Author Topic: Stupid admins at theportalmaster's winter bite  (Read 3880 times)

You're banning kids from a game because they can't figure out how to use your crude command line utility on the first try without making any mistakes.  Why not just add some basic filtering and error checking?  A computer program should not be doling out bans based on something as subtle as a username.  Consider the following two examples:

Code: [Select]
John Smith joined the game
/setname John Smith
<banned>
This user is a normal person and is shocked at encountering such a hostile environment.  He will likely not return even from a temporary ban.

Code: [Select]
xX--Qw1kSk0p3--Xx joined the game
/setname carrot B cigarettegins
carrot B cigarettegins: perpar ur star fish
This user is experienced with hostile environments because he creates them everywhere he goes.  He will wait out the temporary ban so that he can return and inflict suffering on others.  In fact this user will be highly attracted to this game mode because of the obscure rules that result in severe user punishment.

I just would like to state that I respect you very much so.

haha oh wow

The host enabled the auto ban mod, Charles, not all of the admins but a portion of the population.

The chat mod comes with the auto-ban. It cannot be disabled, a feature which Lugnut will add.
