i seen some deuces on my lawn so i shooed them off
all deuces are scum therefore we must ban every last one no matter what no exceptions ever

I saw some deuces by the water recently. I steered clear of them.

I've done it multiple times. Because more then 75% of the deuces were just greifing.

why in the hell would anyone ever use this most deuces are just bros playing the game as it should be

That's where registration comes in. Or at least, as I have suggested before, an optional registration, that opens up servers that only allow registered users to enter.

What if griefers use the same name(s) as legit players? Then the folks don't know who to votekick.

!lookupply loki
ServerBot: Player Lokiamis with ID 17.

!lookupply kiam
ServerBot: Player Lokiamis with ID 17.

!kick amis because
ServerBot [Admin] Lexsym kicked Lokiamis because because

@Lokiamis
that defeats the point. then their name, their actual name, wouldn't be deuce, and with this mechanism people would know he's not an actual deuce.

People can name themselves Deuce# and have a different ID

@Lokiamis
the deuce-ID is the same as the player ID, e.g. Deuce22 is player no. 22 that's what he means.

i just say "read the readme, that's what it's for"
@OP
i agree. deucegriefers are a serious problem.

because griefers are only deuces now.

assuming their name correlates to their id is not very smart

What's wrong with deuces? For one thing, it's easier seeing someone's ID if he's a Deuce. It's also kind of fun to be anonymous every once in a while and to hang out with the other deuces.

You can't ban deuces properly so fuck them

Non-Deuce griefing is on the rise a bit, yes. Maybe we should stop responding to deuces who ask how to change their name in-game... if they legitimately care about the game, they'll look up the wiki, or these forums, both of which can answer their question.

On the other hand, it does seem kind of rude to not answer these questions, because most of the times the asker really just wants to play a game and have fun, and name himself so his friends can find him in-game.

I guess the question is how badly we're willing to inconvenience the innocent to crack down on the trolls.

I think more than half the griefers I've seen lately have been non-deuces.

Well, everyone that has ServerBot should just enable it. Make everybody who actually cares about the community happy. Deuces need not apply, since they're too dumb/lazy to even know how to change their name.

My ServerBot has this. I just don't enable it 90% of the time.

As has been suggested before. To get rid of lazy people and a good number of griefers.
