Title: Pluging rule.
Post by: Resor on March 03, 2010, 09:16
Hello.
Refering to rules http://playdota.eu/forum/index.php?topic=1425.msg5531#msg5531 we can read: NOTE: Unplugging is considered leaving.
I would like to ask you to change it a little, becouse plugging is something worse in my opinion.
If player leave game voluntarily he get 1weak ban from !banlast command - quick and no need to involve any admin.
If plugger apears someone must report and do ban req for him (waste of time for player) and admin must aproove it (more work for moderator).
Meanwhile plugger play couple of games more where if he dies too much, just plugs again and again, ruining another game.
I've seen people trying to avoid !banlast with good effect. After ban req they usualy get ban for 3 days + warn so they are ahead anyway. Pluggers have much smaller chance to get banned and even then, ban is shorter than it suppose to be...

Theres 55k bans on bots at the moment so not much voluntarily leavers we can meet playing on pd.eu, specialy in PRO games. However still its rare to play game from start to finish 5v5 where noone lost connection (purpose or not).

My suggestion is invent one more rule for pluging wich is most popular method of leaving nowadays.
Duration: 10 days at 1st instance.
Remember: there is always unban forum where player who lost connection can explain himself! If player care, he will make unban req with reason why it happend.
Most of true pluggers will not explain themselfs becouse they dont give a shit about.

Being a host and ask for balance after 13min from !drop he's teamate (23min of game). Ask for roll? Does he know the rules? I guess not.
Being a host and do plug... what worst thing he could do (exept hacks)? Save game just right before LOL. Gross.
What he receives? 3days ban +warn... gross injustice.

Shall be tougher rules for hosts than for casual players who should, but not must know the rules.

At first I banned him 1week, but then reduced the ban.

I also think that this needs a change. I will wait 2weeks and see what other people will say.

I am agree with this but i would put ban 5 days not 10!

ye i think the old rule should be back on table... that way only the player that really got disconnected will want unban and others that plug wont give a shit... bring back the old rule! :)

Ingame command like !ban [nickname] plug would be nice for those who "lost conn". Trully it's not that hard to differ plug case from lost connection one. Just take a good look at his stats, play style and occasion it occurred. Usually ppl plug when they got ganged few times or whine all the time or die few times in a row...

Sure... maybe 45mins? Plugger may eat dinner and back to the game. Voluntarly leaver have 7days ban...
I remember old days and pluging was something very rare, becouse player who lost connection were banned anyway. Those who remember knows that right now 80% of lost connections are pluged cables.

That was good old days when hosts had weapon against any kind of leavers.

Moderators trying to avoid bad hosting and its understandable. Not all players are mature enough to recognize plugers and they would ban everyone when they have chance.
In the same time admins protect bad hosts giving them small punishment for really bad things they done. Host should take responsibility for the game, protect the rules, be an example for others - punishment for bad hosts shall be x2 as to casual player. When host leaves (plugs) game will be ruined within 1minute, becouse some of players will leave after host.

I just dont get why voluntarly leaver receives 7days ban by !banlast, rude pluger should get 5days and rage pluger HOST gets 3days +warn.

I just think that something is wrong here  :o Whatever... its just suggestion :)

45 mins and 5 days is not the same!!!!

and I said 5 days just because some kid will host and he will not recognize the real plug and lost connection.

Then this kid should get a !warning for doing this and every other attempt by this kid should be penalized as ban, ie. for a week.

The real problem is that there are no leavers left on pd.eu. ONLY PLUGERS.
Leavers mostly have no game records and they arent alowed by most of hosts to play.

Punishments should teach, not kill. Its not really obvious if player left with unplugged modem or with laggs(which almost never happens).

3days lasting automatic ban with !banlast command in game by admin should be enaugh.

isnt easier check last actions before plug / disconnect ?

mmm i like this :P and true they have to be punnished more harshly then just leaving... get this: i played yesterday a game and we were winning and 1 player of the opposite team asked me if he can leave...i though about it for 1-2mins and decided to let him go, he said friends were waiting him... i did not ban him cuz he asked me too... and other people dont even ask, instead they just plug and getaway with it until i report ofc :D

and yea i like this idea for this rule :P

If you ask me, I'd like to have pluggers banned for at least 15 days. :)
Title: Re: Pluging rule.
Post by: ek0 on March 10, 2010, 13:51
1week more and I will change the rule.
Btw, I forgot to say that, after I change the rule a player that lost a connection will not be banned in game. The only way to do it, is to request on forum.

That will not change much. Only number of new accounts on BN will incrase. Plugers will create couple new accounts and they will do the same thing.

They will create new accounts even if game owner could ban them.
Also this topic is for plugging rule, not for users with more than 1 account.

y but the idea is for people to stop leaving games...so if they create multiple accounts they wont stop destroying games...another rule must be voted in for the game to be 100% good... (but there is nothing perfect so a 100% good game would never exist :/ )

I would not say that, because everyone is  checking stats of players, so will you leave the players with no stats to play with you, I think thay you will not.And also if they get into a noob game they will probably  be banned for beeing pro in noob game never mind they stats is 0.

Post by: FatalityMk on March 11, 2010, 19:56
ye niceguy, that is true :P but still there are people that leave even if they played 10-20 games at pd.eu

You all people argue about pluggers. For some reason my connection was/is sometimes very unstable. I contacted my ISP provider, tried to settle some issues with them, they even came to my home and made all kinds of stability and noise test and everything worked well, though I get disconnect again. I can't predict when it'll happen and it never happens when I start raging or dying.

So, sudden DC after death = PLUG, as well as sudden DC after flaming your team and blaming them for being noobs/retards etc.
