Help plz....... Banning people

(_NeT_WalBanger) #1

Hi…

I need some help on Banning someone off our server…
We have tried to ban this guy already but he has a 56k connection so IP always changes…
When we ban him using his ID key (or what ever its called, sorry i dont know much about this, fellow clan mate keeps trying to ban him) he has said to other people he just goes into PB and types something like sv_Unban and he can enter the server again…

Its getting stupid now he just comes on server causeing so much s**t, we have kicked him about 300 times, 1 day i personally kicked him and he reconnected 2mins later and i kicked again and he rejoined etc, for like 2hrs this happened.
We even Changed servers and he still followed :’(…

So how do we perminatly ban someone plz? as hes not taking the hint.

OK, first up - you can’t permanently ban anyone in ET.

He gets around the GUID ban by getting a new GUID ( easy to do, can’t be stopped ).

There are SEVERAL things you can do to get rid of arseholes like this ( I’ve been there before ):

  • If they’re TK’ing, install shrub-mod on your server and use the auto-tk-kick @ 25% or similar. They’ll have a hard time after that. ( ETPro has no anti-TK measures ). If you want to use ETPro, you’ll have to manually ban them.
  • If they’re aliasing and calling votes on people while TK’ing ( TK hunter tactic ), make sure PB is enabled, and give a 10-sec warning then a kick-ban on dupname.
  • If they’re getting new GUID’s constantly, you could try setting minguidage to 2 or 3 days - it’s enough that they get X-day bans that they can’t get around. SiliconSlick/ND80 and crew have been playing with that on their servers, seems to work for them.

dupname, minguidage and the possible autotkkick of shrub are just about guaranteed to keep the griefers off your server - it just becomes wwaaaayy too much hassle for them to even try :).

Its not that hes TKing, just mouthing off 24/7 and after 3 weks of warning him he we decided to kick and bann him, he came on 30mins later…

We used to have shrub and i like shrub best its so much more fun than Pro, but we have change over to pro now.

Ah, gotcha. Is it that he spams MM1 ( message mode 1 - global chat ) wth stupid messages or spams MM2 with vsays constantly?

Because you can limit how many of those per unit of time you can do…

Or do you just in general not like him? :???: It’s actually a hell of a lot harder to permanently get of somebody if they don’t do anything bad, haha - go figure… :wink:

not really spamming…

But he says things like… My team are Shit, My teams full of Noobs… all the time at the end of every map (yep his team always seems to lose, councidence??? lol) and during the game roughly every time he dies (which is a lot)
He just mouts off all the time like when he called me a “F***ing Noob” cause i TKed him with a panza when there was 2 engineers fixing the tank and he was still planting a mine, at the START of goldrush (i killed them as well ;))… They would defenetly have stolen the tank but hey what do i know. (where isnstead he shhould of asked whyu i tked him if he didnt know)

P.S how can you kick people with a ^ in front there name??? hes started doing that now.

I think that’s fixed in ET Pro. But that’s prolly not much help if you don’t want to use it.

If someone is persistant in avoiding bans, you can complain to their ISP. Be sure to have the IP and time available, so they can match it to a specific user, and make logs available on request.

Bypassing a ban is unauthorized access to a computer system, which is a violation of most ISPs TOS, and various laws. Check the ISPs website for an abuse contact.

If that fails, you can use a firewall to block the entire netblock he gets his IPs from. Of course, this risks blocking innocent users as well, especially if it is something large like a /16

Do:
/players in the console. It will give you a list of names and Player ID’s
find the name of the player you want to kick and look at his Player ID
then…
/callvote kick <#>

no its not fixed in ETpro i dont think, but you have to do it in console rather than the menu

like what he said ^
