Blacklist of Cheaters/Hackers

[Jibbatwinkers]

If someone really obnoxious shows up on KMRA or Zebuxoruk Mort and I just let each other know and we throw a ban on them on both servers. We've only ever had to do it once and only in extreme cases.

ya i think the serverOP should deal with all there own problems with there population...
and ya, thats a good idea to share known fools to other serverOPs like Mort and Jib did.
but ya... people on servers should be dealt by the owner or GMs of the server.. not EQEmu..

cuz what if someone wants to be a dick on one server and be good on another? ;p

EQEmu is not going to deal with them (unless its an extream situation) I am offering a section of the forum for the OP's to shair the info. There just needs to be some QC over whats posted.

After having to deal with an obnoxious twit just recently , I personally think an area for server Op's to give each other a heads up on not potential problem players , but actual problem players that are a recurring problem is a good idea. Granted , like Mattmeck said before , there will need to be some QC on whats posted. I know it's going to be a pita , but Ill say it anyway ... maybe if the section was limited to server op's it would cut down on the QC aspect , rather then having it in the general public. Just my random thoughts..

I was just thinking of what a maintenance nightmare this would be. The forum admins job would become unbearable... do you know how many servers come and go? While it would be great, I am not sure it's something they'd be interested in doing. Unless, somehow, it was tied to the account that sets up a server - but then, anyone could go setup a server, gain access, and see what the secret society is saying.

Lose:Lose scenario, I am afraid. Maybe someone offsite from eqemulator.net could host something like this? I could, but even I am not that interested in changing access every week.

Actually this would be easy for me since I could code a .NET FTP program with write access that would update the list whenever anyone ran the program with a notepad full of data. If you want something like this coded let me know.

Only server ops will have access to the program password to update it.

Good Idea....
Seeing anything like this actually working would be impossable to maintain
because of the abuse most of the players maintain thuout Servers.
Most anyone can boot up a shard and say there a servop.
I recommend they have a shard up at least 2 years to access the database
with Verified web site to boot.
I have always used disallow there IP from accesing the server box.
and it seems to work out good but they still hit my webserver untill I ban them there 2.
