As you may know... Op Sen is being flooded by "kill]randomjunk" bots

Is there anyway we can get rid of them, or do we just have to wait? :\

Can't we make the channel private? Or just do that "say anything = ban" ?

Well, I tried my best but one bot can not handle anything bigger than the smallest floods. It dropped.
Where is Ex when we need him?

It also doesn't seem that I can contact anyone that might be responsible. Usually you can try to reason with people, but I couldn't trace this one at all. All they're doing is spamming "YOU MAD!!!" a bunch of times and I'm like... no, I'm not mad, just confused.

"You mad" is an obscure Internet meme... Perhaps this is some kind of raid?

We could just use channel protection and safelist all SEN members. We also need an alternative channel in case we're flooded.

Unfortunately the problem is that these accounts are made and join the channel at a rate faster than we can ban them.

In that case, can we op more bots on SEN in order to support the banning?

Blizzard really needs to make a system that calculates how many accounts are generated from a single CD-key, and allow only a few accounts to be made every couple of months. If that existed, we would not have a problem picking off a few names every so often, and the ones raiding Op SEN would eventually give up.

Sadly, we do not live in a world of such ease.

Honestly, if they just took a big log of every account made and information (CDKey, IP address) related to it, they could easily tell what's not legit and should be straight up banned very easily. In terms of floodbots, anyway.

Well, now that it's not flooded anymore...
I'd like to point out how I stressed that we may be attacked during mapnight, and that someone with enough banning power must be on that night in case this happens. I only agreed to excalibur because he promised me he will commit to such a thing. So.. where IS ex when you need him?
Fortunately, I changed the mapnight to today at 4pm PST because people wanted it to be on Saturday... Tho that means we may get another attack today

Anyways.
Let's address some issues first, so this won't happen again. We can't leave this to blizzard anyway :\
First of all, why can't we make the channel private, and safelist people that are in op SEN. It's a lot of work, but it is required for emergencies like this. You can also get others to make people Safelisted... but still have 0 access to bot..
I think sm1 told me that you can't do it with "op"s ... only in "clan" channels. Is this true?

Another thing, does Ipban work?

lastly, a secondary channel has been created.. if u all wanna know.. it's the tastily named channel that people go to... PM people if u want to know...

Most of the "advanced" spam bots are designed to automatically create random account names and use proxies as soon as their last IP is blocked.

Even if IP bans could be implemented, there's a fair chance that these meme-whoring bots are hiding behind seven proxies, and that they have Norton. No bans, no counterattacks.

Seriously, though, Unholy, Moose already said that a safelist won't work.
