US 236 Admin Teleporting players and taking weapons

[Hutch (DayZ) 116]

Could be hackers but I got the impression it was the server admin.

There was a server wide announcement for some kind of "thunderdome" then the next thing I knew I was teleported to the NW airfield along with the rest of the server and my weapons were gone.

I got the impression it was planned and organized. If I had any warning I would have logged off.

This sucks bigtime since I was doing well surviving in the north. I had all my nessisary survival gear and have been alive for a record 4 days now.

EDIT: Looks like it's happening on many different servers so I guess it wasn't the server admin.

I've never seen hackers make server wide announcments before.

Now I'm pretty sure it's the admin. The message comes up at login in the lobby. "Welcome to Thunderdome"

Either the admin is doing it or the hackers have changed the MotD

It's called a joker message.

Hackers use a script to change the MoTD.

Happens to me today too, all of a sudden I was teleported to the grassy area of the NOrthern airfield, above Stary, and was pissed! Luckily I logged out in time. Then I logged back in on another server-was in the same grassy location-at least I did have all my gear.

Man this is bullshit, I just played a server and got teleported to some place with everyone else and then got turned into a dog, then chicken. Then back to human and the 'hacker' or whatever the hell is happening spawned helicopters.

Admins can't spawn things or teleport players. Just FYI.
