IP Bans

IP BANS.
Ok so, a lot of people have been banned by sentinel without hacking and normal ban. Yes that's simple but what now?

Ok, Cubecraft should use more IP Bans as a lot of people have more alternative accounts and can still be hacking in the same server ruining it...

The idea is to if someone reports people with hacks IP BAN, but sentinel can't IP BAN as it ban laggers too. So, if we use the IP BAN more cubecraft won't have that a lot of hackers.

IP bans are a something that Cube will almost never do.
There are multiple reasons for this:
Imagine if you have siblings in the same household that happened to hack on their account. You'd think that you're safe since they didn't hack on your account, right? Well, an IP ban would cause everyone that shares an IP to be banned, so that would include you and any other possible accounts.
This situation could also happen but with a friend that has come over or something. Public internet connection would be a nuisance too.

Not too long ago I have asked Management (more specifically @johncoles ) about IP bans and why we don't do them/shouldn't do them. Here are the main reasons:

Brothers/Sisters (Siblings)
If your brother/sister is going to cheat or swear and gets banned and/or muted, their younger/older sister/brother will get muted for pretty much no reason at all, since it's not their fault.

IP sharing
Now hear me out, there are providers who can share one IP over multiple houses, which means you could screw over an entire street for example.

VPN
Also known as a "virtual private network". Basically this changes your public IP which the server reads, these are free and are very easy to obtain.
"But a VPN blocker !1!!"
There is no way to make a VPN blocker as far as I know without screwing over actual people/IP's.

Therefore, we will not be doing IP bans, thank you for your suggestion though;
