Hi guys! :D

I'm currently hosting a game from my home computer, and a player has been blatantly DoSing my network. I have both of the keys he's used and I know he has more- how would I go about contacting one of the admins to get him banned from BYOND? I know this is illegal and given what he's doing I feel this is a needed step.

Thank you!

I'm aware of this- but surely the BYOND administrators care that a player is doing this. Isn't it against the community rules?

Really? If someone is DDoSing you BYOND should intervene. I know that it's illegal and you can get the authorities involved yourself, but it doesn't take much for BYOND to handle this personally, if a little manpower deducing the legitimacy of such claims.

It's against the law, you can report it to your local police if it concerns you that much. Try contacting the server's ISP for detailed reports on packets received.

Can't you just ban his computer_id? Short of using a VPS on his machine which is a massive drain and annoyance to use he shouldn't be able to access your server?
