wOw!! I am still in shock from this Ali. We couldn't do anything about it. As Ali said, him, me and Vitto are the ones normally on this time.  :o :mad:

Ok.
Mcmmo Rollback 1: The file got too big, I deleted it and filled in the names of active players via files (a mistake I would learn about later)
Mcmmo Rollback 2: After people kept getting erased (due to that mistake) I erased the entire file and started the painful process of /mmoedit (name) (skill) # based on my one month old backup.
Mcmmo Rollback 3: The server hoster happened to lose that ONE FUCKING FILE out of the entire 24000 we have on the server, and everyone was equally rolled back to 3/14, my last backup.
Mcmmo Rollback 4: The most recent one, and the only way a hacker did it is if they had a backup of our whole server from when we ran CB 1818 because thats how far our plugins got rolled back, and we did our best to recover all the damage.

reference: http://www.pokemonserver.net/forum/index.php?topic=570.0

So hackers are spamming the shit out of us, and they're abusing the new chat system to do it in a way I've never seen before, but there is no plausible way they could be affecting our files directly.
I will look into a better spam-prevention plugin. OKSpamsecurity, an option we decided on a while back, is out of date it seems, so I'll look elsewhere. Any suggestions/up-to-date plugins can be posted here. Thank you for your concern and any help given.

PS thank you for the screenshots, that provided very useful information.

Hey Ice, I just wanted to confirm we aren't going ot get any preferential treatment right, no one is getting old stats or money back from screenshots?

I just wanted to know, its okay, but to be fair to people who haven't screenshotted anything. We just keep moving forward right?

This topic is for the info related to the spam attacks, your post belongs in the link from my above post. Thank you.

Kick isn't ban. It's just like any /kick command anyone runs.

I can try to make a plugin that can check the amount of times someone logins in a certain time period then bans thems.

Oma's been gone for a really long time now, and are we really going to start this whole Tene and Oma cheating at mcmmo thing again?
