Why?

On a server I've been working on that I'm not going to talk about here, the staff and I have decided to have anyone who logs on reset by the npcserver which disconnects them. What I want to know it
WHY the hell do you all feel the NEED to log onto a _PRIVATE_ SERVER. And after you find the funny little reset message, why the hell do you feel the need to do stuff like this

You people are far too nosy ._.

note to self: suggest a closedfornonstaff=true/false serveroption that prevents people from even connecting onto the server enough to be registered by npcs, so if you try to log on you get an error message sayin the server is closed

Yea people are very nosy, but if you do not want to have RC spammed to death why not take that out? Its pretty useless if you ask me. I mean the playerlist button isn't that hard to click to see who is online.

The name of the server is very insteresting probally, if it's what i'm thinking, so yeah people wanna see.

Why not serverwarp them somewhere else rather than reset their attributes? That would never produce any output in RC.

*shrug* If it's technically defined as a private server, and it's hidden, and it gives obvious hints that it doesn't want people on it (as being hidden, being on a desginated list, etc.), then it's obvious that there is no good reason to be on it as it is under construction and it has nothing to provide for you. I don't mean that you shouldn't go on it. If you guys don't want people logging on, then what's the purpose of allowing people to have available access to the servers, anyways (unless they're developers)?

Smeh, who-cares?
Just make it d/c them or something, or ban is better but save it to a log..

serverwarp is a clientside command and thus less reliable than doing something serverside.

Hmm, I remember a server like that. I reconnected several times too. Maybe about 8-9 times until I figured out that the server was disconnecting me. (not my account)
