Default An invoative idea.

Tell me if I'm crazy but if this is possible could lead to a much greater future of the website.


Every scammer needs proxys, if he dosen't his IP could be easily revealed by moderators and he could be hacked also he needs it to ecape the IP ban. We could take the pre-caution now and mass ban proxy servers forcing our members to not proxy on the site. I know this could be disputed however it would ensure a greater enviroment for RS cheating. The only problem would be if you could not mass ban lists of IPs, if not we could still ban the popular ones. You also could ban countrys such as Iraq, sudi arabia, etc. which is where alot of proxys are from for the protection of the proxyers, that would be a nice clean-up too.


In short, if people would scam; there IP is posted. Whole world knows it's a good chance it's not a proxy. I know we couldn't get all the proxys, no not nearly but if we banned numerous ones it would be harder and harder to cheat on RSF. Not even to mention you would need decent feedback to ever even try to scam, it would simply make RSF to hard to cheat on. Since this forum I guess is about making a "better future" etc. I thought I might suggest this ecentric idea.

Thanks for the suggestion. We're already working on something similar to this. However, due to our heavy workload, it may take weeks to get around to.

We still have very good security, for now, it'll do.
This isn't a matter of security.
