pete_agreatguy Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 I highly recommend banning by IP rather than account. A new account can easily be created straight away.

Trucking Gekco Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 ^ Yea, but then that account can and will get perm banned for "Ban Evading". Plus they need to make a new steam account and re-buy the game to play MP again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The banned user could easily create a new account with a different email address and fake other details easily.

Trucking Gekco Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 ^ I have seen users get their second account banned, whether they admitted to having it or not I don't know but I have seen it. But you still run into the same thing, if a player wants to play MP again after getting perm banned they need a new steam account and they need to re-buy the game all over again. Paying $20 all the time will add up, in the long run it's not worth it. Not to mention banning by IP has an issue as well. If you have 2+ users in the same house then the entire house will get banned for 1 players mistake. Then you have proxy servers people can use to get a new IP, it's not going to be super easy to ban via IP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't consider the fact that there maybe more than one player using the same wan IP. Another reason why I suggested MAC address banning (granted you can clone mac address and ip).
