Wow, I never knew this would start such a debate, I'm not trying to do
anything horrible, there are trackers out there that kind of come up with
stats tracking based on querying every server and obtaining all player
names, I was merely suggesting we could all do something similar for our
servers an
thecatacombs hosts something similar for hlds and has proven to be pretty
useful in tracking down player aliass used by cheaters. its flexible enough to
sort by ip and player lookups by won/steamid or player name.
we've easily spotted a cheater playing under one id and a quick search lead to
ano
Credit companies have been doing this for how long :P Ever wonder how each
person gets a credit score?
Good stuff to those server admins that have the capability to perform such data
mining. I understand that it is for the primary purpose of those offenders in
our game severs. Conversely
There's a major difference between actively discriminating based on
collected data and organizing collected data for use when the situation
dictates it. I'm aware a later email from Tony stated that this is more of
a slippery slope situation than a problem with the exact scenario at hand,
but this
I am sure amny people here could make somethign like this, just provide
a list of what info needs to be aggregated on a single server and if
noone else wants to do it, I will setup a database, and I will write a
program that collects this info from your server and inputs it into that
database f
True (though it could lead there with player donations and what not). I'm
just reminding everyone to be careful.

But it's data mining. You should ask yourself if what you are doing (or
asking to do) is ethical.
Example data mining scenario:
Ravi Singh works for one of the major credit card companies in their
data-processing center. The company is continuously developing new products

hmm... but I don't think there's a reason to treat running game servers as a
job or they take it too seriously
I set up hlstatsx on my server and get enough donations every month to pay for
the bandwidth and save surplus in my personal bank account. That's as far
as I'll go lol.

Heh, I'm a statistical whore. I like to know everything I can, and it's
particularly useful against players who abuse my server.
For example, in one instance, Tony Paloma had some jackass lagging his
server with an exploit, a quick check of the source of the malicious traffic
coupled with the play

You know, if enough server ops start getting huge player databases, we could
merge them into one super player tracker.
