Declined Account Age Requirement

[Vamp Lad]

There needs to be an account age requirement or something, because people that get banned literally make an account and comeback 5 minutes after.
My Point is; Accounts need to be at least around a day old to join blackwonder servers or something like that to prevent cheaters from joining back instantly, an improvement with the IP ban could really help aswell.

we have a system in place that bans cheaters alt accounts. (if already banned) if its not working then tell Benedevil.

If the bot crisis has taught you anything, it should be that cheaters are resourceful. They can easily create a large number of accounts simultaneously. Requiring an account age requirement will not stop them for very long, if at all.

IP bans are always a sensitive topic. In short, they are not great for good reasons. Most hackers will have a VPN active, so they just switch region or reconnect and they'll have a new IP. We try to improve our anti-cheat to overcome the most blatant cheaters. But sadly there is a fine balance between false positives and true positive detection.

The day limit is an idea, but would need research and data collection before being executed

We have a plugin in place to collect data, but we have not decided to move forward with such ban yet.

Maybe in the future...
