US1917 Admin Abuse [Have gotten several reports]

[Silenus01 3]

I blew up their van and was kicked by the admin Brett for blowing up their vehicle he then said he could do that and was recording me. I anticipate them posting the recordings. His justification was I was given a hacked weapon, I don't know if that's true or not, but I can throw the weapon away if it was.

He went to check logs and immediately banned me after he realized I blew up his vehicle. He banned 2 other players before that for taking his vehicle as well.

There are multiple reports of the admins "Main User" and "Brett" kicking and banning people for killing them, or taking their things. Here is another user who was banned for taking their vehicle http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/63219-us1917-admin-kicking-after-killing-them-adminbrettwig33/

He had threatened to ban anyone who touched his vehicle while in TS, and had known that I had the weapon on me prior to grouping up with me, I did not know the weapon was hacked, I do not play this game that often and know very little of what spawns where or how. I was given it by someone who helped me from the Reddit Rescue Squad and he told me it was ok.

Anyway, the summation of this is that Brett kicked and banned me after going through his logs to prove I blew up his vehicle (they have at least 4 vehicles admittedly) and then justified it afterwards by saying it was because of the weapon that he did that. He played with me for over an hour prior to that and knew about that because he checks the logs. He also restarted the server 3 times to make sure that there were not a lot of people in the server and to get all his vehicles back at his base. I have no issues in battleeye and would drop the weapon now that I know it is an issue, I do not wish to engage in helping hackers.

I am willing to post screen shots of my ARMA 2 folder to show I have no scripts or join any battleeye server, I've survived 6-7 days with this character and if I was a hacker I can say it would have probably been an easier few days since I walked everywhere and never had use of a vehicle.

He made several threats to ban me server wide. My point here is even if the weapons were hacked, when/if you are on a server with someone and they give tons of people hacked items, would you then have to kick ban every one of those players, even if they didn't know they had been using items that are out of the game.

Here are some of the logs where he messaged me:

<02:32:57> "Brett": sending your ip and guid to our joint servers. enjoy multi server ban

<02:33:06> "George": For what

<02:33:13> "George": What proof do you have I did anything

<02:33:30> "George": Other than blew up your vehcile

<02:34:21> "Brett": you have a hacked item you may have received it from someone but you are a suspected hacker. enjoy the ban. this is what happens in life when you become an asshole. enjoy the banz :D (This is him referencing that I blew up his vehicle and this is why he is evoking the ban now)

<02:35:33> "Brett": You done whining about being banned bro?

<02:37:28> "George": The guy zekial told me you banned him for taking your vehciles

<02:43:52> "Brett": any other game i spend money on a server i can do what i want with it. DayZ on the other hand I am powerless to do what I want and I have to cater to little assholes like yourself. Understand that you reporting my server is not an issue to me. In the rare case I lose the server I will sit back and laugh and play on someone else's dime like you do.

I gave them a link to this to give them a chance to argue against it, but until then I say it's admin abuse.

Banned for hacked items. End of story.

[Silenus01 3]

The admin played for over an hours with me and then evoked the ban after I destroyed his vehicle, he knew what everyone in the server had because he checked logs using RCON commands to see what everyone was carrying. He was ok with whatever weapons I had on me and didn't demand I drop them or kick/ban me until I destroyed his vehicle. During the time I played with him I heard him say he would ban others if they used his vehicle or touched it. He server restarted 3 times to get people out of the server and make sure his base was ok as well.

[1917Admin 9]

Another member vouched for you and it was a mistake that I didn't ban you. I just set down core rules to the server that include things like banning hackers and hoarders. While our server is not perfect it is 2 days old and things are changing. Once again I take full responsibility for not banning you from the beginning. You can rest assured that anyone coming on the server with hacked items will be banned as soon as I am made aware of it.

I did not say I would ban someone if they touched a vehicle. The server was also not restarted 3 times because we were worried someone was in our camp. 1 - was a scheduled restart and the 2nd was because vehicles weren't showing up after the restart.

Take care!

The above is false, you knew what weapons I had and so did he. You had a 4 hour window or greater to ban me, instead you continued to play and were ok with me being on your server. Immediately afterward of destroying your vehicle I got a message and kicked banned because of and it was blank. It appears you kicked someone else for killing you, Main User, and banned them as well. Not very fair behavior if you pack up your toys and throw everyone out who doesn't play the way you want. You restarted because you thought "Zekial" stole your vehicles, and you banned him for believing he stole your vehicles.

