I know what your saying...but at the same time...usually the idiot that gets blacklisted and creates a new account will just spend the first 10 minutes spamming and be blacklisted again if not perma-banned through his i.p.

Well, they did limit the number of topics someone can post a while back. That has helped a lot.

I hate everything, but it's not my fault.

The problem is that there is no way to stop someone permanently if he's dedicated enough. IPs can change, cookies can be erased, and he could even go on someone else's computer even if Bungie.Net could somehow ban an individual computer forever (and I don't see how it could). It's not perfect, but it's the only thing that we have, and it's stupid to say "Well, people can get around it so there's no point." It makes it more difficult, which is often enough, since everyone eventually gets bored.

They use wookies to ban. And it takes a while to fill out the paperwork.

i guess so, what people on b.net should do is comlpetely 100% ignore spammers. that would cut them down to size.


Of course, even if most of us ignore them, they will continue, because they know they're causing a problem, and getting attention for it from a moderator.

Actually on macs there is a computer id which the person who made it can ban forever even if you change ip. That would work perhaps?

Problem is, a lot of Bungie users don't use Macs...really, there is no better way than the way it is now, even if the way it is now is hardly perfect.

Well I am sure most computers have a id on them. And if Achronos wanted he could probally do it.

  • 08.04.2006 10:50 PM PDT
