Title: Banning dced players.
Post by: ArizaelCZ on May 14, 2010, 11:54
So after some break i see that game owner is able to ban people who lost connection again. So now if i'll loose connection without having current stats 12/4, most hosts will ban me for plugging.

Why did you change this? Most times you can't realy tell if the perosn plugged or not, so we will get huge increase of ban requests. Also if host abuses this it's hard to punish him.

Its better now , cause all pluggers will be BANNED for sure.
And those who didnt plugged but get ban should wrote unban req.
More pluggers banned , less work for mods - everyone happy.

Even if you get disconnected of any reason (power cut off, network provider), you still leaving game witch comes unbalanced since then.
Ofcourse if it wasnt your fault you should not get banned 10 days.
However would be good to see warns for players with unstable internet.

Abusers are punished. 'Banning for no reason', is a reason for them to get banned or warned.

My point is that when you loose connection you get automaticly banned unless the host has some brain. However i doubt that he will ever get punishment for it(unless you get dc when you are hitting 500 hp throne).
Remember he can always do !drop and !bl even when minor lags occurs, for example if he doesnt like the player.

Sure if you got real dc mods will unban you. The problem is that you need to take your time to spam unban forum,and mods need to give their tam to read it and watch replay (hard to solve if he plugged or dced). And in the meantime u are banned and u cant play.....

Its double edge man.
Real DCed players are only 10% maybe less.
Better to ban all plugers and sometime make report on host who ban with no reason like DCed players (not plugers)
I used to !drop players about after 20 seconds when drop screen apears and its higly possible that player wont back.

In this method we have much less plugers becouse to create BN account you have to create e-mail first... thats take time and pluger must realize its a waste of time.

Well I must agree with this. Now its practicaly worthless to plugg,since you get immidieataly banned and creating new accounts = no stats = kick from most games.
