First we have dumbasses going around crashing clients remotely, now we have dumbasses deciding to spam the forums.

Umm... why? What do people stand to gain from this stupidity? Do people really hate our project so much that you'd rather see it go away? Is it to regale your grandchildren with stories of how back in the day you annoyed the hell out of a little open source project of not much consequence, and forced them to shut down little by little? "Gee, Billy, when I was your age, I was out destroying the part time hobby of two virtually unknown random guys on the internet. How cool is that?"

How do we instill either so much hatred in people? I don't get it. I really don't.

It is a real forum, loads shitloads faster than other forums as well (youll see how benefical that is when youre shaped to 64k).

CC_machine, I'm sure he didnt mean it literally, but it is true, most cheaters are the younger generation (see counter-strike for proof of that)

Passa states my point well. After all, who else possesses the lack of maturity needed to think that cheating at sauerbraten would be "fun"?

This is a real forum. I see nothing wrong with this. This is way faster and more secure than crappy phpBB or any other "forums" that are overweight.

I think I'll script one like this for my own use, cause this type of forum is very fast :)

I thought of yet another solution.

No "Deny" list. But an "Allow" list.
When a user who has not been authenticated connects to a server, they are disconnected with message as address to the authentication.

Authentication website allows the user to register and sign in with their current IP. When they sign in, the server checks if the IP has been authenticated and if yes, it allows the user to join the game.

That authentication should be done in-game. And I guess this will require also to block people who try to authenticate too many times (block for some minutes could be enough).

No. Nothing should be done in-game. This is because the game is open source.
Authentication should be only the server thing.

Basically, this is like those torrent sites that need you to login before you could use the tracker with your IP address.

By in-game I mean "using game interface".

I don't want to quit the game, launch a browser just to be able start the game again and play multiplayer.

many of this destructive minds are kids with "cool" ideas that are ignored here. I saw this in other communities as well. They rush into a new community/project and try to impress people with big ideas that would make the game much better than it is now. And if people dont like it or dont even react to it they get pissed off. Then all hell breaks loose in those little brains. The only solution to get freedom after that is to bring chaos and mayhem into the community.
Man, the times have changed...

Like my idea for a "thirst meter" that keeps track of player thirst. When the meter gets low, you must find water and drink it in order to refil the meter. For some reason you guys didn't implement that.

Or what about my idea for the "truth gun" in single player mode that makes enemies tell the truth? That could be useful especially when the bad guys refuse to cooperate. Seems like you guys didn't spot the brilliance in that idea, either.

Also, I wanted to see some extra fire modes on the fist, one mode would be the fist, but rotated ninety degrees into "gangsta style" which would do more damage but be less acurrate.

And then there was my idea

How about... You can stun someone, then steal their body and then you can run around with two players - man - then you could steel another body - woah - then, like, you'd like have a whole team, like, of players to control yourslf - cool - and, and, and, then we need a new gui to allow you to control all those players, and different colors so you can tell them apart, and, and, like, and multiple keyboard and mouse suport to control them, and, and... maybe you could turn some of those players into ghosts, woo-hoo, and they could fly through walls and spy on other players, and maybe they could be like, like, nasty ghosts - oh yeah, demons even, and cast spells, and then you would roll a dice, in 3d, and like, cool, then each player moves around a board, and, wow, every so often you pick up a 3d card... maybe you could trade cards, or, or, use the cards as weapons! - yeah, throw the cards at other players and the razor sharp toothed cards, oh yeah, animate the teeth please, pretty please... then we really need mirrors to see ourself in because we are sooo cool, and tinted glass so we can make gangsta buildings, and, like, then we can smash the glass, and have neato bottle fights, or th[BOOM!]

A great way to get ppl to hate you is by calling their ideas crap.

I think we already have that now :)

Oh and metl, those ideas are brilliant... consider them part of the next release.

rpointon: if only I hadn't heard similar suggestions from people who weren't joking, I'd find your post funny...

Ya eihrul, I don't understand why some people are so ignorant. Well you guys have my 100% support, and I love the project you guys work so hard on! Also, I'm totally against cheating, and everyone who does so is a pussy, that can't play well thats why they need to use cheats. Now spammers, are simply just horny pimply 13 year olds that are to but ugly to get woman, so this is best thing they can do. I guess if we where in their shoes it would be much more understandible.
