Get IP from guests?

[Trekkan]

So I had a spammer come onto my TS server and spam everyone on it. So I banned him. Which was fine.

However since he was then gone, I have no way to look up his IP address (that I can find). I'd like his IP for several reasons, one is that I turn in spammers when I can and two I might want to ban him from my website or something else and without an IP, I can't do it.

1) Check the server log.
2) Check the banlist.

No access to the server log due to being on a hosted service.

Banlist only has the uid listed.

Did you try TOOLS->SERVER LOG??

There are no IPs displayed anywhere in there. It appears there is no general logging for connections, etc. As I can't find even the username used by the person I am trying to find. The logs go back far enough and such, the data just isn't there in it.

Really? This is what mine shows...

9/24/2010 6:49:15 PM VirtualServer Info client connected 'John Doe'(id:7906) from 134.240.113.184:50037
9/24/2010 6:49:53 PM VirtualServer Info client disconnected 'John Doe'(id:7906) reason 'reasonmsg=leaving'

What settings do you have set for the server logging? EDIT VIRTUAL SERVER then go to MORE->LOGS

Thanks Poison, that was the problem. Prior to this release, I haven't had access to change those things, so I forgot about them. Looks like my host did a little reconfiguring. So now I was able to change it. Won't help the past, but'll help the future. Thanks again!

Its pretty simple, The DEVS had good intentions with this one but unfortunatly the web server list will bring in the crazies and those advertisers id like to shoot them all!

However there is a way to not be on the webserver list, In fact i am not on it and lamers cant brows my server in the list and target it at all. I know you want people to join but the web server list is not the way to do it heh. I cant remember the command for shutting off the web server list but im sure some one does and willl hopfully post it for this guy There is also a thread for it thats how i learned the SEARCH COMMAND is your friend

IP Banning is a useless idea since anyone can easily get their IP changed. Then when someone else IP legitimately changes due to ISP action to the banned one they are screwed. Your better off removing yourself from the webserver list and setting up a screening method for newcommers

For example: The default channel disables talking for everyone. You must be elevated to the NORMAL usergroup to be able to join other channels where talking is allowed. Then all you have to do is decide how your gonna elevate peoples usergroup (bot, admins, etc)
