 Solution to at least the stealing part, the plugin that prevents people from stealing or even accessing something they don't have the authority to, should be used across all rustez servers. 

That mod is on all RustEZ servers, with the exception of our Pure servers. Pure is a Community server listing, and as such, may not utilize this server mod.

If true, extremely unfortunate. Theft should be a one time offense. 

In some situations for raiding, stealing and theft, I agree: Based on your RustEZ profile and warnings on your account, you'd already have a ban if we   implemented immediate bans for all these potential occurrences. I don't know that we'll actually consider moving to immediate bans for these situations, but I'm always open to suggestions and player feedback on these topics.

Here is an update on this issue. 

• Gintahl - EU-Pure (M15)
• LadyAlien - EU Pure (C7)
• RedsSunShine - US Pure (R13)
• Love - US-Pure (H20)
• Arachne - US Pure (z14)
• SweetBeef - US-Pure (F8)
• Anatomicalhearts - AU-Pure (Z25)
• OGMemberBerries - AU-PURE (G1) 
• Mo15 - EU Survival (G11)
• Rose - EU Survival (J21)
• RosePnut - US-Survival (I1)
• Lexi - US-Survival (X7)
• wolfears - US Survival (P13)
• Cocaine Mitch  - US-survival (F12)
• Spindelle - US RustEZ Survival (N14)
• Sik Six 6 - US-Scourge (P13)

Love Shack Build Tours:  Friday, February 19 (7 pm EST). Meet in Lobby 1 (RustEZ Discord)

Pro Tip: Don't turn off your chat when an admin is speaking with you in game so you get the message.

Your ban will automatically expire in 6 days. As this is the second temp ban on your account in the few days you've been here, I strongly suggest you take the time to read the rules  the next time you log in to our server.

Any additional admin actions taken on your account will result in a  permanent ban on our servers.

Agreed! 

It's not OK to hoard world spawn items and prevent others from enjoying this aspect of the game.  if we see someone stockpiling cars, we'll remove the vehicles from their base (leaving an appropriate number for the player or team) to allow the cars to respawn in the wild.

Car dealerships are a pretty big part of the player economy. We're using 10 as a guideline for shops and only if players automate it to ensure the vehicles can be purchased when the shop owner is offline. This also may change as we look at how many vehicles are spawning and the impact it has on gameplay and how many players are setting up this kind of shop on a specific server.

It will take a bit to balance it. Death has increased car spawns and also mentioned some work on the garage system that will help improve this in the future.

As always, feel free to ping an admin on your server, or message me (on the site or Discord) with the info if you see it going on and we miss it. 

Please keep the feedback and comments coming in on this!

this is a regular occurrence on servers. people have literally built bases at known spawn locations and within seconds of it spawning they are destroyed. When this was happening to Bradley something was said and done to discourage it but the NPC garrison seems open to abuse. 

Thank you  - this is really useful feedback for admins. 

We'll step up efforts to enforce the no camping rule and speak to players in-game who hog the garrisons, in the same way we do for other server spawn events (i.e. brad, heli, cargo etc) to make sure they are aware it's not cool to do this in a PvE community.

I will look into this further to see what we can do to make the garrisons event more enjoyable and less campy.

Same shit, different wipe. Big reason why my team left. Rules enforcement has been garbage the last several wipes.

 

There are some servers with a low admin presence that is definitely noticeable. Hopefully, we'll see more apps come in to fill the available admin roles. 

Do we catch it all, 100% of the time? No. Absolutely not, but if you have an issue that isn't being addressed, you can fire off a message to me (or any admin) to discuss and to ensure we're aware of what's being missed or overlooked.

I hope you and your team have found a good place to play – best of luck!

Our racist and derogatory language rules apply to all members of the community and are enforced in all places where the community participates, including the server, our Discord and the website.  Your temporary language ban will be automatically lifted after the duration (in 2 hours). 

Should you wish to play on our servers when the ban is expired, I recommend taking a  few minutes to become familiar with the rules. Server rules are conveniently located on the game info screen prior to joining the server, by typing /rules in chat once you connect, and here.

Amsullivan has also destroyed a whole section of my base. How is this not admin harassment?

This is an admin cleaning up your efforts to bother another player on the server. The portion of your base that was removed is the twig section shown in the images above. This is the appropriate action that we would ask any admin to take in this situation.

I am a simply a berry farmer and wish to return to my crops and would like some consideration from other admins on their opinion about whether this is player targeting on behalf of another player from amsullivan.

I've read through your complete chat log of this wipe up to the point you were banned.  The ban action is a direct result of your own retaliatory actions and behavior towards other players.  

Do I agree with the 3-day temp ban? No: a minimum 30-day ban when you chose to purposefully harass and annoy the player near your location would be more appropriate; however, I understand in this case the admin opted for the 3-day temp ban as a final warning to you.

You may return to your berry farm in 3 days. The ban will be automatically lifted after the duration.  Should you wish to play on our servers when the ban is expired, I recommend taking a  a few minutes to become familiar with the rules. Server rules are conveniently located on the game info screen prior to joining the server, by typing /rules in chat once you connect, and here.

What server are you on (US, EU, or AU) @Yokin ? If possible, post a message in #help on Discord to report the player and tag your server so admins are aware and can look into it!

BE MINE.

Recently, I have come to realize from what the Admins say, that the bases of players with +10 days of absence are destroyed / cleaned up. Just to be informed and since I have been absent for a considerable time (since September 2020), is this a new server rule that is registered in the regulations?

No, it is not a new rule.

Inactive Purge was implemented on EZ servers Oct 2019.  Inactive purge is an important part of managing entity lag on the servers. The inactive Purge system uses team and auth checks to ensure little to no impact to active players.

I think that destroying bases that are "too much" or too large, such as a player who occupies a complete island, I agree with that and am an advocate of a limit of TC's per player. Now destroying bases for absence, I do not agree, the map is much more "ugly" because it is very empty and gives the impression to new players who are joining a ghost server.

I agree that it might look different to a new player joining after an inactive purge runs on a server, but honestly.... I'd rather see players who are logging in every 1-2 days for an entire wipe have the ability to spend hundreds of hours in a base they love (and not have additional restrictions imposed on them) than keep a hundred "wipe days" bases hanging around for players who join once and never return, just to avoid "ugly"
