Guest Posted May 23, 2004 Posted May 23, 2004 hi all i just run a server and face too many cheatah so i would like to see a real ban feature like : - badname ban ex : DUMB* or *DUMB* - mask ban : *.maskofcheatahdumb.org ip ban is stupid, cause is too easy to override if no, all servers are gonna be passworded and it s dumbass
Guardians Proper Posted May 23, 2004 Posted May 23, 2004 ip ban is stupid, cause is too easy to override So, you want to ban by names?... Don't you think that's risky to other people who use the name?... How else would you ban, except by IP...?
orappa Posted May 23, 2004 Posted May 23, 2004 How else would you ban, except by IP...? Yeah, but IPs are changeable too, so there's no definite way of banning someone.
Guardians Proper Posted May 23, 2004 Posted May 23, 2004 Yeah, but IPs are changeable too, so there's no definite way of banning someone. Well, he's looking for a method of banning that is more efficient than IP Bans.
orappa Posted May 23, 2004 Posted May 23, 2004 Yeah, but IPs are changeable too, so there's no definite way of banning someone. Well, he's looking for a method of banning that is more efficient than IP Bans. Surely banning by username would be *less* efficient?
Guardians Proper Posted May 23, 2004 Posted May 23, 2004 Surely banning by username would be *less* efficient? Which is easier: Changing IPs? or Changing user names? Either way, they can change BOTH without a hassle. However, for most people, it's hard to change IPs.
orappa Posted May 23, 2004 Posted May 23, 2004 However, for most people, it's hard to change IPs. Well, not necessarily, because some people have dynamic IPs so it's just a matter of disconnecting and then reconnecting.
Guardians Proper Posted May 23, 2004 Posted May 23, 2004 Well, not necessarily, because some people have dynamic IPs so it's just a matter of disconnecting and then reconnecting. Some people have dynamic IPs. Everybody can change user names in the snap of a finger.

Everybody can change user names in the snap of a finger. Well, I can't argue with that. /me looks for a "surrender" emoticon...
orappa Posted May 23, 2004 Posted May 23, 2004 ^ Best I found. I was actually looking for a "white flag" one, but that's pretty good.
Ransom Posted May 23, 2004 Posted May 23, 2004 ...the most that would do is force them to put a "-" "{" "}" "[" "]" "`" "!" "@" "#" "$" "%" "^" "&" "*" "(" ")" "_" "+" =" ";" ":" "'" """ "," "<" "." ">" "?" "/" somewhere in their name (hope you had as much fun reading this post as I had making it)
orappa Posted May 23, 2004 Posted May 23, 2004 (hope you had as much fun reading this post as I had making it) What??
Si|ent Posted May 23, 2004 Posted May 23, 2004 We have wildcard banning for the persistant ip changing reoffender. And name bans are easy using MTAMA as are tag bans to keep the blatant cheater gangs out.
SM|rawk_it Posted May 23, 2004 Posted May 23, 2004 yea bump but i belive u need to add wildcards for hostmask.. you could do it server-side or client-side.. for client-side we'll need aeron's mtama script i thought of an idea i just dont have the time to script it but ill say it anyway using examples when someone joins u get his resolvd hostmask and if that hostmask lets say CBL-123-123.rr.com matches anything from banlist.lst it should ban him.. and banlist lets say have *.rr.com so it'll match him (using mirc scripts). if you dont get me just msg me in irc ill explain i guess aeron can do the coding part better then me. [/code]
SM|rawk_it Posted May 24, 2004 Posted May 24, 2004 nice signature rawk Thanks, but what that has to do with ANYTHING ? I'll use this moment to warn you VB6 i've seen what you post and most of it is spam so if you cant reply anything that is related to the subject we are talking about and its not a "lol" or "it suxzor" etc. then dont post at all, next time i'll temp ban or remove ur posts. Oh and btw, thanks
orappa Posted May 24, 2004 Posted May 24, 2004 CBL-123-123.rr.com matches anything from banlist.lst it should ban him.. and banlist lets say have *.rr.com so it'll match him (using mirc scripts). If he's at rr.com, surely a wildcard IP ban would stop him just as well as your method?
SM|rawk_it Posted May 24, 2004 Posted May 24, 2004 Not really, most isp's have more then just 1 ip range.. EDIT: there i even got a prove. Resolved CPE-24-167-194-88.wi.rr.com to 24.167.194.88 Resolved 21.26.33.65.cfl.rr.com to 65.33.26.21 Resolved 66-74-203-163.san.rr.com to 66.74.203.163 besides what if the admin dont want to except any *.br connection due to their abuse for example ?
SM|rawk_it Posted May 24, 2004 Posted May 24, 2004 Well i talked about it with MrBump on IRC he said my idea will work but it will ban a large ammount of users, but thats the admin's decision so when 0.4 will be released i will make a hostmask wildcard ban system for MTAMA and post it on the forums so anyone that'll need it can have it No reason keeping it open so.. Locked.
