That's what I thought the reason was. It may just be me, but Arma's bar just isn't as easy to gauge with. Even though most of the time it doesn't matter because of RedGull.
Whitelisted positions appear to be having issues at log in. A lot of cops were getting stuck at "Setting Up Client". Only workaround we could find was having everyone log out, then back in at the same time, but it didn't always work.
