Me again.. sorry to be a pest...

for the last few days whenever i (or one of the other admin) try to ban someone using the "/banip <user> <ip>" command.. it doesnt seem to work. the ip address used to come up automatically after the name so u could jus press enter and it would ban them permanently.

Now they are able to get back in the room if they want, which is obviously a pain for us.

Just wondered if u could help pls.

Thanx

what type of server is the room hosted on? or is it hosted on a plain winmx?

i use WCS...

that would be why they dont ban... /banip 1.2.3.4, you dont use a username for an IP Ban

confused blonde · « **Reply #4 on:** August 23, 2005, 11:05:45 pm »

we have done this before.. when u right click on the username.. it comes up with the options.. Kickban, Ban, Ban Ip and Unban.. next to the Banip option it comes up with /banip <user> <ip> as the criteria .. and the ip was automatically put in.. when u clicked on this..

It is only since the last update it doesnt do that.. it just comes up with the 8 numbers that are on the usernames already.. and not the ip address..

this means unless u can scroll up and copy it from where they came in the room.. u potentially cant ban them at all.. only kick them.. we have had a lot of trouble with ppl coming in the room spamming.. and not being able to ban them permanently is a real hassle..

Anything we can do to get it back the way it was?? plssssssssssssss

confused blonde · « **Reply #6 on:** August 23, 2005, 11:10:54 pm »

i never used the setaccess one.. cos we all have passwords.. but the ban ip one is deff a problem for me.. spammers being given a free ride..

erm, why are you using the banip command if they are in the room? just use /ban username... you only need to ban by IP Address if you have to explicitly state the users IP Address if they aren't in the room...

btw the format of the banip command in WCS hasn't changed, so those bans you were doing before wouldn't actually have ever worked

good point on that /ban <user>

:roll:

ur ignoring the issue km. wcs is broken and it's to do with the colour ip when users enter a room.

confused blonde · « **Reply #10 on:** August 24, 2005, 09:06:20 pm »

my point is.. that even IF they are in the room at the time.. using the /ban <username> command.. only kicks them.. they can get back in the room straight away.. so it is no better than a /kick <username>

the /banip <username> <ip address> ALWAYS worked in the past.. it bought up the IP address on the end of the command and when u pressed enter then they couldnt get back in the room.. they also came up on the ban list..

its only since the new update that it hasnt worked.. and we've got two commands that kick.. its just one of them is called Ban...

theres deff a prob on the ip bann
before the last upp date you could on the screen when person left
you could right click scroll down too ip ban and click it it would come upp with the ip and ban them
now you can not do that
wot i surjess if you dont beleave plp theres a prob with it do a test room and try it. with a old wsc server before upp date and after upp date km i now you do test ect but i think you have made a mistake on this
as you get plp returning spamming and being a dick by the time you scroll up the screen tooo get there ip thay gone so it defeat the object 5 mins later there back and spamm again ip ban was the best thing about it deff made a mistake takeing out and replaceing with colour ip that does nothing but make it look fancy could you plz replace it and put back before update plz it would be much appreciate it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hmmm .... Dont know what you folks are using to hook up to your WCS rooms, but I use RoboMX for Admin-ing and when I kickban the subject is gone...same applies to the /ban & /banIP commands (which actually dont kick ...it just puts them in your banlist)

Now what you may be seeing are ppl with DSL or Dynamic IPs....
DSL all they have to do is reset their modem and presto chango they have a NEW IP Address and they can reenter the room....while the IP Ban is effective in most cases in these examples it loses it's effectiveness....

My Solution to the Dynamic IP is to ban via %HOSTNAME% with Metis as that doesnt change....(Warning: Banning via Hostname ...if parmeters are too wide... bans MANY PPL)

thats diff
we dont use robo for addminn
we r addmin robo is for the room welcome ect and passwords login
mx 3.54b am on all ways been on never had a prob before uppdate
we dont allow bots in the room beside the room bots due to hacking ect trust me theres a big prob with the ip ban
i wrote and build rooms since rcms scrip days + open napp room so do no wot am on about theres a major prob in the upp date
all i ask is run a test room see for your selfs test befre upp date and after you will see wot the prob is

Ace · « **Reply #14 on:** August 25, 2005, 03:50:03 am »

an as in dsl no you can not reset to get ip change thats for dial up
as only way is to dos change or local ip change so thats total diff to wot the prob is
the prob is due to the colour change in the ip on the upp date and a addmin which r on 3,53 or 3.54
not robo cos addmin feed the room with shared files if on robo that would not beable to do that
as mx is a share network
and as in host ban that would be host who would ban so that would mean host will be on 24 / 7 unless thay on pro plus to keep awake too ban all the time it would not work

/postmorerepliesfornothing.net
/gimmegimmegimme.uk

Ace · « **Reply #16 on:** August 25, 2005, 05:22:03 am »

deff not bitching the prob is the upp date theres a prob which needs sorting out so this is the only way too sort it out by posting yea can ban ect but theres a prob with ip banning you host a room get muppets come in then you no wot probs there is yea can do a server but y should i take credit away from km as he has done a stable server theres a small prob which can be fix and its his server hes done work and credit to him dont wont too take credit for some one else work
just pointing out the prob and so has arther plp so km can fix for next upp date

confused blonde · « **Reply #17 on:** August 25, 2005, 08:19:25 am »

who's bitching... i jus thought that if we had a problem .. we could post it on the forum, so that someone could give some advice or it would be sorted out..

My problem is.. i cant ban ppl.. like i could before, and its annoying. Obviously other ppl have had the same problem, which shows its not just me.

add the option FancyEntry=0 to your config, and restart WCS so it updates to 1.7.1 and it'll get rid of the fancy entry message for admins

but if you want to kick and ban someone then you should use /kickban username or to just ban them use /ban username, and to ban an IP Address /banip 1.2.3.4...
