New and almost fullproof ban idea

[[xNet]DrDre]

Well on http://www.zone.com, you can get banned, and they even make dialups banned!

Wanna know how?

Secret files and registry entries

MTA can do this, that when there banned, adds registry entry and when they try to connect, if it sees that reg, banned

Only way to get unbanned is to find these keys... MTA Make sure u hide them good with encryption so a user cant search for them

80% Foolproof

Nice idea , think it woud keep 60 to 70 % of the people that get banned unbannable for sure cuase they woudnt know where to look.

[me]

yes, that would work... But I just hate software that leaves hidden registry settings and files lying around even when I un-install it...

[SM xenex]

maby if sum1 want to, make a virtual router on their computer. cuz routers can do it. i forgot the acronym. like ARP and RARP or something.

Registery files are too easy to remove

If its removed, you cant play...

[SM xenex]

Well yes they are easy to remove, but opnly to the ones that know how to, not the ones that have no idea what there doing, and thast why i said 60 to 70 % .

Actually you can play with edited files then, either way that idea can be bypassed, having anti-cheat "things" on the players computer rather than the hosts computer wont work in long term once 1 person bypasses it theres no doubt they will share. I aint trying to argue but just saying
