Just got kicked from the Central Hive db server - not very surprising really as my name (Footissimo@Ubuntu) was coming up as spamming 'lol' on the messages repeatedly (like one or two times a second for a minute or two). Obviously it wasn't me who was doing that (I was leading the humie board at the time and a tad busy trying to tussle with Coolero, well getting my arse handed to me, but thats another thing
), but someone voted to kick me because they saw my name and people don't think otherwise.
Anyway, this has happened loads of times - someone comes on and does some hack to make it look like another player is spamming (usually with 'lol'). I presume the devs are aware of this? It's difficult to locate the one who is actually doing the spamming, though I presume they wouldn't actually be doing much in the game.
Oh and some guy was running around as alien, in a battlesuit yesterday - it was funny as hell as the suit was lying down then would jump up like a rag doll when the alien jumped..he didn't do anything nasty with the hack (and had the same stats as the alien he was currently evolved as) but it's not great news and presumably a problem with the Q3 engine.
