False IP Banned? Just a heads up.

False IP Banned? Just a heads up.

I think it was about two days ago now that Damek decided to log in with an alt and then spammed the message "the NSA has taken your freedom away and IP banned you" or something like that before having that alt perma-banned as well. Earlier this morning (around 2a), the server acted up, and I was kicked, and then when i tried to log back in, it said the same exact message that Damek typed in. I tried logging out and then back in but still the same thing.

So, I just changed my IP and was able to log back in and continue about my usual business before logging off. So Im guessing that some of you may get that same message and wont be able to log in because Damek wants to target certain people. Just because he got perma-banned and all the hours he spent into Kreatious from the life that he does not have, and the high scores he once had, were all deleted (and rightfully so, perma-banned people shouldnt have their high scores still on record), he has to go and throw a hissy fit throwing his bottle, his bib, and his pacifier all over the room and some of us are getting hit by those items.

Not sure if Zerg is able to re-work some programs out or whatever needs to be done in order to combat this issue of him somehow finding certain peoples IPs and being able to block them, but I, at the very least, wanted to let people know (mostly towards the mods and the owner) about what he's trying to do. Just a heads up.

That message is given to people who fail the authentication server, as to protect from the bug that causes hackers to be able to use any account without knowing the password to it. However, it unfortunately will ban ANYONE who fails the authentication servers (Bad login error). So some innocent people have been banned. It does not have anything to do with Damek, so don't worry about him.

I see. This issue is resolved, may a mod archive it?
