Switch To Server bind issue

[cig_r]

I created a post about this some time ago, but just recently figured out how some people have been join/quit spamming our servers. I just recently learned that you can create binds to switch to servers. What these morons are doing is creating two binds: one to connect to our server, another to connect to another server. So what they are doing is flip-flopping back and forth.

- This is not only annoying, but it has also caused our TS server to crash when two people were doing this.

- I know one work around to this is to modify the Sound Notification on the client-side. But this only resolves the annoyance aspect... it doesn't prevent the server from crashing.

I tried adding the following to the server.ini, but no joy:

[Spam]
max_commands=10
in_seconds=10

It appears this works on a session basis.

Do you have any suggestions on how we can prevent this?

Thanks in advance.

If I'm right there are two "easy" (built into TS) solution to this:

- a server password (which is in my opinion still the best solution)
- ban this users

I'm prett sure with scriping knowledge you could write something checking the log files and baning such users autom. There might be already a solution existing. Did a search ?

nice options, I run a couple of public servers too, had some of those users too.. Did exactly the same as you did. So far with succes, maybe the support guy should add this option to his "easy" solutions...
