I ask that the admin please make this a sticky post. Too long have griefers taken advantage of this amazing game that is still in its infancy (alpha version nonetheless) and have undone countless hours of users work in building amazing crafts/bases. I create this post in an attempt to, at a minimum, make the community aware of their presence and limit their damage to creations on our servers. I, as well as everyone, acknowledges the risks playing on a game that is still in alpha but the users listed herein have been proven to have nothing positive to provide to this game and this community. TO WHO OWNS A SERVER (WITHOUT EAC ESPECIALLY): BAN THESE PEOPLE, WE ARE MAKING A LIST OF CONFIRMED GRIEFERS: Wookie - Confirmed Griefer - STEAM ID 76561198333679682 bitemyfaceoff - Confirmed Griefer - STEAM ID 76561198340086166 We do have their IP addresses but will not post them here. There is always the possibility of them using a VPN or them just being sad, lonely, pathetic people that we should have pity on instead of attack in ways they wouldn't expect =) Note that these losers are using ripe steam accounts, meaning, they most likely do not care much about their steam accounts and are solely using them to grief people on Empyrion, for whatever reason (most likely due to their sad, pathetic, lack of purpose in life and to destroy others creations due to their own lack of creativity). If anyone else has any other users that they have proof of griefing, post them here (with proof preferably) If no proof is provided, admins and moderators should at a minimum be aware of their presence and possible wrong-doing. EDIT: A user has confirmed bitemyfaceoff has changed his name to BUMSLUG
Whilst I agree with this, I don't think it should be a sticky, I can understand the devs would need to be careful. You could end up here with the actual griefers posting random steam id's to block creating a bigger problem. Let's just keep reporting them in here between ourselves as we are doing now?
Good point! I just would like to encourage others to report those caught up to no good. I have to admit, I was awfully upset at the moment I made this post. I agree now that it is a bit irrational.
I understand your annoyance, unfortunately there are idiots out there and there always will be, we can only do so much. Our server is private and the passwords etc are only obtainable by registering on our forum so we have a little protection at least.
A password system requiring an email contact and agreeing to basic server rules first, can sure help weed out this type of stuff - melonheads tend to go for the low fruit first and servers with passwords are too much trouble to bother with, most of the time. If not it's ban and restore backup time. If you have a good offering, no one worth having as a player ever minds having to wait to gain access. IDs noted though.
