I kind of understand abusive admins...certain ones at least

[Slyguy65 499]

For example admins that exploit to save their camp or gear or ban someone who finds their camp....i mean if you think about it a lot of people are paying 50 bucks or so a month just to keep a server up...to call it their server...and then we have some random douchebag who just wants to fuck up a camp...or some random player who just stumbles upon it and find all their stuff. They then get banned for finding it or taking stuff or idk something (killing an admin...meh kicking from getting killed is pathetic)

Just saying their are plenty of servers....so what you get banned or kicked from out ...there are thousands....they just want to enjoy what they payed for (a server they can call home or base or w/e) I mean they pay for it you don't sooo i get where theyre coming from.

P.S No...im not an admin just saying.

[Inception. 9443]

It's their choice to spend the money to put up the server. They don't have to. In fact, admins who kick/ban those who do something negative towards the admin, shouldn't be admin at all.

There are plenty of servers with good admins. Fuck the bad ones.

That's no excuse. There are strict rules for server admins that aren't hard to follow. Kicking people, banning people, resetting the server all for the sake of your camp is complete abuse of the system. I have the right to blow up your camp if I want to. I have the right to take all your shit if I find it. What makes you think it's okay for admins to take all the work I put into finding their camp and moving everything into a getaway vehicle? Why is it that because they're server admins they're suddenly not allowed to have their stuff stolen like everyone else in DayZ?

It's not okay. It never will be. Abusive admins should lose their rights to host DayZ. Plain and simple.

[CerebralZombie (DayZ) 151]

Yeah I wouldn't care if I were kicked or banned from a server due to the amount of servers, although if my crew is in said server then it's be a bit of an annoyance to have to hop to a new one. People can destroy camps all they want, as most of the stuff in those tents are probably duped... An Admin should not ban for that reason.

[HeHeHe 38]

Apparently servers are just these private lobbies?

What if i bid 100$ when the admin pays just 50, do i suddenly control it? Mo money mo controll

STRICT RULES...are never easy to follow once again your not paying the money...its just like torrenting anything everyone is always OH PSSHHH ITS NOT THEFT ITS SHARING....but GDamn watch what happens if they lose something to somebody they put effort into making/earning....just saying i don't think people can empathize well especially when i found out how expensive servers are....

Also 50....fucking....dollars...for a DAYZ server non the less....a month...thats crazy if i DECIDED to spent that amount of cash....i would be an uptight anal admin as well....also the good admins our probably either running their own server on their own machine, not the person who pays for the server...or they are splitting the cost for the server...just sayin.

[zyfer.nyholm@gmail.com 131]

about lucky noobs stumbling upon a camp is totally acceptable, but people who search night after night after night on one server, the same people, then it gets annoying, like, dont you have cities to loot? i mean, thats how people got their shit, ofc its still a tactic doing that but still annoying, but they learned their lesson, and most of them hasnt returned and thats what happens when you run into an admin camp on our server, you lose all your stuffz and has to start all over again :D

That is the world as we know it...fiat currency is power so ya....but there really isn't an option to do that...but if there was a way to outbid someones server and control of it...ya it would be a valid option to just spend more money....just sayin.

[ZekkCC (DayZ) 51]

Using your money to gain an advantage over others in a video game is kind of sad and should not be condoned.

I don't need an avatar!

[internetTAB (DayZ) 76]

fine fine fine, but maybe you could have an avatar inside an avatar inside an avatar? Just take that current pic that is your avatar and make it smaller, etc

kinda the same as hacking and exploiting. Authorities should never be considered above or under, they are equal to the players playing on their server, they should still be able to ban alt-f4'rs and combat disconnecters though.

About the abusive Admins...

They mostly think they can do what ever they want with "their" server, well no. They're paying for a community DayZ server for EVERYONE including them but with a double price. They must follow the rules set out by the DayZ Devs, it's their mod they're running on their server THAT THE SERVER OWNER IS PAYING FOR. I support the rules fully but there's so many loop holes in them so legit admins can't take action against exploiters, script kiddys and other dick heads, the server owner ends up getting flammed and spammed because of this half the time then the cheating prick gets to run away and cheat again and again AND AGAIN.

Frankly I get sick of this crap too, so anything I find that's related to cheating gets the player a ban. The amount of cheaters on DayZ makes it feel like half the player base is a bunch of cheaters. I try to put up with the crap but some day it's going to end badly, very bad. It may even destroy the mod. (IT'S STILL A MOD!!)

[DarkwaveDomina 1099]

If someone doesn't want to spend so much money on a server to follow strict rules, they shouldn't host a server.

Fucking simple OP, I solved all the fucking problems in one fell swoop.

I only had to read the first sentence to know that I agree with you, three words, straight and to the point. They pay for the right to host, not to abuse (10 words, damn, your expertise at short and sweet amazes me).

So what would you call all facebook games and free to play MMO's or just free to play games in general...to say money shouldn't allow some advantage is just idiotic in this day and age...just saying they pay so you can play...and spend time on maintenance....and they should be viewed as equal...just saying...i know damn well the majority of people would feel entitled to some kind of advantage...or privilege, ya they can customize the setting (crosshairs, etc) but i heard that admins are actually pretty restricted settings wise...just saying...in every other game ive ever played admins have always used their power to kick,ban,or exploit, whenever they could...or just customize the server settings to what they want...but since customization sounds like its pretty limited for dayz servers...i kind of get why they find other ways to take advantage of being an admin (kicking, and viewing locations of vehicles and tents on logs [some one said the logs show vehicle spawns and saves not sure if thats true but if it is....that would explain why i never see any]
