This idea was brought up by my good friend Seismic and its a great one. We need to undo any and all range bans because lets be honest it is and always has been from the start a faulty system. Yes it may solve your problem to VPN's but it can and will ban innocent players that may have a IP range in common with the banned individual and thus the innocent player is banned without due process and has done nothing wrong and that puts a hault in the player count growing for our server. Because if you range ban someone that may have a IP range that could be in common with 10-20 people then your losing out on that 10-20 people that may have joined the server. So your basically banning 2/3's of the players with that IP just to get rid of the one player that has broken the rules. So that's a hefty price to pay for just one player that you could have just nick banned and if he ban evades all you have to do is match his IP instead of range banning a whole region that could join this server and have done nothing wrong at all. So you may ask yourself how do we fix this? Well its simple we do a complete reboot on the range bans then we gain that 10-20 players with that IP that would want to join our server. So we could go from average range of players which is 10-20 players per day and go to 50-60 players per day because we aren't range banning IP's that belong to massive regions. So your gaining that 2/3's majority that we didn't have before and if you get a bad egg out of that majority its simple you ban that singular IP/Nick instead of banning multiple IP ranges just to ensure that individual dosent ban evade.

This idea is worth giving a try. If this could not be ignored and shut down like a majority of topics that just get ignored / shutdown and not even given a thought about that would be much appreciated!
