New weapon in the mods arsenal!

[Jeffery]

Ok, in case a few people missed it, the latest update included several things. one of them was the ability for Mods to boot spammers and such from the server.

So i asked for a test of the ability.


Well, it works beautifully. And not only is it a boot from the server, or even a ban on the name. It's an IP ban for the person booted!

I am assuming (and hoping) it is only a temp ban.

Moral of the story, don't piss off the mods anymore. They CAN dump your spamming ass.


BTW- Any certain favorite admin want to unban me?

[Soda]

mmmmm....you asked for it....

[marijuana]

lol..harsh..

[Warcow]

huzzah! Justice at last!!!!

[Jeffery]

mmmmm....you asked for it....
Literally.

[Panda Socks]

Lies!

[Realist]

This is a really great ability.

So if someone's spamming, and I'm on, just IM me. :bigsmile:

I'm sure I'll eventually get quite annoyed with this. But for now, its cool. :)

[Warcow]

Can you boot someone while they're in game?

[Realist]

Interesting question. I suspect so, but I haven't tried it yet. If so, this could be a useful tool against intentional jumpers in a tournament setting.

[BaxVarlet]

Would be funny if they have the power to IP ban in game without having the power to ban. I'd also be curious to see if a mod can ban another mod, or themselves.

I'd test that for you, but it will have to be tomorrow. ;)

:yahoo: This is what I've been waiting for... :bigsmile:

[Dove]

Awesome!

Thanks be to the Great Admin!

[Hugh Junit]

I'm probably a bit TOO excited about this new feature, but it really was deperately needed.
The end of spam is near.
:cool:

Uh oh. I smell a power trip coming on.

[Hugh Junit]

Uh oh. I smell a power trip coming on.

I feel I must make an example of you, old friend. Remember, you asked for this.

/kick Northwind

This hurts me more than it does you, but I believe it's necessary for the good of the community. The ban is only temporary, so don't worry about your acc...

Hey! This new command doesn't work at all. I knew it was too good to be true.

* kicks computer desk and fractures big toe *

[uniquinous]

i'm quite confident that all our mods know how to use their new abilities. I would just move for more lobby presence, especially since we have a recent loss :(

[Lonely Tylenol]

Imagine... Kickbanning someone for cheating in the middle of the act...

[Megabyte]

Uh oh. I smell a power trip coming on.


it has been long in coming

[Hellblazer]

Sweet! Spammers will be almost no more with this upgrade.

[ReTodd]

Can the administrators/moderators check for the content of what is being said in the lobby? Will this cut down the amount of highly offensive attacks/ignorance?

[kegsworth]

I was playing my lil brother yesterday, trying to give him 'the feel' for the game. Turns out he's decently good (still newbish, but good).

That's besides the point though. I was in the process of handing him his butt when he started talking smack, I forget what he and I were saying but he started spamming in-game. After about two seconds of it, he got booted and could'nt login.

Is this one of the new features? If so, I havent heard about it yet, or is that the same thing Jeff was reffering to?

[Bottle]

Now we just need to arrange it so that there is a mod online and IMable at every point in the day. :)

[Learz]

Yay! Now all the spammers on Arma will disappear!

...except there are never any mods on Arma...

:dry:

Oh well... *wink*

[Twelve]

AWESOME.

I request the mods to visit GL on a regular basis, which seems to be a haven of spammers of cyberers.

[Hydrant]

this is sweet

this is incentive to play more

[speaker4thedead]

Sounds really usefull

That is real nice. But the thing is, we already have this thing that boots them anyways if they spam too much. Or did they take that off?

This is a new feature yes, if you spam too much you get booted with a 2 hour ban.

lol thanks for the info Jeff. :p

[crack class a]

awsome! if i ever see a mod online in aim ill tell them right away with pleasure.
:bigsmile:

[_Thunder_]

Hmm i need attention..

[Moose]

I'm surprised Seed gave out that kind of power, after the Kuban incident back in 03 he told me (yes the real Seed) he was never making Mod's have powers like that in TAO, I guess Bills finally embeded enough cash into his pocket to make him say otherwise.

[Matt 34.5]

To Army!!! *charges*

[Jeffery]

Ok. Update on the new weapon. Upon further testing, the following things have been proven.

A Mod can kick someone while they are in a game.
Whoever is kicked loses stats as if they DC'ed.
Whoever remains in the game receives stats as if it was a win.
If you have multiple accounts on the server at the time of the kick, only the one account is actively DC'ed. However, the IP ban is set. So if you disconnect the remaining account(s) from the server, you will be unable to reconnect.

[ko71991]

Aww, damn. Does that mean I can't tease Max anymore?

[max2k106]

/random

Sorry I couldn't get there in time to test it out w/ you Jeffery. I only found out about this 10 minutes ago.

Anyways, I'll get on it Jeff.

[ko71991]

Max, get on Army. Test it on me. I dare you. :)

PLEASE TELL ME YOU CAN KICK CYBER'ERS ??????? :)

[Soda]

PLEASE TELL ME YOU CAN KICK CYBER'ERS ??????? :)

Don't kick me..... :(

Few people, however, are aware of the OTHER new weapon in the mod's arsenal. (http://www.johnsguns.us/images/m16.jpg)

[Dimplex]

Glam was just online in Revelation...he wanted to try out the new mod powers too...so I volunteered, little did I know it was an IP ban :p So if a mod could get right on unbanning me, that would be super.(cosmo88)

[Soda]

Lol you noob, isn't only for 2 hours??

[I BEAT MATHEWS]

:eek: Im not going to mess with any mods :eek:

[Dimplex]

Yes. :p

[yall are ded]

This is a very good thing because I hate the people who spam ingame then change like one letter every 4 repetitiuons. Very good:)

[x-useme]

So basically, now we HAVE TO suck up to the mods :dry:

[Swordz]

Oh, this is cool... if the mods have the power to temp. ban people, are they allowed to do it for cyberers or cheaters too? (When I say cheaters, I mean 'press f5' ect.) Because that kind of stuff is EXTREEMLY annoying...

[007 GOD]

what are some other updates?

[Warcow]

FURTHER TEST RESULTS!

A mod is unable to kickban someone whois not currently online.

THAT IS ALL AT THIS TIME.

RECAP-
Mods can kick any person online, whether in game or out. If a person is in game, they lose stats, and opponent gains stats. All kickbans result in temporary IP ban. Temp bans do not grow in length after repeated bans. Mods can not kickban anyone who is not currently online.

[*ace*]

Lies!
LOL LOOK WHO GOT BANNED good observing jeffery, thats probolly why your our god.

I hurried over to this thread after I felt a disturbance in the force. Luckily, the force was just having indigestion from burrito night at the Jedi enclave.

Good news, this is. Bring balance to the game, surely it must.

[ricardu]

Nice one Sergyi, now the mods need just to be more active, like it is really hard to see a mod on gl (since aro stopped be so active( regularly, mods go just to revelation, now you gotta job on others servers, thugs.
