As Styx has highlighted we're well aware of these players’ actions and we've implemented a number of steps to stop this clan's gaming on any of the BarrysWorld RtCW servers. Their anonymity is not the case, we do have such methods of tracing the players to their clans. Any such players will have their CD Keys and IP's banned server-wide.
Any reportings of players with this clan, could you immediately report it to #bwadmins channel. By typing 'rtcw admin' you should get a response quickly, otherwise please leave a message with one of the known public admins.

CD Keys can be banned with PunkBuster, which would be up to your server vendor to install. If it's your own server, go to http://www.evenbalance.org and get PB from there, it's free for personal use.
I don't think it's unfair... If you ban them there must be a reason.... why not help other server admins to keep these punks away from the game ?I'm afraid we can't exchange banned information though, it's unfair of us to do so.
No problem.....Originally posted by bigbb
It's simply that people that are banned on BW servers, are just that. It's a controversial point to ban them on other servers because of an action they committed elsewhere. I can understand how that seems a little silly in a way, but it's something that's not done with BW, i'm afraid.

Its also against the data protection act
they may be arseholes
but they are protected by law arseholes =)
If anyone is going to exchange banned cd keys I STRONGLY advise that on your server webpage that you warn people of this before they connect.
That 'MIGHT' (and I mean might) get you round the legal implications of passing user cd keys and ip addresses around.
