    Ban reset?

    Ban reset has been a part of warz once before and it was amazing, it made alot of old players who has gotten permbanned before come back for example DashedPoppy.

    I belive warz would be in need for a new reset

    Money for Brawl? ofc a ban reset would give Brawl and warz the money it needs to launch new big projects for example update warz or other gamemodes like War or Capture the flag, How you might ask? Its simple math really, first look at the Brawl unban prizes. They are $10 for the first ban and $20 for the second ban. With that information we already see that people who hack has to purchase an unban from Brawl directly. Then we got the people who will get unbanned but wont have a rank, if they are still interested in the game they will buy a rank for sure and Brawl will get its a big income from just that.

    If we look at the community today we got some people hacking on warz alot and thats is Triple and Tyler. And have you ever wonderd why? You probably think they cheat because they like it and because they want too make the game terrible for everyone else. and that might be true but as a person who talks to those players almost daily I can tell you it isn't. They cheat on brawl because they got banned for along time ago and even if they tried to play legit they keept getting banned. Triple as an example got banned for leaking an ip list in 2017 (https://www.brawl.com/history/player/NineIsDaddy) as you can see here he leaked an ip list in 2017 and got insta banned for it. and with Triple words he explained "I leaked a ip list from 2013 to two of my friends in brawl teamspeak and one of them exposed me for it and got me banned" I understand It's an action who goes against Brawls own rules but isn't that pretty stupid that an ip list from 2013 gets a player PERM from brawl.

    I know some of you are scared that the permbanned player just will come back and cheat and make warz a living hell. You probably also belive that if you had to have this "ban" reset the old players will come back hack get banned and keep all the old alts will just get back and cheat and it will never end. But if you look from it in another perspective you might see that the permbanned players will come back and they wont cheat.

    One way to prevent that they will come back cheat and have these 2 chances you might wanna add a new rule that tells them that this ban reset is and will always be a 1 account ban only. What I am trying to say is that if they get banned again one time they will get permbanned again and wont have another chance.
    Also even if the banned "alts"gets unbanned it wouldn't have made a difference buying new alts are super cheap and easy to do, some websites even give you 20 alts for $2.
    I have talked to Klr and Tiple and they have both told me that they regret doing what they did and they would love to be a part of this "NEW" warz thats coming. And would not cheat if they had the chance to prov themself innocent while still being able to play the game. Just an example for this is when Deadcentral was a thing. Triple and Klr/Kyle didnt cheat. they played the game like normal players and had fun.

    With all this said i just want to end this agument with saying that alting wont be stopped and the best shot you have is giving the players a second chance to prov themself innocent and if that dosn't work you still haven't lost anything. Its a win win situation.

    Excuse my english, I hope I wrote it with some
    pretty good spelling

    I can see having a big ban wipe, with exceptions. Why should we unban Triple when he continues to alt?

    A ban wipe should happen, with exceptions for people who continue to alt. They would've been unbanned a long time ago if they just stopped alting.

    You forgot to mention that there was some active IP's in that list that could of been used against the person. Also not to mention Triple is scamming accounts, bragging out the horrible stuff hes doing to people, and using personal information against certain individuals. Tyler? Why not, hes a nice guy.

    A ban wipe might benefit WarZ, but will definitely cause tons of harm to every other gamemode. Unfortunately, it's very unlikely that a ban wipe will ever happen.

    The argument for ban wipes seems to stem down to this: there are people we've currently got banned, who shouldn't be kept banned. However, people who shouldn't be kept banned should be able to get unbanned by appealing. Given the fact a ban wipe is a popular idea in this community, clearly this is not working properly.

    At the moment, permbanned players can only be unbanned once they go 6 months without breaking any rules, including alting. (This isn't a strict requirement - sometimes we require players to go more than 6 months in extreme rule violations).

    To make it easier for permbanned players to get unbanned, the rules need to change. I propose this:
    • Permbanned players who have alted less than 10 times can only be unbanned once they've:
      • Gone 4 months since their initial permban
      • Gone 4 months since any rule violation, with the exception of alting
      • Gone 3 months since any alting
    • Permbanned players who have alted 11-50 times can only be unbanned once they've:
      • Gone 6 months since their initial permban
      • Gone 6 months since any rule violation, with the exception of alting
      • Gone 4 months since any alting
    • Permbanned players who have alted over 50 times can only be unbanned once they've:
      • Gone 1 year since their initial permban
      • Gone 1 year since any rule violation, with the exception of alting
      • Gone 6 months since any alting
    For permbanned players who have alted a relatively normal amount of times, this'll make it easier to get unbanned - especially for those who have barely alted. However, this makes it harder for permbanned players who have alted an extreme amount of times to get unbanned. As with our current rules, players can be kept banned for longer when it is deemed necessary.

    TL;DR: Ban wipe is most likely not going to happen again. We need to think of an alternative to a ban wipe - one that still fixes the issues a ban wipe aims to fix. This is most likely going to have something to do with the appeals process for permbanned players.

    As I stated before, I'm a firm supporter of 2+ bans to get someone permbanned. If rules were changed to be more lenient to be unbanned, getting banned should be a more stricter.

