>>3097 >IPban? Have you flooded the site with a bot or something or did you just simply post porn pics in blue boards? No, I was one of the "innocent" that was affected by the ban. It happened after the recent raids on /mlp/, so I deduced some of them might have originated from the same /24 or /16 subnet.
>I had used a rangeban for once /pol/ spammer last year and I had to use the widest one because he used a VPN oh, so you're a mod after all Now, I'm not exactly sure about this, but as VPNs are built around privacy protection they would rather prefer a diverse range of singular IPs spread wide across the address space, rather than continuous allocation. Besides, most of VPN providers aren't ISPs I think so they don't lease large IP blocks. So applying a large range ban against someone with a VPN might not be as effective as you think, because most of the addresses won't belong to the provider, and that guy may get new IP on different subnet probably effortlessly. But the wide range might actually hurt a lot of bystanders. >for trolling purposes Was that really ban worthy? And bringing out the biggest guns, especially?
>it´s mostly an idea for the reactions. Nothing else. 'for the reactions' is probably the whole idea why GETball was born. Many people have high expectations of the upcoming GETs, and you know how it goes on the internet, would really be a shame if someone were to spoil it... >I wouldn´t know how to carry it Eh, there's a multitude of scripts freely available nowadays for everything. Although the biggest factor is undeniably luck except when it's a modget. This overwhelming availability of scripts and exploits for all kinds of purposes almost makes me miss an older era of less secured internet I never got to truly experience. Because then, at least going with the mythos, you had to have at least some knowledge to for example host a site, run a chan, and exploits were way simplier (a simple SQL injection would do), but those didn't came in cookie-cutter form like today, but rather as a wisdom one had to digest and apply it himself. Nowadays even the local village idiot can do all that and more. It kind of takes away magic from this stuff probably like commercialisation did to many things before.
