There is a plugin for that on AM to punish quickly changing names players. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of AJ Palkovic Sent: donderdag 1 september 2011 2:11 To: Half-Life dedicated Linux server mailing list Subject: Re: [hlds_linux] Dealing with F2P ban evasion and status hack?
Another common problem is hackers who are repeatedly changing their name, making it quite difficult to determine their steamid. It would be nice to rate limit name changes if possible. For instance if someone changes their name more than 4 times in 1 minute, they are blocked from changing their name again for 10 minutes?
