steam level ban idea - President Karlos - 09-21-2022
i thought of this idea to stop people getting around the bans
could the server be made to only allow people with a steam level of say 5 or higher to join that way they cant just make new accounts and come back and keep trolling. it would take them time to up there steam level as i see most of the trollers have a steam level of 1
idk just a thought

In short, no. We can't expect people to take the short grind up 5 levels, especially kids. I understand where you're coming from but this isn't practical, let alone possible.

Maybe something to block accounts younger than a year, but yeah I'd agree doing a check like that would knock many out

The steam API has a method for this so it's totally possible, still definitely shouldnt do it though
