Time Nick Message 00:01 bigfoot547 I tried pinging it: 8 packets transmitted, 8 received, 0% packet loss, time 7008ms 00:07 bigfoot547 So, it seems to be up... 02:45 Hijiri DoS attack? 02:53 VanessaE I already reported the performance prob in -staff earlier 02:54 VanessaE (I got even less response than I get from the forum :P ) 03:47 TommyTreasure !nore if you're around, our DarkLands hacker is back. claims to be a 'security team' 03:47 ShadowBot TommyTreasure: Error: You must be registered to use this command. If you are already registered, you must either identify (using the identify command) or add a hostmask matching your current hostmask (using the "hostmask add" command). 03:48 TommyTreasure hmmmm 03:57 Wayward_One TommyTreasure, "!tell" 05:08 TommyTreasure Wayward_One, sometimes my fingers think so much faster than my brain. ty though 05:49 Hijiri !nore 05:49 Hijiri what does that do 05:49 Hijiri !help nore 05:49 ShadowBot Hijiri: Error: There is no command "nore". 06:29 TommyTreasure Hijiri, it does nothing. i forgot to add the rest of the command 06:29 TommyTreasure exept you just sent a ping to him 06:53 TommyTreasure This is meant as informational, not complaining. In the past few weeks, DarkLands has been hit with some users claiming to be creating their own version of minetetest client. They've decided to target me, because of my strict moderator ethics and moral standings. These people (they claim to be a team of 2)..... continued 06:54 TommyTreasure ... have decided that I'm an abusive admin, and have found ways to fly, fast, teleport, noclip, and kill by chat command. On D/L, the kill command requires 'server' privs. here's a link to their threat/warning to me. 06:55 TommyTreasure https://www.hastebin.com/suyinosure.txt 06:56 TommyTreasure They have used multiple VPN or proxies to bypass xban. On their previous attack, the also flooded the game's irc channel with profanities and threats. 06:56 TommyTreasure 06:56 TommyTreasure Again, just informational. I can supply a list of some of their playernames if needed. 07:05 Raven262 Any other servers reporting this? 07:06 Raven262 Do they use the same names on other servers too? 07:08 TommyTreasure i really don't know. i have probably banned one of the little buddies for profanity, and of course, a bad admin is someone who doesn't do things 'their way'. 07:08 Raven262 yea i know 07:08 TommyTreasure that's why i posted this as informational 07:08 Raven262 i'm an admin on craigs server 07:09 Raven262 And people might say that i... well I am a strict admin sometimes 07:09 TommyTreasure last night, they attacked for over an hour, and i ended up banning at least 15 player names, and probably caught a few real players in 'friendly fire' 07:09 TommyTreasure the point is, i'm not the admin, just a moderator 07:09 Raven262 wait, do you have a list of their names? 07:10 Raven262 I'll check if any have logged on craig's server this night. 07:10 TommyTreasure and thankfully, the admin has the trust and respect for me and my actions 07:11 TommyTreasure my post was also to let the dev team know (which i know the probably already do) that this is a serious threat to the minetest game and community 07:12 Raven262 Two "hacker" kids are a threat? 07:12 TommyTreasure when there's only 1 active moderator in the game, and they fill all available player slots, yes 07:13 Raven262 They call themselves "hackers", yet anyone can modify minetest's client 07:13 TommyTreasure and then 'killing off' newplayers randomly... yup! 07:13 Raven262 killing off= 07:13 Raven262 *? 07:14 Raven262 Like using a command to kill players? 07:14 TommyTreasure exactly, and that command is restricted to server priv 07:14 TommyTreasure so, they've found a way around that. also, the seem to be able to hide their name tags at will 07:15 TommyTreasure and on this server, that requires moderator privs 07:15 Raven262 privs are a bit unsecure afaik 07:15 Raven262 one can easily modify fly and fast, though i did never try others 07:15 Raven262 *tried 07:15 Raven262 *have tried 07:15 TommyTreasure its been explained to me that they aren't changing their privs, but the client is emulating those privs 07:15 Raven262 heh 07:15 Raven262 emulating? 07:16 Raven262 like going around them 07:16 TommyTreasure fooling the server? i'm not a coder, so my terminology leaves much to be desired 07:16 Raven262 need devs here 07:16 Raven262 idk much about coding myself 07:16 TommyTreasure that's why it was suggested that i post an informational description here 07:16 Raven262 my brother does, but he is in school right now. 07:17 Raven262 Awaiting for a dev reply then. 07:17 TommyTreasure i don't really even need a reply, but i am available to give more information if needed 07:18 Raven262 Nah, one can not let these guys roaming around. 07:18 Raven262 They have already avoided server priv, so they can easily destroy the server's world 07:18 TommyTreasure from what i understand, there's no way to really stop it, just catch them in the act and deal with them 1 at a time 07:19 Raven262 or 07:19 Raven262 Persuade them to join us. 07:19 TommyTreasure that would take all the excitement out of their teen years 07:20 Raven262 xD 07:20 Raven262 Nah, i doubt they would find hacking alone that much fun. 07:20 Raven262 Cause isn't it more fun when you hack for a community. 07:20 Calinou yes, you can't grant yourself actual fly/fast privileges yourself 07:20 Calinou but you can trick your client into believing you always have them 07:21 TommyTreasure exactly the way it was explained to me! ty 07:21 Raven262 Well, my brother already did that, not much of a work 07:22 TommyTreasure just my opinion, but that destroys the enjoyment of the game 07:22 Raven262 no really? 07:22 TommyTreasure if a person is the only one in the game that can fly, then yes 07:23 TommyTreasure if a person = if that person 07:23 Raven262 well, flying destroys the gameplay anyway. 07:26 TommyTreasure its fine on a creative server, but defeats the purpose on a survival server 07:27 Raven262 Indeed,đ 07:28 Raven262 *indeed 07:28 Raven262 damn keyboard 07:28 Raven262 Hello lisac 07:28 lisac Hello 07:28 Raven262 lisac came to deal with this situation. 07:28 Raven262 I think. 07:28 lisac Raven262 told me someone was modifying MT and changing IPs. 07:29 lisac I can't do anything about it 07:29 lisac but if they did give threats of malicious behavior, maybe someone can report them to their ISPs. 07:29 Raven262 They are changing ips like hell afaik 07:29 Raven262 So how could one get their isp? 07:29 lisac Raven262, ISP knows what IP they assigned to whom. 07:30 lisac and you can check what ISP that IP belongs to 07:30 Raven262 Ah. 07:30 Raven262 Seems doable. 07:30 lisac I'm not sure if it IS possible to report them, though 07:30 lisac maybe ISP simply doesn't care. 07:31 Raven262 heh 07:31 Raven262 Another thing would be, if they are reasonable, mybe we could persuade them to join our cause. 