Re: First-Join-Needs-Time Protection
that could be a nice idea.
in combination with a movement check that the player needs to move around or chat.
regulars could get quickinteract griefers have to wait.

First-Join-Needs-Time Protection
The main problem of griefers is, that they join often and with different nicknames. A hard trick with some cryptographic implementation effort could be used to interchange time for a first time connect. this trick is described below. but there is one much simpler trick: the server knows if its a new...

Also the Unique ID is some kind of method to prevent griefers, there should be another method: E-Mail verification.

Unique Client ID
As Griefers are getting better and better it should be considered about adding a unique ID to a client. The ID should be unique per computer and not per client, so that deleting a file is not enough. Lamers have to change the source or manipulate during runtime to circumvent this. The Unique ID coul...

Re: deleting pos lines in sqlite map db
That looks good.
So if i calculate like this for one node, then maximum 16 nodes in all directions will be deleted?
Next i have to think how to write a script which deletes all except "active" played map.
I cant delete e.g. block 123456 until inf. I hate unnormalized databases ;-)

Re: Un-explore the world ?
It would be easier to remove big chunks from the world database instead of excact coordinates.
If you have 5 areas where people act, then you should preserve them.
I havent looked into the sqlite3 yet but if the world is a part of chunks you could just preserve some and delete the rest.
