IP and MAC address questions

Hi all,

I'm curious if anyone knows what the gms look for to find other accounts associated with a bot account that was banned. I read through the forums about ip bans and such, and I'm sure it varies from server to server, but just curious what techniques you have seen (especially on iro)

- For IP address bans, is it all accounts that have been used on that ip over the lifetime of the server? Is it the IP address used to create the warpportal account? Perhaps both? I would imagine wp account creation is on a different db server.
- Do the gms have access to the mac address, and can they use the mac address to ban all accounts existing on that mac address?

GM's dont have an access to the mac address

For some servers, some packets encode the current computer's mac address. However, kore doesn't do that and just gives out random mac addresses. So it might be that if you don't show a "valid" mac address, or you have too much variance on mac addresses you play from, that might be a red flag no your account.
