report modder who ddosed server?
-
I was on round 36 in zombies trying to get the servers record at 52 when the server said POG joined and he started talking shit then it said Mr.Zombinator left the game but it never said he joined. Then POG said the game was over and he ddossed the server until the ping was locked at 999 and everyone died, then i did the report command and it said no user with that name connected.
He said he was using a modded name and he left the game then mr zombinator joined back so i reported him as im pretty sure thats his normal username it never said he joined the first time. im not sure what else to do can i get him banned from the forums so he can no longer connect to any multiplayer servers? im concerned about modded clients because i used to play on a vpn to avoid getting ddosed when i used to play t6 multiplayer so ima be real upset if he can get my ip with a modded client even on a dedicated server. i was playing on an op gold tranzit server and the modders plutonium forum name should be Mr.Zombinator. you guys banned vpns so ima be real upset if some modder can ddos me offline.
The server said they were both from the united kingdom which is part of why i realized they were the same person. so i called him a cunt and said he couldnt even buy knives then i said he had little dick energy and re rage quit lmao, the server has rules against being toxic so i hope i can be exempt in this case i really like this op gold server. so if you can find someone from the uk with the username Mr.Zombinator then plz ban them for being a cunt. Mr.Zombinator tried to say that he was on round 40 when that other guy did the same thing to him but i dont buy it for a minute ive been on that server most of the day and they were the only uk people to join and only one person joined according to the server but there were two names i was talking to. and when one of them would leave the other would join.

imthatsteve this might just be the case of a server admin (Mr. Zombinator) running a mod on his server that allows him to have some admin only functions like changing his name or killing other players.
Anyways there is no proof for any of this so we won't take action.
Also we're not blocking vpns, that is done by iw4madmin which is a 3rd party administration software for cod servers. -
oh so we are allowed to use vpns to connect to plutonium servers? and is there some way i can find out who the admins or staff members are on a server? i assumed that if it was an admin tool then they could just restart the game or kill the players and wouldnt have to ddos the server so we would all see a connection interrupted notification and 999 ping for 1 minute until we all died and the game restarted automatically.
I figured that maybe staff would have some reason for doing so other than just being a twat that wanted to troll some players before leaving the game. its not even like they wanted to play on the server from a fresh start because the dude joined in alone ddosed the server and then left and nobody else joined in and the server was empty when i first joined it so it just didnt feel like a staff interaction at all. plus i figured he would have banned me when i said he had small dick energy if he could have.
I understand that you cant do anything about it being private servers and all but i would like some way of figuring out which servers are decent and have alright staff and which servers give staff to 12 yo british cunts before i go and invest 4 hours into trying to beat a server record just to have my game ended by any cunt with a modded client. and i was under the impression that you guys use some sort of anticheat software that notifies you when people use clientside mods that could manipulate the name reported to the server then gives them a global ban and you think the mod was server side instead, could you just tell me how all of that works? im not sure how or even if i could get evidence of a modder ruining my game but i reported them to the server admin so now do i need the server admin to find some evidence of modding for me? or is the evidence just the detection of client modding software so if the mods are undetected then there is no recourse i can take?
or perhaps is there some other evidence that this was a staff member? i have not been in contact with the server admin and im not quite sure how i would do that but maybe someone here is already familiar with the admins doing this kind of thing. im almost wondering if Mr.Zombinator is an admin on a different server trying to prevent people from using a competitor server buts its a video game lol that seems very petty and im not sure what they would have to gain so i think they just wanted to be a cunt.
im just really bummed out becuse i was very happy to have a working zombies multiplayer without a bunch of modders but now if the admins are the modders than who knows what else i have to deal with, the can probably wipe the in game bank too and leave me with nothing and i wont have any recourse other than to try and find a different server and hope the staff arent cunts.

