pretty much everyone knows how easy it is to ban evade, personally I have evaded quite a few bans that I saw as unjust 
Is TT including anything that will make bypassing bans a lot less doable.
Jamie is a guys name in Europe...

When the idea of limiting to xwis was opted, there was a shitload of reactions against it. It's the only way to check for valid serials, though. It seems that loads of people don't want to pay for the game but want to be able to ban effectively anyway...

I have (Read as: Had) a valid serial on which I created this nick.
I moved house twice, lost my sleeve booklet and am using a donated valid serial but to keep the nick I have to direct connect; I couldn't remember the password. Since you need the serial on which a nick was created in order to reset it's password, I was screwed.
hurrr

You know, if u loose your serial of any game, you're always screwed. It shouldn't be different for renegade. You can create a new nick on your new serial.

Why exactly can't you use WOL again? I know you told me before but I cannot remember it.
A TT serial is no solution as you cannot link it to a user or computer. Everyone needs a serial to install the game and there's an up to date list of valid serials over at xwis.
An in between solution would be to give the server access to the xwis valid serial (hash) list so it can check if direct connecters use a valid serial. However, you'd need Olaf to do this.

It says something about WOL components or something.. Ren is the only CNC I have installed. Tbh I haven't bothered with WOL in ages.

There's different possible solutions to this problem in the FAQ sticky.

I'm not saying it should be different, I'm just saying what I had to do to keep my nick.
The person who gave me their serial to install the game had used the allowance, so I couldn't make a new one.
Further: The reason I had to keep my nick is because I'm a moderator. I'd rather put myself out by having to direct connect than put whoever is in charge of the permissions etc out for my lack of tidyness.

If you can direct connect and get mod powers on that nick, then everyone can...

So you basically do a traceroute to find the local node ip and ban it. As simple as genius!
