-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Help Tag : ban Help Keywords : Ban, Unban Last Updated : 2021-04-10 21:13:33 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BAN UNBAN These commands prevent anyone from a site with a hostname containing the site substring from logging in to the game. You may ban a site to ALL, NEW or SELECT players. Banning a site to NEW players prevents any new players from registering. Banning a site to ALL players disallows ANY connections from that site. Banning a site SELECTively allows only players with SITE_OK flags to log in from that site. Ban with no argument returns a list of currently banned sites. You may also "screen ban" a site. This is similar to a NEW ban, but instead of banning new players outright, it displays a message to all AVTR+ online informing them that a new player wishes to be accepted. The AVTR+ may then decide whether or not to allow that player to join. This is useful to prevent problem users using offensive names and the like while still allowing legitimate newbies to enter the game, but is not an ideal long-term solution since an AVTR+ needs to be present and able to respond promptly to requests for acceptance. Unban removes the ban. ban [<'ALL' | 'NEW' | 'SELECT' | 'SCREEN'> <site>] unban <site> > ban new ai.mit.edu > unban ai.mit.edu Note: it is helpful to use numeric address whenever possible. All bans must be posted to the ban board (obj. 6918) as soon as possible after they are placed, or they may be removed. Your post should include the reason for banning the site and, if it's temporary, how long it should last. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
