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
