    So i always wondered why i read so much about how admin abuse is rampant in this game. Well the server i was playing on didn't have admin abuse in the traditional sense. It was a Pve server and they built a giant metal fortress for everyone to hide in and never get raided. It lagged out the whole server and they gave people a bunch of LQM. The next server i went to was with some of my friends clan he played dayz with. Well everything was going well until the admin came and killed all of us because i shot his friend, he then blewup our whole base, spawned in like 3000 airplanes then reset the server.

    Well long story short i was frustrated with all the admin abuse so i decided to create my own server. I wanted a server where i could set the settings i wanted and there would be no admin abuse. Also i wouldn't have to rely on other people to ban the hackers and the troublemakers and i could just do it myself. So things were going well and my server was growing. Me and my friend have obviously been playing on it ALLOT so we have a big metal base with lots of items. Overall the experience has been awesome. Recently though i was looking for some pvp because well, the game gets boring without pvp. So an airdrop happens and me and my friend really need a metal foundation so we run to the airdrop and kill 2 guys in the process. Well they start bitching about how we got there to fast and how we must have teleported to them and spawned our Kevlar armor etc etc.... This went on for a while as they continued to yell at us for supposed "Admin Abuse". Well they left and i figured whatever they can think what they want so we went back to our base, unfortunately without a metal foundation. :(

    Time went on for another day or so and we got up to 15 people on at one time. I was excited to see the server growing. So i decided to go see if i could get some pvp fun going on. Well i went and shot some guys in their foot around their base. So we got into a firefight and i won. Of course they knew i was an admin and they starting bitching saying i had god mode and how my server sucked and i didn't deserve anyone to play on it. I tried to explain that i was just looking for some fun pvp and that i don't abuse my powers but they just keep whining.

    Well how am i supposed to prove that i don't abuse my admin powers? I cant period. I wonder if people call admin abuse all the time simply because when they get killed by an admin who likes to play the game just like me they can make themselves feel better by blaming it on admin abuse? I mean how am i supposed to deal with this situation. Not play on my own server that i pay for? Let me know what you think, i really want to get other people point of view on this topic.
    Just want to say that I've played on your server and I wouldn't say you're an abusive admin. Not sure if you went about it the right way to start PvP, but that's more of a game balance thing than how you did it.

    Though I do want my Bolt-Action back.

    Suicide because you got stuck in glitchy terrain when an admin could just teleport you a few feet away? Makes no sense.
    Playing a buggy alpha game and expecting people to hold your hand because you enountered a bug? Makes no sense.

    They really should limit the admin powers a bit. As it stands admins have the choice of sitting on the sidelines and watching or being accused of abuse for playing. Most game have admin abilities that are much more limited (kick,ban,mute). Being given god like powers that make the hackers seem like scrubs at what they do isn't condusive to trust.
