When you ban a user, by computer, what does that do? Does it just ban their IP or does it put a cookie on their machine?
Thanks

Re: Banning Users
The PC ID is a random number saved as a Flash cookie on the first connection. The IP address is separate from that. You can blacklist either one or both in combination.Zabulus wrote:When you ban a user, by computer, what does that do? Does it just ban their IP or does it put a cookie on their machine?

So if the user clears cookies, he would no longer be banned right?

Flash cookies are separate from normal browser cookies. They are not easily cleared. A player would have to know where they were stored and manually delete the file. And that only affects the PC ID, not the IP address.Zabulus wrote:So if the user clears cookies, he would no longer be banned right?
