A phone verification system is probably not a bad idea but I think we have gone over this discussion about a month or so ago.
- KAC like Global Sourceban database can be somewhat effective against hackers/cheaters until valve decides to do something about the problem. - There is no "Report violation" feature available if the user doesn't have his/her profile setup. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of ics Sent: Sunday, April 08, 2012 3:26 PM To: Half-Life dedicated Win32 server mailing list Subject: Re: [hlds] Why cheating isn't helping... It's not same all around the europe regarding IP's. Here i've seen my own ip change perhaps 1-2 in a year or even less. Of course it depends a lot from the isp but the ip-ranges can be starting from 81.* or 78.* or 87.* 62.* so it's propably the same for anyone else using the same ISP. Then there are those which have IP change every time they reset their dsl box. If someone managed to do 20 accounts and cause havoc on IFA Gaming servers, then obviously the counter measures that Valve said they had when TF2 went Free to Play are ineffective. Could happen to anyone of us. Luckily these idiots who use their Free to play accounts are somewhat stupid and not every case becomes as such. -ics 8.4.2012 21:55, Yuki kirjoitti: > Not even proxies are necessary.
