ok so I ban this guy off my game server because he's been shittalking for a while and I've been waiting for the opportunity to ban him.
Today he decides to advertise his own server on mine in public chat, I was at work so could not do anything till I get home, by then he's gone so I start matching IPs and what not. Looks like his friend was doing the advertising but it's his server. I also threatened to contact his isp (which I did) and have his server knocked off line as it was run off his home.
So then he threatens a DDoS attack. That was the last straw, I banned him, but he kept using proxies so it took a while for me to ban all his IPs/accounts as I try to not ban entire ranges which would end up banning other people. So thats done, I even did a quick patch to disable registrations (I need to make a in-game command for that...)
Now when you think it's over, iti's not.
He's prank calling my house now (me being too cheap for whois security = owned). I have the phone off hook and receiver unplugged. Minute I put it on hook it rings. Call trace wont do anything as it's international.
Anything I actually can do about this? Specifically the phone pranks?
I'll try calling the cops but don't think they can do much considering it's originating from the states or something.
