ah some good names for my brand new banlist

Alexthementalone · Before February 2015

Wow that's alot of spam accounts.

Thy Cowman · Before February 2015

There is a bot that was mass shared a few weeks ago. What it does is register 15 randomly named accounts and spams any world you tell it to. It can register 15 accounts in about 30 second. Therefore, you providing these names does nothing to fight the spam. The only course of action to remove these spammers from the game would be some coding change to disable the bot from being able to register or connect to the game, or for the admins to IP ban users of the bot.

In the mean time, when you see these bots join your level, quickly type /visible false . This will prevent any new players from joining your level, and afaik this cannot be bypassed by a bot. Keep it this way for about 15 minutes, kicking any of the spam accounts. Typing /visible true will enable users to join your level again. Keeping it on false for a few minutes should make the player targeting your world get bored and move on.

Hmm ok Thy Cowman, this is good info here so thank you very much! I'll keep that in mind next time

I don't know much about programming nor I want to contradict you but...how in the world could a bot register 15 or even 5 accounts so fast? each username would need an e-mail account and each registration should wait like 5-10 min to get approval etc. It seems way too fast, idk just asking

Koya · Before February 2015

What enjoyment do people get from doing this?

Have you got any requests for improvements or is it ok?

There's no email approval for EE, that's why some people have fake emails.

This wouldn't have happened if chat was still one cent.

magic.
In reality, though... registering isn't complicated.
The email doesn't have to exist... or even make sense. PlayerIO supports captcha, but EE does not.
random username, password, email. simple enough for a program.

restricting chat is also an option.

Yup. Or, you know, some administrators that actually care about the game they run.

Dazz · Before February 2015

I will keep those names posted, just in case but...admins can lock this thread if they want.

blizzard · Before February 2015

There was worse in captain9's world.Like 23823892389 guests that could chat like every .1 seconds and actually made alot of us crash.

Mylo · Before February 2015

things like this could be easily fixed with a) email aproval via link in a email (which is actually not hard to do..) and with b) a ip-ban command (look at my suggestion about this topic via the link in my sig.)

i am really looking forward the next updates, in hope for new features in this term.

A captcha would work too, probably better as it's a kids game.

Yea, but free chat is newer.

I know...it happend two days ago again, at first it started with those kind of usernames it had the first time, it stopped after a few seconds and it started again with ''guests''. The numbers went from 900 to 4000 and something idk, in like 5 minutes then it stopped. I wonder, those 23823892389 accounts....and probably counting won't crash the servers one day? Whoever has to clean this mess, I pity him.

I don't think it registers random accounts because they wouldn't have a name.

EE doesn't require approvals on emails maybe they should implement that to stop random account creating and yes you can create account's that fast with bots.

Another feature that could prevent this from occurring (attacks) is making the user enter a phone number for verification if they would like to chat. However this may severely impact the amount of chatting users, and bots might not function properly.

No, I don't have a phone.

Fdoou · Before February 2015

phone verification is a good idea as one option. i've never seen it suggested before

because hexagon is the best forumer ever

Cyclone or Meredith · Before February 2015

Phone verification would cost money for the developers.

No, it wouldn't, because you can get 1 cent easily.
Anyone with a prepaid card (no identity required) could use a $25 card to give chat to 2500 spam accounts.

I don't think anyone's going to waste $25 on spam accounts

Fdoou · Before February 2015
