Dodgy Servers

[Guest]

Hey all, I started this because I believe that there are too many "dodgy servers" being hosted for DayZ, and it's about time that something should be done about it. Maybe a list should be made and sent to some Admins, or people just generally talking about what server they were kicked/banned from because of stupid reasons.

For example, I joined a server today and I got kicked for having a ping over 62! I mean, I could understand getting kicked for a ping of 200+, but 62! I thought that was pretty good. Anyway, I rejoined, and then immediately got banned. I also joined another server and got kicked again, and then I was kicked again.

I'm completely fed up of these "servers" and, to be honest, most of you are probably annoyed. Something should seriously be done about it. Perhaps you guys should post ideas here what should be done, discuss things that should prevent these things from happening or send it to the Admins. It really does annoy me how some people host a "server" but then they kick everybody off it because they don't want people to be on it.

'm sure it isn't just me who gets kicked off these "servers" for no reason though. I bet it has happened to most of you at least once, and you must've been quite annoyed. What do you guys think about these "servers"?

P.S Also, something should be done about those annoying locked "servers". I believe that no server should have the option to be locked, because owning your own little private server to get military-grade equipment, and then finally growing the balls to survive in a world with other people is in fact quite cowardly, and ruins the whole point of the mod.

I agree with admins abusing their power and something should be done. However, locked servers are fair, they pay for the server so they don't get hackers and griefers. Although it gives them the chance to gear up I've done the same thing on a low population server (4 players online) before.

As a server admin myself I feel that we/They are entitled to kick people for any reason I/They see fit. We are the ones who work eral jobs and pay real money for your enjoyment.

Now I dont support kicking of players because you stole from me or killed me. but if your ping is rather high, or if I want to get a clan mamber into the server I will kick you. A ban is rather harsh though..

I understand why people are kicked for high pings, but a ping of 62 isn't high. Also, that is why the game is being ruined for other people who aren't server owners/admins. You would kick a random person out just so a clan member could join the same server. That ruins the game for that one specific person because you have kicked them, for no other reason but to be biased towards people you know and to get them in the game. I respect that server owners pay for the servers to be up, but it isn't right for Admin's/Owners to kick people for what they see fit.

maybe you didnt get baned for that, but because you tried server hopping or something else

logging in in a frequent area can be mistaken by some admins

kicking for a high ping is legit, but 62 ping is not high at all, weird... just avoid that server then, there are far more to go to

i personally never got kicked or banned from a server without reason, so its not that of a big problem to me
