Zhong Xina Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 This would make things a lot easier. Back when I ran a gmod server many years ago, I had a script (which I recovered) that would automatically ban anyone who tried to avoid their ban by logging in with a shared account. Sure, they could just buy a new copy for $10 but this will weed out a lot of kids who don't have the means to buy new copies of gmod. My copy: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Onf8SJfgspv8mTqP_dYqa9fXNFMJh0Lz/view?usp=sharing All you need to do is unzip the entire thing into the addons folder and add the Steam API key for this server into line 4 of sv_familysharing.lua. Alternatively, you can get an official copy from Github at https://github.com/C0nw0nk/Garrys-Mod-Family-Sharing The one at my link just has stupid settings like "kick only (no ban)" and "IP ban" disabled. Plus the legacy ban reason that I believe this server had at some point ("Banning x for trying to use a shared account to avoid his ban! u got shrekt"). I remember there being something like this a while back but it must have been removed or been broken since. Again, this would prevent a lot of headache.

Georgio (67th Regiment) Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 If this works on TitsRP that could be an excellent addition to the security of the server. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhong Xina Posted January 19, 2020 Author Share Posted January 19, 2020 We already have that here. If we do it's obviously broken as I have not seen that ban reason show up once in at least a couple years and people have admitted to using shared accounts with no issue. I know this server did at some point, but it either broke or got removed accidentally. I just tested this script on my old server and it's working fine.

Zhong Xina Posted January 19, 2020 Author Share Posted January 19, 2020 at one point Have I not made it clear that if that's the case, it doesn't work anymore? Or it may have been removed? Personally, I remember seeing people banned for it automatically almost daily, over two years ago. Since then I haven't seen it even once, and I have recently banned people who admitted to using a shared account. Just because it may have happened to you two years ago doesn't mean it's still working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walter the Assaulter Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Come to think of it, I haven't seen it go off in a while and it'd usually go off several times a day. We definitely used to have it, did we remove it? Why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carelos Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 There are ways to bypass this easily. There is basically no way to do that unless we IP ban people but then theres VPNs. There will always be ban evaders and as long as we aren't slacking it'll be taken care of Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
