Dealing with Multis

[Devari]

How shall we deal with multis? We DO have very active admins, but not everyone can catch the cheaters. There have already been two kills by the same person.

I propose:

1. A special disabled type (say, number 9) for RESTRICTED accounts. RESTRICTED accounts will be able to use turns up until the end of protection - from then on, they may not use turns until set to normal.
2. By default, all accounts from the same IP are set to RESTRICTED.
3. For a RESTRICTED player each page will, just above the footer status bar, have an admin contact form.
4. The contact form sends an in-game message to #1 and e-mails to those admins who choose it.
5. An admin logs on and approves/disables RESTRICTED accounts.

(Note: Any account unrestricted will stay normal even if another account signs up from the same IP. Only new accounts will be RESTRICTED. Example:

Slasher signs up as Slasher (#56). He is normal by default.
gondor signs up as Runes (#57). He will be set to RESTRICTED and must contact the admins to be validated. Slasher will, however, stay normal.



Thoughts?

I definetly say by default restricted.

Looks good Devari

Definately fair; what's our current system for stopping multis?

[Devari]

Uh... Accounts with same IP are highlighted in the user admin panel... :*laughs*:

I think it's a good idea.

I normally look at the IP and e-mails once a day. If I can get on, that is. If they have the same IP and e-mail, I normally set one to Multi, and allow the active account to respond telling why he/she has two accounts. If their story is credible, I will set both to a legal Multi.
