It appears that kick messages from BEC are not shown to players who are getting kicked.
People are just getting kicked out of game into the DayZ Standalone Start/Options screen.

Event Timeline
It appears that this also happenes to people not on the whitelist. In case of a BEC kick, the player who gets kicked does not see a message but is instead kicked out of the game and back to the start screen. This is a serious issue for whitelisted servers.
This is gamebreaking for RP servers as new players are not able to understand why they are being kicked automatically for not being whitelisted. This leads to players spamming the server which must cause increased load on it and confusion and complaints among the community
