To prevent things from becoming "24/7 daylight 1000 vehicles max weapon spawns!" Which by the way is a game mode called "Wasteland" in Arma if you want to play it.

Here is the solution to the problem:
(All servers on the public hive will have to abide by these rules.)

1. All servers admins will have the ability to set a time zone for the server that will be day and night when they want.

2. This ability to set the time zone can be used once a week and will have a 2 hour period after it has been set to be changed.

3. The day and night cycle will be 24 hours real time.

4. Server time will not change on restart and instead continue on.

5. Any server admin caught trying to abuse things for a 24/7 daylight server or something like that will have a single chance to set the time zone before being locked out of time control for a month.
