To stop alt havoc (1):
Deny connection to Skyblock if the user is using a VPN. The error message would kindly ask him to turn it off and try to re-connect.






(1) Alt havoc refers to breaking rules while using an alternate account, which are obtained through purchasing another Minecraft account, websites that give away accounts or other. Please note: These websites are illegal, and several of them have been shut down by Mojang (failure to the shutdown would result in Mojang taking legal action)

 

No.

 

What issue is he talking about that vpns cause?

 

Alt havoc. But I find it very wierd that you just say "No." even if you do not properly read/understand something contained in the post. I advise you to ask before making decisions.

 

Mhm, protection. But the only person which could see their IP is (I believe) supermod and administrator. So either they don't trust them or they don't know that normal players cannot figure out your IP via. Skyblock

 

Lots of people go vpn only on the internet to be safe. You can't just deny people the right to play on the server because they want to be safe

 

What safety would they receive from using a VPN on Skyblock? dolpinmilk

Also, updated the thread to make the subject more obvious

 

And I guess the considering resulted in them not liking it?

 

mhm... let's see.

 

Support. I think going further with this will probably do less harm than good, it eliminates the possibility of having spam attacks that just keep coming back even after moderators have banned the player or the IP.

 

I use a vpn to connect all the time, we should be allowed privacy.

 

You get no privacy from using a VPN on Skyblock.

 

The only scenarios that make me find this unappealing is if someone who casually uses a VPN for safety (or whatever reason) tries to log on to the server to find that they are not allowed. They could quite possibly think "oh, they're trying to gain access to my ip" if they're attempting to join for the first time.
Or, even the count of players who casually use a VPN decide to just stop playing because they don't feel like disabling it every singly time they want to play.

I don't personally find those reasons extravagant or dangerous enough to the point that makes this suggestion out of the question. So, I wouldn't mind this.

 

Yes, my real ip is hidden.

 

Tell me, what privacy does that give you on Skyblock?

 

Mods can check your ip address.

 

No they can not.
