Is there really anything that can be done? I know they can revoke your license, but that won't stop the server from running.

Hi there,
So I was just online as an admin for the eDayZ server and I'm in no way an owner for the server but anyway I had this "player" come and message me about this forum post about five minutes after it was posted which seems a tad odd to me to start and nearly three or four minutes after he messaged me these "bots" started joining the server which all have the same ip address as the "player" who talked to me about it.
Now I cannot confirm or deny whether the owner has for some reason got bots to do so, but in my eyes it seems very very unfair for people to openly slate a server without actually knowing if they are faking bots or not.
Now I'm a 22 year old with a full time job who plays on the server just for fun and I'm not interested in getting back into a whole "he said / she said" argument but I will make my efforts to /ban all bots that I can identify whilst online and also pass on the IP addresses of those said bots.
I don't want to point blame at the poster (even though he runs the same game/gamemode) as he may of just joined the server and thought they were bots, but I find it very suspicious and very odd.
So save the hate/blame and maybe even ask the owners before you go out of your way to take blame into your own hands without knowing the full facts.
Will update with further info when I get it.

Wow seriosly. I played in that server some days ago because I liked the gamemode and was seeing it full of players. Shame on the owners.

Most servers are hosted in OVH, FR. So if you live in Paris or nearby you know

True, a 15 ping is not possible on samp through the internet - at least not for 30 players.
It's definitely a LAN ping, just go on any SAMP server and look for players having a 15 ping - you will hardly find any.
Assume they are real pings, do you really think there are 30 SAMP players so close to the server location all playing on your server at the same time? I guess not.

We received thousands of attacks logs due an attack by attacking edayz.
This is false and untrue we got attacked by an Program Called : RakSAMPClient which gives you an LOCAL Ping/MS
Me as the Owner of eDayZ would never use Bots to increase my player rate.
( And i didn't downloaded the DayZ 7.0 License ) i actually bought it.
IPs found :
5.133.58.225 [29/09/14 | 18:03:22] [DRD]TheLegendZ - (null)

Why does everyone seem to think Pottus is attacking the "staff" member, he was simply explaining why they were bots, and why they were hosted locally where the server is.
Also, why does said "staff" member deny this or denies it but denies denying it so much? If it was me I would as a staff member simply say my piece and leave it there, it's not my server not my reputation it's going to destroy. Also how he makes very post so it's worded as if Pottus was attacking him is just despicable.
As for what Khanz said "living near the server", you will still find that the Ping is higher than 15, this is because it first has to goto the ISPs or a shared server which knows where the desired IP Packet has to go. It's like on your own network, just a lot more complex. You can't just send a message to 192.168.0.4, it has to go through the router first. This will redirect the packet to where it needs to go, unless your connect directly through a cable with no DNS server, and therefore can choose your IP ?(impossivle on an ISP) you cannot route a packet to go direct to its destination.
There used to be a VPS host in the centre of Bristol, England where I live. My ping to that about 4 miles away direct was 25ms as it had to goto the DNS servwe/router thing to be routed to its destination first making it travel 15 instead of 4 miles.
Obviously in order to leave my house it had to go through my network aswell, then when it arrived in their networked it had to be routed through their network. This makes 1 hop essentially more like 5 or 6 hops minimum making 15 impossible even if we cut out the middle Man (the ISP).
It really boils my blood that legit server owners work our asses off for some goofs to come along and do this.
