Aerys Posted May 25, 2002 Posted May 25, 2002 I started a thread where people could share the IP addresses of punks who deliberately tried to crash servers, yet the thread appears to be gone. What possible reason could have caused this thread to be deleted? Its not as if I were posting people's names and addresses on the internet, but sharing information with other server admins that could help protect against hackers and server crashers.
MatrixCPA Posted May 26, 2002 Posted May 26, 2002 I didn't delete it--not that I could have anyway. My guess is the admins didn't want peeps ips being made public. *shrug*
Dilvish Posted May 26, 2002 Posted May 26, 2002 I would imagine that as the Powers that Be may not know you or your veracity, they followed a general policy of removing all posts such as that. Why? There is no 100 percent rock solid way of proving that what people post as "crashers" and "cheaters" are truly that: they could be "This guy owned me so I'm going to make sure he's banned from all the servers I can!" or "This guy dumped me so I'm going to go up and make sure he's banned from all the servers I can."

mInk3nine Posted May 27, 2002 Posted May 27, 2002 i think matrix is right. would you like your IP posted regardless if you cheat or not? There are other things people can do with your IP besides just banning you from a game server. think about it...
Aerys Posted May 27, 2002 Author Posted May 27, 2002 Yeah, you're right. We need some other, trusted way to share Admin info.
