FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

There's probably a new problem next to griefers: hackers

One time, two guys built a huge sandstone house over night(means while I was sleeping in RL). They didn't ask for privs, and the only way to get privs on the server I'm always playing on(MrTux's/Vortexlabs's 4.3 server) is to ask in the forums.

They had got lots of diamonds and Nyan Cat rainbows(there r no Nyan Cats to mine on 4.3!), but no Nyan Cat blocks. Their only stack of Nyan Cat rainbows was very near to the number 32767(which is known by programmers), the same with diamonds(very near to 16383). They didn't have any mine and I didn't see any place where sand was taken from.

A mod revoked their privs, but the next day I SAW THEY HAVE BUILT BIG BUILDINGS AGAIN and THEY HAD PRIVS.

Jesus H. Christ. Have YOU NOT HEARD OF /giveme ???

They may have had legit privs, and frankly, they may have asked in-game or used an email.

Also; "hackers" is a word that covers a whole range of things.

1) White hats, red hats, black hats.

2) Doing things illegitimately.

"Cheater" would be more appropriate to gaming, and why did this not go onto the MrTux Server topic.

/giveme can only be used by admins!

Privs r only given by asking on the forums! Their privs were revoked by a mod and the admin wasn't online since 2 days.

One of them had done weird things some time ago, but I don't know what.

Edit after ur edit: They had one stack of 16***. And those guys can play on every server.

Warning! May contains Sarcasm and Nuts!

I'm a programmer and i know the numbers from 1-infinity, HELL NO!, nobody is allowed to have items with the stack number of 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10......, they are the numbers of evil...!!!!!!


(real comment) *sigh* (/real comment)

I meant 32*** numbers IN ONE STACK

MrTux is on IRC, THEY MAY have asked through that.

For admin privs? They had more than 99 blocks in a stack.

CTMN, /giveme IS NOT A ADMIN PRIV.

NEVER WAS, NEVER WILL.

I know, but A NORMAL PLAYER CAN'T USE IT

Stop discussing here and discuss on IRC!

And using /giveme, you can get a large stack.

Ok I actually see that OldCoder gave them the blocks.

It's just a weird server...
