Every group of people / clan / person if wanted downloads this program which they can add usernames to - if that person joins a game, there is an auto-kick function. So, it's really a bot that checks before the game starts.
www.banlist.nl. It registers leavers, and people can add names to it. Most of the lists are local meaning if someone has put you on a banlist then the likelihood is you join another game and you're not banned in that one. But there is a certain amount of 'approved hosts' which share all their banlists and people can download those. If you're on one then you can appeal them on their forums to overturn the banlists.
Er... damn, banlist ain't just for dota. Actually I find it useful for keeping track of people. I usually don't use ban or kick or any other "evil" functions. It has a rating system. You can add info notes and ban notes(that I use for diffrent purposes, like a second info category).
Wonderpriest - I've always wondered what breed of people everybody from the dota community is... (Like, then seem never to think, they probably do not know the meaning of the word "Logic")
Hm... yeah I play alot DotA and seek pro games with good hosts or so who has atleast country check and ping ^^ Banlist prevents some of people who ruin these games to ruin other games.
If in game name is saied for Experts and then comes some guy and starts ruining game what takes 1h atleast or so then it is real time waste. To prevent that these kind of people are banned.
Atleast it was first made for it.
Sooda imagine this:
You play singleplayer, you beat the hell out of hard computer 1 against 3 and decide it coudl be a good tiem to go on multiplayer. You ask anyone how to join - They say press custom map thingy game or sword. You decide try custom game. Yo usee whoel screen of "Dota Dota Dota"
Its writthen - experts, pro etc. You think - I play not bad, why not to try it?
Enter the game. You buy a recipe paper without items and voila. Youre banned till the end of your days.
Is that fair?
You ban people for ruinign games eh? Well you ruin their day by banning them. So what, they should bann you on the real life? And then of course, share heir banlist. In that case, all you will be able to do is to sit in the closet and play dota - Everyone knows you, everyoen ignores you. Happy end.
I just got to watch the video because even though I was there I was trying to work out tech problems with the chat since I was the social media guy so I was distracted but check it out guys the video is super fucking great!
Looks like Google fixed whatever mistake that made the recipes on the site go crazy and we are no longer trending towards a recipe site lol - I don't care though because it motivated me to spend alot of time on the site improving it and at least now the content people are looking at is not stupid and embarrassing like it was when I first got back into this like 5 years ago.
They also were digging threw old shit at the sheriff's office and I tried to get them to give me the old electronic stuff, but they said no. They can't give it to people because they might use it to impersonate a cop or break into their network or some shit? idk but it was a shame to see them take a whole bunch of radios and shit to get shredded and landfilled
Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.
