To prevent the fucking griefes to use votekicking system to ban good players, i present you my new supermegacreative idea which already announced in the title and which nobody cares BECAUSE WE WANT PUPPIES ADDED IN GAME.
STEP 1:
Remove teamkilling option from server config to prevent assholes to disable teamkilling of assholes who destroying base blocks.
STEP 2:
Remove ability to vote on peoples who wasn't busted (teamkilled while removing fucking blocks on the base)
STEP 3:
Enjoy fair votekicking system which nobody needs because everybody likes griefers and just want to be fucked in the arse at least 3 times/every day.

SUGGESTION 1:
All we know that when you put a 3x3 cube, block inside of cube becomes brown and erase its color. Well, then, let it become also HARDER TO DESTROY EVEN WITH A ETERNAL ALL-DESTROYING SHOVEL. You build strong walls - you get strong walls. You build 1-block thin walls - you get what you build. That's fair.

SUGGESTION 2:
Suggestion 1 algorythm can be also improved, if we build the 9x9 cube instead of 3x3. The deeper we go inside cube - the stronger becomes block. I think its not too difficult to code in game.

That was my brilliant suggestions which you must implement if you really want ace-of-spades to be really greatest 21-st century game. Thank you.

Well, I'm miffed, i just got kicked for something i didn't do! ... and i was having fun... :(
They need to do something about constantly vote kicking someone. In the server 9 consecutive people were kicked and/or banned, including me. Now... i did nothing wrong, but who's to say about the others... i know 1 was griefing by chopping down a fort, but does that mean that anyone can get kicked because they want to? They didnt even think i was doing something, someone yelled "HES GRIEFING!!!" and the blue vote option popped up with reason... "none". ....I know they cant really do something about this, but they can make it harder for someone to kick, so that if its for a honest reason, and the kicker really wants to do it... he just doesn't simply type the kick command.
Any thought? AND DON'T SAY I'M COMPLAINING CAUSE I KNOW I AM! ...this is a complaint.

Ok, so here's what happened: I join the MLG classes server and someone on the opposing team finishes building a sniper tower. After using the shotgun for ten minutes trying to get to that area on the pinpoint map where they built it, I began to use the spade to knock it down. Right in the middle, I am banned for one day for griefing. WTF?

I know that it is part of the game, but when you get onto a freshly updated server that doesn't get reset often and you have 3-6 people greifing the buildings to make them fall down it is very fustrating. There has got to be a way to stop this bs from happening. There is no place to hide and it is very aggrovating when people are idiodic and collapse all structures. I was playing on a us west map the dark fort and it was just reset and there were 5 or so griefers destroying everything and it mad me mad. So i tried to kick one to warn the others and after the votekick ended they kicked me and i wasn't doing anything wrong. I was playing to get the intel and they were like, "he's griefing kick him." BEN PLEASE MAKE THIS a non greifing game. There has got to be a way to make it easier to kick the greifers. How about they can only break so many blocks more than they build.

Often, a votekick can take a long time to pass. By the time it does pass, the griefer will have most likely destroyed everything. This is why I would like people who are being votekicked unable to destroy blocks. The benefits of this addition outweigh the potential for abuse.

Clanmate *sauwse*Corsair and i join empty servers and grief the heck out of them! for the first one (as short as it is) we griefed several structures on the RENAISSANCE TOWN server. needless to say, quite fun! ;]

First way: Be a troll and votekick the people trying to votekick you. This one's only if you don't care about how childish you will seem.

Second way: This one stems from an earlier thread on griefing and a wonderful word called schadenfreude, which describes please gained from causing others distress. Kaede-Chan pointed to this as a motive for griefing, but some other people objected and said that wasn't the case at all. Here's a chance to prove her wrong.

Enter a server hosting a map you wish to grief. I recommend the SuperCool building server, there's a lot of elaborate structures to destroy. Press [F1] to save the map to your computer.

Now take that map and host your own server running that map. Title the server something appropriate for the occasion, like "<yourname>'s Free Grief" and open it to the public. You may now destroy things for the sheer hell of it without causing anyone else undue distress. If you host with PySpades, you can godmode people so that they'll never run out of ammunition or grenades, for a really fun time breaking stuff into small pieces.

Somehow this has never caught on... which is why I agree with Kaede. Still, the idea is out there, so if you ever really just want to blow stuff up, there is a way to do that without being a complete jerk.

I realize that many lists have been made up to warn Server Admins, etc about questionable players. This will just be ones that I've witnessed.

I can't vouche for anyone adding to it, but if you do I would suggest following my guideline below.

Known Name/Alias: Jihad_Nasheed, Jihad, Jihad_Nadasheen
Reason: Griefing legitimate defenses, blocking in tents/players, taking intel and hiding away with it, hacking.
Servers frequented: Aloha uscentral hallway, aloha uswest island, aloha uswest pinpoint, aloha uscentral gen

Verified: I witnessed this guy on Aloha servers before doing this kind of asinine behaviour - to be expected of those - but i noticed in a game I played at 0900 (Central Time US&Canada) July 29/2011 in addition to low level griefing he was employing some weird hacks. He would be able to fire his gun and create a block in the air - not a server feature - and also be able to teleport from the bottom of cliffs to the top or across the map - in a server with no lag. Hopefully he just sticks to Aloha servers.

