We simply need one. Other mods are blessed with the fact that people can't do much to screw things up. Worst case scenario: someone goes team killing. SourceForts, on the other hand, relies on people working together. When someone can run around hammering the 'r' button and ruin ten minutes of work for everyone on the server, we're bound to have problems.

Devicenull has been kind enough to run the global banlist for all this time, but he now feels it neccesary to shut it down. He makes very valid arguments as to why he is shutting it down, and they make sense. He wants to put pressure on the dev's to fix this problem, and I don't blame him. However, the banlist did help remedy the situation, and I think that it's needed. I think that anyone who remembers the myg0t rush awhile back will agree.


While I was doing some research into this. I found that Devicenull has made his plugin available here. I'm planning on using his plugin for running the banlist. In his explanation as to why he is shutting his down, he provided some tips to people who want to start up a similar system. These all make sense, and I plan on incorporating them. For instance, I'm not going to give anyone the ability to give a global ban. It'll take several bannings from separate servers for the global ban to take effect. Also, evidence is going to be essential. Rather than a few screenshots, it'll take demos showing griefing, freezestatus'ing, and warning the player that his actions can get him a global banlist.

Now, I have not set this up yet (in fact, I have not started) and before I do, I'd like to hear from you... comments/suggestions/concerns?

what does beard taste like?

Its more annoying than anything else when it gets long enough to wind up on your tongue. Since beard hair does not disolve on contact with saliva, it does not really have a taste. Its just think short hairs that end up on the tongue and sometimes try to hide between teeth when they come loose. About the same level of annoyance as the shells you may have left stuck in your mouth after eating popcorn.

A better idea.


Global blacklist. Not banning people. but warning admins about them and possibly make unfreezing/whatever harder for them.


However, to code that is like a computer chair in the ass.

is it possible for devs to encorperate the freezestatus plugin into the source so that unfreezing is recorded in the console as standard, or would is be too much effort to be worth it?

instead of needing to take demos, which a lot of people still dont know how to... it could be acceptable to screenshot the console where the data from the constantly running freeze status thing.

although this would make the console messy for other things, it could work to make it easier to catch greifers.
