# DayZ - Feature Safety Guide

When using certain features, it’s important to understand how **different server types handle security** and monitoring.

***

### 🔷 Official Servers

Official servers are run by Bohemia Interactive, but they are **not actively administrated or moderated by humans**. There's no live staff watching players — which means all features work without issue, and there's generally no one reviewing what you do

> ✅ This makes **official servers the safest environment** for testing and using features.

***

### 🔶 Community Servers

Community servers are a different story. These are **privately run** and typically have **active admins** who:

* Watch players manually
* Use custom server-side logging
* Run detection scripts
* Ban based on suspicion, logs, or behavior patterns

> ⚠️ On community servers, you need to be **very careful**. Some admins are extremely strict, and bans are often instant with no appeal. 1 ban on a community server can get you banned on all due to CFTools shared ban list
