ZedsDeadBaby 2287 Posted July 28, 2012 Title speaks for itself.These administrators are as bad for the DayZ community as any hacker.Clearly the spate of locked servers in the last 24 hours are admins who are trying to lock down control of the helicopters.I don't advocate a permanent blacklist, but maybe a 72 hour black out?At least show them you're paying attention and their abuse isn't going unnoticed. 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

govnogaming 52 Posted July 28, 2012 It's funny - helicopters aren't even in yet. They won't be seeded in until later today or tomorrow. xD 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ZedsDeadBaby 2287 Posted July 28, 2012 (edited) Hey douchebag, are my servers locked?What does that have to do with anything?Just because you aren't personally exploiting doesn't justify an attitude of "let them be" when it comes to the many people who are.I seem to recall you being involved in some recent debates calling for more power to be handed to server admins.And here you are acting like it's no big deal that they flaunt the rules and exploit the system as it stands...Kind of undermines your cause a bit, don't you think?

Never restarted due to a fight. Don't start pointing fingers at me.Go run a sever and have to listen to all you tools and see how much fun it is son.

ratfever 27 Posted July 28, 2012 I agree completely, locked servers are crap, and should be blacklisted. They should be given one 72-hour blacklist as a warning. After that it should be permanent. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sna.ke 43 Posted July 28, 2012 I definitely don't think there should be an auto-ban for locking the server.Sure perhaps if the server is locked for 2 hours, then ban the server from the hive, but an auto-ban? Nope.I don't lock my server, but I understand it can be very useful to do so during a patch given all of the stuff that has to be updated, especially when you're updating manually.Also, for server restarts locking a server 5 minutes before and after restart can be useful. I wonder how many of those 140 servers you counted were locked for some similar reasons. I understand there are clans locking servers to farm equipment, and that's not cool. But there are legitimate reasons to lock the server, albeit for short periods of time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gerow1337@hotmail.com 27 Posted July 28, 2012 lol@ abusive admins voting no. its been a proven fact that if your an admin you can do what ever you want in your server as long as you dont kill a dayz dev member. They have set rules for all servers or they will be black listed but when you show a dev proof they do nothing because they dont play on that server. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jonesyx@gmail.com 19 Posted July 29, 2012 I have my server set to lock for the 5 minute period directly before a server restart to prevent players losing progress. I imagine some server admins do the same thing. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