07:31 Raven262 *maybe 07:31 lisac join our cause, Raven262? 07:32 Raven262 MT's cause 07:32 lisac Oh. I thought you where talking about uniting the workers of the world under a red sky 07:32 Raven262 Not under this shadow of capitalism, lisac. 07:33 Raven262 Anyway, those guys said that the work on testing server's protections and stuff. 07:33 TommyTreasure lisac, the ones that attacked d/l on 2 occasions, were using vpn's or proxies 07:34 TommyTreasure lisac, did you check the link i posted. their warning/threat to me 07:34 lisac Um... what link? 07:34 Raven262 yes he did 07:34 Raven262 i showed him. 07:34 TommyTreasure https://www.hastebin.com/suyinosure.txt 07:34 lisac I did not read it whole, Raven262. 07:36 lisac TommyTreasure, You could override anti cheat function to ban everyone on the slightest doubt of cheating. 07:36 lisac or better, require users to add an email to their account to get shout and interact 07:36 Calinou the default anticheat has way too many false positives 07:36 TommyTreasure i'm sure the admin has taken all security precautions. i'm only a moderator 07:36 Calinou some lag? bam, "moved too fast" 07:36 Calinou most admins end up disabling anticheat entirely due to this 07:36 lisac I hope they don't attack Craig's. 07:37 Raven262 Yes, Calinou is right, i got banned many times cause of lag. 07:37 Raven262 That was some time ago though. 07:37 Raven262 I don't know if anyone still uses this anticheat system. 07:38 lisac what server is this on, anyways? 07:38 TommyTreasure Shara's DarkLands 07:38 TommyTreasure so i have complete confidence she knows what she's doing 07:39 lisac hm, I never saw that server. 07:39 lisac does it have an IRC channel? 07:39 TommyTreasure yes 07:39 lisac is it public? 07:40 TommyTreasure sort of, i'll pm the channel to you 07:40 lisac okay :) 07:41 TommyTreasure my paranoia at the moment says i shouldn't paste the channel name here... at least not yet 07:41 lisac lol, If they try this on freenode, they WILL get banned. 07:41 lisac i think so, at least 07:43 Shara Not here for long, but as a note - we don't know they are getting access to server priv. 07:43 TommyTreasure i'm not in the game, so i don't know what was done 07:43 lisac Shara, What did they do? 07:43 Shara I've never been around when it happened, so I don't know much 07:44 TommyTreasure well, last time they were killing players at totally different parts of the map within a second of each other. even teleport couldn't allow them to travel and kill that quickly 07:44 TommyTreasure and instantaneously too 07:45 TommyTreasure 1 hit doesn't kill a player with crystal armor with game available weapons 07:47 Calinou malformed packets to hit players from far away/in rapid succession? 07:48 TommyTreasure not my area of knowledge 07:50 TommyTreasure apparently, i've po'd one of their buddies with a ban that was probably well overdue, and its there way to get me fired. 07:51 TommyTreasure << too crotchety to bow out. lol 07:51 TommyTreasure their* 08:20 CWz Calinou, how could they do that with malformed packets, it impossible to interact with entities from too far away 08:20 CWz right? 08:24 CWz TommyTreasure, player_transfer_distance = 20 or something could perhaps fix issue of them killing other players. doing this should make it so their hacked client can't see most of the players 08:26 TommyTreasure CWz, i've used that on my own server, but this conversation is about a server that i'm only a moderator, not the admin 08:37 TommyTreasure CWz, i just tried player_transfer_distance = 4 on my test server. was able to kill from 8K away via chat command 08:38 TommyTreasure understood that the player could not see the player, but knowing the player's name was good enough to find for a kill 08:38 CWz hmmm using csm 08:38 CWz ? 08:39 TommyTreasure via /kill playername 08:40 TommyTreasure server is .15-dev mid march, client is .15-stable 08:41 TommyTreasure i don't have the irc mod connected, so i cant tell if its possible via irc command 08:41 TommyTreasure i'm assuming it will work though 08:41 TommyTreasure my setup only required ban privs to use the kill command 08:42 TommyTreasure requires* 08:47 Raven262 The question is can this even be done via csm 09:15 TommyTreasure Raven262, yet another question. is this possible by entering commands from the game, through the irc_chat mod? 09:20 shivajiva it's possible but unlikely as the irc mod requires the player to have his password set using the older method first before they can login via irc and issue commands, a search of the auth file for short lines will reveal which players have the ability to use irc commands 09:25 shivajiva they would also have to grant privs to the player account to use them via irc afaik 09:25 Raven262 how about csm? COuld it be that they used minetest's latest feature for this? 09:27 shivajiva wonder if we have any examples of the problems on 0.4.13 servers 09:28 shivajiva I certainly had issues back then but WE gui was exploitable... 09:34 TommyTreasure shivajiva, do you recall when the fix for WE was done? my version was updated on 5/12/2017 09:36 TommyTreasure think i just answered my own question. i'm current with we_gui, and behind with we_commands 09:46 red-001 TommyTreasure, would it be possible to get more info on the client? 09:46 red-001 like could you check the version string, etc 09:47 red-001 Would it be possible they gained access during the worldedit_gui incident and are just abusing it now? 09:49 TommyTreasure red-001, i'm sorry i've confused the issue. my WE question is in regards to my test server. not public, and not quite ready for prime time. 09:52 red-001 well I see you have worldedit_gui installed 09:52 red-001 I assume it patched correct? 09:52 red-001 it's 09:54 TommyTreasure red-001, darklands is not my server, its shara's server. i'm just a moderator there 09:55 red-001 well noclip,fly,fast are the default minetest hacking package 09:56 TommyTreasure and like i've said before, i trust that shara is totally up to date on anything security related 09:56 Calinou I think server-side noclip enforcement was added recently? 