Well long story short, I can't access my old steam account, so I have a second account that I play on, so some butthurt admin came on while I was playing and he's like "You're fake" etc then after the game he perma banned me and I was like wtf? - I've been playing on those servers for years, regardless. So yeah, that's about it really.
One can prevent them completely with firewall rules and good hosting, but you need learn a lot. Turns out hosting game servers is neither easy nor cheap. Quite a few ppl who obtained a profession out of hosting community servers and learning to improve it.
He may run out of his pocket money to buy enough power, and then you can try to buy even more on your side - this is where "it's not cheap" part comes into play.
I've seen many dos attempts mitigated with good enough firewall configuration (and enough bandwidth to hold it obviously). Sure someone can come up with something better, but 99% it's some clueless guy who's just mad. And this is in q3 and similar. Dunno about ql but I'd hope they improved protocol to be harder to spoof or use reflection.
If it's so impossible to prevent dos then how did bethesda's servers run for so many years? Or any service on the internet? Answer - it's not free to execute successful attack and service provider can make it even more expensive.
I don't know you, just reading esr.
I didn't say you succeeded in your extortion attempt so yes, you are a failed extortionist.
He didn't extort you, he was in his right. Servers are his property and he can invite whoever he pleases to play on them.
It doesnt actually matter if its his server or not, he still extort me or no? If you would have read the post carefully enough, then you would know what i am talking about.
Right, you dont know me. So you are not in the position to call me a cheater, IF you dont even know how i am playing.
Just some power-hungry admin banning me cause I was smurfing or I was fake, when everyone on the server knew it was me anyways. So a proper moron move.
Drop this lame shit qlive with retarded admins, come to q4, Sanchez is the god of wisdom and fair judgement, so far only 160 people are banned on his discord.
