IP banning

Tonight i had one guy named andrzej40 which i banned several times and guess what, he returned back with another IP adress...i ban him again and he do it again...it was pretty much funny to see him and on the end it was full server and he couldn't enter anymore...poor guy

I supose spotter can't help in that, any suggestions??

only way is to use the external blocking program . I use it often . that way people on the list can't even see my server

yes , spotter is useless . static IPs are maybe 1 % of overal addresses . I think dynamic IP banning , aka range blocking should be seriously considered for a spotter . because nutcracker and ban list themselves really pose no stoping power . me personally have 0 people banned in spotter ...

do u use the Nut cracker?

NutCracker is not a solution, if I write there his name I will automatically eliminate several players with similar names...and USB clan have a very good guest player on our server with name like that...and problem is not solved...

Nutcracker , yeah , imagine when a cheater has a "sniper" in his name ,

What you gonna do , act a fool ...

yeah ... well , many people do not know english , but I always say , not knowing the law doesn't justify you . if you go 200 kmh on 120 kmh speed limit , and say to an officer , "I didn't know" . well , mister , that ain't gonna cut it ... english is the widely accepted language with easy basics ,learn or be kicked , your fault ...

but even worse from silent ones are those taht continue to talk on their language , no matter how many times you say ENGLISH , uf , that alone makes me nervous

andrzej40 Just type that name in Spotter....

full name.... Yeah unless u have freinds.. that are and??? wich i doubt?? but what do i know LOL just an Idea.. sorry

Seriously, that would be lame to add Range Blocking in Spotter. No one would be literally satisfied with it. For example, Blocking my IP Range will also block 3 other ISF Member's IP and similarly blocking Bull's ip range is going to block a WSE Clan member. So blocking range will never satisfy the condition to ban just a person. Who wants to ban the innocent , and yeah Blocking a particualr ip of dynamic ip can be done by placing a cookie etc.. but I don't think any of those would work with Sniper Elite, as its just a ping based game. Not sure though.

yeah ... but maybe , IP range we keep just for those on the lowest bottom of community ... but yeah , there is always that "collateral damage" ...

we would need some super duper new way of restricting players , but since none is on horizon , we better stick to good old ALT+K on the spot
