Doesn't take long for you guys to fall off the rails, does it? MTN already explained it in the previous Aceflyer lynchmob thread if you cared to read.

Irregardless, I think this whole "having L Y N X netbanned for 2 hours" was completely blown out of proportion by people who have nothing better to do than to sit around gossipping like a bunch of old ladies. I'm not defending him by any stretch of the imagination. Both he and nighthawk !@#$%^&*ed up. But the network admin have already dealt with the situation. So why the need to take out the knitting needles and dwell on it?

When I read Ghetto D's post in this thread, I broke into hyterics. Why, you ask? Because I realised that Stukie is Keira, AKA charis; who is not only a guy, but this guy. Good times.

Is there any chance you could start acting your age and stop whinging about everything Jon "Aceflyer" Arbuckle does? The petty rift between you two is exhausting to watch.

I swear by Kaspersky Internet Security. Been running that !@#$%^&* for almost two years and my system is still in pristine condition despite all the porn sites I frequent.

Quite certain its the fan on your GFX card. Theoretically it should probably be making the same lawnmower sounds for other games. A little cleaning may just sort that out.

Generally, all instances of cheating are given a year long netban. That part about minimum durations is rarely followed as anyone who cheats knows the consequences. I don't see why you're complaining though, Bak. Last I heard, Hyperspace banfreed you moments after you were netbanned because of your !@#$%^&*istance in it's development. So all in all, you've already got a pretty good deal.

This thread has proved three things to me: 1. Kn|ght has a penis and wishes to use it for purely heterosexual activities. 2. X`terrania resents Kn|ght because his own penis is mounted between his shoulders where his head should be. 3. It makes for a very short memory. That is all.

What can I say, PoL'? With a higher percentage of the population comes a higher percentage of idiocy. I kept an eye on these developments because the person you know as Cre> was also a regular player in TW, and I was curious to know whether I would be maintaining local blocks against him. Unless freakmonger was wrong about what he saw him do under the name tuL that eventuated in the netban, your character witness means diddly squat.

It becomes a matter of trust. They may be a high level BanG operative in their primary zone, but can you really trust them not to screw things up in your own? What happens if they are fired from their primary zone? Do you want to risk a rogue operative stalking across the network? This is why you have L0's anyway. If their role wasn't only about resolving netban tickets, it'd be quite easy for them to do exactly what it is I've been attempting with my jury rigged setup. Of course a network wide aliasing system couldn't go astray in that regard... But again, pipe dreams. We make do with what resources we have.

Hypocrite

I find it rather pathetic that some zones find it offensive that people would dare advertise for other zones. As if players didn't have sensibility to make up their own minds about where to play. That is disregarding the fact that it's all the same game. Come to Trench! You can advertise whatever zone you like so long as you don't spam! Huzzah!

Yeah. If anything, I'm meticulous. Not gay however.

I !@#$%^&*ure you it was no E-card

I'd be lying if I didn't find it hilarious that it only took a few moments for even a non-SSC operator to know you're a waste of air, Disappaininthe!@#$%^&*. Make like your name and disappear already.

Don't be angry at MTN, X'terrania. He didn't believe me when I first told him you were a tool.

I've been after a raise for the last two years. You see, I work for a freight train company which used to be owned by the government once upon a time. At that time, employees could undertake as many training courses as they could, and upon completion they would move up a pay level for the knowledge they had attained. Since being privatised though, those employees still retain the pay level they had aquired, but it was made exceedingly difficult for newer employees such as myself to go up a pay level due to industrial reforms, changes in classification, and tightarse management who would rather save the dollars in their budget to build their own end-of-year bonus. So as it stands, I am not only as competant as the other guys in my office, but have even demonstrated certain skills that even my supvervisor does not have. I even do his job when he is on annual leave. Yet I remain on the lowest paid level in the company. I could be making another 20K atop what I already earn if they would just match me to the same level as my immediate collegues.

Since Priit wasn't so kind as to leave a user guide laying around for BanG, there have been certain things we've had to figure out on our own. I'm sure you're all familiar with the dreaded common mid. They are even more of a !@#$%^&* to cope with when one appears in a netban. They create much unneccesary work for you, trying to find an alternative to banfreeing a bevy of users, or having to remove the mid altogether. !@#$%^&*uming you create these bans locally before copying them to the network list, it pays to check the banID, specifically the Users with same ID: field. If the number of users with the same mid is significantly greater than the number of users with the same IP, or if the number with the same mid is stretched over more than two timezones, chances are you have a common mid on your hands. In these cases it's better to leave the IDdata active on the netban to avoid having as many caught in that netban because of the mid. I don't know how it actually works because my predecessors had less of an idea, but despite it's inability to block the IP if the mid is changed, it moreoften than not will still allow users of the common mid to access the network. Hence you would be helping out BanG admin, whose work I assume is comprised mostly of common mids needing removed. Even if your guy does evade the netban, the more evasions you ban with IDdata, the harder it gets for your target player to cir!@#$%^&*vent them (as I hope was the case with passive+). This might be a case of the "Duh" for some older Netops, but I know there are quite a few of you out there who hadn't thought of it before. I just felt compelled to post about this as it there is yet another example of these common mid netbans (2301) recently made that has 229 nicks across 9 different timezones blocked. As fortune would have it, I have the same target banned with IDdata days beforehand that can replace 2301 should MG not have the IDdata active on their local copy. On a side note, I have been collaborating with SuperGM007 and a few other BanG Ops across the network to maximise our effeciency in keeping those undesirables in check. This involves the pooling of banlists, with which you can then cross reference against your own. There was once talk of a web interface for aliasing across the whole network, but we're all fully aware of the speeds at which these projects take shape, so this is possibly the next best thing to it. PM me if you're interested in combining your powers with us, Captain Planet style, or even if you have no idea what the !@#$%^&* I'm talking about and want to find out.

Issue resolved, albeit temporarily methinks.

That wasn't so hard, was it? I just find it frustrating when people expect their minds to be read. A little common sense goes a long, long way. !@#$%^&*uming your primary nick is actually Kingfish, there is little connection you have to that ban. In all honesty it shouldn't be blocking you at all despite my updating the machine ID of that ban on the 26th.

All it takes is a set of eyes to read the Information dialogue to tell you where to go. If certain people are posting in the wrong places about it [cough cough], they must be illiterate at best.

Chances are I'd have looked at it already had I a clue who in the blazes he is and what any of his ban IDs are. But I don't.