09:56 red-001 Calinou, nope, est31 was working on it 09:56 TommyTreasure i think the server package was updated yesterday, london time. 09:56 red-001 but it never got merged 09:57 red-001 what did get added is server-sided node damage and drowning 09:57 Calinou right 09:57 red-001 like I said before the best short term soloution would be to try and ban them via version string 09:58 TommyTreasure wouldn't that take out the majority of mobile client apps as well? 09:59 Calinou version string can easily be faked 09:59 Calinou so, that won't fix it 09:59 Calinou it's just like eg. Web browsers 09:59 TommyTreasure that was my guess too 10:02 red-001 thats why I said short term 10:02 TommyTreasure i would really hate to admit defeat, but if my presence at d/l is going to cause this much problem, my only other alternative would be to surrender my nick and create another 10:03 red-001 they could pretend to be a release build 10:03 red-001 but then you could detect a version string/protocol mismatch 10:04 red-001 also please don't use hastebin.com, the UI is horrible 10:05 TommyTreasure that wasn't my post, was the link the 'team' left for me 10:06 red-001 well tell them thier pastebin is shit 10:06 TommyTreasure that was my first impression too. lol 10:06 Calinou works fine for me 10:06 Calinou hastebin.com is very simple, you write something, you Ctrl+S and it's pasted 10:06 red-001 good damn it hackers at least use a decent pastebin 10:06 Calinou if you want to change the syntax highlighting, change the language in the URL 10:06 Calinou it's far better than pastebin.com 10:07 red-001 Calinou, it's horrbile on lower resolutions 10:07 red-001 the god damn logo obscures the text 10:08 Calinou get a decent screen resolution then :P 10:08 red-001 compear that to this https://paste.ee/p/uTVUP#ShQNt9HTqmyloOQcGX7NthGdpGsBpJTO 10:08 red-001 it even encrpts their blackmail then 10:08 Calinou paste.ee seems to be nice, I discovered it a few days ago 10:09 red-001 https://paste.ee/p/uTVUP 10:09 Calinou "badmins" 10:09 Calinou time to get a "Badministrator" title... 10:09 red-001 I discovered it a few seconds ago 10:09 red-001 Banministrator 10:09 red-001 Banmins 10:11 TommyTreasure you guys are gonna make me more famous than ron jeremy 10:21 lisac hey, how would you pass a key currently pressed to the clientside modding? 10:21 lisac or rather, how would you check what keys are currently pressed? 10:21 lisac not if they are, but which are. 10:22 red-001 no way as of right now 10:22 lisac red-001, yeah, but how would one implement that feature? 10:23 lisac I did get my press key-exec chat command stuff to work 10:25 red-001 well there is a bunch of ways to do this 10:25 * lisac is going to try doing it, obviously. 10:25 red-001 you could allow CSM mods to register callbacks for certain key-presses 10:26 lisac I don't think that would be a very 'clean' solution 10:26 lisac maybe a minetest.register_on_keypress(key_id)? 10:26 red-001 it would be cleaner then running a callback on every keypress 10:26 lisac or something like that? 10:26 red-001 that would just be a waste of resources 10:27 lisac hm 10:27 lisac no idea really 10:27 red-001 minetest.register_on_keypress(key_id/keymap,func) 10:27 lisac ^yeah 10:27 red-001 that way you can check without entering lua if you need to run a callback 10:28 lisac and then have some sort of an array with defined keys and functions, over which you loop in the input manager? 10:28 red-001 switching between lua and c++ takes a good bit of time 10:28 red-001 I suggest reusing existing code if you can 10:29 red-001 so create a lua callback table for each keypress id 10:30 red-001 and add code to the function that registers keypress events that would tell the c++ that a certain table in no-longer empty 10:30 lisac this might be 'a bit' over my abilities 10:30 lisac :D 10:31 red-001 well it is a hard thing to do correctly 10:31 lisac I'll keep you posted on my progress. 10:31 * lisac makes a new git branch 10:31 red-001 thats why it's not implemented yet 10:32 red-001 in your place I would go for low hanging fruit like correct media loading 10:32 lisac correct media loading? :) 10:33 red-001 yes CSM doesn't load textures and sounds 10:33 lisac should it? 10:33 red-001 so for textures you have to use the hacky workaround of a texturepack and for sounds there is nothing you can do 10:34 red-001 or even implement the HUD 10:34 red-001 huh I might work on the hud 10:35 red-001 plus I think I though of a nicer way to implement my particles PR 10:35 lisac red-001, What about this? https://github.com/minetest/minetest/issues/5874 10:35 lisac also, maybe client side mods should be able to add particles 10:35 lisac for actual rain! :P 10:37 red-001 I was literaly just talking about csm particles lol 10:38 lisac oh lol 10:38 red-001 as for that issue, it's not really a priority 10:38 red-001 it's just barely and issue 10:38 red-001 an* 10:40 lisac yeah, but it is easy to fix. :P 10:40 red-001 well it should also check for other invaild vaules if this is to be added 10:40 red-001 like negative numbers 10:40 lisac wow... param:match("([^ ][-]?[0-9]+)([^ ]+)(.*)") 10:41 red-001 well come to the werid and wonderful world of lua regex 10:41 red-001 welcome* 10:43 lisac I heard some people not only can understand this, but can also WRITE it! 10:43 lisac foot would encourage me to figure what it does 10:44 red-001 https://www.lua.org/pil/20.2.html 10:45 red-001 now why did they use [0-9] instead of %d 10:45 Darcidride Hi everyone 10:45 red-001 hi Darcidride 10:45 lisac red-001, It looks more sci-fi 10:46 lisac Hi Darcidride 13:09 Jordach http://i.imgur.com/nGb8Yqb.jpg 13:36 shivajiva hmm perhaps we should censor the server list... F*** Minetest seems a bit of a strange name for a server... 13:36 nerzhul shivajiva, i reported it yesterday 13:37 shivajiva :) 13:37 nerzhul but sfan5 told we don't have any rule 13:37 shivajiva then we should have 13:38 shivajiva freedom to protect minors overrules freedom to express, surely 13:38 nerzhul it's the last days before release 13:39 red-001 I mean what do we even have the ban function in the serverlist for if you are not going to use it 13:42 Calinou shivajiva: IMO, this is not about "protecting minors", just about basic decency 13:42 Calinou I think such server names shouldn't be allowed, still 13:42 Calinou it's already possible to ban them, but someone needs to do it 13:46 shivajiva basic decency isn't a priority around here, plenty of examples of people swearing instead of expressing themselves nicely so it goes with the territory but to allow it to be pushed on kids is very wrong imo 13:52 CWz what server is offending this time? 13:53 shivajiva somebody needs to make a decision about the rules for server names broadcast, before a parent jumps on this and reports it 13:53 shivajiva the server is FUCK Minetest 13:58 benrob0329 ^^ 13:59 nerzhul yes, i think some names should be refused by server list, just look at common shit words 13:59 benrob0329 No swearing, I'd say 13:59 nerzhul i think i will rename AppleTree to Fucking good Apple in your ass if it's not allowed *joke* 14:01 benrob0329 Do we have a way to send messages to a server? 14:02 benrob0329 Like, "your server name contains inappropriate language, it will not be shown in the server list" 14:04 nerzhul benrob0329, no 14:05 red-001 we could use an error code for it 14:07 Calinou there is no mandatory "contact" field, so no 14:17 red-001 I think minetest prints the whatever the server returns to the console 14:17 red-001 so it should be possible 14:19 TommyTreasure ok, here i go again! why is everyone looking in a programming solution for this instead of a bit of server side includes on the web site. a simple registration and validation page to compare server name with registered server name? 14:20 DS-minetest TommyTreasure: what are you writing about? 