Doesn't help against people that use remote control software to change places. Toon is logged in from the same PC/IP the whole time.

Staff here said this is already bannable

You should drop off the list if IP changes IMHO

It's all but impossible to detect VNC-style software because it takes control at the OS level and "remotely controls" it the same way as an ordinary user. In fact, if I were a betting man I'd put $20 on at least 1/4 of manastone /listers doing exactly this. The only alternative is to drop on/off to switch with another person (risking losing your position) or using a ton of Adderall to do it yourself.

Oh, and for basing it on IP address, that wouldn't help at all. When two people remotely control one computer, that one computer maintains its same IP. All it would hurt is people whose connection goes down (ie. the people /list is trying not to kick off), because they get a fresh IP from their host (or VPN) when they reconnect.

IMHO the problems with /list are NOT technical in nature: they're systemic. The only solution is for the system to change (eg. to short/fixed length lists that you have to win a random to join).

I'm assuming that because of this the .dll file P99 has that scans things wouldn't pick up the VNC software because it doesn't interact directly with the client? If it could pick that up I'm guessing it means it's scanning everything on your comp which would of course not be okay.

But then we wouldn’t get the hilarious stories of people doing 4 day’s straight hitting an afk box! Those are some of my favorite threads.
