We didn't. A ban is not removed from the list when it expires. If it were, the server wouldn't be able to tell when someone has been autobanned for the second, third, or fourth time. After too many autobans, the server issues a permanent ban.
So you're saying that people that get autobanned are on your banlist, but are still able to come back? How does that make sense?
Exactly. One glance at a banlist will reveal that there are several columns in a comma-separated list. The rightmost column lists the expiration date and time for the most recent ban issued to a CD key hash. The column immediately to the left of that shows the number of bans issued to that CD key hash.
Not gonna waste my time on these two. You didn't understand how autoban works, so it's possible you just don't understand certain other complexities, as well. Go take up your King issue with him.
I can't, seeing as how MY IP IS BANNED FROM THE FORUMS. I took it up with him a long time ago. He didn't say anything in his defense, but rather banned me and hoped I'd stop pointing out how much of a totalitarian power-crazed leader he is. He ran away from me. Tough leader, eh?
Name-calling doesn't get you too far in the real world. Imagine what would happen if people treated you the same way on the Internet.
None, as far as I know. I assume there are a few in particular that you're talking about; and as much as I hate to say it, those guys are completely lacking in maturity. One glance at their own forums should be explanation enough of why we don't appreciate their company.
The thing about that is, yeah, their forums are kinda odd. But, whenever someone comes into their forums and bashes them, KNFr pwns them verbally just as easily as KNFr pwns them in Halo; Neither of which any RP is apparently capable of doing.
I suppose "odd" is one word for it, though not the one I would choose. When someone comes to our forums and bashes us, I prefer to resort to more grown-up measures than name-calling and cussing people out. I wouldn't stand for someone to walk up to me and relieve himself on my shoes in real life, and I see no reason to tolerate it anywhere else--particularly not when there's a very simple solution. Mind you, I tried to be nice for probably longer than they deserved on our forums, and even went to the trouble of posting on theirs. They didn't have the courtesy to even try arguing intelligently or admitting their own faults, and after it had been out of hand for a while, King stepped in. I didn't particularly agree with the timing or the exact method, but in the end it seems both sides got what they wanted--not having to put up with each other.
And if you don't want immaturity on your forums, why is Karma still there? All he can do is cuss like a drunken sailor and call people -blam!-.
I don't recall him acting that way in our server even before he joined us; and as far as I know, he hasn't done it since joining RP. You seem to have beefs with a lot of people. Why can't you all just get along? ;)
The only time we ban for botting is when we are able to record video of the botter. We have a thread on our forums dedicated the subject.
(X£)DusK: Hey, are you banned from RP's server?
KNFr¬H²Ø: more than likely
KNFr¬H²Ø: :D
(X£)DusK: lol Why?
KNFr¬H²Ø: b/c i hit too hard
(X£)DusK: rofl
He (King) doesn't have RCON on the Halo server, and never has had it for as long as he's had the game.
Then who banned the KNFr that "botted" King out of his warthog?
I don't know, but it certainly wasn't King. And you know how those guys act; most likely he was booted for a different reason. I haven't bothered checking whether he's actually banned, and I'm not certain whether it would do any good since I don't know when this supposedly happened or whether he was using an alias. In my book, "more than likely" isn't the same as "yes." As far we know based on what you've said so far, he left the game because he felt he'd succeeded in thoroughly thrashing King in Halo (which isn't hard to do, as I'm sure King would admit himself, since he's only recently begun playing Halo).
