- Make team vote work correctly and the ONLY way to votekick a non spectator from the server.
- Make a vote kick act as a 5 minute ban if repeated a few times in a day. And as a 1 hour ban if the lamer is really stuborn.

And with that we're back to the 'central server' that keeps track...
Besides the previously stated problems with that, who's going to pay for that server?

I still say get the servers correctly administrated and the problem solves itself.

Where did I say you need a central server ? The ban is a simple IP ban for the current server. The "a few times in a day" correspond to the used IP.

Sorry Stof, my bad. You're right, you didn't.

David, I don't believe that the same server should be used for it as bad tempered players would (D)DOS it .)

good point, but do you think the likes of belend13 even know what a DDoS attack is?

Sending wrong/fake packets to cause shit on a server, I did it more often than you kiddo.

Actually, a (D)DOS is an attack on a computer with the goal of making it unable to do it's intended operations. It doesn't even need to be on a network but most of the time it is, and most of the time, physical attacks aren't called DOS.

A DDOS is just a DOS using multiple machines on the internet at the same time. No need to send buggy packets or something : if a server is built to handle at most 100 page views per second, you take 1000 zombies on the net who will try to retrieve 1000 of times per second the web page and the server will meltdown in the operation. For those who know what it is, the slashdot effect would probably be considered as a DDOS if the melting down the webserver was wanted :)

as i said last time this issue came up.

why not, when someone gets kicked the 'join' button is shaded grey for a limited time by trem for that server and its saved into a log or somthing.

yes, slashdot still has enough readers to melt most servers.

Someone keeps going onto empty servers, and killing almost all of the other base and most of thier own base and leaving it that way. :x  Why can't they leave everything alone?!

BTW about the AA thing, how can you tell if someone is TKing or just deconning for normal reasons (Moving base, upgrading to teslas, freeing up build points etc.)
