I think asss should restrict multiple logins from the same macid/ip. It can be a per connectas option in global.conf, the default being 2 simultaneous logins from one person.

Also as a work around for a flaw in SSC biller, you should only be allowed to create 1 new account a day. So Asss would have to ignore the regform/demodata from users trying to make multiple alias.

Implementing these changes shouldn't effect legitimate users, but will hopefully deter disruptive players.

1 new account a day? Lol, hope you aren't setting up a lot of bots. I have legitamatly made 10 accounts in a day. Having to spread that 5 miniute task out over 10 days would truely suck.

As for the multiple logins, make the ability to do it a capability, again for the purposes of bots. Can't have a bot server and then only get to put one bot in the game.

The bots would connect through the VIE connectas anyway. Also go to a subgame2 zone if you want to make loads of new accounts. One more step for the would be disrupter, slowing them down.

I saw a load of spam accounts is HS today, I don't know if they were bots, or different people or the XP trick, but I didn't find it amusing.

I thought connectas was what distinguishes the different virtual servers in game? Doesn't the multipub module module use it to determine the default arena?

Boy, it's a darn good thing Qndre isn't trying to write his own client, because he doesn't have a single clue about how subspace works... Oh, wait...

You are right (both times), just make it a capability and hardcode the max simultaneous logins to 1 for all listen ports. It is too difficult to work out which port a player came in by, which is needed for a setting lookup.
