IP bans... and stuff.

Ok, I have had enough of Oswald, He thinks he's oh so smart, Oh lets keep joining phantom's server with new aliases that are ignorant, childish, and not to mention rude to everyone who plays in my server. It's unfair not to me, but to the other people who have also had enough of him, therefore, I am vouching for a perma-ban of oswald from all aspects of our community as we did with glofan and his ignorant group of kiddies.

Oh and for those of you who have no Idea what im talking about, ill quickly bring you up to wraps on this issue:

It apparently started when I announced that TWM was working again, He gets all mad at me so he comes up with this idea. Two nights ago, he joined my server and started spamming in it. So I banned him, He rejoins, but with the name "Phant=DickBitch" I ban Again. He joins again, SO I IP ban him. apparently he has Static IP, so he just changed his IP, I IP BAN That, and so on and so forth. This has been occurring for the past few days. NOW, Asking for a perma-ban sounds like a lot, But I need a solution to PERMENTANTLY ban him from my server. And because IP banning wont work, And I have no idea how to ban By MAC Address, This sounded better.

This is how I did my IP Ban:
   %CLIPAddress = ""@%client.getAddress()@"";
   echo("Client IP Var = "@%CLIPAddress@"");
   %OswaldBadIPCheck = strstr( %CLIPAddress, "IP:4.249");
   %OswaldBadIPCheck2 = strstr( %CLIPAddress, "IP:4.248");
   if(!%OswaldBadIPCheck) {
      echo("Perma-Banned GayMofo Oswald with name "@%client.namebase@".");
      MessageAll('Message', "\c2"@%client.namebase@", Is Perma-Banned For Being a Childish Noob and a Libelous Rumor Spreader.");
      %client.setDisconnectReason( "Oswald, STAY OUT OF MY MODS, FOREVER!!!" );
      %client.delete();
   }
   else if(!%OswaldBadIPCheck2) {
      echo("Perma-Banned GayMofo Oswald with name "@%client.namebase@".");
      MessageAll('Message', "\c2"@%client.namebase@", Is Perma-Banned For Being a Childish Noob and a Libelous Rumor Spreader.");
      %client.setDisconnectReason( "Oswald, STAY OUT OF MY MODS, FOREVER!!!" );
      %client.delete();
   }

  • I hope no other T2 players live in the same city and use the same ISP.

    You're gonna ban a whole lotta people from Texas...

    You should really try to narrow down those bans.

    Two T2 players, from texas, using the same ISP... and in top of all.. playing phantom's mod?

    What are the odds? Ban first ask questions later! :lol:

    That is nearly impossible to do if someone has Static IP. Thats why I want to ban him by MAC Address. Which reminds me, Elec, You once spoke to me of a "Viral IP Ban". This may be sort of a solution to what I am looking for. Could you explain to me how it works and How I could create one like it?
  • A static IP is one that never changes, Phantom. If that were the case, he'd be easy to ban.
  • well then It must not be static, Because he constantly re-joins when I put that code in, And Its with a different IP.

    please, be advised that this is not the place to disscuss that. make another thread for that purpose...

    im asking, only because we are all eager to see what thyth is doing. i entered hoping something might have happened :P

    I'd like to point out that I haven't been on Tribes 2 in over two weeks. I've been too busy loving Left 4 Dead.
  • The viral IP ban is pretty much only possible with an auth server. It correlates IPs and GUIDs via server logs to ban every single one someone has connected with. It also probably won't work well if someone has unlimited accounts (ie. the new auth server). IP range banning actually is a viable idea; it's exactly what I would do in this situation. If you find an innocent person in the range, it shouldn't be too hard to make an exception for them.

    PS. MAC address bans wouldn't help you either. It's just as easy to change your MAC address as it is your IP. In fact, it's much easier in many cases.
  • Tribes 2 IPs always change port. You have to put a wildcard in for that. There's a hint.
  • Yay update!

    Doing good Elec, Doing good.

    I was thinking, this is sort of unrelated to the topic discussion, but would it be possible to implent a server-side tutorial browser for ingame that would pop up upon pushing F4, to display videos or step-by-step tutorials on how to 'basic building'?

    That question has been in my mind for as long as I can remember.

    Builders aren't the only ones who are going to use this patch.

    Or you could implement my CIGTS system that I am working on.

    I know, you didn't think I saw all the arena / CTF servers in Lan? :p
  • What part of 'stay on topic' didn't you clowns understand?
  • you said it would only take a few hours
  • who are you anyway?
  • who are you anyway?


    Thyth is the mastermind who is saving T2 from certain doom! :eek:
  • Phantom,
    I don't think its Oswald....If it happens to be though= I would encourage you to stop! This same guy has joined the-construct servers TX and BC this last week. Causing havoc in them aswell. I know this is the same guy. Because he built a giant male private in the server last weekend and i deleted it so he said some crude things to "Everyone" to get banned. Then rejoined with different names to insult me or others as well. This has happened over a period of several days. His list of several ip's i have sent already to krash. One of the ip's started with 43.... I wouldn't worry to much cause when they get the new master up. This guy will be history. And if "this" guy is reading this. I would be very careful. I know I wouldn't do it. But you might "tick" off the wrong person that knows the right stuff. To really mess up your computer where your IP is listed so easily in this game. As that someone could be a little less patient than us here. And return the damage you seem to do so senselessly. In other words some other player will know how to do some nasty things back to you where your computers ip info is there for them. So be careful...
    If you like phantom I would ask krash or thyth as that im sure they could give you some tips to single him out and not the whole state of texas.

  • what doom? warlovr + rebels? theres a conspiracy that theyre planning to overload thyths server by flooding it with noobs who think targeting laser is actually pee. xp
