Hostbot avaliability in VIP sigs?

In the end it's all about how many reports the host of the bot gets, nothing else, just like how many reports a host gets when being reported for custom kick, it really doesn't matter if each report is called A, B or Q, if his ammount of reports towards him are out of the ordinary, just remove his hosting rights. That being said, I dunno how many people actually feel like cheating in the first place, they already have this possibility with regular hosting, and with my 1800 games played, I've got...

Hostbot avaliability in VIP sigs?

Thanks for the headsup mate, There are indeed some nasty possibilities, however those abuses in the end are all the same, just like the custom kick and name spoofer tools are for regular hosting, It doesn't always require specific proof in order to remove hosting rights from a person, all it takes is for an admin to see if the number of reports towards him are more than usual, and he's well on his way out. Despite the extra abuse possibilities, I really think initiating hostbots, would improve t...

Penalties for having penalties.

So if a player plays 200 games within a month during a flaming crusade, and he gets reported 5 times within that month for the same mistake of flaming people moderately, would you think it's fair to perma ban such player solely cause of his 30 pp obtained within that period of time?

Hostbot avaliability in VIP sigs?

I never understood why people in dota always insisted on keeping bug abuses they find such a big secret until icefrog fixes it, bugs should be public info, as soon as they are discovered, in order to prevent abuse, as it makes people know what to look out for, the more people are informed the better. Same goes for hostbot abusing, on top of that bothosting are not even allowed by regular users yet, which makes it even more pointless keeping it a secret. I'd suggest getting the facts out so we ca...

Hostbot avaliability in VIP sigs?

Afaik hosts in regular games can kick people already, if you suspect abuse by the host, you can report him and if the given host eventually gets more reports than usual, his hosting rights will get removed. Same report procedure can work towards people offering hostbots, only difference is that people gets a better ping, thus getting a better gaming experience, just as the author of this post describes.

Admins should indeed consider the ammount of games played between each pp's, instead of just only looking at pp history and dish out big amount of pp's cause he thinks the user does nothing but flame and harass. Afaik admins don't have the neccesery tools to take the ammount of games into consideration unless they go in and manually scroll through the users games, which I'm sure no admins do, unless they are about to perma ban a player.

Penalty Points for not showing up

I get the reason why you want to penalize people for not showing up, it is indeed disrespectful when wasting other peoples time, especially if your closing third game in a row cause of such people. However I've never understood why DL wants to penalize people with points, as people with high leave rate, will only confuse the match making system into thinking their less skilled, due to low points. People should instead be penalized with temporary bans, it has a much better impact on people, than ...

Quoted from "Carnifix" cant think of any good topics for everythink that you want into sub menus i cant see what you want infront of my mind I would make a rollout menu for leagues, Beginner league, SIG and VIP. ;-) A forum button, A registre button A news button shouldn't be needed as they will be filling most of the frontpage already. A menu called FAQ(maybe another name would suit better) where a rolldown menu lists rules, contacts, advertise on DL, support, how to write a support, and admin...

Hey again, I promised you my take on how a new frontpage could look like, and while I was working on it, I realised what I already knew, that if this is to look good, it will take a while to complete. I could spend more time on it, but since none of the owners of DL has yet cared to comment on this topic, I'll take that as a hint that they really don't care. Thanks for showing an interest tho Carnifix.

If he was being trolled, im quite sure he would of felt the needs to reply to my last post, where I answered his questions.

Quoted from "Carnifex" a good community doesnt say to a neutral comment something like this Quoted from "knekker" You don't need to get all red in the face when proving a point... Your absolutely right that some people don't feel comfortable posting when having people like Dick masterson and the gang harassing people should the poster make just one slight mistake. Concerning my comment to Mystogun, your actually completely missed my point. Mystogun was seeking a conflict, I was merely making hi...

First I just have to say that I really hate how the comment option in the News and SiG system work, you can't write "can't" without the system changing it into "can/'t". you can't skip lines in order to make your post seem less like a wall of text, without the system adding alot of jibberish code, and still forcing it into a wall of text with jibberish code here and there. But back to my main point, it's no secret that DL's comradeship among the community is little to none existent, there are ar...

Hostbot (= reconnection tool ) in VIP games

Ah, well not everybody should be allowed to host a hostbot, this should be an aproved process, also making sure it's a bot located on a good solid connection.

Being replaced by name spoofer and proofs for it?

You could also try something profound and be logged into bnet Before joining an actual game, not only can you now join the game right away, thus staying one step ahead of the spoofer, you also avoid having the rest of us waiting on you. Sadly this is a great concept, which alot of players here on DL have quite a hard time understanding.
