Project Blackstorm - Shared Bans

After reading this thread, I thought it was a really good idea. So I decided to start developing it as a side project as it's a pretty easy project.

My idea is to create a java snippet for you to implement into your project (as a sample, you could do this any way you wish), so when a GM bans a user, it will also report their IP Address & MAC Address to Project Blackstorm. Each time a user is banned, their IP/Mac gets another point, and with enough points the user won't be able to access any servers.

Each server can set their ban threshold, for example only allowing people with 5 votes and below to play which should be plenty.

I have registered a domain to projectblackstorm.com which will become live within the next 24 hours.

Thanks to chris for the idea, I hope to hear your ideas.

Thanks,
Josh

why don't you post this after your site has been set up?

Because this is the development section, and more progress wil be following shortly? :blink:

Good luck Josh :).

Nice name & domain :love:

Good luck josh.

I actually like this idea, but then again, what purpose would the GMs have if your server was a professional server and the GMs weren't being popularity whores? xD Oh well, still a great idea.

seems to be a good idea
I'd rather not ban IP's tho lol
I LOVE BANNING HACKERS OVER AND OVER AGAIN <33

I think it's just abit to much for "Hackers" and "Private Servers".
Hackers don't do much, except give your GMs something to do.

It's like cbl...but there's only 1 official server for it.

I actually think this is a good idea keep hackers from moving from server. Mostly proxies =S (I dont wanta get into that 2day) I would like my server to send banned ips to that =D sounds very interest well you have my support.

Ya... But thats true, But you have to keep in mind what GMs also do like making events, games, and make it more of a better server. We cant waste time trying to ban hackers when we have a lot more work to do.:tongue:

Lol yeah this is a great idea C:
Good luck on it
