Rinshiro	yeah i did pager ban him..but dose that not allow him to come in the game?

Foomer	Yes. Pagerbanning someone automatically prevents them from entering any games hosted by you.

Rinshiro	okay cool, I've also got the s_admin, tho i get 2 warnings on the src.density and visibility (I am a n00b at coding) GM_ghostform() set desc = "() Toggle invisibility and lack of density" set category = "GM" src.density = !density src.visibility = !visibility

digitalmouse	You should contact Spuzzum about that - it's his library I think, and he may not have upgraded it to work well with the latest BYOND release, if that is the problem...

CableMonkey	This only works if you are hosting via DreamSeeker.

If anyone knows anything about networking, then they probably know the possible hazards of IP Banning....like banning one address actually banning multiple people....or the player having a non-static address. However, being that there is now a quota on how many keys a person can own per email address, doesn't this in a way make IP banning more pointless? (yes, I do know of places like hotmail.com where you can create as many addresses as you please)
