Recently, griefers/spammers have gotten an idea that if they make really long, mixed-up usernames, it will be hard for a moderator to ban them, so they have a short ''free time'' to be able to spam profanity at everyone else. Sometimes the insults will also be in their usernames, then they spam profanity about someone and leave before the mods can ban them. I, and many others, have become extremely frustrated about this, and we say it's time for something to be done about this.
My idea is to modify the ban system to allow banning someone who is offline at the time of the ban, so that they can't keep spamming every few seconds and logging off/logging in with a different username. But, since I do not know where the data/scripts that handle banning are stored, I do not know how to implement this. Can someone please fix this so that we can combat griefers easier?

Okay it seems EVERYONE is ignoring this issue, so I have to bump this topic:
We need a feature added to allow people to be banned while they are not online on a server, because known spammers/griefers like LANDMINE keep making accounts on servers containing profane insults, then spam stupid crap they don't even know about, then they leave before they can be banned.
ANYONE???

Just make a small add-on that logs every username and the ip it logged in with into a table, and make a command, something like

/offlineban username

and make the command pull that usernames logged ip from the file that logs them.

Easy :) thought you said your iq was over 150 hahahaha thought you would think of that by now :)

Is there a way to find the IP? I looked in several files, and couldn't find them.

Yes but just because I'm smarter than the average griefer-bum, does NOT mean I know everything about C++ and all. And I don't know how to ''get'' the IP of someone's account when they are offline, because it is not possible. That's why it is in the ''features'' discussion - we would need the IP to be recorded in the player data every time they log-in with a different IP, which is currently impossible without an edit of the game itself.

ohhh god your stupid.....read my response again....what you just said is what i told you to do here is an example pseudo-code

--User logs in
add-on records the username and ip in a log file (txt or w/e)

well thats basically all hahahaha all you have to do is add a command like

/offline ban username

--here the add-on reads the log file it created and since the ip is logged it will ban the user.

that's all.....i hate to repeat myself , you say your smarter than the griefers, doesn't seem that way....

if is that person uses multiple ip's you can simple add another line of code

username logs in
if(ip != logged ip)
rewrite logged ip with new ip

(!= means different btw, just put it out there cause you seem not to know anything)

do you still have any questions about this?

He's requesting a new feature for the game, which currently doesn't allow banning offline players. It isn't a problem with players.

He reported the Post with "There HAS to be something you can do to stop this griefing bum. Please - do whatever you admins do and make them stop.Thank you for your help :D "

oh my gosh, that is a stupid report message.

oh my gosh, that is a stupid report message.

Okay the, I guess you all just don't care. I am leaving to go grief Minecraft, because everyone here is retarded and immature, almost NOTHING good can be done here anymore.
When you people clean this up, I might look into it again - but for now, BYE.
