either way the IP was match to reading these same forum topics. lurker or not he's the one and he is in for a rude awaking, who ever did it either used his own scripts or kept triggering the LGBs. I've been too busy on the client player data base that will instanly match IDs, IPs, and names form allot of server's netlogs, then I'll switch back to the ACP and search our the packets used to attack the servers.
but wither way wesker I have your IP, just have to match it with your name
How do you know it matches an ip to one reading these topics without collecting ip's here?
"yes, but unfortunately for about every ArmA player that connects to our servers is that all the information gathered from (via web or game servers) in any way is simply and legally our property" .... Not when you agree to a disclaimer that states you will not gather information here to use against anybody, so im afraid your mistaken here.
I believe you have all the right to create anti cheat software and ban people, its the nature of the beast. No cheater ive ever known has contested that, as its a part of the game. The problem is when your anti cheat software is compromised it goes back to "hacking my server" and "costing me money". Also, it has to be done right (with 0 TOS violations). Cheaters aren't breaking a TOS, but you might be.
"advance servers like ours record the previous site visited," im pretty sure that would be a violation of the spyware laws in California, heres a little snippet from the law:
"It outlaws the collection, through intentionally deceptive means, of personally identifiable information (PII) through keystroke-logging, tracking Web site visits, or extraction of PII from a user's hard drive"
Did you read that, tracking website visits and collecting PII (personally identifying information), and i hear your based in California aren't you (doesn't matter if you are, if you collect a Californian players ip). Posting images to harvest ip's is "intentionally deceptive", so is logging a persons last visited website, it serves no purpose related to Arma. It also states that you cannot collect someones IP through a piece of software without notifying them. Last time i checked ArmA was a piece of software, and im sure no-one was notified you're collecting IP's with it (or server software)
Id be careful who you upset, especially if your livelihood depends on it. Visiting a cheat website and using cheats isnt illegal, what your doing (especially if you/your business is in Cali) could be. Minimum fine is $1000 per incident, and "incident" can be IP address, i bet you have collected a lot so far. Even if your innocent, the investigation would shut you down for quite a while. You have to excuse me, im on an overly lawful kick at the moment. Just trying to bring things into context, Is boasting about what your doing and, how did Wesker put it, making "cocky & confident posts" really worth risking your business for? Id take a look at my actions if i were you, before you piss someone off enough to make it personal. As i say this might all be BS and me misinterpreting the law, but then again, it might not be
