Server Advertisement.
#1

What you think about people joining (your) servers and telling people to join their own?

IMO they're doing it because they can't get players the normal way. And it only makes them look unprofessional.
I think they're as bad as cheaters, but thats just my opinion.


Give me your thoughts about this.

Agreed. I ban them too, as most of them are completely retarded spammers. Though I made a stock to check if an IP is mentioned in a message:

pawn Код:
stock AdvertisementCheck( string[ ] )
{
new count;
   
for( new i = 0; i < strlen( string ); i++)
{
if( strfind( string[ i ], ".", true ) )
{
count++;
}
}
 
if( count == 3 )
{
if( strfind( string, ":", true ) )
{
return true;
}
else
{
return false;
}
}
else
{
return false;
}
}

Well, I know where to place it. But not how I should use it, should I add "AdvertisementCheck( string[ ] )" inside OnPlayerText ?

On the server where I'm Lead-Admin/Co-Owner, they are banned immediately.

pawn Code:
stock HasTextIp(text[])
{
    new count,bool:count2;
  for(new x=0; x<strlen(text); x++)
  {
    if(text[x] == '.' && IsNumeric(text[x-1]) && IsNumeric(text[x-2])) count++;
    else if(text[x] == ':' && IsNumeric(text[x+1]) && IsNumeric(text[x+2]) && IsNumeric(text[x+3]) && IsNumeric(text[x+4])) count2 = true;
  }
  if(count == 3 && count2 == true) return 1;
  else return 0;
}

He has to use 3 periods and 1 colon, and it's YOUR choice how you use it. You could autoban or you could just prevent the command from being sent.

Well.. I ban them too.. But anyway I don't think if someone advertised his server on your, even a single of your player would type IP to his client.. Like he would have try to remember IP, then do Alt+Tab, then Alt+Tab to check the IP again and so on.. I really don't think anyone would join server advertised in this way.. :P
