Global Ban list

[Death On Ice]

It's a decent Idea, and I recommend we adopt it.

I, however have a few ideas to add to the idea.

How about whenever someone on the global ban list shows up on your server, a little window pops up to all admins (of a certain level) that says "[Name|Slot] Is on the Global Ban List. Allow to Play, Remove Certain Priveleges (Auto-Denybuild Him, Turn BFF and FF of specifically for him, etc), or Kick / Ban?" the admin could then decide on whether to Allow him to play normally, to deny him certain rights, or to Kick / Ban him. If an admin is not present, he gets auto-kicked / auto-banned and the next admin to enter chooses to unban him or leave the ban.

I would never allow other server admins to decide who is banned on my server. However, I do like the idea of a warning to admins when someone on the list enters. You can have your denybuild/kick/ban typed out in advance, and if he goes straight for the reactor with a conkit, you can simply pull the trigger.

Too bad a server couldn't automatically record a demo of players on the list as they enter.

[Plague]

With the assumption that this idea has any chance of being implemented in mind, why not allow easy uploading to the global deny list via an additional flag/parameter in the !ban function.

As said before, I think this stands more of a chance of gaining widespread use amongst server owners if it only warns, opposed to bans, offending players with a record on the list.

In '40-'45 they kept lists of who was a jew, a homosexual, or a communist. If you did not like your neighbour, you could just say he was a communist. I am seeing new opportunities concerning people I don't like and this 'global ban list'.

[Caveman]

Sheeeeesh how can you morons be so dense?

THERE IS NO WAY TO IDENT ANY PLAYER

Dynamic IPs are NOT a mean to ident someone!
GUIDs are set on a per server-basis!
Names are NOT unique!

[Lava Croft]

Before I forget, this belongs in the servers section.

Being able to submit a ban from the tremulous client is not a good idea. We don't want poison attacks on it, etc. My idea was to have a web portal with a voting system that required votes from registered admins. The ban list would be downloaded to the clients using a script (or in the future a patch to trem). Membership in this global ban list would be voluntary, much like being a member of a spam black list.

Maybe to have someone globally banned you need to have a demo of him doing his "stuff." Than people on the website can decide whether to ban him or not.

Yes exactly. A forum of sorts. Also a forum would be available for banned players to plead their case to get unbanned.

You can catch aimboters by specing and seeing them snaping etc but how do you catch wallhackers, speedhackers or hphackers (if their is such a thing)

wallhackers-lock on to targets through walls. simple observation. speedhackers, ummmm, go really fast? hp hackers.....dont die?

@SDNM
how bout an optional feature that lets you add a link to a demo of them doing it? that way you can take a look at the botters/deconners in your area and make sure it wasn't a rash ban decision. also the server name that they were banned from, and the ability to remove any person on the list submitted by you.

Wallhax as in you can see through walls, its like advanced radar. It allows the person to see whats around the corner and prepare for it.
If the speed is only increased by a small amount, it can be very difficult to prove, let alone actually notice. And for hp hackers, I guess just watch their hp as they get hit.

Ok.
Soundeth Goodeth.

As for popups, weve already got the build and spawn menus, nothing different basically.

Naw, I used to have respect for mario, I did it because of the jackass admins and council members, mainly tinman and rocky.

Please ban  71.237.188.15, subnet best. (rawr)

[BeerBastard]

That 3 dork kept evading my ban on OPP. So i just locked the teams after I banned him and when he came back he left and didn't come back.
