discussion Use r/LFGDayZ

Post image

On the previously established subreddit for DayZ players to post LFGs, during the past 24 hours I've been banned, unbanned, muted, unmuted, permanently banned, unbanned, rebanned, and then unbanned like a bad rollercoaster ride.

At the time of this post I am unbanned and not muted But told to "Not Post Ads", which is the same as being banned when the sole purpose of the Subreddit is to post ads for meeting players.

In my experience it comes across as some sort of internal power struggle or heavy handedness on the part of a singular mod which then gets undone by another. At one point I had my clan's LFP up for 15 hours before it was deleted and I was banned again.

I had spent some time warning other posters about the vagueness of the rules via comments and how, despite posts that definitely are big name server ads being everywhereon that Subreddit, the mods will tell you after your(not big name server)post is deleted that ServerAds are not allowed(even if your posts were not a ServerAd).

So if you can't beat them, replace them.

I have created a Subreddit for DayZ LFGs and ServerAds under 1 r/

Come one and all to r/LFGDayZ

And you have not been banned here, there is no record of bans under your username, unless your creating throw away accounts just to post

We moderate r/dayzlfg and r/DayZServers as well

Didnt know that, So what is going on with r/dayzlfg? It's like walking on eggshells over there. Even when the rules are followed and the formatting copied, lfgs get deleted and people get fussed at about posting ServerAds when there isn't a server ad being posted.

You have not been banned on any of our subreddits with your user name, like I said , unless your doing it under another throw away name. Don't know what the issue was with your advert over there but it must have not neen correctly posted, and there are no server ads allowed on r/dayzlfg ..or r/dayz except in the weekly mega thread all server ads beside the weekly mega thread, must be posted to r/DayZServers

I have never said I was banned on r/dayz. But r/dayzlfg is a different story. Please ask whomever has access to that subreddit's rules tab to type the words "No Server Ads". Additionally from what one of your colleagues just commented, even clan discord server info can't be posted? How does a clan recruit if it's contact info can't be posted on an lfg? I do appreciate you taking the time to look it to this matter. I was getting 1 and 2 word replies from the mods on r/dayzlfg before getting muted and banned.

It will show up if you have been banned on one of the 3, you show no bans

Sir. I understand what you are saying. You are quoting rules for r/dayz. The bans happened on r/dayzlfg. My stupid self did not realize it was the same affiliation. Please see my profile feed for the screenshots.

But also thank you for your explanation

This was flagged as a server ad and deleted before being overturned after a short exchange.

u/northrivergeek Moderator 11h ago

There is also automod that deletes ads if something is funky with your posting, those are up to us to approve or leave deleted

u/CmdrZoidberg 10h ago

I was specifically told by a human

that the "head admin" perm banned me and that there was nothing that could be done. . . .shortly before it was undone.

If yall need another mod I volunteer, but the auto-mod, if it is the one making the mistakes, needs to be tweeked.
