Player history (Moderator)

[PotatoCreator]

Greetings! My idea is specifically for moderators. So lets start with an example.

1. mod1 is playing on server and bans a player1 for breaking a rule.
2. mod1 leaves the server.
3. player1 evades his ban and is playing on the server again.
4. mod2 joins the server and without the knowledge that player1 has evaded his ban. doesnt do anything and continues to play.

As now, there is "bans" command, which doesn't reveal much information.

So the idea is to create Banned players history page. As a simple command, Moderator could check the list of currently banned players or check target players history.

Best option for this would be an rcon command. Exaples:

banhis [ƤØŢĀŤ0|Co] This command would check ban system and output players previous bans, reasons, dates and ips. Output: Player ƤØŢĀŤ0|Co has 69 bans on record [01/09/2022] 127.0.0.1 ƤØŢĀŤ0|Co Evade+Bot client 1month [01/08/2022] 127.0.0.1 ƤØŢĀŤ0|Co Bot client 1week and so on.

whois 127.0.0.1/Nickname This command would check the name used last time with that ip. Output: Last player with 127.0.0.1 was seen using name ƤØŢĀŤ0|Co on {server}. [01/09/2022

This requires evil actors to identify with the same nickname every time. They probably do so now, but if we add this feature, they're probably going to stop. Then this feature doesn't seem very helpful anymore.

I've got an idea.For example:

• Mod1 bans P1 with a special cmd.
• Server send this ban message with P1's ip to master which it registered.
• Then master send this ip to all servers registered.
• When P1 join a server registered,server will check P1's ip then refuse his/her request.

It's very useful to lock a player who did bad things,because nickname of a player is easy to change,but ip doesn't.
Mods also don't need to check manually then ban,servers can refuse bad players by itself.

IP is as easy to change as nickname for some people. Plus, a malicious registered server could ban some IP so that some people are banned from all registered servers with no idea why.

Let me fix this:
Only DDNet offical server can ban players to master.But if some offical server ban a player,all servers should refuse him/her even it's not a offical server.
I know that a personal server can pass a banned player,but they are much fewer than normal servers.

[Ninecloud2077]

For example,there are 10 servers in a country.A player with 5 ips joins and breaks a rule.

• If Mod bans this player by normal cmd,he/she need to ban for 10 times,then this ip finally can't join any server.But player has other ips,so Mod are going to ban for 50 times.It's very tiring.
• ban to master can't refuse same player with different ips,but Mod only need to ban for 5 times,then player can't use any ip to join the game.It's much more convinient.
