Server Moderators/Police

[Lythrilux]

It's funny...well, not 'HA!' funny, just 'GAH!' funny.

This thread comes up multiple times a year, every year. For some, it's because they're lazy & don't wanna do their own legwork by using the search button & learning why server cops won't happen.

But Marburg, it's different because "X" made the thread and it should be seriously considered!!!!!

All it will be doing is making more admins. Our admin team is already recruiting people, so that should help.

I'll be blunt, our Admin team is hardly doing anything. They don't understand the commitment. They're also closing people off simply because they're are -afraid- of passing power onto people who may not have X posts or X skype friends and so forth.
Really, it's like having forum moderators except in game.

This but for Disco can solve it. 10 people with unique MACs vote ban and the hacker is gone in less then 2 min.
If one codes it the problem is gone. Hackers cannot be fought with ancient methods by putting people in the game to watch for them.

this could be seriously abused though.
For example, there's one rogue. A completely legit player. But the LNS don't like him because they can't shoot him down, so what do they do? They use their numbers to votekick him.

I bet none would abuse it if he gets all of his ships deleted as result.
Simple problems have simple solutions and you all post too much non-sense instead of something constructive that solves the problems.
Hackers,trolls,spambots are not something new and there are many proven methods to keep them in check. No point of useless posting in the forum- it does not fix the problem. 1 Day MAC tempbans do the job- they change the MAC, lolwut around a bit and get banned in less then 10min again after 3-4th time they get bored and stop doing it.
Single people can easy misjudge but if there is transparent decision to take with many others involved the group acts as corrective of the persons so it fix the problem.

Betting no one would abuse it is a stupid and ridiculous assumption.
I, and many others, have played games with this. It DOES get abused. And based upon the mentality of some of the playerbase I seriously doubt this would go un-abused.

Hey, it's not like people abuse in game mechanics already, right? right!?
