Server's admin rant

[Clint0578 1]

Ok I’m the admin of US344, there is a small group of people that say I’m cheating that play on the server, first is resetting the server, I only try to do this 2-3 a day but sometimes when i reset the server items don’t show back up in the game and I reset it again i guess this bothers people, second the time changer why dose Vilayer include the tool in the control panel if it’s against the rules to changes the servers time zone to keep it daylight I don’t really care to play at night time, these are the initial complaints well night of the 23^rd all hell broke loose on the server about every hour you would be playing and all of sudden you would get teleported in a area and get shot it was nuts. So since these things happened on the server the group that made the initial complaints are pointing their fingers at me saying I’m hacking and cheating, So any other admins input would be grateful ty for taking the time to read my rant.

Server admins do not have the power to spawn gear or teleport.

Server resets appear needed to help with performance (I usualy give survivors 5 min warning before I manually restart)

Hackers are going to come. My server coped a few today, After the 3rd one, We stopped server for an hour. No problem since.

Server admins have been accused of cheating since the dawn of gaming, Regardless of the game. I've experienced it in BF2/BF3. Thankfully not here tho.

The problem is the server admins that restart servers after loosing their gear, Or vehicles or tents. They give the rest of us who are simply renting a server for a stable place to play every day a bad name.

I get killed daily I kid you not. Alot of them are my fault, I can't stay away from the airfield, Or I run into open ground with out checking. Do i reset the server to stop the guy who popped me with a lee enfield from a good distance? No, If i could I'd say to him "Bloody good shot mate, You earnt my coyote backpack with that shot" Sure i'm pissed off I made the rookie mistake and run into the open with out a care, But that's my fault not his.

Basically, Ignore the haters mate. Your not going to please everyone as is always with any position of power.

Run your server clean and fair and those who like it will hang around.

Try to announce server restarts ahead of time. 5 minutes at least.

Don't change the time of day; that's obviously against the rules you agreed to when getting whitelisted.

If a hacker shows up on your server, shut it down for 20 minutes and they will get bored and go some place else.

Ignore assholes who shout at you.

Pretty simple stuff here.

I believe that's a one time setting. For instance, someone from US PST may buy a server located @ US EST... So Vilayer gave them the option to set that server to PST. The setting is not there to change at your every whim... That kind of defeats the purpose of the game.