14:20 TommyTreasure seriously, is a few hours of manual labor not worth the benefit from this kind of garbage being displayed to our kids? 14:21 TommyTreasure the profane m/t server names 14:21 DS-minetest for csm to differ servers 14:21 DS-minetest ? 14:22 TommyTreasure isn't the only one the game uses for display at servers.minetest.net? if not, i'll stand corrected. 14:22 TommyTreasure if the admins configure for a different announce server, they not our problem, no? 14:24 DS-minetest I've suggested something about that i think 14:24 DS-minetest that the server saves to each player a number and the player saves the highest number and co. 14:25 DS-minetest and for the player every server has a different number but the server gives the players different numbers 14:28 octacian Is it practical to make an item entity entity with collision that will do things like fall off an edge if less than half of it is on a solid node? 14:29 TommyTreasure seems to me that a very simple php page, with a small data file would be able to check a server name against the registered server name, and reject the display of a mismatch fairly easily 14:34 red-001 ? 14:37 TommyTreasure red-001, only me sticking my foot in my mouth again. i'm terribly sorry to everyone 14:40 TommyTreasure but, before i leave this channel, i'd like to give a brief history of me and minetest. i got involved because i thought it would be a much more wholesome platform for children. since then, my actions as a moderator banning for profane language on a friend's server has caused (imho) severe problems for that server..... 14:41 TommyTreasure i think i should just back out of minetest completely and find another venue for my efforts 14:41 red-001 huh 14:43 TommyTreasure i'm just totally frustrated and the inconsiderate players, and self appointed 'admin cops' that have terrorized shara's darklands game. i feel my wholesome and ethical nature have caused her problems, and now after seeing the display of profane server names.. well, its enough for me to want to find something different for my kids, and the kids of my friends 14:44 red-001 honestly the whole thing with this server is kinda ridiculus 14:44 TommyTreasure thank you for letting me rant. i'll sit on the sidelines for a while and keep my mouth shut. :) 14:44 red-001 if you are not planning to use the ban feature then why include it? 14:45 TommyTreasure its not my server! 14:45 TommyTreasure i'm only a moderator 14:45 TommyTreasure sorry red-001, didn't mean for it to sound sarcastic 14:47 TommyTreasure but i feel that my actions in trying to keep out profane language is the cause of the current attacks at her server. and like i said, the current profane server names just got my goat big time! 15:03 kaeza hi tenplus1 15:36 Fixer first, do minetest server list is even has some guidelines? 15:47 TommyTreasure for crying out loud people, does anyone have the authority here to put a temporary iptables rule on servers host to block that listing? 15:47 red-001 we can even ban ports 15:47 red-001 iirc 15:47 TommyTreasure the announce list!!!!! please guys, there's kids at school looking at that 15:48 red-001 sfan5> why do we care 15:48 TommyTreasure its obvious you don't care about anything except your own egos. i'm outta here, i'm outta minetest, and i'm going home to keep my kids out of minetest too. 15:50 red-001 well thats disapointing 15:52 sfan5 lol ok 15:53 sfan5 i assumed that mransom would deal with this 15:53 red-001 as would I but it seems they are rarely online 15:53 shivajiva in the meantime lots of children are being exposed to it... 15:54 shivajiva if you can take it off the list I suggest you do asap 15:54 shivajiva instead of the apathy of who cares 15:55 red-001 I think minetesthosting ports are somewhat static 15:58 sfan5 should be gone within 5 mins 15:58 sfan5 people can stop complaining now 15:59 shivajiva tada! So simple yet so hard to get something done 16:00 sfan5 really liking that sarcasm right there 16:02 shivajiva TommyTreasure had to quit, he's a parent and a grandparent and you don't want to listen to his logic, how should I react to the apathy? 16:04 sfan5 what? 16:04 sfan5 I wasn't even here when he raised his complaints 16:05 red-001 !nore 16:05 red-001 huh 16:06 shivajiva I'm not targeting you specifically sfan5, just the lack of prompt action 16:06 shivajiva this was brought to attention yesterday apparently 16:07 nore red-001: uh? 16:07 red-001 oh it's just that it seemed ShadowBot responded to that last time 16:07 nore ... 16:08 red-001 http://irc.minetest.net/minetest-hub/2017-06-02#i_4953882 16:13 benrob0329 That escalated quickly 16:18 * stormchaser3000 hopes there isn't going to be a cyber war in the minetest community 16:19 red-001 yeah we are recovering from one right now 16:26 red-001 anyway no need to use [off] 16:26 red-001 why would a hacker want to read these logs? 16:27 red-001 I mean they don't even have any way to respond 16:30 benrob0329 Any doctor who fans who are good at building? 16:30 benrob0329 I need a new vanilla interior for my tardis mod 16:31 benrob0329 Also, does anyone have a better way of setting meta than relative coordinates? 17:08 Sokomine setting meta? 17:17 Shara Hi all. 17:18 red-001 hu Shara 17:18 red-001 hi* 17:18 Shara I see that I arrive home to find I probaby lost DL's last active admin. 17:18 red-001 seems so 17:19 Shara I['ll talk to him, but I understand his anger. 17:19 CWz Shara, DL? 17:19 Shara My DarkLands server. 17:19 CWz losing admins? 17:19 Shara It's been getting attacked on a regulkar basis for the last few weeks now. 17:19 Shara regular* 17:19 CWz by some script kiddie? 17:19 Shara Zeno has practically vanished, now Tommy says he's quitting MT. 17:20 CWz Why'd Zeno vanish 17:20 Shara Don't know. 17:20 benrob0329 I don't know how someone could hate MT so much so as to try to tare the community apart 17:21 benrob0329 It really is quite sad 17:23 CWz Who is it 17:25 garywhite I don't think we know 17:26 Shara I am very glad that server got removed from the list though. 17:27 paramat any way to whitelist and restart access to DL? 17:27 paramat me too 17:27 Shara paramat: I have exams this week, so barely any time. Thinking about options for what to do. 17:27 Shara The reality is that I can't run it long term without at least a semi-active co-admin there. 17:28 Shara At least not without it turning into some kind of anarchy server, which I don't want. 17:29 paramat ok 17:30 Shara Maybe either Zeno or Tommy will come back. 17:30 Shara It's just the worst time for me to find both of them gone. 17:30 garywhite One thing that we tried before on LS-U was we just started kicking the bot nicks as soon as we saw them (but that only works if the hackers are using bot nicks 17:30 Shara They're not bots, gary. 17:31 garywhite But if they use the Name### type nick, then you could probably just make a bot to kick those users on login 17:31 Shara Those are just app users. 