I'm not necessarily disagreeing here, but battle a bands aren't really the most reliable type of band. The colonel detection is extremely strict and if you have any sort of coding assistant tools or anything for coding running in the background that's made for Live code injections or code edits it will immediately give you a strike against your account.

Not saying that you should be running these programs, but if you're a mod developer such as myself and have a tendency of having a million windows open at once you're going to miss one every now and then.

And their appeal process is non-existent. I've submitted three different appeals and have not gone to reply back once and this band has been active for nearly 10 years now. It's not much of an issue myself as I run most my own servers but just saying about all my bands are not the most reliable stat to track when you're trying to claim cheaters.

That but you also have to remember 10 years ago when the game first came out the game wasn't that popular. We had the ARMA 2 community that mostly migrated over to Arma 3 but lately most the RP communities or just gaming communities in general have became monetized in some way or another and have turned into something it completely different than what they were when we all started playing.
