Hello Since joining minetest and also running a server, i have noticed a major flaw this game has. This relates to the client login system for server. The major issue is banning. even after banning a player they can easily return doing this is as simple as turning of your router and changing the IP and changing the player name. I have come up with an idea that will not prevent this completely but it will make it harder to do. So a player database would be a website player register on with a minetest login and password. this password and login name will be the same the use to login to servers running the player database mod. when a play connects the server will check against the players database if the login detail match an account on the database the player will be allowed in. if not well the player will not be allowed in. This system could also be used as a globe banning system server administrators will be notified when a specific player name has past bans. another feature in my idea will be to have player achievements logged on the database. Of ourse servers that do not run this mod players can join under the normal system used today I just thought i will post this perhaps to spark some brain waves out there.
