Bad server bad players good idea poor implementation

I haven't really chimed in on one of these posts before but would like to put out two things:

1. I don't believe we have any actually racist staff members.
2. I don't believe the server is currently dying.

Although David has summed it up really well, I would like to expand on both of the above.

For the first one, I can say having access to internal administrative discussion; there hasn't been anyone that has ever spoke to me or said anything about banning anyone over race. I think one of the trickiest thing our administration team has dealt with in the past and continues to deal with is being on the same page. Every once in a while someone will either make a decision that only half of us agree with or where we discuss something we never have before and we debate on which is the best way to handle something. We all try to be on the same page at the end of the day but realistically sometimes people face bans for things other may not just due to varying admin discretion; or perhaps even just a personal mistake. I think this can also be caused by discretion for ban lengths too. I probably give out way more warnings than I should where as another admin may see it as "if I ban them then they can just put in an appeal so we can have a discussion about it".

For the second one, I like to remind people that this server has not only survived (but for the most part thrived) for the better part of more than 10 years. When I first began playing the server 10ish years ago I was 14 years old. If you'd have asked me whether this server would exist in 10 years I would have said heck no and would have talked about Arma 4 haha. Over the course of these years that server has experienced a crap load of hardships before where people talk about it "being the end" or that "the server is dying". The largest was in 2018 where the gaming community Asylum even made a joking video about Olympus going under with a flat heartbeat of the Olympus logo "dying". Not only did we not die then, we have out performed the community significantly these past couple of years. Although the game itself has been on a decline with it being old, I don't really believe the server is dying.

That being said I do recognize that there has been a lower relative player count as of recently. Looking at it objectively, if I had to say the largest struggle we have been seeing recently is that Bohemia has been (unintentionally) kinda been bending us over with their updates. They will push them out and we will have little preparation as to what is actually in them and sometimes they will break things that we are physically incapable of fixing. That's why in this past month lag has been higher and we were dealing with people having issues loading in. We've made a lot of changes to increase network performance, optimize the client and reduce lag over the past few months.

We do appreciate our Turkish and other ethnic players and enjoy having them here as regulars

If no have racist in the game . so you need make new rules , that he can't  talk racism on side chat . or he get ban  

There will be penalties for racism, for example. You are from Türkiye, get out of this American server. Or you must speak my mother tongue so we can deal with you. or racism nicknames  ::::::::::

This is the biggest example of racism and hatred. We are in the year 2024 and there are still people like these.

Yea usually when you post a report video you don’t want to include yourself exploiting.

out of context screenshots get someone permed... I'm happy im back but the fact that some retard can take a fully out of context screenshot to get me banned is braindead.

Then saying i have association because i know Antwons real name... HIS FUCKING DISCORD IS ANTWON. Like i'm sorry but the whole situation of me when i was banned was completely braindead and no braincells were used all the way through.

Thanks for unban tho, but i still think that whole incident was braindead and noone can change my mind