17:32 Raven262 Sure, get me kicked that way :P 17:32 red-001 or me 17:32 Shara just app users or Raven or red* 17:33 Shara or possibly benrob0329 :) 17:34 paramat i suggest closing it for a week for one less worry/distraction and thinking about it in a week's time :] 17:35 red-001 or sniper57O, stormchaser300O 17:35 Shara paramat: better option is to temp close borders Xanadu style, if needed 17:36 garywhite We are going to build a wall 17:36 Shara It's a very busy server that often hits the player cap. I don't want to close it. 17:37 paramat so limit it to known good players? yeah 17:38 Shara Just anyone who already has an account. Prevent new ones only. 17:38 Shara I don't even like doing that, but it should keep the server safe until I have a bit more time 17:39 benrob0329 My in game username is benrob03 for a reason :-) 17:41 garywhite What I don't understand is, why would someone want to attack a server like DL? There are even more crowded servers that they could attack e.g. attacking SwitchPVP could take down about 10 servers 17:42 paramat heh because some people are just like that 17:42 red-001 hey trolls gota troll 17:43 red-001 maybe they have a personal vendetta agiast the server 17:44 garywhite Happy National Doughnut Day 17:45 Shara !!! 17:45 Shara And I don't have any!!' 17:45 garywhite I just read it on local news, of all places 17:45 red-001 lol 17:45 red-001 slow news day? 17:46 garywhite I guess so, aside from another United plane that caught fire 17:49 Krock hi imaginary tenplus1 17:49 Shara Hi Krock 17:50 Krock hi Shara 17:50 Fuchs oh, look, another Swissisen 17:51 Fuchs Krock: you might want to auto-identify via SASL so we don't get 3 lines of you on join, two containing your IP (not that cloaks hide them, but it's still somewhat meh) 17:51 * Krock looks up "SASL" 17:52 red-001 hello Krock 17:52 * red-001 was faster then 11 for once 17:53 Fuchs https://freenode.net/kb/answer/sasl 17:53 Fuchs this thing 17:53 Krock oh well, not sure if Nettalk supports that 17:53 Krock scripting is quite poor 17:53 Fuchs probably not, but I'd consider not using a client not updated in 5 years. But: to each their own :) 17:53 Fuchs an alternative is to use YourNick:YourPassword as server password. Not as good, but should work in most cases 17:54 Krock is that a freenode only thing or will it work on other servers too? 17:54 Fuchs some of the others 17:54 Fuchs it's a standard 17:54 Krock oh cool. thanks :) 17:55 Fuchs oh, wait, SASL, not the password thing 17:55 Fuchs the password thing is probably quite exclusive to us 17:55 Krock hmm.. let's see if this helpef 17:55 Krock *helped 17:56 Fuchs better :) 17:56 Krock heh, thanks a lot. The server password thingy did it 17:56 Fuchs welcome 17:56 Krock didn't know this was possible here 17:57 Fuchs I'm not sure whether we documented it anywere as SASL or CertFP are prefered 17:57 red-001 sasl protects your password right? 17:58 Fuchs no, SASL is just a different way of authenticating. Both will send it as plain text so you should use SSL 17:58 Fuchs (which, despite the name, is completely unrelated to SASL) 17:58 Fuchs SASL authenticates during connect, thus before any autojoins, which has benefits (not showing your IP right away, not annoying channels with 3 lines, possible to autojoin channels that require you to be authed) 17:59 Fuchs server password should do that, but we can't guarantee it 18:00 benrob0329 Krock: Weechat FTW 18:01 Krock benrob0329, will switch to Linux in a few weeks anyway. This will allow me to use a recent hexchat version or any other cool client from that universe 18:01 Fuchs my guess is that he uses Windows, so that will be tricky 18:01 Fuchs Hexchat is available for Windows too, but: sure, do switch :) 18:01 Fuchs also Hexchat (or most other clients you can choose from) will support SASL, so do set that up (we have manuals, link above) once you can :) 18:01 benrob0329 Weechat runs on Windows, you just might want to get a better terminal emulator than cmd.exe :P 18:02 Krock Well, they dropped the support for Win XP long time ago and I'm not willing to upgrade Windows. The support for 7 will not last for long, so better going to Linux 18:02 Krock (speaking of Hexchat) 18:02 benrob0329 You still use XP? 18:03 Raven262 XP was the best. 18:03 Raven262 Then 7 18:03 Krock sure. I already had this same OS on three different mainboards 18:03 Krock best Windows of all time IMO 18:03 benrob0329 Slow windows of current time 18:03 Raven262 I remember using xp until few years ago 18:03 Raven262 I didn't have to reinstall it every 2 months 18:04 * Fuchs cries a little 18:04 * Krock wonders why 18:04 benrob0329 Raven262: what do you have to reinstall every couple months? 18:04 * red-001 dies a little inside 18:05 benrob0329 Also, WinXP being the best says a lot about windows as a whole :-) 18:05 Raven262 Cause windows somehow gets laggy as hell 18:05 benrob0329 Somehow == Cause its Windows 18:05 Raven262 True 18:05 Amaz Best of a bad lot :P 18:05 Raven262 Cuase its windows 18:05 Raven262 *cause 18:05 Raven262 But well i'm now on linux anyway 18:05 Fuchs Krock: because you use heavily outdated software with no security updates :( 18:06 benrob0329 I mean, it lacks a self cleaning tmpfs and logging filesystem 18:06 red-001 windows- works most of the time, but you are on your own when it breaks 18:06 benrob0329 If you move hard disks, pray for God to have mercy 18:07 Krock Fuchs, I could do the Posready hack to fix that one :P 18:07 red-001 linux- works some of the time, and you only need to wait through a few hours of "Just read the docs" and "it's pretty simple" to find someone that knows how to fix it 18:07 Fuchs I recently updated my Windows 7 to Windows 10, because a staff colleague recommended that after me complaining a lot (I rarely boot windows, it was to play a game with a friend) 18:07 benrob0329 red-001: until you learn how to read the docs, and then find that you don't have to ask anymore 18:08 Krock Fuchs, hint: https://github.com/Nummer/Destroy-Windows-10-Spying 18:08 Fuchs that was not so funny, because it failed due to various reasons (had to open the laptop and remove the second ssd), then in the end it only worked from an optical disk and with delayed updates 18:08 Fuchs Krock: obviously already all deactivated, but thanks :) 18:08 Krock good :) 18:08 Amaz Also red, I find that linux only tends to break if you do something to break it ;) 18:09 benrob0329 But if you were like me when I first started using Linux, you WILL break it 18:09 benrob0329 Because you'll get just enough knowledge to be dangerous 18:09 lisac Amaz, I completely agree. 