Just a heads up to any Admins who notice this guy join their server. BAN ASAP. Sorry I don't have IP.

How about making a type of block that would cost more resources...

Like 10 for 1 block but that would endure like 3 times more..

This could be used to build pillars for bridges..so those wouldnt get griefed or destroyed so fast..
I personally dont like the idea of absolute indesctrucibility..but sometimes a little more stable than those original block would come in handy.

Just a Warning to Build-Only Admins - a user by the name of "ALOHA-Admin" came to the SuperCool server today. I showed him respect saying they run good war servers. He was looking around and seemed to enjoy the way the build server looked. Just before he left he griefed my SuperCool Logo suspended over the water on a variation of AntiCBridge. This was approximately 3 hours of work that had been performed by me and several helpful people in the game.

Again, this is a warning, do not trust "ALOHA-Admin" on your build servers.

Thanks,
JohnRambozo

As you guys know griefers can be very annoying, but griefing teams absurd you might say NOT. "Team Fatal Impact" is the name they griefed me and some friends just in the past 15 min. We had an awesome base well some of you will just say go to Minecraft, we were not hurting anyone, but suddenly we noticed a large group of people moving towards our area, and then Boom! Griefers everywhere, griefing like there's no tomorrow we couldn't stop them. The group was about 5-8 people big. Then they left with saying "I hope you enjoyed, Love Team Fatal Impact." I couldn't remember the name since I was in so much rage. I hope you guys are safe from this team. Oh the server was Aloha uswest hallway so I hope people see more into this problem. Thx for Reading!

Yes, yes, I know, this has been mentioned several times before, but after checking the search I couldn't really find a thread specifically adrressing free, email-based registration. In the hopes of making sure Ben has seen these ideas, here goes:

Many people have presented the idea that playing AoS should require registering with an email account. Not only is it intended as a griefer and hacker prevention system, it would also thoroughly kill the mild imposter problem the AoS community is having. Server admins would be able to permenantly ban both the IP and the account of problem children, requiring them to restart their modem and obtain a new email account to rejoin.

Coupled with streamlined votekicking systems (with associated tempbans, permbans should never be handed out by troll-exectuable votekicks) this could cause griefers, trolls, and hackers to use five to ten minutes getting a new IP and account for one or two minutes of gameplay... chances are, after a few tries they'll decide it isn't worth the time to cause the AoS community distress.

As a bit of icing on the cake, registered accounts would allow for recordable statistics, such as total kills, total deaths, longest-range hit, longest killstreak, and other fun stuff. This wouldn't have any effect on in-game privileges, but it would be nice to be able to brag (and prove to people that when you complain about a foghacker that you're not some n00b who can't stand losing, but an experienced player who might just have an idea what you're talking about). Furthermore, it could keep track of how many times you'd been kicked, banned, and/or votekicked, and for what reasons. This would streamline removal of hackers, trolls, and griefers from servers.

Has anyone else noticed a large number of hackers since the last update? Super speed griefers, unlimited grenades and infinite health. I just noticed them since yesterday and they've been in nearly every map since.
I tried kicking one and the server bot said no such player existed. I double checked I had the number right and got the same. If we can't even kick em it kinda ruins the game.

On server i like to build bridges, bunker and other things. But some players teamkilled me. They say what it is griefing. But i don't know what is it. Can you say it?
And, it is bad what in this game we can't build, some idiots destroy it, and i kill them.
On 20/05/2011 i play, and on 1 server i do 53 teamkills, only that idiots destroyed my bridge!

1. THE GLITCH: place a block on a player's head, glitches them out and makes them suicide/leave.
VISIBILTY: Low
REWARD: Low/High (suicide/leave)
2. THE TEAMKILL: Place random blocks (green blocks when you're on blue and vice versa work really well) and, when they take one out, shoot them. You may proceed to 3 or repeat 2 on different teammates.
VISIBILITY: High (unless you use another person's name such as deuce19 and they kick 19)
REWARD: Low
3. THE DESTROY: Self explanatory. Destroy your teammate's structures, presumably after they have been tk'd.
VISIBILITY: Med (if owner is not present)
REWARD: High
4. THE EVIL INTEL STEAL/OTHER ABUSES: Cover the base. Protect the box. Someone tries to break it while holding the intel? Shoot em. Take the intel. You can return it yourself, bring it as far into enemy territory as possible without getting shot, or keep it. If you keep it, you can dig down into the ground so that those of the other team do not shoot you. If someone on your team who knows your location switches to the other team, dig a huge maze and hide under one of the blocks.
VISIBILITY: High
REWARD: HUGE LULZ WILL BE HAD WHEN YOUR TEAMMATES REALIZE THEY WERE/ARE SCREWED OVER

I or someone else will get griefed and then after many "votekick so and so griefer"'s they may or may not be kicked. Griefing wouldnt really be a problem if people would pay attention to it.

Just felt like getting that off my chest, that's all i guess.

Also perhaps worth adding, known griefers:

LoL - I've seen him in multiple servers and all he ever seems to do is grief, he'll encase people, destroy buildings, destroy blocks from under you so you fall to your death.

He was just off the top of my head because i just quit the last game because of him.
