TheToxic_Avenger Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 [1] In-Game Username: TheToxic_Avenger[2] Details of Situation: I was supposedly banned for exploiting dynmap, but I can prove I wasn't [3] Ban Category: Rule 19 [4] Ban Duration: 24 hours [5] Staff Member: Unknown [6] ScreenShots: Video instead: [7] Your Reason: As you can see in the video, I was using it normally. I don't know how one would exploit it, nor do I understand why anyone would need to. It's easy enough to use normally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheToxic_Avenger Posted September 25, 2017 Author Share Posted September 25, 2017 Bulletproofmonk and ZLwb02 were banned for the same reason, using the same method. If you are to unban me, please unban them as well to save time for everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quagma Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 You were not banned for exploiting dynmap, though that is what you were doing, you were banned for sharing the exploits with other players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheToxic_Avenger Posted September 25, 2017 Author Share Posted September 25, 2017 That's not an exploit, I'm simply using it. And is there proof of my showing any kind of exploit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheToxic_Avenger Posted September 25, 2017 Author Share Posted September 25, 2017 I would prefer the assistance of someone other than quagma, if possible. I believe RandomNukes banned me, maybe he could help me. He's a good mod, and I feel he will be unbiased in his decision, whether it is to ban or to free.

RandomNukes Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 The whole thing about the dynmap is that it tracks staff, which in case you weren't aware, is bannable. Now, the rule 19 part comes from pressumably you, or someone else in the clan, explaining how to use that to your advantage, along with sharing it with other players, such as your clan mates. As it technically is considered and exploit, and therefore explaining/exposing an exploit. So unless someone else has something to say about this, the ban will stay. (As well as it possibly expiring anyways) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goddess_of_Time Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 I'm not here to take sides, or anything but to ask a question. If the definition of Exploit is: "make full use of and derive benefit from (a resource)." "Or to make use of meanly or unfairly for one's own advantage" How does one benefit from Dynmap being the way it is? What is Advantageous about it?

The dynmap is actually not meant to track players/staff, but rather to be used for scouting ahead for places to set up your base Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheToxic_Avenger Posted September 25, 2017 Author Share Posted September 25, 2017 I hear you, Nukes, but I never realized that this was considered an exploit. It's so open and easily available. Perhaps I could receive a warning instead of a ban? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheToxic_Avenger Posted September 25, 2017 Author Share Posted September 25, 2017 I considered it a feature to be used, since another server I play on has a dynmap as well, however theirs does not show players locations. I figured the Tekkit dynmap was intentional in showing locations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomNukes Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Lowest punishment for a rule 19 offense is a 1d ban, a warning for it is not possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
