If you hover your cursor over the "number" after the name, you can see the reason.

For LoveVodka, it say "Wackist; - Shadowbot" .

As for an actual ban list, I don't know if there is a public one (but there might be).

Good to see people are finally realizing this site's design features. It only took 11 months.

Today is first time I had noticed the reason there also. I don't know how many times I've clicked to see the accounts and never came up.

Don't worry, Spanky I didn't figure it out on my own. Some admin said it on an oth. thread some time ago . :)

As the name suggests, it's a bot. In other words, it's a cheat you download to be "better" at the game.

And since his FR is low I'm guessing he sucked at the game and thought he'd improve with help from a program, but was banned right after trying.

How about a built in feature inside assist that checks your graphic cards id. So if you ban him you can ban his graphic card id and he cannot login on the computer running with the same graphic card. If that is even possible. Just thinking out loud...

The ban list used to be public but when Pit took over he made it private for some stupid reason.

I'm pretty sure they already ban by HW ID, or am I wrong?

I know that once they're banned they can't play on the same PC with other accounts right away (unless they do certain changes to it).

Yup. Assist makes a unique hardware ID but it's not overly difficult to bypass it.

Ya, he prolly made it so that he could ban innocent players without anyone noticing. He was stupid and evil, but hopefully he is gone.

I think the list became private early last year, a few other reports lists/alerts reports became private but only a few people around here (and the players triggering alerts or whatnot) would have been interested, so it become private for a reason...

Silly 3rd person talking :P

I wouldn't put it like that but you're probably correct about why the banlist was made private. Us admins at the time never got an explanation (at least not that I remember) as to why it was done. All it did was add an extra annoyance to checking the alerts. Although at that point I pretty much gave up on the game.
