Hi...!

As some of you may be aware, we've had some issues with a few kids (Taylor Swift, Aus Jayden, Kbanger, Quileh, etc) choosing to join pugs and ddos other users.

We will endeavour to continue IP banning them as we find them but the issue is that these guys can change their IPs and bounce back 2mins later and still join pugs. As a result, some changes have been implemented to stop this occuring:

- Starting a new CG account has been made more difficult
- There is a new pug setting when creating a pug. Down the bottom, it now has - "Must be member for: X months". If you set this to 1 month, then these guys won't be able to just bounce back with new accounts, join Pugs and keep ddosing.

Furthermore, we are now emphasising that all hosts must set game lobbys to "closed" before launching the game. If you need to back out to pick someone up, just end the game at the end of the round, bring the person back in, close the lobby again and resume the pug. This will help prevent some users (idiots) who are friends with these ddosing guys to invite them into your pugs with the aim of helping them to ddos people. On that note, anyone who is found to be inviting these ddosing guys into pugs so that they can keep ddosing will be joining the list of those permanently banned for doing this.

Anything to do with ddosing on the CG pugbot will result to permanent bans site-wide on CG and will not be removed.

Shame we have to waste resources stamping this garbage out, but hopefully it results in the continuation of good pugs

gotta love immature members of the community

Amazing idea.

now i just need to get un pugbanned

Ozfalcon for admin!.. oh wait...

Haha great idea, had one of these idiots ddos someone in a pug I was in the other day so good to see it will be stopped as much as possible.

annoying that you have to resort to something like this to stop this immature shit, but it has to be done

Nice work Falcon

can they still ddos you if your on a strict nat?

Awesome work falcs, hopefully we see smoother PUGs as a result and not have 7 year olds ruining it for others.

Nice work

ill DDOS you.

actually a good idea, cheers. didn't even know i got DDOS'd

How has making an account been made more difficult(just like to know)?

But yeah, the "Must be member for: X months" will help in the long run. This will most likely make PUG's much more competitive, in one way or another.

Good job Falcon, Cod Admins and co.

They can ddos anyone they chose, good idea though.

Anyone can change their IP

i was getting ddosd last night. o.O

BL to the new people who have just signed up and wanna play a pug, lol fail idea.

it amazes me how some people find being a pain in the ass fun

when this happened to me I felt violated
