My brother is banned, and wc3connect "sees" me as my brother.

Postby Celestamine » Wed Nov 14, 2018 3:26 am

Basically, my brother is a dumbass who got banned. But for some reason, ENT is 'calling me' Forestcola even though I'm logged into my own account. We play on different PCs but we're connected to the same router. We have the "Don't broadcast games to 255.255.255.255" box checked. This is annoying because I mostly play ENT games, and he doesn't care about what he's playing. So what's happening is that I'm the one feeling the punishment for his ban, and he's in the other room playing all he wants.

Recommend having your brother make an appeal as shared IP = Shared responsibility.

We ban based both on username and public IP address. This allows us to control somewhat to a degree a users ability to simply create a new identity and continue playing.

You brother was banned for leaving before a game was certainly done, and the ban is set to expire on November 16. All competitive hosting bots have autoban enabled, and this includes HHTD which he left from.

Processing.
