 Description  « Hide
I think the ability to ban a specific user's hardware hash from a region would allow for estate owners more power to restrict unwanted persons (I'm hesitant to use the word griefer because most griefers have the technical expertise to use a third party client which generates false hashes)

Preemptive Counter-argument:
Yes, I understand that people can use third party clients but we can say that about all things, you may as well say we should remove banning altogether because people can make alts. This isn't meant to be 100% effective, just to reduce incidents.

If this is an explicit duplicate please link and close, I did search for other similar issues but none were direct.
Comments appreciated.

What do you mean by hardware hash?

They can not only use 3rd party clients, they can also use simple freeware programs to change the MAC address. And if somebody is banned and wants to return to that region, he will have the criminal energy to change the MAC address. So I think there is no use in banning by hw hash at all.

You've missed my point but nevermind

Zero chance of this being implemented and next to zero chance of this being discussed, may as well close it
