Hackers vs Abusive Admins

[BTT` 15]

A comment one of my gaming community members made drove me here to start this topic. His comment was " I would rather deal with abusive admins then hackers at this point"

I couldn't agree with him more. And I come here to plea for more tools for the admins of servers to help combat the rampant hacking. We have had a sever for just over a month now. The last two nights we have had people join or TS who were playing on our server to report hackers. This is a first for us and it seems to drive the point home for me that hacking is getting out of control. Being a veteran setting server the three people that came in were unable to provide names. The admins really have their hands tied and were unable to provide much help. The server was shut down for a little bit last night since that seems to be the only "tool" a server admin has at the moment to stop the hacking.

We are spreading the word of this thread http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/39648-spread-the-word-hacker-awareness/ but our admins are working men with families and they can not spend their days looking through huge data files recorded on the server.

I only know through hearsay, but I think Rocket and the Devs have tried to limit the control admins have over their server to help curb abusive admins. This may be working as intended but I think a slide effect of this is the rampant hacking. Adding the mod is based on a game that is built to allow players to change things with scripts I feel it is a time for a change of direction in this experiment and see what happens when some trust is given to the people who pay for the servers.

I for one can avoid a server run by bad admins far easier then can I avoid the guy who hacks in his own chopper or teleports me to a building to be shot on any given server at any given time. Yes there will be abusive admins but at least we all have a chance to find out the name of the bad server.....good luck trying to get all the names of all the hackers!!! Plus we can easily gather the names of good servers.

Thoughts?

You can disregard my thoughts because I keep looking away from your paragraph to go "woah, boobs."

Have a friendly topic bump though.
