@Paris said in Fate's Harvest BETA Live (Full Open Soon):
@Arkandel You can use known IPs and make it clear they are not welcome. If they try to circumvent this, add their current one and yank them off the grid. (IMO, trying to circumvent a ban should put a player on the shitlist.)
If someone thinks they're banned in error, they are always welcome to discuss it with headstaff.
Imo, to avoid blocking out innocent players, that list needs to be as narrow as possible. Edit: that risks the player showing up again, but they usually out themselves eventually with the behavior that earned the initial ban.
Known means nothing though. Rogers is my ISP right now, and so are literally millions of people in my city alone; it's trivial to switch to a different IP within the same block by cold booting my modem even without any more technically involved approaches.
It's just a crapshoot. IMHO if talking to the player first and letting them know they're no longer welcome doesn't work, and they continue to try and log on, you're in for a ride.
