Keep getting banned

[Biosharkz 2]

Hey, new player, just got all set up, major problem.... Everytime i join a server, i get banned.

Don't hack, don't get banned. It's a pretty simple equation no one seems to get.

I haven't been able to even connect fully to a server.... how can you assume im hacking? I sign in and before i can even create a character, or however it works, i am told i am banned....

Maybe the CD key you bought was banned.

:/ That sucks.... I assumed it was banned by in game ID...

So the question is, what does the Ban message say?

and where did you purchase your key?

[Biosharkz 2]

The ban messages are saying something like "You have been banned." or "You have been kicked." or "Admin Ban"

My copy of Arma 2 was purchased at a garage sale, previous owner had no knowledge of DayZ however.
