Title: 'ghei' and other punk noobs Post by: iBeer on January 25, 2003, 12:10:32 am It has become apparent that many people are either : punk ass newbs and post stupid stuff, or login as a guest to cowardly post and bash without consequence. I think its time something has been done about this..I first noticed this in one of the AK threads, and recently in wallies farewell thread. Im pleading to the admins to put in ip tracking of somesort or something to get rid of this unnecessary and childish nussiance.
Title: Re:'ghei' and other punk noobs Post by: bronto on January 25, 2003, 12:49:10 am i think they can already see ips, but theres no rule against it. they could expose the cowards, or they can disable guest posting.
Title: Re:'ghei' and other punk noobs Post by: Agent Wallabie on January 25, 2003, 12:49:43 am I thought there was one...iBeer, thank you for this topic, it is a issue. Doesn't Mauti know everyones IP's and etc.? ???
Title: Re:'ghei' and other punk noobs Post by: Mr. Lothario on January 25, 2003, 01:04:25 am Disabling guest posting is a bad idea. There needs to be some sort of accountability... hmmm. Maybe a single IP can only post as guest X number of times ever (or X number of times within some time period), and then must get an account to post?
Title: Re:'ghei' and other punk noobs Post by: kami on January 25, 2003, 01:30:04 am Haha, I love that ?Ghei? guy's nickname. I think it's a rediculous discussion really, who cares about who they are?
Title: Re:'ghei' and other punk noobs Post by: *(SPU) mono on January 25, 2003, 02:16:52 am anyway, what are ip's worth? most have dyn ip's, so ...
Title: Re:'ghei' and other punk noobs Post by: iBeer on January 25, 2003, 04:35:27 am well i was thinking about taking the user's ip, and waiting for a registered user to login with the same ip. or we could be dirty and trace the ip, ping bomb etc.
Title: Re:'ghei' and other punk noobs Post by: Agent Wallabie on January 25, 2003, 05:19:56 am Don't wanna sound a newb, but is the IP the of the computer or something else?
Title: Re:'ghei' and other punk noobs Post by: bronto on January 25, 2003, 05:47:21 am anyway, what are ip's worth? most have dyn ip's, so ... The IPs are worth finding out if these people are already registered in the forums and exposing them for who they are. It doesn't matter if it's dynamic, because dynamic IPs only change the last number, the first 3 numbers remain the same. Don't wanna sound a newb, but is the IP the of the computer or something else? Please restate that walla, there's too many 'the' and 'of' and what not. Title: Re:'ghei' and other punk noobs Post by: KoS PY.nq.ict on January 25, 2003, 06:07:27 am kami there hasn't been a fight with rapid or typhy recently so people are looking for someone to roast....
Title: Re:'ghei' and other punk noobs Post by: Agent Wallabie on January 25, 2003, 09:21:18 pm Drunkin sleres, sry bronto, I meant to ask what the IP was? I mean is it like a computer ID?
Any way's, let the roasting begin, I don't mind being the 2nd Rapid or Typhy, I'm not even on GR so whatever. Title: Re:'ghei' and other punk noobs Post by: kami on January 26, 2003, 02:13:57 am Walla, the IP is the address of your computer in a network, you choose it yourself in your internal network (if you have one) and then you let your ISP choose your external IP (either they give you a static IP or a dynamic one that changes everytime you log on to your gateway). It's a bit more complicated than that though but yeah..
I don't think Py meant you as the second punch bag, rather that ?ghei? person. Title: Re:'ghei' and other punk noobs Post by: Agent Wallabie on January 26, 2003, 05:09:31 am Heheh, thanks kami. ;)
Title: Re:'ghei' and other punk noobs Post by: Mr. Lothario on January 26, 2003, 06:13:37 am The IP number system is a way to uniquely identify all computers on a network. Here's a good explanation of it: http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/I/IP_address.html
