the spammer.

The spammer is back, he/she appears to be totally determined to destroy DXMP through spamming and abusive behaviour. He obviously has a script that says "*loving* Useless homosexual" or something, he drove the players out of Altfire just now.

Furthermore, I suspect he is using proxies to evade bans.

I suggest either using more "effective" i.e. malicious code on the servers, or, giving all FGS members moderator rights on all the FGS servers, in addition to any trusted 3rd parties. This would allow us to ban each new IP on sight, with far greater coverage than can be managed presently.

3 topics started on this now. Fgs admins are doing what they can atm to try and stop idiots like this. I kick/ban him every time I see him as does Nobody. He was on 2 hours ago I kicked him loads of times then he never came back till I had left...I cant be there 24/7 to kick him out so until there is a fix just try to ignore him!

No, but my suggestion is that with greater coverage (i.e. FGS membership with mod capabilities) it would be somewhat more effective. In the meantime, he can't be ignored on some servers like Karkys.

more moderators for the server then yes but the fact is kick or ban this person his ip changes straight away on any server he spams on and rejoins straight away...no win situation atm even if all FGS members filled the servers with just him ready to ban/kick him it would still happen! as for non fgs servers well they have the same problem. It does need sorting tbh and quick!

Actually, every single FGS is a Moderator in FGS Altfire server.
Since you're on trial I suppose you cannot see the topic where it mentions the password.

I guess I wouldn't mind PMing you the Moderator pass if no one has a problem with it. :oops:

Okay, do it.
I'm also modified the Mod Mutator so it can write to the extended IP ban table up to entry 100.

Was required, cos the 50 entry long ban-list was full and I extended it with my patch to 100.
A modification of Moderator.u was required so it can access the array elements > 50

Oh well, thanks I guess. :oops:
Sounds awesome. :-D
I guess I shouldn't have protected it.. but guess it's for security purposes for this one though. :---)

Didn't know this, but good idea, seems like a lot of members didn't know this or forgot in server. It's embarassing when you can do nothing for players that are asking.

Yes, it is protected but that was no problem since I didn't recompile the mod, just haxed it to be working. 8-[

I tend to move this debate more into this topic, because the spammer could read it in the DeusEx forum too..

So, you got any further information Chees?
I've just banned 40 IP ranges over the past two hours.
If that's ging on, he got what he wants because I banned everyone else too. :evil:

I'm really considering to disable the chat function if that doesn't stop.

Whoever it is you can bet your ass he has some serious real life issues, they all come out in the end with big apology threads and explanations. If you've been in this community long enough you'll know what I mean. :-({|=

I had a friend from Iran when I was younger who had a moustache coming through when he was like 10.
