EJECT (Wishlist)
EJECT // Wishlistm0eJun 17, 1998, 3:19pm
I wish they would fix the eject, so that when someone is ejected for
an hour, or even a week, they dont return in 3 minutes! this would go a long ways towards handling some of the problems on the GZ's. m0e dthknightJun 17, 1998, 3:39pm
m0e, eject bans (temporarily of course) the IP, not the person... and
even if it DID ban (temporarily) the person, they could still come back as a tourist with a different IP... I think that's right at least :) [View Quote] -- Dthknight - dthknight at earthlink.net - ICQ: 2603180 Dthknight Central: AW 1875N 2225W Home Page: http://home.earthlink.net/~dthknight/ "Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one." - Albert Einstein xavarellaJun 17, 1998, 4:59pm
Who are you ejecting for an hour or a week??? Seems a bit severe to me.
And, as Dth states in his following post, the ejection feature is based upon IP address and not name. Wooooohoooo....glad I've got a dynamic IP! :) [View Quote] technozeusJun 18, 1998, 4:08am
That was the way I understood it too. I wonder if it would be possible,
with a modification, for AW to determine the user's ISP and their login on that ISP, or something of that nature. TechnoZeus [View Quote] odysseus .Jun 18, 1998, 4:20am
I think it is not difficult to assign a second number (i.e. a serial number)
to eatch installed browser....Then it is very easy to eject persons....not IPs... But as Rolland told me in the past about this , COF have more serious problems to solve...( hmmmm.....perhaps COF doesn't care to mutch about peace in virtual community of AW) Odysseus [View Quote] m0eJun 18, 1998, 4:33pm
this is also my thought, a second # enbebbed in the software, that is created
when the log on to the worlds the first time, and hard to get to/change, without trashing the program. had we something like this when COF too over and saved the worlds, I dont think the 'banning' issue would have ever come into being. as for "COF have more serious problems to solve". this does seem to be the party line, when asked to do something that should have been fixed ages ago. m0e [View Quote] > I think it is not difficult to assign a second number (i.e. a serial number) > to eatch installed browser....Then it is very easy to eject persons....not > IPs... > But as Rolland told me in the past about this , COF have more serious > problems to solve...( hmmmm.....perhaps COF doesn't care to mutch about > peace in virtual community of AW) > > Odysseus > [View Quote] technozeusJun 18, 1998, 10:22pm
Perhaps when a new installation logs onto the uniserver, a number could be
randomly generated, attached to the end of the user's current IP adderss (at the time the number is generated) and stored redundantly in a few places, such as the cache, the system registry (which as far as I know is not presently used to store any AW information, and I personally like it that way), and the aworld.ini file. Then is one of these is missing when AW starts, it would be restored from one of the others, and if the one in the registry does not match the others, they could all be checked to see if they had been ejected. Just a thought... probably not practical. TechnoZeus [View Quote] |
