People flooding mp server

[qwhitmye]

That sounds interesting. How about instead of kicking the player, though, it just places them under permasilence?

That could work, the offending person could be silenced for 5 minutes (seems like a long enough punishment to me?).

It think there would have to be a way to store the punishment of the offender on the server. That way if they log out out of frustration or maddness they would still be required to finish the silence time before that user name could continue to play "nice" with friends

There would also have to be update messages
"You are silenced for "bad behavor here". You must wait x minutes before you may resume player interaction."

Just some thoughts

Make Multiplayer mods!

[Tomsik]

I think mods and bot(and banning to dont make them useless) is first thing wich should be added to MP after 1.0.

Make Multiplayer mods!

I would be first in line for that.
I need at least ONE game to exist where "nOOb" is used soley as a joke.

Code it!

This is an essential feature. If there are no mods, wesnoth multiplayer will be no fun when too much people will come and flood.

[unsung]

hopefully, either scott or dave are aware of this:
there's now a map made to spell out "gay men often enjoy butt sex"
and another that spells "kill french canadians" in fact, they are still there.

we seriously need MP mods, especially if this is to remain a child friendly game.

There is also some flooding of unfinished and useless campaigns on the campaign server.

I think that all requests for votes for a person to be silenced, and the effects of the silencing should be invisible to the victim (so that he doesn't know when to rejoin.)

I like that - got an ironic twist to it.

The spammer might continue trying to aggravate folks without realizing that no one can hear 'em.

[unsung]

I like that idea, though it doesn't solve the specfic problem I mentioned.

[scott]

hopefully, either scott or dave are aware of this:

I'm not an admin or a developer. I just play one on the internet. No, j/k (about sentence 2, not sentence 1)

That does sound really serious though.

I have made a test implementation of an admin facility, and given Dragonking admin rights to begin with. He is able to ban obnoxious players from the server.
