Ban Evading Y/N?

#1

Post by Samurai » Sat Feb 20, 2016 5:30 pm

So today I'm playing priv in Stipsi's Private IDL server, and guess who connects? Yes, everybody's favourite 'RCON abusing exploiter' Galactus. Isn't this guy supposed to be banned still, apparently so yet he is still joining the server, and apparently can also access GV servers too...

So I join #staff to bring it up:

Code: Select all

16:57  <Swift>	Galactus
16:57  <Swift>	they're letting you ban evade?
16:57  <Galactus>	17:42:42  <Galactus>	Yoyoyoyo friends I can join a server that's on the masterserver
16:57  <Galactus>	17:42:44  <Galactus>	pls fix kthx
16:57  <Galactus>	17:42:52  <Galactus>	also pls no perma ban cuz I'm not ban evading
16:57  <Swift>	you should leave the server
16:57  <Galactus>	Why
16:57  <Galactus>	I'm technically not doing anything wrong
16:57  <Swift>	because it's ban evading
16:58  <Galactus>	not rly
16:58  <Galactus>	it's the master server being broken
16:58  <Galactus>	a couple of days ago I could also join uk gv
16:58  <Swift>	you're exploiting it
16:59  <Galactus>	idk this seems pretty harmless tbh
16:59  <Galactus>	not my fault ppl can't code their shit
16:59  <Swift>	nah, it's ban evading
17:00  <Swift>	you shouldn't even be attempting to join a server
17:00  <Galactus>	No ban evading would be if I used a program to deliberately ban evade
17:00  <Galactus>	I'm not doing that
17:00  <Swift>	and you're exploiting the fact that there is a bug with some server
17:00  <Galactus>	It's the master server not doing it's job, just like a couple of days ago where I could join uk gv
17:01  <Galactus>	I might be exploiting the fact that I can join this server right now, but it is in no way my fault that I can
17:01  <Galactus>	If I'd really be ban evading than it'd be completely my fault
17:02  <Galactus>	i'm not the one trying to evade my ban, it's the master server not registering my ban in stipsi's server
It takes a while for staff to finally respond and take action, but it's sad that this has even been able to happen in the first place. Personally for me this is ban evading, and should be treated as such. I'm tired of all these pathetic bullshit excuses of 'It's not my fault, there is a bug in server'. Why are you even trying to connect to servers knowing you are still supposed to be banned, never mind actually gaining access and playing them? It's a slap in the face to all the clean players around here that you are sat here exploiting the system and pretty much getting away with it^

Initially I was defending Galactus, but damn, that really doesn't help your case dude...

edit: For the record, yes, that is ban evading. Same thing happened to Ral and his ban got extended.

First he exploited a client bug. Then he exploited the admins' generousity and dodged a lengthy ban. Now he's exploiting the fact that his current IP isn't on the banlist yet. You give him an inch, he takes a yard. And then a mile.

It's like if he escaped prison and said "Hey, they left my cell open and nobody was watching me, that basically means they want me to be free now!".

Normally I don't give a shit about who gets masterbanned because it really doesn't affect me, but LOL I say bump Galactus's ban length up to a year now just because I wanna see him cry about it.

Ban evasion. The user under the ban is supposed to be unable to play.
Regardless if it's the master acting up or not, the user takes that risk by joining a master broadcasted server under a ban. Should be common sense.

Why do people even evade using their real nicks?

If I evaded just to be able to play the game, I would have at least used the name "Player" and not talked to anyone, much less brag to everyone on IRC that I found some kind of loophole in my punishment. I realize aliasing is frowned upon in priv, but he probably should have played somewhere else if he was dumb enough to evade and at least wanted to get away with it.

My servers are broadcasted on the masterserver, so yeah it's ban evading.

I was late for the precedent drama so I didn't know if I could trust or not this guy. Now I have the certainty.

So the verdict is a 3 month extension to his current ban, whenever that ends.

Congrats Galactus...

Here I thought that Galactus would be a good guy and take his punishment for exploiting a bug like a champ.

Apparently, he's basically doing the exact same thing: Exploiting stuff. And I agree with Cata here; I was sort of defending Galactus in a way for exploiting a bug for satire. Apparently, he's completely ignoring what has happened before, so for that I say: Admins, cleanup time! (of which; good job!)

What part of "You've been BANNED for an X amount of time from the master server." is so difficult to understand?

Everyone's already come to the conclusion already, but just a friendly reminder from staff so we can end this on a solid note:

http://zandronum.com/forum/announcements.php?aid=17

We're still discussing ban lengths and punishments, but this part is pretty straightforward.
Ban evasion automatically warrants a 3 month extension to your existing master ban. It doesn't matter whether you knew you were evading or not, or whether it was "accidental" or not, or whether it was because of a bug or not.
(And if it was because of a bug, to broadcast it loudly and then continue playing? Really?)

If you step into a server you're supposed to be banned from, there's no second guessing. You're getting booted harder. So don't do that.
Stay sensible, mates.

I think Galactus is actually a good guy who cares about having a better community, seeing how he's doing everything he can to get his unpleasant presence out of here :biggrin:
Now if you can keep it up that would be great!

Welp, Galactus really screwed the pooch. Just because they didn't put your ban on the list yet doesn't mean you're welcome to play. If you still wanna go play some games, go host your own server off the master and invite your buddies. Otherwise, go find something else to occupy your time besides lamenting over a ban you deserved.

Sorry to break the news, but the dropping SSG meme is dead. Now you need to incorporate ban evasion in your avatars.

On second thought, let's not. Let's give attention to people who deserve it, not clowns like this guy.

Seems subjective, I guess it needs to escalate. I say we take it up a notch, why not combine them?
