Sorry to all players on our main server that crashed tonight. We\'re having problems restarting at the minute.

For those that were on when it crashed if you could post here to work out why it happened it would be appreciated.

Hey man, I'm playing on your server currently (the Official British Army server).

There is a group of players spamming supply crates from the repair points causing the server to lag to and freeze for up to 30seconds or so.

There was 3 Logi' trucks on the USMC side by the repair point with one player [FT21] CoronadoSEAL switching between all three trucks dropping crates as they were replenished.

I asked him to stop and began destroying the crates, he did but then switched teams.
Maybe 5 minutes later, the server starts lagging again and their team reports multiple people spamming crates at the MEC main.

People are slating the British Army and the Admins/Server quality. Now, I'm not a fan of people slating my nations army for anything, I also happen to like playing on your server so though it best you know about this.

Best regards, Burton

I've got screenshots with his name and chat related to the crate spamming.


Player underlined causing trouble.
Sadly I just nipped out for about 5 hours so I wasnt there to deal with it, but aswell as that PM^ Ive had 3 ppl on Xfire telling me about this aswell as alot of TK'ing.

Correct Name - [TF21] CoronadoSEA



Another Pm from Burton who was on server at the time...

Sorry, i made a bit of a typo, its [TF21] CoronadoSEAL not FT21

This is the only screen I got which kind of relates to the crates Screen Shot Click

You can check the chat logs around 20:14 for more specifics, but I joined the server, it was lagging, went to get a kit, saw around 40 supply crates at the USMC depot, 2/3 trucks and 1 Guy (Coronado) dropping more.
I asked him to stop or I would contact you(mike) via xfire (didn't know you were offline) and report you. HE said ok, and he did stop, but only because he instantly switched teams as I left the main.

The screen doesn't show him, the trucks or the crates as the game was lagging so bad I couldn't get screens due to the "problem with connection" message as the server ground to a halt. It only shows a tiny piece of the mountain of complaints about the lag. I would have got more screens again of the text, but each time I went to get a SS the server would lag again! :S

I'm 99.999% sure he was the instigator the mass spamming of crates, people on the MEC team eventually resorted to TK'ing him a lot, which then resulted in a mass of TK's on the MEC side that pretty much emptied the server.

Hello,

I often play on ABA server along side Mike & Campbell, The server fills up very nice and the fun begins but then we start to get allot of people joining the server purely to cause mayhem and then that's when the people start to leave due to TK's, People causing server lagg "spamming Supplies as an example" and other general things that spoil other peoples game play.

I was on the server before it crashed today and it was lagging really hard before it did, I had no idea it was to do with the supplies being spammed back at base buts its just really annoying that people come onto a perfectly running server to mess it up, they achieve nothing from it and are in the wrong and i think they should be banned indefinitely,

Also I've noticed it only ever happens the most when Mad-Mike goes offline, It's like everyone knows hes a server admin and think they can do what pleases them when hes not around, The only suggestion would be to recruit more people you trust to administrate the server,

When Mad-Mike is on the server everyone knows there place and its awesome game play and he dose a good work keeping order on the server