    Imo, this isn't a bad system: the banned player is
    - Perm-muted until an appeal process comes through
    - Is only allowed to play on one account, if they are caught on another account then they are re-banned; they can be allowed more accounts once another appeal process is complete for them
    - closely surveilled by staff following the initial unban (we have a big warz staff team now)
    - any "bannable" offence committed on the sole account they are allowed during that period will result in a re-perm ban. Once alts are lifted through an appeal, the same follows for a few months until the player can start being treated as a regular again

    With this staff team, I don't see a huge issue (once other jmods become mod, of course) with this. But then again, Socool's point on brawl as a network needs consideration. It would be difficult to do a warz only ban reset when there are perm banned players on other game modes.

    And the majority of those perm banned players cheated once more and got banned again.
    This is literally the only positive of a ban reset, but it doesn't outweigh the harm it does whatsoever.
    "They cheat because they got banned, so if we unban them, they won't cheat!"
    1) Triple threatened to swat my university no more than three days ago on one of his alts, along with threatening to boot others.
    2) Triple is banned for DoX.

    It is not stupid WHATSOEVER to perm ban a player for DoXing others. That should never be tolerated and the only reason he's still perm banned today is because he hasn't been able to go a SINGLE DAY without alting. He's been told multiple times to go at least 6 months to a year without alting and he's never been able to do it. It's his own fault he's still banned. That's the end of it.
    You're making a claim that has been proven wrong on several different occasions.
    If they "regretted" what they did in the past, both of these players wouldn't have made swat threats (yes, Kyle threatened to swat somebody literally his FIRST DAY BACK) in public chat within the last month. Both of these players wouldn't have cheated on alts within the last month. You're making them out to be victims when they are literally the opposite. They're a cancer in the community and both of them deserve to remain blacklisted.
    "Since they're just gonna alt anyway, it's best to just unban them"
    This is an incredibly stupid mindset.

    At the moment, it takes THREE banned accounts to get a player perm-banned. That's three separate chances for a player to stop cheating. If somebody manages to get themselves perm banned, they should not have any chance of getting unbanned unless they wait a year for appeal (without alting). There's already been a ban reset. The majority of people who got unbanned went straight back to cheating and got themselves banned again. Nothing's changed. A ban reset will not and should never happen, especially for the players you listed because right now your argument is looking heavily biased.

    Separate 10- into a 3-5 and 5-10 and make the 3-5 only 2 months on all of the criteria.

    Ok for a start, the initial ban reset wasn't done to bring more money in, but was because there were thousands of accounts banned on Brawl for reasons that were old, invalid, or improper. It was exactly what brawl needed at the time as it wiped the slate clean.

    What we are talking about doing here is catering for around 5 WarZ players who couldn't control their actions which resulted in them being perm-banned from the network. Now, in my opinion I do understand why they all want to come back right now with the high attention to WarZ and an active playerbase which is why I pushed for a ban wipe when coming back.

    However, when I see Triple and Tyler alting everyday cheating against players (including me on an alt) it kind of angers me. The fact that as a community were collectively bringing back a gamemode that they want to be a part of, but because they're not allowed to join in due to their own poor choices, they decide to try and ruin it for everyone really baffles me when they're trying to rejoin it.

    To any perm banned players that read this, or anyone that does speak to them and decides to tell them. Stop hacking or playing on ALTs, and if you're going to play (which is in the staff team will prevent as much as possible) at least have the decency to allow new players a good experience on the server. What I would fully recommend though is you just appeal... All it has to be is that you made some seriously bad decisions and want to be a positive part of the community again. To me that speaks volumes and as long as we can see that you're trying to change, that's when we can do our best to compromise as much as we physically are able to.


    Edit: Also wanted to add a word of advice. Don't associate yourselves with the perm banned players, you'll most likely end up in the same boat.

    There should not be a ban wipe. There’s only a couple players who actively play WarZ who wants it to be like this, the ones banned and including supporters of these people. You can talk about the banned players as nice persons and players who usually does not hack. But at the end of the day they continue to cheat and destroy new players coming to the game. On the other hand I can see people who would not hack if they were unbanned, but has still damaged the community. There should definitely not be a ban wipe and the ones who you are referring to @Murphay needs to make an appeal and wait 6 months.

    I think that a ban reset would work. It will filter out those who continue to cheat which idk if it will be easy to ban, but i do support an unban wave, but possibly only for certain people who have been banned prior to a certain date.

    Sidenote, it wasn't Triple who threatened to swat my university, it was Tanner. The point remains, however. If he wants to get unbanned he needs to go at the very least 8 months without alting. Nekron should not be unbanned at all (for a year at the very least).

    A ban wipe is harder than you all think. When they did the ban wipe back in 2016/17 can’t remember they also had to clear all the history of every player which were important information regarding staff applications. A ban wipe would also result in clearing all the loot on the server. That’s because all the hackers that fought people and got all their loot by hacking would of have it right now if there would of been a ban wipe. Of course they all still have these accounts! Which means they will be using gear that we’re hacked on against other players! And we’ve came really far already at MC-WarZ 1 & 4 loot wise which means resetting all the accounts, history and loot would have a really bad effect on the community.
