Java Fix compromised accounts

[Deleted member 112709]

So whenever someone's account is 'compromised' they will be banned permanently until they appeal their ban. Although it's a good solution to make people aware of that someone may have gained access to their account, it is still poorly designed.

Let me explain why. Let's say someone is using an alt to get onto the server and cheat but they notice the alt they use is banned for 'Compromised account'. All they do is appeal the ban and get the account unbanned immediately after submitting an appeal. Get what I'm trying to say? It shouldn't be that easy to get unbanned for a compromised account. It makes it useless to ban for as the point of it is to prevent anyone that shouldn't have access to an account to join the server.

The (possible) solution
After submitting an appeal, unban the account after 30 days. This way, if for example an account is to be used for cheating, they won't be able to access the server immediately after appealing thus making it harder to bypass bans as they won't be able to use the compromised account.

What about all the people that don't hack? I think this would do more harm than good.

If you can't come up with a strong password and properly secure an account then you should be made aware of it. Having them banned for 30 days allows them to secure their account. Hypixel does it too and it does more good than harm on there.

I don't think it's a good idea. I got banned for a compromised account once because I logged in at a friend's place. Why should I wait 30 days for a simple thing like that? That's rediculous. I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one who logs in somewhere else sometimes.

Solution to that is to change the way an account is flagged as compromised to reduce such situations.

I'm kinda divided by this. It's really not working to ban cheaters for comp. account because they can easily access it, but l don't think that there is any other fair solution without punishing the people who did change their password. I'd say it's a no for me.

Maybe allow an account to be unbanned immediately for one time. And if their accounts gets compromised again they will have to wait 30 days.
