NickServ for Trem Server
« on: July 07, 2006, 01:23:02 pm »
Is it possible to implement a NickServ like functionality for Tremulous Server?
So Server Admins can choose to run the Servers in registered only mode.
This would make ban by name really hurt and be a pretty good griefer protection.

This would also include making some GUI to set a password for the client.

Don't know why you would think this; even if a person that wants to ruin a game happens to care about his name he could just use a different one for that particular instance of jackassery. And what if someone else registers your name first and then gets it banned?

its all about making it harder. and re-registering an user name is more work than just re-joining.
in the end you can always say that a disturber can do this and taht, but experience shows that people usually dont create an extra e-mail adress just to spam in a forum for one hour. (deconstruct base once)

I think all in all something like this will eventually have to be created... maybe have some people admin the nickserver.. so everyone can get their rightful name in the start... but the decon/identity theft/ban problem's best solution is some way to lock people to their names.

Yep, people can't change thier name to one that has been used by a person with a guid (download tjw's client here http://trem.tjw.org/backport/ to get one ). And players can only change thier name a few times per login.

Yeah... but i just don't want someone using my name :(... it took me 3 weeks of hard thought/deliberation/and reaction group testing and BILLIONS of dollars and millions of kills to establish.. and some noob comes along and doesn't know and they start getting on people's nerves and its going to suck for me.....
