Subnet ban:Dbanns a radius of the area around that place, so if the I.P did change... it wouldnt matter.
Hmm, that is interesting, didn't know that lol.

Its supposidly a freelancer anti cheat system(Server side id assume). But if a hacker is telling you to use a certain anti cheat system then its advice which isn't coming from a believable source.

You can't go around banning ip ranges for the simple reason that you could also be banning inocent members of the community which use the same ISP.

Then the innocent should come to the forums and contact the admin, so they can unban that specific IP....
Flames are coming I can tell.

Banning half the server to stop one hacker is a stupid tactic. Its like using a rocket to kill an ant.

I'm with you on this on Stucuk. You can't simply punish the entire crowd to stop one person, it isn't fair and it forces someone into a position of having to sort a situation they were forced into by actions not of their own.

It's also unfair that this hacker can ruin the game for everyone else, something has to happen.

Alright Capt.
Lets say you're enjoying your game and then, "Oh noes, haxors!" and you start dying. Now, the admins show up *plays superhero music* *People cheering* and they start smiting the hackers one by one. Then, all of a sudden, you go offline. When you try to log back in, it says "lollerz uz are banned!!"
So now what? You talk to the Admins, beg for them to unban your account, but they can't because the Hackers use the same subnet mask. "Sorry Capt., we can't unban you and risk having these hackers come back, you'll have to wait a few days."
Now don't tell me you wouldn't be at least a little hacked off. As Stucuk said, and his metaphor was the best..."Don't kill an ant with a rocket."

And also, Abaddon, I don't really like your suggestion of rolling out the red carpet and welcoming these hackers to come back whenever they feel like it.
