Don't expect a reply or action to be taken. SA-MP isn't liable for people being assholes. Deal with it yourself.

What do you mean by "deal with it yourself" ? That doesn't makes any sense, if what you're trying to say is deal with it using proxies.

Isnt that colorhosts job?
Also, people dont get blacklisted. They might get banned from the forum for stupid behaviour, or there servers can be taken from the masterlist in special cases (using such bots is such a special case)
Just PM some mod.

Murderers love all the attention, but media still talk about them.

Colorhost just has to hand in the case to the police, so they got the permission to follow the route back, and in case the attacker doesnt stop forever right then, that guy will end up with a quite bad childhood. Proxies do not give any anonymity, private guys just arent allowed to take a look into their data.

Hope they considered this is the back-from-school cycle, and could easily limit the timezone of the attacker.

The moderators should actually take actions, since the guy is breaking SA:MP's policy. He is actually breaking plenty of those rules. What is the point of having those rules if nobody is going to take action?

Let Colorhost take care of the problems regarding DDoS. SA-MP will not be able to "ban" anyone. If they ban his IP he could simply get a new server to host his server filled with bots on.
