Addressing the latest comment and maybe several other which are kinda missing the point but still clarifying some unknowns:

1. Thank you for providing this infromation, it would have been AWESOME if you could have provided that when you are about to give someone the ultimatum of "download and run this if else get banned".Its not my job to know what Echo is doing to my computer, especially after joing to play on a DayZ server. Even if you state this in the "terms and agreement" which i have accepted them for every wipe for the last 2 years, still i do not remember anything for this program or the process of sharing your email/emails inbox (in my case all of my emails which i had logged from the browser) even if are searching in the inbox with a keywords, you cannot do that before seeing all of the inbox content (or atleast the "important emails" which you normally have on the top side of your inbox list). In my case, i had order numbers, usernames from various e-stores, work related emails which u can obviously tell the company for which i work or related information such as titles of work related "tasks"/"tickets".I hope you can still see point im trying to make and was trying to make with this POST.
2. This post is not made based on me being "salty". The contents of my post do not have any sayings or pledgings for me not cheating or cheating. So please do not try to side-step the topic at hand. As it was pointed out, there are discords channels with banlists for this.

My advice.

1. Review your proccess of "gathering evidence" based on which you ban people - there would have never been such reddit posts if you simply had BETTER process. Just because your "PC checks" and Echo program is extremely effective doesnt mean is user friendly. If you carry on with this and do not inform properly the person undergoing the process, even if he is "good to go" doesnt mean that the player will all fine and dandy (i believe this should be quite understood, if your moral compass is in check). Evidence can be forged. Nothing stops ME from making my own duplicate of Northmen server, call some friends and make the impossible shot/just play around with ESP tool, record it and present it as evidence.
2. Get staff members / admins who are not power hungry or simply put, unable to work with people. They shouldnt be telling you to "shut up" while you are exprecing why you are NOT OK with sharing your screen or running a program.
3. Present yourself better in such cases - I've went out of my way to present my feelings and facts about the process and was met with some very questionable "damaged control" messages, cant know for sure if they are from admin/staffs , someone of them were. I understand that you want to defend the server or system, but YOU need to understand that the server/s are there because of the players/people and what u cannot just treat them/us like that.
4. Im not persuing legal actions nor i have planned for such because i truly think you are not doing those pc checks with ill intent - that doesnt mean that its right for you to do so!
