It says on that page that modding the clinet is considered cheating. What if I make a mod that, for example, switches the locations of the diffrent buttons in the top of the screen. Is that cheating? I doubt it.
And what if I make a mod that adds an IRC open to the PS chat? It can\'t be considered as cheating either.
Another thing, it says on that page that cheaters will be IP-banned. I think that whenever a cheater is IP-banned, just banning him isn\'t enough. His IP should be stored for future reference. If another cheater is found, that uses an IP that is only diffrent by a bit, it might mean that it\'s the same person. If after looking a bit deeper it\'s obvious that it\'s the same cheater that uses a diffrent IP, his ISP\'s abuse department should be contacted. Since cheating is against the TOS, they will probebly stop giving him service. If they won\'t, tell them you\'re range-banning all of their IPs. They\'ll probebly stop his service because they wouldn\'t want their customers to go to another ISP that PS doesn\'t ban.
An ISP that insists on not cutting the service of the cheater will be range-banned, and whoever tries to access PS using this range will get a nice message that says:
Your Internet Service Provider was banned from PlaneShift because they allowed illegal activity to be performed toward PlaneShift servers.
You might want to switch to a better ISP, and if not, bug them on the phone.