18:09 Amaz I don't think I've ever had an issue with it that I've not caused :P 18:09 Amaz But I've had plenty of problems that I have caused though ;) 18:09 lisac benrob0329, 'sudo rm -rf --no-preserve-root /*' 18:10 red-001 honestly you can do a lot of intersting things with windows too if you do your research 18:10 benrob0329 lisac: never done that, but I have messed up with dd before 18:10 red-001 e.g. alternate shells etc 18:10 lisac red-001, For the short time I had windows installed on my PC, I had to install bash to it. 18:10 benrob0329 But its not made to do that 18:11 Fuchs bah, when I started with Linux (more than 15 year ago, heh) rm -rf on root worked without that stupid --no-preserve switch 18:11 CWz the reason windows slows down after being installed for too long is... recourse it an American product and something to do with how windows prints data to the disks 18:11 CWz i think... 18:11 garywhite Or too much HDD space taken up... 18:12 red-001 huh they even added a shell lancher 18:13 paramat ~tell TommyTreasure sorry about sfan5's comments, most of us do care and that server has been removed now, do come back! :] 18:13 ShadowBot paramat: O.K. 18:13 red-001 paramat, I already told him 18:13 Shara paramat: I'm talking to him now. 18:13 Shara But I think he'll appreciate that as well :) 18:13 benrob0329 Who would have thought though, that I would go from uninstalling Python2 on Linux Mint (hint: don't do that) to compiling my own kernel with a fully modular system 18:14 benrob0329 In just a few years 18:14 red-001 bbl breaking my windows install 18:14 Fuchs benrob0329: I use gentoo, removing python there is slightly more desasterous, because the package manager needs it 18:17 benrob0329 Fuchs: as do I, and that would be...an interesting experiment to do in a vm :P 18:17 Fuchs benrob0329: it's fixable, but it's a pain 18:18 Fuchs you can download a working image of portage/python and use that to re-emerge python 18:21 benrob0329 Fuchs: just a stab in the dark, but I get the feeling that unpacking a modified stage3 tarball might do it too 18:27 Fuchs well yes, but that will overwrite other stuff 18:29 benrob0329 Fuchs: thus the modified part 18:29 benrob0329 But if there is a tarball with just Python + portage that would be better in such a case 18:31 Shara Welcome back TommyTreasure :) 18:32 TommyTreasure ty Shara, especially for your warm comments 18:32 Shara Not a problem. Glad to have you here. 18:34 paramat \O/ 18:37 garywhite Yay! 18:47 TommyTreasure ty paramat. no apologies necessary. :) 18:52 red-001 good to see you again TommyTreasure 18:52 TommyTreasure ty red-001 18:55 garywhite wb TommyTreasure 18:55 TommyTreasure ty garywhite 19:05 benrob0329 TommyTreasure: #MakeMinetestGreatAgain :PP 19:05 benrob0329 (Welcome Back) 19:05 TommyTreasure ty benrob0329 19:07 Shara There.

To me it sounds like server owners just ban him without having any proof 22:49 * Fixer .oO(282. 猫 シ Corp. - SECRETS OF MY AGE [with ローマンRoman] [3:07]) 22:51 IhrFussel To me even the IDEA of banning someone for doing something on an ENTIRELY different server is absurd...you should ban players if they break rules on YOUR server and not if they do stuff on others 22:51 red-001 oh not this again 22:52 * Fixer all the fuzz 22:52 VaultyTowers added a GPU finally 22:52 red-001 VaultyTowers, you sure have a lot of nicks 22:52 VaultyTowers yup 22:53 VaultyTowers I added an AMD Radeon II to a 32-Bit motherboard lol 22:53 VaultyTowers seems to be working so no complaints 22:53 Shara IhrFussel: What are you talking about? 22:53 red-001 IhrFussel, huh are you responding in the right channel? 22:53 red-001 I don't see any talk of banning here 22:53 Shara Darklands is MY server, and I don't even know who angelo1123_ is. 22:54 Shara I certainly don't ban people based on what I've heard they did elsewhere either. 22:54 Fixer VaultyTowers: wat? 22:55 Fixer radeon ii on 32bit motherboard? o_0 22:55 Shara As for whether or not someone has been launching attacks on DL, the answer is yes, they have. 22:55 VaultyTowers Shara, he has a history in Skyblocks and captains corners that got him banned there too 22:55 VaultyTowers ust sayin :P 22:56 Shara VaultyTowers: Whoever has been hitting DL is switching IP address. 22:56 VaultyTowers Fixer, yup 22:56 red-001 here you dropped this "J" 22:56 VaultyTowers dont ask me how but 22:56 Shara And changing names. 22:56 IhrFussel Shara, the ban talk is not about your server...it's about another server that banned him for "hearsay" it seems cause people told me the reason for the ban was because angelo attacked YOUR server with a modified client and caused trouble 22:56 Shara So I certainly haven't made any claim about it being a certain person 22:56 VaultyTowers I wish I could replace my celeron processor with an Antheon II 22:57 Shara IhrFussel: I can't really say much without knowing which other server is involved. There are some servers that will mirror my bans, because I'm also on the team. 22:57 VaultyTowers Shara, I'll give you 2 22:57 VaultyTowers Skyblocks and Captains corners 22:57 Shara But in this case, I find it hard to believe someone else banned a person who's name I don't even know due to my server. 22:57 VaultyTowers but not because of your server 22:58 paramat i feel server admin (gods of their universes) can do what they want, even if that means banning due to bad behaviour elsewhere :] 22:58 Fixer VaultyTowers: athlon II? 22:58 IhrFussel Shara, the question is has there recently been a player who *attacked* your server with such a modified client (even though I'm not sure how you can "attack" a server with a Minetest client no matter how much code you change) 22:58 VaultyTowers Fixer, yes 22:59 Shara IhrFussel: My moderator team has reported a player who is able to kill via command, among other things. I haven't witnessed it myself, but I have seen them quickly switch IP address multiple times to get back on after being banned. 22:59 Shara They also boasted they have a hacked client, and have flooded out at least one IRC channel. 23:00 IhrFussel paramat, and THAT is wrong IMO...a server owner is not a god...there should be rules even the server owner HAS TO follow...a server owner is just a regular human being and not better than the others 23:00 Shara The xban/db file also got wiped after another player (don't knwo if connected) claimed he could get back on after a ban 23:00 nore IhrFussel: a server owner is not a god, but it's still *their* server, so in what concerns their server, they do as they want 23:00 IhrFussel But *some* server owners seem to abuse their powers of having an own "world" which is disgusting 23:01 VaultyTowers Shara, xban is broken 23:01 Shara Tenplus1 confirmed that same player was on Xanadua and was able to delete blocks players shouldn't be able to remove. 