IP's vary for every user like there's no tomorrow. Few people have a static IP.

How many IP's are logged for the average user? I'm assuming most active players play 90+% of their games from one IP address

Every IP ever scored or posted from is linked back to your account. It's what lets me find every account linked to an IP.

I've seen up to 50+ IP's on one account.

Re: New Hacked Scores thread

Then how about accounts that are known for a fact to be alts of good players (VC+ AAAs) are just thrown into this system manually? There really aren't that many right now and it wouldn't take that long to do when/if the code is written.

Some people could just be fags and keep creating accounts over and over to troll the admins with more work, but nothing's stopping you from IP banning them :o)

Re: New Hacked Scores thread

If a system was put in place where people could set that the account was an alt, and these accounts weren't included in rank calculation, would people use it?

Re: New Hacked Scores thread

I'd use it if the ranks were "ghosted". Like, I could see my own personal bests in my own level rank, but those ranks were never recorded to the global leaderboard viewable by everyone.

Otherwise... Why even bother making an alt. Just play while not logged in.

Re: New Hacked Scores thread

That's not what I'm saying the system would be, the person on the alt would still receive ranks for scores they get according to what the current scoreboard for that song looks like, their score just wouldn't bump anyone else down. That's why I called it 'ghosting'.

The name of the alt would never appear on any high scoreboards but the player would still receive the rightful rank for playing a song. No one's levelranks get fucced with.

How would this help? It still would allow those who decide to "troll the boards" to still do it.

On the "ghosting" crap, what zeroskill said.

I thought part of this discussion was to see how to "prevent" players from hacking the scoreboard, not find ways to temporarily satisfy those who have 239489023 alts or those who want to "test" or abuse crap.

Re: New Hacked Scores thread

Well, the details of the system can be tweaked later when the system is added.

Re: New Hacked Scores thread

A good system would be to inform an administrator that you'll have an alternate account. If you don't inform, the account will be banned. Simple as that.

Also, what is with the "You gotta figure that once you've AAA'd the majority of the songs in-game, it gets extremely tiresome playing the same 20/50/100/whatever# of songs over and over again in an effort to improve those ranks" statement? This gives the implication that there aren't enough hard songs ingame, and the hard songs that are in game are basically just improving by a few less goods at a time. This is a really poor excuse to make alternate accounts that are also bumping down others' ranks - which is why the "alternate account approval" system would make everything so much simpler.

Anyone that's paid attention to the alternate account problem has noticed that people are constantly trying to figure out who is who. Getting approval of an alternate account first would prevent all the hype about "wtf who is this person jacking up ranks and shit" and would prevent excessive score abuse.
