Hello MCGamer. ProfessorRetro here, and today I am bringing to you all a thread that might possibly change nothing, simply because I'm really frustrated.
As most of you may know, these days, hackers and bad sports aren't the only things ruining these amazing servers. One group of people contributing to these are known as "DDoSers". These people have access to a certain thing called a "booter" or a "stress tester", which they use to send an overload of packets to your internet and or a server. This basically makes your internet useless. A lot of clans these days have access to booters, and a large majority of these "DDoSers" are a part of big MCSG clans.
This leads me into my reasoning as to why MCGamer should be taking action against these DDoSers. These people belong to MCSG/MCGamer clans, which is a sub-forum on it's forums. In my opinion, this gives MCSG/MCGamer the responsibility of dealing with DDoSers within these clans. From my personal experience, these DDoSers are DDoSing for a couple of reasons:
How could MCGamer take action against these DDoSers? Well, I've come up with a few possible ways, but they have their flaws, which is why I'm asking you, the community, to pitch in your own ideas so we can make this a rule with consequences.
One way that I have come up with, is that even if it's on another Teamspeak server or Minecraft server, if anyone threatens to DDoS and the victim has evidence of them threatening them, they should be given a 2 week ban off of MCGamer. If someone were to threaten to DDoS someone, and that person does end up with their internet dropping, then it would be a 4 week ban even if they weren't the DDoSer, simply because they were a part of a direct DDoS. Now, I understand that there is no 100% way to confirm that someone DDoSed, but you have to use common sense here. The flaws that I have discovered with this system is that someone could simply change their name on TeamSpeak so that they could frame someone else for DDoS. I have no counter to this.
If you were to disagree with me with how you can be banned for threatening to DDoS, think of it this way. You can be banned off of MCGamer for saying you hack, even if you aren't.
So, MCGamer Community, please put in your own ideas so we can help reach a mutual agreement as a community and try to make this a proper rule with consequences: Do not DDoS.
*I understand I have posted this in probably the wrong section, so if I have, could a moderator kindly move this somewhere else?*

- To feel powerful
- To blackmail into receiving something
- Anger
- As a form of revenge (related to anger)
- Miscellaneous reasons (i.e, DDoSing an opposing clan in a clan battle so the player would lose connection to the server)
