a first i seen this in any of the game love it, the ban log file:
Open the file up " banlist.txt in it you read:
(this is the copy of whats in it)
//---------------------------------------------------
// NovaLogic Ban List File
//---------------------------------------------------
// This file contains a list of PCID's (Public Customer ID's)
// that you, as a game server host, chose to exclude from
// joining your game server.
//
// This file loads into memory when the game is run, and
// is modified by the game server when people are BANNED or UNBANNED using
// the BAN and UNBAN commands on the ~ command line in the game.
//
//
Do not modify this file while the game is running!
//
//
You must run your server as a NOVAWORLD server with the REQUIRES NOVAWORLD LOGIN
// feature turned on for this ban list to operate.
VERSION 1
// Usage: BAN "<pcid goes here>" "<optional player name>"
//
// Example:
//
BAN "A-MM-WXXIB2" "Knightmare"
// BAN "A-WC-WXXIAD"
==============================
it keep track of the PCID: number that a player use not only their names and IP# but their account number toboot they can change their name, can't change their PCID: Number. when a person host DFBHD they can ban a player and they be added to the list on top of that their acct info is added to the list with their name but only works if you have the option for them to log into Nova first.
