Question in regards to who is banned etc

[jdz (DayZ) 238]

Hey guys.

So pretty much here's the story, my friends and I used to play on a server with a great ruleset, no nametags, no 3rd person, no tracers.

But when the hacking started getting really bad they decided to go to a private hive and we followed, up until 2 days ago it had been great. We were pretty much the dominating force on the server, had 2 helicopters and a few vehicles etc

They even respawned us a few times when we got killed by a hacker or spawned with no gear.

Anyway, we knew there were less than legitimate players on the server, ie the admin tent duping stuff and even unspawning his helicopter when he went offline. We played with a few randoms and they tried to dupe our gear as well zzz

We know the admin was duping stuff because we killed him 4 times in 1 day, 2 times stole both of his helicopters, and he was fully geared up each time.

This didn't mind us to much, we just carried on doing our PVP thing.

We are all 100% legitimate players, we save tents when taking stuff out etc.

But 2 days ago we all got banned, they said we were 'hacking and exploiting'.

We asked why they thought this and asked for examples, not one single one was given, nothing even suggesting it.

They also said we were 'bullying' other groups even though there's no way of telling who is who until they're dead...

I'm curious to hear other peoples thoughts on this, do you do this on your private servers?

Do you try and force people to play a certain way or do you let people play however they want to?

This isn't a rant thread, I am just truely curious.
