Heh, this is just some crazy idea I got from checking the SL bot by Chill. It seems like No matter what your IP is(and ofcourse you don't change ISP), the information you get(or some useful information) from useing the +whoisRi command in SL, can it be possible to use this information to ban/block a user forever?
If you people start to say it's impossible, then how about this idea =
When a user connect, the command(or the function it is doing) +whoisRI is runned automatically and the information is saved to a text file and from this text file the the script look for a certain information, if this information is found and match a information in another text/dat file, then the user will get disconnected.
Anyway, if it would be possible, this would be a great way to keep away some of the worst fakers and rule breaker even if they change their IP.
sure it's possible.. but requesting the info on every new user may cause some serious lag
plus.. you want to ban the whole ISP because of one faker?
or what other information did you have in mind?

I had in mind to block a single user(or serveral if there are more fakers I want to block), not the whole ISP.
But I don't think it's a problem with the bandwith for me, I have 10Mbit internet and my hub is small, so I will be ok.
So it would be really nice if someone could make a script which could do this :)
Please, could anyone try to make a script like this? I would be very grateful if someone did it :)
Hi,
For banning the faker like you want you will banned the a whole ISP range and thats is not fair to other users that aren't fakers and are using the same ISP. Mots of the IPS are always changing IP of the users then the faker could be entering with a different IP.
Best regards, nErBoS
Mac address banning would be a good idea but even then Mac addresses can be cloned.

Yup I agree, unfortunatly you will never know a persons Mac address...(its not transmited with ip)
Now I do think there are trojans that can accomplish this but we dont want to be looking into that now do we?

OK, I know that the following is not a 'guaranteed' way to block that one user, but it's an option.
I use DC++k CMD along with the normal DC++ to check clients and 'forbidden files'.
Should I encounter a user that I very much dislike entering the hub, I use the following procedure with acceptable results.
I check the filelist of that user for
any file or folder that has a 'specific' misspelling or marking. Nearly every user has such a file or folder.
All I have to do is place that info as a forbidden file in ADL-Search and have CMD kick that user for the forbidden file.
Worst case scenario is that some user might have copied the exact same thing. Well, that I believe to be acceptable.
Not acceptable would be (as said earlier) is blocking an IP range due to one person.
