1FGR1NightGhost · Post by **1FGR1NightGhost** » Sat Jul 02, 2011 10:26 pm

this guy keeps coming to my clans servers with a hack name (im not gonna say the name cus hes on this website) and it takes up 6 lines (1 line for every letter, + joined) this then causes the server to crash.

example:
b
o
b
b
y
joined

How does he do this and how would i stop him?

As far as I've learned from people who have experience with this problem, it's not possible to stop it.

Ban him by IP.

Its a PC server.

And hes not "realy" hacking, he just causing the server to crash, and hes doing it for quasi-political reasons (game related)

If this is someone here you can feel free to bring this up with site administrators. We expect those who represent Gametoast not to be, well, jerks.

Why not set your server up with a password that only your clan knows?

Maybe 1FGR1NightGhost doesn't feel like giving everyone a password. Who knows?

Its not neccessarily that he is a representative of gametoast (idk if he is in the clan) And its not on gametoast its SWBF2. And i dont wanna piss him of even more than I/we already have

And we try a pw. But nobody has x fire, and only 2/3 join the website and only 1/3 actualy read and post on the website so that never realy works....

Clan or not if this person is an active Gametoast member we expect them to be a courteous player as well. Nobody who purposely crashes a SWBF1/2 server will have any access whatsoever to our site.

Let this be a direct warning to whoever is doing this. If you want to keep your access here you need to stop this nonsense. Now.

Maybe that worked..

Cus now hes not doing it as *****, he now just does it as "=FGR= Is Gay" (<taking up 3 lines), it still crashes our servers, but not anyone elses???

I doubt it. If he is a member of GT, and he saw that, I think he would have said something about GT itself if he was going to "retaliate" or some crap like that.

I really doubt he is a member of GT, we are for the most part very respectful people online, and there are only a couple people I know who are not, and even they wouldn't do something like this. Well, I take that back, there is one person I know who is disrespectful online, and has the ability to do something like this, but I'm not pointing any fingers.

Bottom line, you need your own private server for your clan. Spread the word about it personally if you have to.

Jokes on him for thinking "gay" is an insult. How old is he, five?

Protip:
Run a PC Dedicated.
http://www.lucasfiles.com/?s=&action=file&id=1234

It's fairly simple to set up, you can run it in the background AND play at the same time (or just run it in the background, meaning the host doesn't even have to be there), and you can ban people by IP address so they are not allowed in the server. It also logs everything so you can go back and see who did what.

Also (though you can do this without a PC Dedicated server), you can set up an admin password so higher-ups can manage the server even if the host is away.

Hidden/Spoiler:

Also, what you can do is have the PC Dedicated server be the passworded clan server.  Then have a SECOND server that is public for recruitment purposes.  If the 5 year old crashes the public server, just hop into the private one for a while.  And if your members aren't smart enough to figure out where to find the password for the private, do you really want them in the clan, anyway?

Thanks, the pws seem to stop him.

And hes not 5 (lest i dont think) He is on gametoast, and he is a respected player, and hes a huge following cus of his popular mod.

Knowing the member who you speak of, I highly doubt it's him as even though he does know how, he was much more honor than going around and insulting people in such a blatant manner.

I however think this is pretty funny. check out www.fgrintel.webs.com for some laughs. Here I will copy and paste something from the site.

Details: Upon coming in in force and taking the admin pw, we banned cyk, and shouted some anti-pwn propaganda under the admin chat (which pissed alot of people off =) ); however, cyk used remote manager to bann us all

heres another one

Details: This time, we banned 2 admin (^Shaggydog and ^hopz^(?)<i think..) before changing the map to endor, and shouting even more anti-pwn propaganda/flame. We then shut down the server before it could be recovered by any of the opressors. =)

That kind of dedicated server costs money you know...

It does? Really? Well shoot, ive been running one off my personal PC for years now for free...
Dangit! Why couldn't someone tell me? Who do I make the check out to?

Hidden/Spoiler:

It only costs money to purchase server space from somebody else.  It doesn't cost you a cent to run the program on your own computer.  Well, except for electricity.
