Must Post From A Home IP Upon Request

Believe Exceleont is trying to suggest a "prevent scheme" to all the scammings that are happening from ban evaders such as racks and racks. Who if you didn't know scammed around 700-900 dollars and was using a vps the whole time. I believe you can download software to have all your 2 factors on your pc now so don't think that's a solution?

 

What was suggested a while back as an alternative to svu? Think that may have had something to do with people identifying them selves? Think the work load got piled and that got brushed under the carpet.

 

Exactly this

I like the idea but it's not logical to implement

 

Basically this, without his dramatic ending.

 

Don't think it's too necessary. In the case of racks on racks people just need to use common sense and not trust someone new to the site just because they've donated x amount to the site.

It's not uncommon that people have donated x amount and scammed much more than this. People need to move away from trusting a donation rank and rely more heavily on vouches IMO.

 

agreed and the join date helps alot too, but make sure its not a super inactive account from 2010-2012 suddenly becomes active. Could possibly be a hacked user or the actual person decided to come back.

 

I think it's fine, but I'm not one to have the problems other people might have. I don't really travel or use internet that's not at home for long. I support the idea. The idea should be like, if you don't post from a home ip within a month/2weeks of being asked, you're banned till you do.

 

I don't like this idea at all. I'll be going to Kenya to observe promiscuous bonobos for the next couple of years so I'll have an African IP address and won't be able to be on my home IP on demand.

 

Something like this should be 100% checked:
IPAudit results for | Sell & Trade Game Items | RS Gold | CSGO | ELO | Rocket League

Also, as I said before, anyone with like 200$+ donated. Doesnt matter if you live on a campus, just show that you are there all day so dont just log in at like 5pm for two times.

 

I like the premise of the idea but in practice there are too many different variables to account for with each individual member to make this applicable to Sythe. I agree though that we need to find better methods of preventing ban evaders, though I personally have no idea how we would go about that.

 

There was a time that if you got hacked you weren't allowed to be unbanned until 2fa was enabled.

Now adays we've got users on here who have been hacked 3+ times lol.

People just refuse to 2fa for whatever reason.

A little off topic here but honestly, if someone is hacked it should be mandatory that they enable 2fa on their sythes or change skypes to a live: 2fa'd skype.

Back a few years ago I had my sythe hacked and Roary told me I was not allowed to return until I 2fa'd, never had a problem with my sythe since.

 

Although I agree to some extent that users who only use a vpn should post from an ip home address if their under suspicion. .There is a downside to this... that can be fixed with 2FA. I believe new comers that donate a high amount instantly everyone should definitely be weary about.

Things im thinking about and most of y'all know I find it stupid that donor symbol gains trust.. the idea about having checks on $200+ user is daft.. I didn't donate for myself....someone else did so... no at buyaccs input..

We shouldn't define people on donor amount.. but for users who are constantly on a vpn ip.. newcomers and instant donators .. definitely needs a check up..

Although I know what its like when you dont have a home ip. ..at the start of this year I didn't have access to a home ip for at least 3/4months so having everyone being forced to post from home ip... shouldn't be a thing.. only on suspicion or hacking should be dealt with by 2fa being forced.

 

2FA is such a good security tool I will never understand why anyone would refuse to use it. I think 2FA feature should be enforced more and maybe make it compulsory for anyone who has had security issues on their account.

 

I don't support. Being in the military it's only possible for me to post from my home IP once a year, if im lucky.

 

I don't support either like @Lazr said I'm also military. If I'm deployed or move to a new base it's not my "original home IP" I also agree that everyone should have 2FA it's there for a reason.