imthatsteve said in report modder who ddosed server?:
oh so we are allowed to use vpns to connect to plutonium servers?
Yes but server owners may still block vpn ip's via iw4madmin, not in our control.
and is there some way i can find out who the admins or staff members are on a server? i assumed that if it was an admin tool then they could just restart the game or kill the players and wouldnt have to ddos the server so we would all see a connection interrupted notification and 999 ping for 1 minute until we all died and the game restarted automatically.
That's all configurable so if they want they can have their administration tool announce it if an admin joins but they can also disable that.
Some servers also have websites that you can find by simply googling the name of the server.I figured that maybe staff would have some reason for doing so other than just being a twat that wanted to troll some players before leaving the game. its not even like they wanted to play on the server from a fresh start because the dude joined in alone ddosed the server and then left and nobody else joined in and the server was empty when i first joined it so it just didnt feel like a staff interaction at all. plus i figured he would have banned me when i said he had small dick energy if he could have.
Maybe he just wanted to annoy people for no reason.. yea some people are like that, especially in the cod community.
I understand that you cant do anything about it being private servers and all but i would like some way of figuring out which servers are decent and have alright staff
AWOG, NBS, ReactionGaming just to name a few decent hosters, as a general rule the more professional hosters always have multiple servers and not just one.
i was under the impression that you guys use some sort of anticheat software that notifies you when people use clientside mods that could manipulate the name reported to the server then gives them a global ban and you think the mod was server side instead, could you just tell me how all of that works? im not sure how or even if i could get evidence of a modder ruining my game but i reported them to the server admin so now do i need the server admin to find some evidence of modding for me? or is the evidence just the detection of client modding software so if the mods are undetected then there is no recourse i can take?
Yes we do have an anticheat, and 99% of cheats are detected aswell. But as i said before it's also possible that he has a mod running on his server that gives him some special privileges, we don't detect that as we specifically allow server owners to run custom scripts on their server for modability, the majority of mods are used for good stuff like custom game modes or restricting weapons.

okay well i just wanted to help keep the community free of modders and let you guys know that someone might have a way of avoiding the in game report/admin functions via a fake name and i figured that on the off chance that this is not a admin or staff of that particular server then they would likely be doing this to a lot of people on a lot of servers and if nobody can report them or ban them because nobody knows their real name then this could be a huge headache for server staff and thats just if they even find out there is a problem. i suspect many people would just quit the game and wouldnt bother mentioning it on the forums or doing anything other than trying to report someone and failing and then joining a new server. so if you get 5 reports of this kind of thing then its probably a problem effecting 50-100 people but only 5-10% of people are willing to come to the forums and report it.
I would like some way to know if this person is or is not admin on a specific server so i dont go pick a new server that he also happens to run and then i have the same thing happen again and i just get the same response because i have no way to know if they are staff or not. is there any sort of evidence i can collect as a user that would allow you guys to take action or is that entirely dependent on the specific server staff?
i have a feeling that this person just scrolls down the list of servers looking for the highest round in zombies then they join the server with a mod that sends a fake name then they use some man in the middle tool to find what ip their game is sending traffic to then they log on to some stress testing website and ddos that ip offline and end the game for everyone playing, then those players talk shit to them when they stop the test and the game resets and they try to report them but the report fails because they use the wrong name and then the modder leaves the game and goes to find the next highest zombies round with an open player slot, rinse and repeat. honestly they probably dont even need a modded client they could just intercept the packet that their client sends to the server then change the username and forward the packet to the server idk if you guys have any serverside username authentication or if admins can disable that or whatever but i would like to prevent this from happening to me as well as anyone else in the future.
id imagine thig guy likely learned their lesson with me and they will fix it so nobody sees their real username next time which will just make it harder for people to report to anyone with any power to do anything about it.

sorry i mentioned Optimus when i needed Optimus X im not sure how to mention users with a space in their name.
This user: https://forum.plutonium.pw/user/optimus-x
I believe the server was owned by them iirc.
it was an OP Gold modded TranZit 24/7 server and the best one i have ever had the pleasure of joining.
it appears to be offline now unfortunately.
can you weigh in here? was Mr.Zombinator staff on your server and do you have any server logs or my report, maybe some ip logs or traffic logs/chat logs that confirm what i said? the user joined and said wow thats a nice round its a shame the game is going to end. i asked why and then the server was dosed or ddosed until we all died to lag and then the game restarted and i attempted to report the fake name then i succeeded in reporting the real name and then they left and then i left and made this post on the forums so any logs should be from the time right (maybe 30 minutes to an hour) before this post was made.
without the Mention i have no way to contact Optimus X but there was a regular announcement on the server that named them the owner so i would like to bring this to their attention. right now all i can think of would be to make a comment in some unrelated post of theirs but that doesnt seem appropriate so perhaps the plutonium staff are able to reach out to members through direct messages or mention users with spaces in their names. when i select his name through the mention autocomplete it just pings optimus and adds -x after.

Optimus X okay thank you for the fast reply, im sorry for jumping to conclusions. was POG some sort of nickname for console/some admin tool or was that a modder?
