[To ArgonathRPG owners] really important.

[Salvatore_Zambino]

It is the only way, if he doesnt do it, then soon enough you all will be moaning once again about constant hackers and how Gandalf cant deal with it.

+1

Its probably gonna be fixed in a couple of days or so. Ive been banned for 3 months, and trust me I was an Argonath RPG addict. A couple of days wont hurt you ^_^

[Gandalf]

No I didn't I dont banevade.
I just asked to you to unblock those who's oppressed including me and keep the block on the people who does that thing.

mhmdgh1, quite apparent now that you have been ban evading on server. it will do well for your unban request...

Yes, there is a ban on Israel, on most routes. Your best bet is to get a static IP.

:trust:

[Cyril]

Well you can block them(The hackers and banevaders) and unblock the people who is oppressed, Please. Its not fair that I can't play on Argonath Anymore just because these people.
I think you can do this right sir ??

Yes, you admitted.

[Huntsman]

Besides, do you think Gandalf would throw route-bans if there was any other way?

[mhmdgh1]

And now Cutt3r said that I'mma a banevader.... I swear of god I dont.

[NimrodM]

Due to the high number of players from Israel involved in cheating and ban evading we have decided to block a large number of routes.

Well. I'm not blocked but still, I would give my opinion about that.
Gandalf, if you have the abilities to block large group of users from the server. Why wouldn't you block a specific IP's that ban evaders are coming from. Also, there are reliable users which didn't and wont use hacks. You decided to take it collectively and block a 'large' group of users, some of them made nothing and its not right to do that in a collective way.
As the owner you have to fight against those people and not just give up and just blocking away almost a whole country, just because you're tired of that.
That effort, server shouldn't make. I seen even bigger servers which has 500 slots and all of them full, tons of hackers from every state and ban evaders. Still, they doesn't just block a whole country and disappoints their users.

Thanks.

:trust:

I had a moment of confusion there too.

Cutt3r, I think you meant a dynamic IP, my old friend.

[mhmdgh1]

Exactly what i'm talking about, Thank you NimrodM.
 :ps: I'm dont banevade at all.

[Cyril]

"Why wouldn't you block a specific IP's that ban evaders are coming from."

You don't get that they change the IP constantly ? Only the route remains..
Example :
- One guy will banevader with 79.23.45.65, he'll get ban, then return with : 79.23.54.87, ban again, then return with : 79.23.69.10..
Do you imagine the time it'll take to ban all the possible IPs  ? So you block all the IP starting by "79.23.x.x".

[SugarD]

Exactly what i'm talking about, Thank you NimrodM.
 :ps: I'm dont banevade at all.

Once unbanned, if you are still blocked by this issue, then you should contact Gandalf, Aragorn, or Sauron via PM with your IP address, requesting your IP be added as an exception.

[Gandalf]

Well. I'm not blocked but still, I would give my opinion about that.
Gandalf, if you have the abilities to block large group of users from the server. Why wouldn't you block a specific IP's that ban evaders are coming from.

That is exactly what we did. We have blocked every IP route the ban evaders have used.

Also, there are reliable users which didn't and wont use hacks. You decided to take it collectively and block a 'large' group of users, some of them made nothing and its not right to do that in a collective way.

It is our duty to protect the server from hackers and ban evaders. Else we might as well allow it, like those big servers do.
I am never happy to block any route, as it does block potential innocent players. However some people believe that having an IP with a large number of routes  or using a hiding service makes them untouchable. Reality is that it just takes longer for us to run out of patience.

Any player who can provide us with a non-changing IP will be allowed through. However we are not going to run a daily update service.

[mhmdgh1]

You banned the one whos not banevading and you didnt ban the one who is really banevading.

[Huntsman]

One for all, all for one?

[mhmdgh1]

One for all, all for one?

Whats that suppose to mean ?? 

[NimrodM]

I believe that you make the situation even worse.
People from Israel will try to do a bad things towards the server and the attempts will grow up.
I'm not threatening but this kind of movement could lead the community to somewhere else. Somewhere you do not want.
I hope you'll change it.
For now, I doubt about this server.
That's right that you have to protect the server but you just gave up doing it. Like there isn't enough admins. Like there isn't enough people who would like to assist the community by applying to moderation and might be accepted.
Why you gave up? Because you cannot handle this, as I said, you have the abilities and the resources to do so but you just say "Oh, fuck that. Screw them, lets just block 'em and make some rest". For example, massive number of ban evaders and hackers coming from Netherlands, though, many users in the server ARE from Netherlands. Will you block them? I do not think so.
Another example, from the life. Police Officers are there to serve and protect the city citizens. Although, there are numerous gangs in some areas. On daily basis there are street crimes, the police wont just leave this area and make it "Dead" for them, they will fight and wont give up.
Take Israel as "Gang" and the administration team is the "PD" they will fight and wont just make "Dead" specific area.
Rethink about your decision.
