Autoban system

[efko.aqw]

- About autoban, new users - new accounts have benefits because they are autobanned for leaving, dc.. 3 days. Old accounts are always autobanned for 1 week and for regular players that can be problem. Can we ask for reduce autoban duration without warn? 3 days is enough for regular players who don't break rules.
- Good thing here is for new accounts, players can break more rules faster and they can play always with new accounts.
- Bad thing is long autoban duration for old accounts, and players who don't break rules can't play because they will be banned for ban avoiding.

My suggestion about this is to reduce/increase autoban duration 3/7 days (to be 3 or 7 days for everyone, for every account), but this probably can't be changed.

I hope B/U staff will take this in consideration.
With this topic i want to protect good players

I think there will be changes in ban durations.You can talk with Resor about it.

Do you mean something like:
1) You make unban request
2) You'll say you are autobanned because you were afk
3) You'll say you don't want unban (because you would get warn as well) but ban reduce from 7 to 3 days?

Better do as one player can make only one account in 1 pc then ppl can't make more multiaccounts or w/e

hmm,i am thinking at some idea,involving the old accounts that when they are autobanned for 7 days(maximum),if they werent autobanned for one month,the autoban duration should reset to 1 day

well you have to understand the coder, I think thats not easy to code.

First option is a daemon (or scheduled task, if you prefer to call it so) that periodically runs through database, and for each player checks last ban date in order to decide wether  to reset or not a single field is not THAT hard to code. Server load would be a bigger issue than that.

Second option is moving check to the moment ban occurs (no unnecessary checks for inactive accounts), and it's still more or less 1 query (last ban date) + if statement, which also shoud not be that much of a code. Downside being the fact you'd probably have to do it on actual bot code, which means tedious process of recompiling and setting it up again (on the bright side, that could be an opportunity to finally remove !sync for game owners... Yeah, I'm probably daydreaming).

TL;DR I can't see how is that difficult to code.

[mrNiceguy]

When I say "not easy to code" I mean it takes time and guess how much coders you have and how much time they have and how often they are online.

It would be perfect if ek0 have time to do that.

And about !sync command that command should be removed long time ago.

Well, with such wording, your intentions are not immediately apparent.
