Admin Notice: Server hosting and denial of service attack

[Zack]

What confuses me is if the admin can ban us by our IP addresses, then why not have players send our IP address to admin via private message and in return admin sends us a password to a server. If your not a fully pledge player and writer on this (or another official) forum, then there is no access allowed.

This doesn't solve the problem with these kinds of attacks, whether access is allowed or not, the black-hat just "clogs the tubes" leading to the server, so to speak--it needs to be taken care of by the ISP of the server.
