Re: Starburst Round XIII

could mods start to search for multis again?
i saw some new registered users just as round opened smile
most of players don't want another guy with 4 accounts (like last round)

Re: Starburst Round XIII

yeah i agree we should check for multis at least once a week!

Re: Starburst Round XIII

We can see all new accounts in the interface.  They are checked everyday or so.  We can't block until we have proof.

~~Lemming of leather and lollipops~~

Right, so what are we waiting for?  Can we get this going?  Any other feedback?

Re: Starburst Round XIII

KT i understand your point.....but last round (2 or 3 weeks until the EOR) you found out a guy with 4 accounts.
it is kinda lame that he played so much with 4 accounts and something happened so late.....

Re: Starburst Round XIII

Surely it is the IP address that is used to identify multis? So if someone registers with the same ipaddres then he is a multi. A simple script on the database would show you all matching/ similar ip addresses.

If they are using a proxy then when registering the IP address should be checked and if from a proxy the account deleted as per the rules.

I see it as a simple task?

I manage many web pages that have millions of members and we run tasks that detect re-registered users who are blocked.

We have under 50 players wink

Re: Starburst Round XIII

We look at more than just IPs alone. Besides IPs don't tell it all. If anyone is using a proxy they get blocked. I can't post the ways they get around things and make it more difficult. Sometimes it takes a bit for them to screw up and we catch them.

Re: Starburst Round XIII

So in other words they have no way of catching them until they are deep into the game and hurting others.  As BUD777 said, you can make a script and add in the extra variables your talking about KT.  It is in fact a basic task...

Re: Starburst Round XIII

We check the accounts when they are first made. We have school IPs, phone IPs, sibling IPs which all can be the same IP. Those are rechecked. It is not a basic matter of matching IPs.

Re: Starburst Round XIII

Mods, when they have time, put a lot of work into manually checking for multis. Ive played with Wendy, Remo and W_C (just recently), and they all put in quite a bit of effort. However, they cant monitor 24/7, and have to take a LOT of things into consideration. Blocking a multi is the final step in a process with many safeguards to prevent accidental kicking of actually legit players. Dont get angry with the mods for not being able to root them all out, its real hard to find a multi that knows what hes doing and doesnt want to be found, get angry with the people making multiple accounts, they're to blame, not the mods, mods can only do the best they can withing the parameters set for them - and they do.

When speaking your mind, it is of utmost importance to keep using it !

Re: Starburst Round XIII

TCO you can't blame someone for trying. You blame mods for not doing their job. You don't blame someone else because he steals something....you blame police for not doing their job.

I know it is hard to find multis.....but not really.
it is a little work, but that is why you are a mod.
if you don't have time or can't do it get 2-3 extra mods that will only check multi accounts.

Last round with 4 accounts was really a mess, and after half of galaxy said "hey there are multis around", someone did some job.
Not good this way !!

Re: Starburst Round XIII

wait what? dont be mad at the thief, or murderer, or rapist, but at the police for not catching all of them? what kind of messed-up world do you live in?

Also 'mods must do their jobs' ... sure, how about you start paying them, then complain about them doing their 'job' ? however, they're all volunteers, who spend their free time hunting for multis, setting up galaxies, and listening to you guys nagging their heads off on irc, and as a thank you, they get told they suck. Honestly, ive been asked twice if i was interested in becoming a mod, and ive happily declined as many times, exactly for those reasons. I have an enormeous respect for those mods who are actually moderating the game, and keep doing that under such circumstances.

So instead of looking at it from a selfish point of view, where mods have to be thankful to be allowed to work for you, try looking at it the other way around. Show some respect and gratitude, and maybe the mods would be more motivated ... ever thought of that? It doesnt start with them, it starts with you.

Re: Starburst Round XIII

just block crioz



cant blame me for trying.

Re: Starburst Round XIII

Yeah. That was a completely retarded post.

Re: Starburst Round XIII

this is the world where we all live in. i don't think that around you everyone is correct and doesn't want/search to do something bad to others.
smile)

TCO it is not everyone fault because stefan don't want to pay them or make something.
it was a topic around 2-3 years ago when some players wanted to pay the mods for doing their job. there are a lot of players who payed for vip.
make vip account again, with some plus features and all that cash send to mods for their job (since stefan don't want cash for this game).
solutions are....but someone have to start them.
i am mad on mods because i waited 1 week or 2 until i found one in chat or ingame msg or forum msg.
and i offered myself to make something for the game and help.....and didn't get any response.

how can i have another opinion about this???

@Devilz i am not playing....and they only have to ask and i won't login anymore smile)
it is your fault, only your fault !!!!

Re: Starburst Round XIII

It's really not easy finding multi's, the interface is as old as this game.  Sherlock Holmes couldn't find all the multi's on this system.

Due to a virulent strain of moronic mods, your population are worried they will spawn some of their own therefore they have resorted to wearing mod-idoms. Pop growth is reduced by half.