23:01 red-001 huh I wonder is this a new exploit 23:01 Shara VaultyTowers: Clearly something is. I'm just providing what details I do have. 23:01 VaultyTowers we have to /ban players and its not effective due to dynamic IPs 23:01 red-001 or if they set this up during the previous exploit 23:01 nore IhrFussel: hosting a server is a service given to the community, you can't force server owners to do anything, and shouldn't 23:02 VaultyTowers Shara, we know this after many players returning in skyblocks 23:02 paramat there are no rules for server admin, they do as they please, if they are unreasonable players will leave 23:02 Shara VaultyTowers: I'm well aware. 23:02 red-001 so what servers have been affected? 23:02 red-001 do they share any mods of interst? 23:02 nore IhrFussel: and if players disagree with the owner, they just shouldn't play 23:03 IhrFussel nore, server owners should accept critique, they should see their own mistakes, they should NOT feel innocent and invincible...but many of them do 23:03 Shara The people using this supposed client on DL were calling it the Permutation client. 23:03 Fixer IhrFussel: i usually don't play on server with abusive admins, best example is xanadu (unfortunately) 23:03 nore IhrFussel: they should listen to critique, yes, but they should rule their server as they want 23:03 red-001 Permutation eh? 23:04 nore if people don't like it, they don't play 23:04 Shara IhrFussel: My approach to admining my servers is I make my rules, as I want them, then I follow them too. 23:04 IhrFussel nore, that doesn't change the fact that some server rules may violate human rights...for example 23:04 red-001 well time to see if there is anything about that on the usually forums 23:04 nore IhrFussel: ehm what? 23:04 nore give me an example 23:05 nore a single example will do 23:05 Shara I don't set rules I am not happy to follow myself. 23:05 nore because I don't think there is any 23:05 * VaultyTowers found a Geforce 2 MX 23:05 VaultyTowers ancient piece of shit 23:06 Sokomine most server owners are very reasonable people and do a very good job. some may be inexperienced with running a server, but those are not present on this channel 23:06 Fixer VaultyTowers: had GF2mx ;) 23:06 VaultyTowers it sux 23:06 Fixer played on it 23:06 VaultyTowers now afk 23:07 Fixer when updated to AGP 4x, speed increase was noticeable 23:07 paramat well yeah there is the law of course 23:07 VaultyTowers oh btw this radeon is making a big diff 23:08 nore IhrFussel: actually, I don't see *how* a server rule could violate human rights 23:08 IhrFussel nore, Freedom of speech ... if the admin doesn't let you talk about the things YOU want (without inappropriate language/topics) it's violating human rights 23:08 nore IhrFussel: no. 23:08 Shara IhrFussel: Actually no. 23:09 nore https://xkcd.com/1357/ 23:09 IhrFussel To not be allowed to ARGUE with admins/moderators is against human rights 23:09 kaeza being on a server is a privilege, not a right 23:09 nore this explains the thing very well ^ 23:09 Shara IhrFussel: I don't run a server so people can claim they have a right to argue with me. 23:09 IhrFussel Oh so you think human rights don't apply to servers 23:09 nore IhrFussel: read what I said. 23:10 Shara Check nore's link really. 23:10 Sokomine IhrFussel: that's...tricky. inappropriate language/topics may be diffrent depending on circumstances (i.e. country) 23:10 red-001 common misconception, freenode of speach applies to goverment not people or companies 23:10 IhrFussel Shara, what if you are WRONG with a decision? You don't let people argue with you? You don't give them the chance to SHOW you what YOU did wrong? You think you do EVERYTHING right? That is extremely ignorant and arrogant at the same time 23:11 Shara IhrFussel: I let them speak POLITELY to me. 23:11 Shara I do not let them yell or scream and attack me. 23:11 paramat i am not defending bad server admin behaviour, just disagree with: "there should be rules even the server owner HAS TO follow" as long as they are within the law 23:11 nore IhrFussel: TL;DR: the government can't arrest you for what you say, but that doesn't mean anyone else has to listen to it, etc 23:11 nore paramat: exactly 23:11 Shara IhrFussel: Do you have issues with how I run my servers? 23:11 IhrFussel Shara, since when is arguing screaming or bad language? 23:12 Shara Because I;m not really sure what this is about. 23:12 Sokomine IhrFussel: it's rarely a problem. even if the server has a rule about not arguing with admins/mods those ought to be open to discussion if someone talks to them reasonable. and most will. if they don't...there is in the end no other way than to choose a better server 23:12 paramat "To not be allowed to ARGUE with admins/moderators is against human rights" hehe nonsense 23:13 Shara IhrFussel: Most "arguments" I ever had on a server were kids telling me they don't need to follow server rules. 23:13 IhrFussel I'm simply saying server owners should feel like regular players but with more responsibility...they shouldn't feel like some kind of king who owns EVERYTHING ... at least this is what I act like on my server and my players seem to like my non-harsh view 23:13 Shara IhrFussel: Again, are you saying you have a problem with how I run my servers? 23:14 Fixer depends on admin 23:14 IhrFussel Shara, no this wasn't about your server or any other particular server...it was just a general rant about how some owners act wrong IMO 23:14 Fixer some admins are hitler like, some - help a lot, some - neutral 23:15 Sokomine IhrFussel: yes. and that's what we here expect and try to do anyway :-) still, a server owner might loose patience if the 100sth griefer comes along. they're humans after all 23:15 Shara It's just that mine is the only server you've named. 23:15 Sokomine Fixer: er...maybe that's a comparison that goes a bit too far 23:15 Fixer Sokomine: dictator-like admins* 23:16 red-001 Reductio ad Hitlerum? 23:16 Sokomine no, godwins law 23:16 IhrFussel I named your server cause some people said a player named "angelo" attacked your server and that's why he is banned there too...but if there NEVER was an attack/or no evidence the ban seems pointless to me and the admin who banned is an a** 23:16 Fixer also, "helpers" can be funny too 23:17 Shara I'm the first to agree there are some terrible server owners, but I go out of my way to be fair. 23:17 red-001 well some sever owners act like a dictator, dictators act like dictator, therefore dictator where server owners 23:17 Shara IhrFussel: My server has been attacked badly enough that I've now prevented any players from joining. I did not want to do this, but my admin team is threatening to quit. 23:17 Sokomine Fixer: admins have a hard life :-) 23:17 red-001 I must have commited at least a ten logical fallacies there 23:18 Shara I can't tell you if this angelo person is the attacker or not. But there definitely have been attacks. 