This is how Olympus Admins handle ban appeals

[GhOsT1202 2]

I feel it is necessary to share my recent experience with the Olympus Arma 3 Life staff regarding how they handle bans and appeals. After dedicating countless hours to the Olympus server and being a loyal member of this community, I was unexpectedly banned with the reason listed as "scripting." This accusation is baseless, as I have always played the game legitimately.

Following my ban, I submitted seven separate ban appeals, all of which were either ignored or dismissed without any evidence being presented to me. Despite requesting details from the banning admin and even escalating the matter to the head admin, I received no response, no evidence, and no clarification. This lack of communication and transparency is extremely disappointing and shows a complete disregard for the time and effort many of us put into this server.

To make matters worse, when I opened a ticket on their Discord to discuss this issue seriously, the response I received from some of the staff was completely unprofessional. Instead of addressing the matter with respect, they spammed me with GIFs and memes in the ticket channel. Not only did this make light of the situation, but it also added insult to injury and made me feel disrespected as a community member.

For those of you who invest your time in Olympus, I want to make you aware of how their administration team has treated someone who only wanted a fair chance to defend themselves. This is no way to handle ban appeals or interact with the players who make this server what it is.

I urge the staff to reflect on how they manage their community and encourage transparency, respect, and professionalism in all interactions. A gaming community thrives on mutual respect between players and staff, something that is currently lacking in this situation.

I sincerely hope this post serves as a wake up call for change.

Thank you for taking the time to read this, and I hope others don’t have to go through what I have.

Reported one of the nemisis dudes for clearly having esp and was told my video wasn't good enough even knowing i was glitched in a container like 4min before anyone showed up and he knew exactly where i was and exploited to kill me.

Tbh think some of the admins dont know what theyre doing when it comes to scripting bans, i think they just spin a wheel. 

 

Tbh i see ghost get waxed constantly, not really the level of game play you see from a cheater.

head admin protect this shit gang

As I said in your support ticket:

Quote

Create an appeal later down the road but as Fraali mentioned, a lot of effort went into evaluating your appeal and unfortunately for you right now the consensus is that you were cheating.

When it comes to Olympus one of the only things we have a zero tolerance policy for is cheating. Players who use third party software to give themselves an unfair advantage ruin the experiences of our players; which is something we tend to take extremely seriously. As a staff team we do strive for transparency which is why we let players see their ban information on their stats page. Cheating however is one of the only kinds of bans we will not release information for. This is out of principle and out of respect for the severity of the infraction that has been committed.

Now to go back to being that unprofessional staff member that responds with GIFs:

If you’ve seen the amount of dog water ass players we have caught cheating you’d understand that cheating doesn’t = good as well. @ CaloomClark caught some recently that were in contention for worst Arma players I’ve ever seen but were clearly using ESP lmao. We have  lot of steps we take to ensure scripting bans are absolute. Which is why even the reports we deny - we look heavily into the player after just in case

Staff doesn’t show proof for scripting bans because it could be used by other scripters to skurt detection..

as someone whose banned plenty of people for scripting in the past.. the bar to get banned for scripting is pretty high and most of the time involves input for multiple staff members and devs and usually countless hours investigating. If they’re denying your ban outright, you were likely doing something wrong.. first step to getting back on the server is to admit you F’d up.. then wait out your time..

[Cowboy- 22]

Y’all are doing the most going out of your way to find cheats to use on a server then if you get caught you deny and try to make the admins look bad.
 

As Mav said, first step to repentance, admit your faults and that you got caught using cheats. Maybe you will be able to join back one day.

Shit id say the bar is even higher now under Jay because he wants to be sure people aren’t being banned that MAY not be cheating. If someone gets a manually added scripting ban, they’re 99.99999% chance cheating.

I heard if you send Fraali $100 you’ll get unbanned. Dm me and I’ll share his PayPal link. It might look like my PayPal link but trust me.

Not gonna delete the comment cause it doesn't break any rules, however I will be fully transparent on the topic.

First off, don't click any links or send money to random people, that's just stupid.

Second, I have not and will not entertain any ideas of "buying an unban" or donating to be unbanned. Not only due to the fact that I hate cheaters, but if you've been around long enough to watch other servers allow that kind of behaviour, you will know that it only sows distrust with the community, would lead to false bans just so people would pay to come back, and eventually kill the server.

If you get banned that is 100% on you and you should live up to the mistake, not attempting to get out of trouble with bribes.

My comment was a joke and I thought it was pretty obviously a joke. I even added the “it might look like my PayPal link but trust me” just in case people didn’t get the sarcasm in the message.

Kinda figured, but I know that some poor sap would take that seriously even with it being pretty obvious

Looks like they handled that pretty well to me...