The heart of it is, I was roleplaying a character and created some chaos. You got mad and banned me, you've done it to others.

First off... I am the only Admin. Secondly.. I knew what weapons you had I just said that. For the other instance of 'server abuse' you can read here.

At the base of it you are upset because I kick and banned you for hacked items, which you are not denying, but I should have kicked you earlier. I will be doing this for now on please look at the core rules section I wrote about above.

Hacked Items:

Sure sounds like you have been caught out and the admin was giving you a break at his pleasure. Be on your way peasant.

[Harlreddit 5]

This looks familiar.....

[1917Admin 9]

Yeah.... I bet it does... I linked to it in the second post....

The server is two days old and we have 3 bans already.

1 from a guy who was upset that we were trying to figure out what a hacker did who then proceeded to flood the server with connection requests and was eventually voted off the island.

2 a guy who OP was in contact with who had hacked items

3 OP who had hacked items.

[Silenus01 3]

Yeah I didn't hack items that were in that picture, I sent you that screenshot when you asked about my items trying to help you identify if there were hackers. If you recall I helped you identify and ban 2 hackers one under the name Chris and one under the name Zach, which is where the weapons came from. If I was a hacker why would I send you my own screenshot. I didn't run any kind of illegal programs and you played with me for well over 4 hours before you banned me knowing that that weapon was with me, you told me in TS that it was ok and you weren't going to do anything about it, you can deny that now though because you told me you would when you kick/banned me. You banned me less than 2 mins after you car exploded, I blew up your car and you disconnected immediately, telling me you were checking the server logs to see who did it to ban them, then I was kicked and banned. You made a strong point that it was "George's grenade that blew up your car", note it was a frag grenade I threw under it to test if what you said about banning people was correct, and it was.

As for being peasant scum, I submitted that image, I didn't get "caught" doing anything because I did nothing wrong. The admin has been abusing his rights. The guy above me who was banned I heard them say was banned for stealing their things and killing them, they said this and banned him while I was in game while they joked about sending him the "voted off the lsland ban" which was for killing Main User and taking his V35. I wouldn't call too many people peasant without knowing all the facts.

He threatened to post my IP and GUID on 4chan of all places. I was also told if I pistol dueled him he would unban me.

There's even the rule that server admins can't ban for suspected hacking. There's no proof that OP hacked the items in. Therfor he cannot be banned.

[Silenus01 3]

I'm recording him on TS at the moment where he said he is banning another player who took at shot at them because he said there "is no way a player teleported in behind them and took shots at them without hacking". The admin just bans people once things don't go his way.

There's a rule OH MY GOD! Admin go and punch yourself in the face immediately, how dare you kick or ban someone from a server YOU pay for.

[1917Admin 9]

Really now? Have a link? Regardless he had hacked items and this passed the threshold.of suspicion.

[Silenus01 3]

How are an admin breaking rules on something he pays for which is attached to the rules of a greater hive ok.

Again in regards to his above comments, he had no issue with the items 2 hours when we played.

While I've listened to them in TS the admin as threatened to ban 2 people because they took shots at his group.

Negative Negative Negative. Proof is requested upon every ban. :D

I was mocking you dimwit.

[Silenus01 3]

No I understood you mocking me, but I just think your point is wrong.

[1917Admin 9]

This kid is basically stalking me and a group of my friends on teamspeak. He'll be banned when they come back but until then he's just a slight nuisance.

[Haliber 15]

Trash server is trash.

I'm surprised it isn't passworded to be honest. Well I suppose there wouldn't be any fresh spawns for him to run over in his shiny vehicles.

I'm recording their TS and idling while I get some other stuff done.

[Gogster (DayZ) 626]

No I understood you mocking me, but I just think your point is wrong.

And I think you're wrong. Personally until an admin can check the logs and see whether you scripted the weapons in, I'd kick you off too.

You don't need a password when you can reset your server so many times to keep a max of 4 players on it.

[Silenus01 3]

He didn't stop the server to see if I scripted the weapons, he disconnected and checked the logs to see who blew up his vehicle. I sent him the picture with the weapon and he said that was ok for me to have on his server since I didn't bring it in myself.

[1917Admin 9]

.... There hasn't been a server restart since 4am this morning. There are currently 6 people online. It is early in the morning and there are not many players. The team that is playing on the server are mainly UK. Have a good one.
