• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Teamspeak Server Issues

Slown down Cag, exactly what is this person doing? Everyone needs to log off the server as TeamSpeak works as some kind of P2P thing right? I have it, but rarely use it so am unsure of the deep down details. Hopefully as long as everyone logs off their systems will remain intact..

Well, i had to raise the alarm on the server but thank god Dangerousdave came to the rescue. The guy was kicking people without having server admin and was possibly destroying files on the server.
 
I shut the TS server down until I can find out from TeamSpeak what just happened.

Evidentally some idiot from Switzerland 77.56.97.116 likes to play around.

I am going to go over now to TS and report the issue.

The TS server will remain down until it is rectified.
 
Hopefully you can ban the guys IP at a minimum. I was trying my dangdest to keep him occupied..lol

Thanks Dave
 
Yes I see where this is a permission issue that came out with the last update. I have got to play around with the permissions with server Query so it will take awhile.

I should have it back up tomorrow.
 
With the help of Alcazar on the TS Forums the hole has been plugged.

I have to admit I created it. I forgot to set a permission for member, developers and moderators.

needed_kick_power

Since there was no value assigned to that field anyone could have kicked those groups even guests who I thought I had properly neutered.

I have tested and the guest accounts can not kick, ban, or move registered members.

The password has been removed.
 
That is all good news. At least it was a created loop hole instead of somebody that had hacked into the servers. Hopefully they will never make a return to the servers again.

You know, I noticed that when I first got on!! My apology for not realizing what was going on as I should have brought that to someones attention ASAP. My permissions were all backwards it seemed. Funny thing is, I mentioned it indirectly to the others in the P-61 development forum...and they didn't catch it either!! ROFL
