Well it would take a little longer for the people to get back in.

No. But, you could have a boot command that sends them to a completly different server, spam the heck out of them until they must reboot the entire computer! muahahhaha. I'm just kidding so please don't take this seriously :P

[Edit]Added a word in to make this make sense :P

ALT+F4 to boot DS

That's like a website being allowed to close your web browser.

It would be better to just send them to an isolated place and mute them. They cant cause any trouble there.

Do you mean you can't or you can? Because a website can close your web browser.

There is a way to do anything in almost anything you code in. It doesn't have to be coded in, you just have to know what to use to crash or freeze their computer. Such as connecting to something in BYOND that spams you several messages and using tons of procedures.

[edit}you could also just link them to a website that would freeze or crash the computer as well[/edit}

HeHeHe. You guys just gave me a great idea for a library. You could write a verb that just infinitly repeats a message to one person... mmmmmmm. Of course, they'd probably hijack it.

You do this I will make sure that you get a permenant ban from all of WindArc's games. Unless you use it on yourself for your own sadistic pleasure.

[edit]it wouldn't be all that hard to code anyway. just call a proc when they login that loops a message and at the end of the loop it calls the proc again.[/edit]

I meant for it to be used on spammers by moderaters.

Wow, I left and went back to coding, so I haven't checked in a while. I don't want to crash anyone computer, just shut down DS. :P

I will be making a jail code as soon as I make a jail. :)

Simple enough to do, but is the spammer really worth all that wasted bandwidth?

mob/admin/verb/Boot(mob/M in world)//define Boot verb
del(M)//delete him
notallowed+=M//add him to notallowed
sleep(6000)//sleep for 10 mins
notallowed-=M//remove him from notallowed

hmm i was wondering, couldn't you define macros for f4 and alt, then call them for the person your booting in your boot verb to achieve what your trying to accomplish?