23:18 Fixer i've seen scene where admin helper was arguing with player about replanting melons or smth, it was funny 23:18 Shara AFK a bit. 23:18 Fixer it is like REPLANT THE FUCKING MELONS!!!!!!!!1111 23:18 Fixer i'm adding to it extra drama 23:19 Fixer REPLANT OR DIE 23:19 Fixer best slogan for anarchy server 23:19 paramat IhrF so if i leave this IRC channel and refuse to listen to your arguments, i am then violating your human rights and will be arrested? nah i'm just refusing to argue with someone :] 23:19 red-001 "BY THE AUTHORITY GRANTED TO ME BY THE SERVER OWNER I COMMAND YOU TO REPLANT MELONS!" 23:19 Sokomine well, on a public farm...if a player just takes and doesn't replant...it might be that the new player is either too inexperienced and needs help in controlling his client - or that the player doesn't care and might not fit to the server 23:19 Fixer red-001: lol, yes 23:20 Fixer Sokomine: or admin helper can replant some later anyway 23:20 Fixer it is not like end of the world 23:21 Sokomine Fixer: that's not the issue...but a player who doesn't care about such things may do other things (i.e. cutting trees halfway, leaving nerdpoles, destroying the landscape) that are undesirable on some servers 23:21 Fixer Sokomine: now, thats why admins became Hitler 23:21 Fixer especially admins with OCD 23:22 red-001 "FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THIS DEMAND WILL RESULT IN TERMINATION" 23:22 Sokomine that comparison is still unfitting 23:23 Fixer Sokomine: 90% of players are on mobile, and I'm sure 99% of them are kids, that will cutting trees halfway, leaving nerdpoles, destroying the landscape, building wooden boxes in the middle of the fucking river 23:23 Sokomine i see admins more as hosts of a party. the host might not be terribly exited if you jump around on his bed or pour drinks on the floor :-) on the other side if the host misbehaves the guests are likely not to come back again and leave rather fast :-) 23:24 Fixer so in the end you want to get rid of the kids :} 23:24 Fixer get of my lawn 23:24 Fixer (tm) 23:24 Sokomine hmm. on some places :-) 23:24 Sokomine they can jump happily around on the lawn :-) but on servers where building and keeping the landscape are important those kids might not be at the right place 23:25 Sokomine players with mobile clients certainly have a much harder time with getting around 23:26 Fixer actually 23:27 Fixer it is possible to devide the world: one part for usual mess and another for pro players 23:27 VaultyTowers ^ hubs 23:27 Fixer if without PVP 23:28 Fixer VaultyTowers: hubs + multiple realms on same world 23:28 Fixer kids are happy, pros are happy 23:28 VaultyTowers if someone comes out with an actual RPG (as in millions of dungeons and loot) server I will totally play it 23:36 Fixer devide = divide 23:38 IhrFussel Fixer, PvP can be pos based...my server is marked as "pvp enabled" but as soon as you try to punch someone outside of the arena you get an error message 23:38 Fixer IhrFussel: i love this part of minetest 23:38 Fixer you can define pvp areas and such 23:39 Shara Back again 23:39 IhrFussel I defined a Lucky Block Area, a PvP Area...even a parkour area that automatically disables fly/fast to prevent cheating 23:40 Shara To be honest, I don't think there is anything wrong with saying a server isn't for kids in some cases. Kids certainly are not the focus on my creative server. 23:40 Shara On the other hand, if they do follow the rules, I don't care what age they are. 23:40 Shara But I happen to want a server that is mostly for mroe serious building. 23:40 Shara more* 23:42 Fixer Shara: what I envision: if we have realms in engine/game, just make some realms: 1) survival with kid ghetto 2) pro realm with ladies and gentlemen 23:42 Shara Fixer: Sure, but if I as an admin have no interest in running option 1 there, why should I? 23:43 Shara I have quite limtied resources, bothin terms of my server and my time. 23:43 Fixer Shara: not talking about you 23:43 Fixer just brainstorming 23:43 Shara I know, but just saying in general. 23:43 Shara People are going to run what they are interested in running. 23:43 Fixer 1) survival with kid ghetto 2) pro realm with ladies and gentlemen (whitelisted) 3) creative 23:43 Fixer Shara: yes 23:44 red-001 "kid ghetto" 23:44 Shara But it's also why it's good when groups of servers work together. 23:44 red-001 thats one way to describe that area on a lot of servers 23:44 Shara I redirect kids who aren't really a good fit on my server to TPS when I can. 23:45 Shara Since I also admin there, but the server targets a different audience. 23:45 red-001 just outside of spawn zone, but not too far 23:47 Fixer Shara: in my dirty mind right now: on login to server ask new player: 1) tap this button to join => goes to kid ghetto 2) Glorious PC user: press Scrl+Lock + random button => goes to really good heaven like realm ^_^ 23:47 Shara Fixer: You are still trusting them to click the right thing for them :) 23:47 benrob0329-latop Why not a hub world? 23:48 Fixer red-001: depends on spawn, some spawns are ruins to begin with %) 23:48 Fixer Shara: good luck finding ScrlLock on phone 23:48 Shara Huh? 23:48 Fixer Shara: ScrlLock + Num . 23:48 Fixer .________. 23:48 Fixer fatality 23:48 benrob0329-latop Keyboard 23:49 Shara Why would I need that? 23:49 Fixer if kid has phone with keyboard => unusual advanced kid 23:49 Shara Oh. 23:49 Fixer android software keyboard is shitty iirc 23:49 Shara Well, I wouldn't want to just block all phone users 23:49 Fixer you need to install 3rd party one 23:50 Shara One of the most capable builders I've known plays from a phone. 23:50 Fixer Shara: just separate them in different realms 23:50 Fixer also 23:50 red-001 I don't think I have scrollock anymore 23:50 red-001 lost a key from my keyboard when cleaning it 23:50 Fixer PC glorious user can descend to kidhood and commit kid genocide 23:50 Fixer PvP 23:50 red-001 so I just re-used scrollock 23:51 Shara I just don't see the need to do that really. 23:51 Shara It might be nicer for someone who wants to cater for every kind of player going and can afford to/has time to 23:51 Fixer PC user is too good with mouse and keyboard 23:52 Shara But I'm happy to just have a couple of servers that are doing okay. 23:52 Fixer it does make sence companies separate console and PC matches 23:52 Fixer Shara: you are welcome :} 23:53 Shara Removing phone users from my main world would mean dead server. 23:53 Fixer Shara: discussion was not about you 23:53 Fixer eh, too bad I can't host 23:53 Fixer Shara: yep 23:53 red-001 http://i1.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/508/690/0d8.jpg 23:53 Shara Fixer: Does that mean I can't share thoughts? :) 23:53 * VanessaE wanders back in 23:53 Fixer red-001: over 9000 23:53 Shara Hi VanessaE 23:53 VanessaE Shara: https://imgur.com/gallery/BtrQK 23:54 Shara VanessaE: Give me five minutes there.
