Griefers can go unpunished in this game.

Man, that poll really shows the large negativity on how the system is right now...

Hopefully once they get the flagging system working things will be better.
I still kinda find it BS that Steam prevents you from banning bad users...

 

Ikr. All the more reason to keep playing on private servers. Oh, and Mak, I think you meant to say "< 5 minutes"

 

Try to make it difficult to accidentally press this.

 

Well, that will certainly help out with finding specific offenders. On the off chance that you haven't seen it though (I actually assume you have but it can't hurt) here's a topic I made about admin ability enhancements that you might look at implementing for some future build, when you guys have time for that stuff.

A more fitting title for this thread would be "griefers usually go unpunished". I think the only way to actually even begin to address this outside of small bastions of diligent moderation is through the implementation of replays. I don't know how difficult it is to record full information of what happens in a game but if some talented coder has hours and hours of free time on their hands, Geti has said to me that if I could produce replay code he'd implement it. As payment I'll release my XXX Princess Geti mod with special bonus gender swap MM.

 

or we could just go to a preponderance of the evidence...

 

Instant record button implemented in game means bye bye hackers and griefors, for me, recording is hard because I don't have a fast computer. With an option like this, it would help me a lot

 

people should have a screen records ready to record griefers so they can report them on the forums. I should probably start doing this myself

 

Yeeaa i'm a admin on alot of classic servers and whenever i see someone fuckn around i perma ban without warning.

 

I like to screw around with them. Memorize their name, remind them that you can rcon ban them regardless of whether or not they're on the server because you know their name, then freeze them, and laugh at all of the ridiculous excuses they come up with to try and weed their way out.

 

I'd do the same if i could remember the rcon commands

 

:u i guess i'll save this on notepad thanks Reudh-sama.

 

I just hope I'm not doing this in the worst place possible at the worst time possible.

Firstly off the hand, hi there. This is my first post bla bla I didn't really feel like wasting around 2 hours checking if anyone already mentioned something about the things I'm about to say, so you have my honest apologies in case I'm just messing/annoying people.

Well, if the devs don't really want to change the ban system, why don't we create a topic (and get it "sticky") where we blacklist the griefers/such, which will supposedly be checked regularly by the servers' owners? The first thing they have to do is copying the blacklist and putting it somewhere near the server's files. Next, we should make a >>thing<< that automatically kicks the blacklisted players when they join a server, in case it doesn't already exist. This way, we can also make a list of 'serious' servers which follow the suppousedly trustworthy blacklist and update it, so we may know which ones are likely to have griefers and which ones aren't.

About the >>thing<<, perhaps we can get some modders to create it (like making 'bots' that check the server's log and when they find out a name contained in the blacklist they use the command required to kick them out) or even the devs if it's so complicated.

Yeah, this is basically like a semi-global auto-kick (ban) which would work on the servers whose owners are interested in making a safe place to play this game on.

 

Or server owners could just ban the people on the list, rather than having a bot that kicks them every time they try to join the server >_< ... You do realize that there is a ban function, right?

 

Well, I was thinking that having people to manually kick them over and over again would be too complicated, since there aren't always admins online. On the other hand, having some automated 'bot' (add-on) that does it would work all the time, without any trouble.

 

no, not kick them, BAN them. You do understand what a ban is, right? You give someone a permaban, and they can never come back. ever.
