Entropy Report post Posted July 24, 2004 Ok, I unbanned you, should take 20 minutes or so. But be warned, this is against the rules (which can be found on this forum) and any subsequent abuse will result in a permanent ban. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
teranoz Report post Posted July 24, 2004 Why just build it into the serverprog. Make an array of "illegal" names like all variants on Admin, Administrator, Entropy, Entr0py or whatever that will be checked on any new username, so it will not be possible anymore, or ask some kind of password before those names can be used (for the real ones) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bathory Report post Posted July 24, 2004 Man, these newbies need a way of seeing the rules before they play the game. Like a pop-up with the rules in it should appear when they first play the game or something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Like a pop-up with the rules in it should appear when they first play the game or something. Nice idea, but most people just do not read them, even if they are displayed.

(Athosino) Report post Posted July 28, 2004 hmm, i have better idea: like on phpBB2 forums in admin panel there's a option to dissallowe usernames. so just program such thingy to EL, and put all bad names into it, so when newb comes he can't get baned cus he didn't read rules and choosed bad name Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fred_penner Report post Posted July 28, 2004 I've got a better idea. Create a list of names that aren't allowed and have the server check the list each time a new player is created. If the name is on the list, don't allow the player to be created. That's a great new idea, by me. You're welcome. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LiKe OmFg there is a gr33n msg that pops up every time you log in!!!111~~ but seriously, how about when you click New Character it displays another green msg that warns of this, then you have to push like f1 or some misc key for it to move on to the character creation screen. ^^^^^^^^ much simpler than spook's (and others) ideas Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Placid Report post Posted July 29, 2004 or, like a previous post, just have a list of names that are illegal, and everytime you try and create a char with an illegal name, it says: 'Invalid name, choose another'. Even better, have names generated from a database (or the name sites that are posted on the el front page), that way we dont get names like: tonyhawk664 (random) or mynamesbob. ...

NoisyAssassin Report post Posted August 1, 2004 There's plenty of space for rules and illegal names in the connect console before the login screen.. Btw i haven't read the rules because i never was told where to find them. So list then in the connect console. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
