LU183 - Admin Camp being raided? No Problem - SERVER SHUTDOWN

[Richizu 0]

Hey guys,

Here is a story about what happened on the server LU183

After around 30mins of running around having a good time, we stumbled across what looked like a camp. Overjoyed as we were, we promptly started looting the tents/vehicles that had been setup there.

After 10 mins of sitting there we heard the rumble of a nearby truck which was speeding towards the camp. My buddy was in an awful position and got taken out with ease, this however was not the issue.

He obviously realized that the camp was being raided (as his truck came under fire) he shut down the server to preserve what was left of his precious loot. I have been refreshing the server for a good 30mins at this point, so i doubt it will be up again until his buddies are ready to log on and move the camp to another location without any threat. Which in my opinion is complete BS.

I'll state that by this time there were only 4 people on the server, 3 of whom were in our group. Which leads me to believe that the other person on the server was in fact the server admin.

I'll end this thread by saying that I along with a few buddies currently own and run a successful server and have experienced the destruction of our own camp, which of course is part of the game. We could have easily shut the server down, we were outplayed and they deserved what loot they found. The fact that he SHUT DOWN the server to prevent this from happening to him, is surely admin abuse.

I personally believe that ANY form of admin abuse should be dealt with accordingly.

Thank you for taking the time to read this.

I can't really blame him, since I am sure he over reacted. but it doesn't really matter. you guys know where it is and he will pay the price soon enough, it's not like he will stay on 24/7.

So do you think what he did was acceptable? The only reason why his camp is still there is because he is an admin, and has the power to shut the server down at will. Which surely gives him an unfair advantage over other players?

This completely the wrong attitude. You can and SHOULD blame him, since it was the wrong thing to do. If the admin really did do this, he should no longer be allowed to run a server since this is abuse at its finest. And although he knows the location, you can guarantee that the camp will be gone when the server comes back up and moved elsewhere, assuming that it is the reason for the shutdown. Unfortunately, the OP has not provided any hard evidence besides his word to back this up, so I doubt action will be taken.

I'm not expecting anything to happen to the admins of LU183. People just need to be aware of server admins, that abuse their position of power.

Yeah sadly there is no evidence, but what evidence could even be provided? Filter the server list to LU183 or LU(space)183 and you will see its not currently online, but then again that also proves nothing. The only other evidence will be in the server logs i guess.
