Hello, I am the aforementioned "booch" --> . I would just like to apologize for whatever happened though most of it is unclear to me. I wasn't on at the time of the events DayZ Vet described. I was chosen to be admin by the server owner (for a while it was only him and I) probably because of how long I've been playing there and I try to be helpful and fair to other players, even if I don't like them personally ;) I did play with DayZ Vet on many occasions and was surprised and a little sad when I heard him and his friend were banned. Now, I do know that DayZ Vet is very opinionated and didn't like some of the changes made on the server before his ban, which is fine. But the server owner does moderate his server, very heavily, even if it means reading a couple hours of logs after work on his "free time". It seemed that DayZ Vet and his friend were discussing ways of hurting the server to get back at the server owner. Unfortunately, this has happened before, and lead to innocent players' bases and vehicles being destroyed by attack helis, racial slurs being tagged all over the map, etc. The ban was meant to prevent anything else from happening. Most of the opinions I hear of our server are very positive although you can't please everyone, obviously. The server is PVE and our players are generally helpful toward each other, DayZ Vet included, often being the first to offer a dead player a heli lift back to their body. But this seemed to be a personal issue between the OP and the owner, which continued on in this thread. I don't think it was fair to include the other admins as they were quite new at the time and, in fact, I am the youngest admin at 28. I'm referring to their lack of action taken during DayZ Vet's " fight " with the other players and calling the admins "kids". Also, in my opinion, being an admin does not mean being a babysitter. We are not there to step in between unhappy players unless it affects the gameplay or rules of the server. Once again, I'm sorry DayZ Vet was banned but I cannot un-ban him either, I will not step on the toes of the server owner, who I like and respect. It's his server and it was his decision.
I just want to add to this discussion about some of what IVE seen on this server. Ive spoken with Admin about it so you can't say I havent tried. First thing is the ever present fighting over missions. Players not marking or taking over missions and expecting all the loot. It states clearly in the rules if someone dies in a mission, it is not fair game to finish it and loot it. Thats exactly what happened to me... TWICE... And by the same toolbag player. There was physical proof i was in the fight before he was and had just returned to find him looting it. And when an admin showed up the response was .... Well its already looted. Not much he could do. I told him he just patted someone on the back for lying to his face and he didnt really have a response for that.
Base building... Last time I logged in I found someone building a base on the same hill as me. As close as the plot poles will allow. Its ruined my plans of expanding my base. Nothing, I suspect, will be done about this based on my experience on the server. I will give it a once over as soon as i see an admin. So we shall see. If its decided I can't expand then Im leaving.
If you care to know, i'll post an update when something happens.
bad admins!!
