Right, ive got a problem. I went out to our demo server today > XFusion|Racing Demo and found a whole bunch of organized idiots banning innocent people from the server. The whole point of this is that i started banning them ( managed to finish 3 or 4 of them ), then went to the bans.ban file on the host and found a rather strange names appearing there like >

ªC¾ÒÉÉ , ¢àÉÒÉÉ , ˆ&2ôÑÉÉ etc etc...

Cant find a way to look at their LFSW stats... Question is: are they banned for real?
Why their names appear like that?

And just to mention these morons were wearing team tag of Born 2 Race.
Having raced with some of their s2 licensed members i cant say bad word for the team over all, but for the few individuals causing innocent people being banned for nuttin.

Quote from SilverArrows77 :
EDIT - basically you cant just open bans.ban in a text editor and have/edit relevent info

basically i did that in the past. its just writes the username and some parameters. Atleast i think so

wops you are right about it mate. Sorry!

I managed to find the names of the intruders from the airio log and they got a "permaban".

if some one is interested in knowing them heres a tiny list of lfsw names.

Just to clarify a few points (as a B2R member):-
These people have nothing to do with the Born 2 Race team and are merely impersonating usernames and stealing our team tag, eg- Garaily/Garally caiendur/calendur vel0city./velocity.

Concerning the bans.ban file....yes it is confusing, it is much easier to look in the pb.txt file to find offending usernames.
Not a bug. But this LFS:BanEditor will help.

The links to his tools don't work so I'll put the ban editor here.

Today was the same thing!
Someone with the nickname Dumbie began voting alone and everbody in the race was banned...
It's sad...

ps:- sorry if my english is bad
Last night was the same thing. Spoiled some good clean racing fun

Glad to hear that they are not genuine B2R members, having spent so much time on their server I should have known really.

If you do see these people on our server then please save the replay and contact me.
You can contact me by pm on this forum, our own forum (http://www.s8.createphpbb.com/ ... dex.php?mforum=borntorace), via lfs desktop or simply search my username to see if I am online.
As you know we do our best to keep our servers clean and fair but as it is possible to create multiple demo accounts there seems to be no way to actually prevent this, all we can do is ban their new usernames as soon as we can.
