important post to AntiCreditTheft feature, sorry that it's in english:
[...]
calm down and don't do anything wrong:
even the official client blocks userhashs occuring more than once. But the problem with the official version is, it doesn't differentiate between good and bad. Even worse: if there's a userhash thief, he's able to kick you out of the queue and as a side effect he inceases the asked-counter, so that in the end not only all userhash thefts are getting banned but also you. Other than the lovelace mods, the official clients don't notify you of being kicked. Lovelace mod uses the same mechanism as the official one, but tries to select the good one by a ranking scheme:
- if a client has uploaded >3MB, this IP gets trusted
- clients with a trusted IP get 10 points
- if a client connects with a different IP within half an hour the trusted IP was seen it gets 0 points
- if a userhash is used for at least half an hour by only one IP, the client gets 5 points
- otherwise the clients get only 1 point
if you got banned because of multiple IP using your userhash, lovelace mods will unban you! By the official client you will get banned instead.
So, this method can't be perfect until there's a secure credit system by the officials (which is on the way) BUT it is better than the currently used system.
If the official version would send a message each time it kicks a client, I'll assume you will boil with rage. Maybe lovelace mods should send a message each time they unbanned you and protected you from your userhash thefts. But this would be too much messages. So I think of removing the messages but leaving the AntiCreditTheft feature.
If you got this message of being blocked, this doesn't mean you're blocked forever. Look at the rules above and you will see that sooner or later you will get back your stolen userhash.
And please don't ban lovelace mod's, because they are doing more good than harm you as much as the official clients - and also don't ban the officials now
