haveing trouble banning this hacker

[ChaseOquinn]

ok there is a hacker in my server that i banned well he changed his ip and rejoined then i banned his serial he changed that. How do i get rid of him?

Ah.. the server owner's lament. I feel your pain.

When ban evasion continues after an IP ban and a serial ban, you really need to look for other distinguishing traits. Does he use the same name? Is there something about him that's always the same (apart from cheating) that you could use to pick him out?

Are you sure he actually changes his serial? Chances are small, but it might be that bans are actually removed. Checked the logs yet?

You might be able to script an automatic ban, but you need to be careful - false positives in this case would be BAD. Worst case scenario is you and your staff have to keep banning the bastard manually until he gives up - and some of these retards can be horribly stubborn.

Good luck...
