[quote="[NBK] G.I. Jerk":3f973]I made exactly such a tool for admin's to compile a "master list" of banned IP's a couple months back. On the critique of ST_Bazooka_Joe who suggested power abisive admin's would add IP's that shouldn't really have been banned (only warned perhaps) I decided not to release it. Such an idea in retrospect opens up the possibilty of too much malicious abuse.

Suppose someone added YOUR IP as a joke? You'd find yourself banned from server's "gamespy wide".[/quote:3f973]

I agree with this assessment. Just the other day I found out that I was kicked out of the DOA for cheating. Huh? I was never in the DOA or any clan for that matter, much less kicked out. I kept questioning the accuser but he was pretty vague about the whole thing. He assumed that since I knew the names of a few of DOA, that it was true and that since I visited a forum, that I was a cheater. I think server nazis are more prevalent than cheaters and a much greater threat if they were to have these types of powers.

If someone from doa IS making these accusations, please come forward and tell me personally. PM me if you dont want to air it here. Personally, I have never had a problem with the clan when it was in MOH and have/had a fair amount of respect for a number of its members.
