Bannings and why it doesn't work

[Volga]

Wouldn't preventing proxy connections to the website and game server works for a good deal of these bans as well (understandably not all)?

I understand this would affect some students, military, and government connected players who could then apply for an account level whitelisting ?

Because then the developers would have to spend 99% of their time moderating the boards, banning people in game, and checking the whitelist and email systems instead of developing. If that's the case expect Kunark to come out by 2015.

Not really , banning the proxy connections is a simply vBulletin Plugin. I think the majority of players are home based and thus legitimate white list requests would be few.

Imagine the time they'd have if people like you weren't around. What a concept!
