If you're talking about confining the game to closed-source binaries only, it's been discussed in the past, but probably won't happen.
Authentication is an idea (in fact it's already part-implemented), and it would certainly help the established players caught in a range ban, but it still wouldn't protect the hundreds of new and casual players.
In case I hadn't made it clear with my sarcastic reply, I, too, think this is a bad idea, but OS is entitled to allow who he wishes. OpenSource, have you thought about breaking the cheat/abuser IP ranges into smaller blocks, eg. /20? When a new IP is used, add another /20 to your blacklist. Trust me, there are large portions of those 187, 189 and 201 blocks that never see abuse.
Yes i know it is a open game.. and shall stay that way :).. -What i try mean is.. if there is a way to add unice id to game?.. -would that make it less opensource?.. -don't get it?
and yes opensource narrow the ip-range.. -that is good! -but how in my mother underpants . are we dealing with this brazilians and mark how they can behave or not then?.. --beats my little head? -Don't we need to take a stand here?.. -mark that this isn't acceptable?... (this is not for ever.. just for a few weeks or so)
and yes there is some people that will be innocent.. -Which im sad for:(.. -really.. not lying... :(.. -But .. but but.. is all i can say.. .:( can't find words here :)
