Some MMO games banned China from their servers due to their reputation of using bots; maybe LFS developers can issue a warning to do similarly? Let his comrades deal with that bad apple themselves.
the attackers will welcome the attention i guess. Which makes me wonder if at the times of attacks if a pattern of the attackers I.P checking the forum would be present which could point to someone already suspected unless they used a proxy to check
Couple of years ago LFS got terrorized by some UK and Norway idiots so this is not really a solution. In this internet age of time it is not possible anymore to have a simple server online without any protection. Yes, for some personal website nobody cares about but a popular public server sadly cannot go without.
But it's good that now action is being taken, before a major release.
There was and still is a server for original Battlefield Vietnam (2003 game); so, there was a guy from Russia who DDoSed/crashed/annoyed the whole server every day for 3 years after he was banned for teamkilling/hacks.
