Stuff Understood

Tommy · 2009-09-24T11:42:00Z

Wabbit explained to me the other night some things that I never knew about banning people that will make it much easier to do so now. It is good to know how to do something, but better to understand exactly what it is that you are doing. From this point on I should have a lot less trouble getting rid of the assholes. I will explain this for the benefit of those reading this. Someones I.P. is: 23.254.58.213 (completely made up I.P., just hit numbers) Each section seperated by a period is called an "Octet." (Thanks for the name _J). When we put a /# after it, it tells the router or whatever how many octets to look at. These are in multiples of 8. Thus, if I do a: 23.254.58.213/8 Then all I.P's in the 23.254.58.* range will be banned. If I do a: 23.254.58.213/16 Then all I.P's in 23.254.*.* Will be banned. If I do 23.254.58.213/24 Then 23.*.*.* will be banned. If you are understanding this, then you know if I do: 23.254.58.213/32 Then *.*.*.* will be banned, at which point after I hit save, I will have to call the data center and tell then that I just banned the entire internet and lost access so that they can charge me 100 dollars to remove the line from my routers ban file. Easy peasy (don't bother R Mad, it's a made up word, the translator will smoke). So now when we need to ban these fucks I can just throw a /8 at them, and if that doesn't work, a /16. Obviously, this can very easily be abused, so I will continue to be the only one doing this. From this point on, when someone see's the SS guys or memetic on the server, they need to create a post in this format: [BAN REQUEST] blah blah blah Just make sure the [BAN REQUEST] is in the subject line, then I will give it my prompt attention. Find what these guys are using now and I will deal with it. This format is only for people who we already know we need to ban. Just create regular threads for people we need to discuss. If we do this, the SS guys and Memetic can be gone before the weekend comes. :) Tommy

Same style of play, and knew where everyone was and tried really hard to get wave. Couldn't see him because wave was in a secret and still got him.

This IP is Bell Canada, so I am assuming it is him. I will place the ban tonight.
