Betelgeuse is about to explode in approximately 5000 years and become a supernova. Prepare yourself guys.

I was hosting an apartment server, allowing users to own a room and decorate it, when Ravencroft and Betelgeuse joined.
Knowing about betelgeuse's dramas, I was going to kick him / ban, but Ravencroft said he won't do anything.
So, I gave them a chance, gave them a room, and soon enough the server started to lag
I went to see what was happening, only to see betelgeuse spamming 1x1s everywhere inside of the room.
I disabled the duplicator, making it admin only, and the lag stopped.
They said it wasn't the duplicator, it was emitters or some stuff.
Then I enabled it, they duped a bunch more, lagging the server, I tried to ban them, but they left.
The next day (today) I looked in my saves to find this.





So apparently they both were spamming duplication
I didn't really trust betel, but I didn't expect Ravencroft to be doing this
If they come back again, just permaban them both


Ok, but how the hell do I get rid of all these saves
It takes a full minute to open the load/saves now
delete saves/duplications folder

I tried to ban them, but they left.
If they come back again, just permaban them both
To ban people with chat commands, you do /ban 1 [ID] [Ban time] [Ban_Reason]

Just type these two things into the chat on your server: "/ban 1 35110 -1 Lagging_server;_spamming_dups" and
"/ban 1 10130 -1 Lagging_server;_spamming_dups" to ban Betelguese and Ravencroft for "Lagging_server;_spamming_dups"
(You have to use underscores, spaces won't work for the ban reason.)

I heard you can ban people without underscores by using your console, or am I wrong

A mod Marbleman released on his site. I'm on that site every now and then. You can set a hotkey and when you hit it, it saves whatever you have duplicated. But the twist is that it can make 5000 duplication saves in literally 5 seconds. I appreciate that we have such a skilled scripter in Marbleman, but he's extending his abilities so far that he's created quite a few harmful add-ons.
Unfortunately, it also creates saves to the Host's loads / saves.

I've had it happen to me once but it was like, not that many, so I didn't give a stuff.

delete saves/duplications folder
Unfortunately this. You can either clear the whole thing or try to find and erase any saved duplications.
Someone had used it on me before, but it was to save a Pirate Ship duplication for Mini-Empires.
Honestly Marble Man, you need a script that can make it so people can't get the save tied to you. This is ridiculous.

NoEdit.

Or you can just use the Clear Bricks menu? It's faster.
You can also use the console one, it's also better because you don't use underscores.

Guys its solved, I found the folder.
They saved 1 gb of dups

Ever since basketball started. I don't mind it. Sometimes he provides mindless entertainment.

yeah it's like dumb and dumber

So, Ravencroft and Betel very clearly abused the stuff out of a mod and attempted to crash a server with it; and the topic turns into all fun and games?

Crashing a server on purpose and being caught doing it has resulted in key deactivation in the past.
Too many idiots in this topic.

I released no such mod on my website
