Servers and Hackers and be careful! Prophet....

[ScopeSgt13 1]

So I was just playing my game tonight...minding my own business. I decided to play some Warfare Benny on a server called Prophet or something. So me and a few friends get on there and start playing. A few hackers jump on the opposite team. Thats okay we didn't know. So were just playing along and they team switch a couple times because we got to set up the room and wanted to try out this new benny edition. Well After that happened they left and we restarted the server. I clicked VOTE ADMIN which is usable to ALL without hacks. So my friends vote me admin and I set up the rules and we start the game. A few hours in they get tired and go to bed. The owner pops on and asks and I quote, "HOW DID YOU BECOME ADMIN! WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?" In all caps mind you so I'm sorry if I am breaking the rules on that. The owner of the server is Prophet... I said Oh yeah I was just selected admin and before I could reply in the NEXT sentence I was banned. So my lesson has been learned. Everyone thinks that because you know how to use the options clearly labeled your a hacker. Any Tips tricks and stuff on a webpage for this server Prophet? or how to contact him. For jumping to a illogical conclusion that I was hacking his server with magic powers I do not posses? I would be greatful if one could point me in the right direction. Or we can just discuss simular situations and hope that ARMA3 doesn't have this same...incomp...issue :)

Thanks,

This is a common misconception that some server operators have.

I know because I did the very same thing back in the good old days. I found some chaps on my OFP server and one of them been voted admin. I asked about it on here in fact.

It might be this guy. Might be worth a polite message to him. :)

Wow.

If you're gonna run a server, know your stuff, Prophet.

[Tankbuster 1733]

Easy tiger. It might not be the same guy.

Im not trying to BASH him. Just named the server. I just think that it's a shame he thought I was hacking. I was voted by the others to be admin. I was gonna bring in a regular group of guys with me of about 10 people who LOVE to play ArmaIIOA Benny and play realistically. Yes we like to play with TONS of money and a Hundred units per man. But now because of this...we have to hunt for a NEW server.

The Server was Pr0ph3t's Modded WarfareBE BAF+PMC (TURN OFF ACE) and his name was Prophet. Never gave me a chance to explain. Any good servers of the newest benny?

Miss Spelled some words.

When joining public servers we never know if it is a real admin or voted in, I would prefer a difference in the "admin" status,

i.e "voted admin" vs "admin".

[enforcer1975 0]

You can distinguish a voted admin and a legal admin by looking if they have a * next to the word admin. A voted admin doesn't have one.

Yes, but new players do not know of this.

[enforcer1975 0]

There are lot's of things players don't know. Some games don't even show if an admin is logged in. As mentioned above someone who set up a server should know the difference if someone logged in with the master password or was voted an admin.

WWW gives so much information, maybe people should start using it to gather reliable information, it's not just for porn ;)

a "admin" can alway overide a vote admin. i mean. if you have a vote admin on the server.. the "admin" can login and you will be loged out automaticly as a vote admin.

i would suggest staying away from servers like this. if a server owner dosnt even know if the server has vote enabled. what the h*** is he a admin for? at least some basic knowhow is required in my option about the server setup if you are a admin.

Any good servers of the newest benny?

WASP ?

DAO ?

[ScopeSgt13 1]

Yeah I wish people would educate themselves. Not saying I am smart at everything. Just think if you don't know it...learn it. I tried the WASP and DAO they don't allow the sound mods I have. JSRS...which is quite upsetting.

Any good servers of the newest benny?

Your welcome to jump on our server.

We run the latest Warfare Benny + tweaked versions aswell.

Just look for virtual warriors uk server, we also run JSRS sound mod.

[ScopeSgt13 1]

Well I next time we get on to play some benny I will look up your server. ESPECIALLY if you are allowing JSRS! But first the 2.6 of I44 came out so.... Haha. But yeah thanks guys for the suggestions so far!
