[Feature Request] Showing expired bans on dplogin accounts
« on: July 20, 2009, 08:57:49 PM »
It would be good to have something on people's accounts showing if and when they were banned and for what. It would let people know what they're getting themselves into when they let someone into a clan without knowing their history. Or if someone supspects someone of hacking, they can see if they have done it before.

Yes there is the ban list, but nobody wants to read through all the expired bans to find someone.

Example:
Ban: Expired
Type: Speedhack
Date: Month, Year


Of course the people with expired bans will not want this to show up on their account for other people to see, but if you can't delete your clan history, you shouldn't be able to delete your hacking history either.

Post your opinions

Good idea, but it will make people do multi accs.

People already make multiple accounts because of their clan history. I don't think that there would be that big of a difference in multiple accounts for this.

Also,


Example:
Ban: Expired
Type: Speedhack
Date: Month, Year


Make it more simple:

Expired Bans:

Well, former clans are making people make multi-accounts but those aren't going anywhere :)

if you can't delete your clan history, you shouldn't be able to delete your hacking history either.

The only problem is that if it were to link to a thread each time, this would make quite a bit more work for jits. Otherwise brilliant. Also, if you get found 'not guilty' as it were (i.e. an IP faker hacks then presumably they dont show up?

I would be willing to add the bans that people get to their main info page. No work for jits if he thinks he can trust a 32 year old with a government clearance. :)

He could use some help with everything, but

There's not anybody I'd trust enough to give direct access to the database.  Even people with the best intent could easily completely screw things over in an irreversible way by mistake.

he can trust

I'm sure theres many he'd trust. The problem is how easy it is to screw up a database, and if it gets messed up, its not just one person, its a whole bunch of player id's that would get screwed up. It's easier for people just to search the ban list and expired ban list to see if someone's been banned.

The thing is Justin that yeah you can search the ban list, but it takes time. Especially for those who know only to search by name. This way it follows the person for the rest of their DP career. How hard could it be to take the time to give someone with knowledge of database entry a walk through of the exact steps to do what is needed? Couldn't it be backed up before the additions take place?

It's more work than it sounds. At the very least he would have to make updates to the db schema for dplogin, and write queries to update the database when new bans are entered into the gbl.

Wow really good idea. If you can't remember who's cheated you now can.

yup

Coming from a cheater, you might actually want to listen to him.

If they want to make multi accounts, then they're stupid and will only get banned again.

They already make them like they are going out of style anyways. Plus it is normally the ones who end up hacking that make them after they start getting to know the everyday players. Just look through the ban list. The statistics are right there.

It wouldn't be starting now, it would go back through the ban list and be added to everyone that has cheated and been banned.
