Once I get my mod privileges fixed I'm going to be on a lot more often to catch griefers. I'll try to be on at least 3 hours a day.

bwog,

I just fixed your privileges..Check and see what you have I don't see an option for setting a ban but you have everything thats listed on the wiki...I also added you to the default admin list(how ever I don't believe that works for more than one user so we shall see)

Something I need to work on is a registration system for the website. I cant quite seem to get the cypher down for the encryption they use for the password hash..Anyone looked through the source and understand the encryption algorithm? C isn't my language of choice...Is it just an SHA Algorithm or is it modified, what version of SHA is it(SHA1, SHA128, SHA256 etc etc)..is it even SHA? or MD5 or DES or what?

You should give me the privs privilege so I can just take away someone's build privilege instead of having to ban them.

EDIT: Ok, griefers beware, I can now take away your building ability!

I think we should have it so that they have to apply somewhere, but we automatically accept it unless they've griefed or something. That way we can keep the number of griefers down.

Yeah I'm working on that part...Registration via the website...But I need to figure out the encryption of the password hash..a simple SHA1 hash doesn't seem to work..I believe their salting the hash but how?

Anyone have a suggestion about how to implement a registration system? I mean I have theories running around in my head but untill I learn how they're hashing algorithm works none of those ideas will work cause they all involve checking a database against the auth.txt file and matching username/password

I'm working on all that..I don't have a lot of time to dedicate to the server (school, finals, family etc..) so in my free time I'm trying to find ways to automate everything(securely)..Sorry about the issues..(Also I just upgraded the server so it's rebooting now may be down for another 20 mins or so) Correction..it's back up now...

You could ask ghostshell (from gameboom.net), they have some script that grants build privileges only to people that register an account on the website. Maybe you could partly reuse their code. Not as intimidating to griefers as having to directly ask the server owner for build access, but it's at least better than nothing.

Could you just for now change the default privileges to just shout? It would really cut back on griefers until you get your system working. I think it's in a file in the world folder, otherwise it's in minetest.conf.

Ok it's been changed to shout as the default privileges...Anyone needing build privs needs to talk to either myself or bwog. Also I just updated the wiki page about that..

Could people PLEASE stop building houses in the sky??? Because when you look at the map you see a bunch of ugly gray squares instead of the ground below. It looks like a griefer took out a giant chunk of the land. If I could I'd get rid of them but I don't want to grief. So please, no more.

If the same house would be on the ground you'd have the grey square on the map, too. Until the dungeon master hits the house which he can't do with a flying one. But then again you have ban privileges so no more sky houses it is.

Yes, but when people build them in the sky a lot of the time it's above another building, so you can't see the other building.

The server is down right now..My internet went out this morning (couldn't pay the bill this month, school, family, no job...you know how it goes) but as soon as I get some cash it'll be back up. Sorry guys..the map will not change while it's down so when it comes back up it will be the same as you last saw it..
