it is a bug, http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/595849335305619116/6D50D3930D145F1215F117A0451904FE1D4E5E21/ the MP5SD isn't there, and isn't actually taking up space. It is to be fixed next time you log in, and only other players can see the "wrong" number, not the owner)

4: "(They didn't tried to respawn at Kamenka on GJ 1, no "xxx was killed" messages)" I guess you didn't notice my 3 repawns?... all in all, I don't find you to be all that credible.

Maybe you are just the admin, trying to cover his bad behaviour with a freshly made forum account, just an idea.

Hopefully 10_21 toke a screenshot of the destroyed pick-up, just to make this git bugger off.

i dont know what ur talking about, there was no kick against u or whoever ( server.log, ARMA2OASERVER.RPT, etc. can proof it ) and i think u r mad, too. Because u lost all your gear ( 2 nightvisions, 1 was from our camp - 2 busses, 1 bike - M107 + mags, M249, GPS )

if any admin or moderator from the dayzteam want a log, i get send him ( write pm or something )

And u having no screenshot for your kick, so everyone can come with his mates and can say "i getting kicked" ( example: my old post against RU12 and may other threads here, without any evidence screenshot )

no screenshot, no win

Sure sure. Point is, let people know that it is a bad server, and at some point when somebody does remember to get a screenshot or lucky enough to record it...there is enough suspicion, that you can't edit the logs to get around it.

That, or you can just run a clean server.

And FFS fix your Direct chat... do you know how annoying it is to have somebody talking foreign language while you are raiding choppers/his camp.

my server is from vilayer.com and there is no option to re-install it or delete the log files, so deal with it or go on another server, there are so many servers, dont know why u want to blame my server....

We already have gone to another server. And we blame your server (actually we blame the Admin), for the most convenient timed kick on somebody making it off with his Pickup truck.

If at ANY point in the 1½+ hours we were on the server, any one of our 6 players had been kick or DC'ed...maybe I would believe you. But as soon as he is driving off with the truck...Timing too fucking good.

Before the last vehicle/tent update, we had a regular server in which we had great battles with a group of Russians, lost great loot/ATVs to them..But worst they did was server hopping/Alt-F4, so we had no problems staying. Player exploiting mechanics, can't be helped...Admins abusing powers, can be help (yeah yeah blah blah, "I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING" etc etc and whatnots).

FYI:

I never said that you weren't trying to respawn in Kamenka.

I said George and SaS were immediately back at this camp.

I'm not an admin on this server, the only admin I've ever seen is snajdan himself, he's the owner and I think there are no other admins.

Last but not least: I like this server and I looted some camps in the past and wasn't kicked since the first connect..

Since we werent able to get screenshots (sorry for not hovering over my print screen 24/7, i dont normally expect admin abuse), i guess that we are nothing but angry over losing our stuff. Despite the fact that we've all been killed with high quality loot several times before, as im sure nearly all players have, us coming here to complain for this one server is unjustified.

When George ran over one of your friends with the pickup truck, he got his name, he gave it to you and you kicked him out of the server so that your pickup truck wouldnt drive far.

Feel free to provide the log, the kick happened, i was in the truck at the time and it started spazzing out because george got kicked. I guess as usual nothing will be done about it, but one day someone will be more alert than us and catch you abusing admin.

Thats right, me and sas did go back, unarmed to steal the two busses that were left and got shot by a guy inbetween the busses and a sniper further up on the hill. (NS BTW)

I wasn't fast enough to get a screenshot of the kick, my screenshot turned out to be the server browser screen which show in the background your last position so in this case it shows the back of the truck, However...

Untill I check my log I can't say for certain what happened. All I can do just now is give you the facts. The facts are:

SaS got shot.

I (George) ran over Tweakie in the pickup whilst making my escape.

I made it to the road where I ran over a guy who was lying by the road shooing at me.

Then I get told that there's a guy on a bike chasing the jeep.

I then pickup 10_21

Next thing I get the ''You were kicked from server'' message no reason given on my screen or on the server chat at the bottom left.

10_21 then takes the driving seat and promtly escapes with the truck and destroys it.

I instantly rejoined and unfortunately I spawned in on the road right next to the guy on the bicycle, I got that switch weapon when you join a server nonesence bug which resulted in my death.

Tweakie then has some manual respawns to get a spawn at kamenka. He returns but was killed while getting the loot back.

Right after that the buses got moved up the hill slightly and thats when me and SaS went in to steal them.

I'll see what my log says later when I get time to check it before I declare SHINANIGANS.
