Admins need power.

[Taiphoz 95]

I wana ask for more Admin power, first of all let me say I am not an Admin, Don't want to be an Admin, I'm just a player.

The server I play on is getting hammared by hackers, and the very very sad truth is that almost 100% of the time the hackers have more control over what happens on the server than the admin does , and that's mental, he can kick them if he see's them in the act but failing that he needs to wait for a while before he can parse the logs with some script or other to weed out the actions being performed.

Admins should be able to spawn Vehicles, as Vehicle loss is one of the biggest things people get when a hacker joins their server, driving a road taking supplies back to base, hacker tp's you to some far off place and you lose your car, or they tp to and take the chopper, or they just tp around the map blowing up all the vehicles.

I would like admins to get a message like "Player has just spawned an ammo box,Car,Gun" and be able to make the server spawn a specific vehicle, for example if some one takes the chopper the Admins should be able to tell the server, we need a new chopper and the server would then spawn on in normally.

Lets be clear im not talking about giving the admins the ability to spawn things in front of themselves, but rather the ability to tell the server, Hay a hacker blew this up we need a new one on the server.

Finally letting them add people to a ban list from in game would also be a nice touch, having to force them to go to the backend and add ip's and id's to some file seems like more hard work when it can easily be done from in game and letting the server handle it.

I know there are some admins that are dicks, but I think most are not, most just want to enjoy the game and hackers are wrecking it, its then the admins that get it in the neck "OMG hacker took my car do something" or "OMG hacker blew up my chopper and stood there while we shot a million bullets at him that did nothing" etc etc.

these people work hard and play long hours to get their stuff , so anything you can do to allow admins to resolve and fix some of the damage would go a long way I think.

in my opinion 60% of the admins are half the problem the moment you raid them or the moment you get a helicopter the server closes or you get kicked. then when you finally find a good server bam your hit by hackers.

battle eye needs to sort its self out and then rocket needs to start enforcing the server rules. then and only then could admins have more powers.

I prefer the option that lets the admin press a button and the hackers game client is instantly uninstalled as this pops up....

Admins will get more power over their servers now that the standalone is in development and the mod is opening up.

But not that sort of power.

I'd rather have the option of my own fleet of naval destroyers, linked with ArmA and BE to immeditley send cruise missiles to anyone that abuses admin, or to any hackers. The missiles payload would be a 14 inch D****, and would fuck them, like so many have fucked me, but this time, with the hard cock of justice.

With the mod opening up, you'll have more power then expected soon... You won't have total control, but you'll have a hell of a lot more then what you have now. I don't know if there is going to be restrictions on future private servers, but here is for hoping that we can edit the private hives!

In the meantime, look into a private hive.

This is already in. I don't know how many uses this feature though, as I haven't played DayZ for some time... I recon some of the professionally hosted and administrated servers use this by now; but no idea what servers those are... :|

Admins have a substantial amount of power. If someone is cheating they can ban them from the server. They can also access a players logs and send them to Battle Eye and get the player globally banned. The fact is, most server owners aren't doing what is their responsibility and allowing hackers to do these things.

[Taiphoz 95]

My point is that's not enough because it has to happen After the fact, the hacker gets his stuff , wrecks peoples games and only AFTER all that, can the admin do something about it.

Their only direct action seems to be a kick from the server, and in my view thats not enough, Admins must get flak from every angle its not a job I envy at all, any player who gets hacked and loses his stuff blames the admin for not stopping the hacker and then asks for his stuff back because it was lost unfairly, admins cant do shit about it sadly.

they need to be able to fix and undo what hackers have done to their server, I really do wonder what all the hate on admins is about iv only known one and hes been top, not done any of the retarded crap people talk about on here, in fact I think most of the admin hate here is just bullshit.

they need more power, they need to be able to fix vehicle spawns after a hacker ruins them. and then need to be able to add a player to the ban list Actively from in game.

but hay like I said im not an admin nor do I want to be, I just fkn hate hackers ruining my fun, and hate even more that the admin on our server cant do shit to fix it.

Hopefully the DayZ team will release an official automated anti-hacker server tools with the next update, fixing this very issue. I mean all they have to do is read a certain log file and issue a ban for the player on the local server and not save 1 min's progress.
