If you have a keylogger, no level of encryption will save you. A key logger records what you type. That is like enabling encryption because someone watches you type your password from over your shoulder.

For what you describe, encryption would not help at all.

Then why dont you take a gun and shoot yourself in the leg?
You dont know it will hurt or have any other negative effects, you're only guessing. That it works for everybody else like that does ofcourse not have to mean it works the same way for you....

People aren't nice and simple like that, a bad home life just as often creates angels as demons. It might be that someone might have everything they could possibly need in life but divert their Bad into an online persona where it won't cause them any obvious social inconvenience. Far more likely its just one of the common mental illnesses that might happen to anyone like paranoid schizophrenia or obsessive compulsive disorder.

I find it difficult to believe you could produce a straw-man so obvious as that without knowing you are doing so.

I know exactly what I am doing, which is why I say what I said.
And again you make statements for me ... I dont need you to educate me on how I come to certain conclusions, specialy cause you dont even seem to understand me (or choose not to).

Then please, imagine I am five and spell it out plainly without going through such badly broken analogies.

Hey, you're the one thats lecturing everyone with your grand life experience to guide you, not me. If you dont understand, ask first, dont go lecturing me and than come back asking if I am willing to explain it to you as a 5 year old.

Hi, im new on the community, I joined to Assist Testing and help Developers (mainly Gnrl.BD).

I Saw this post today, then i decided to post what happned to me a few days ago (4 or 5 days)
:Sits on a red Couch and starts telling the story:

I was playing a normal MPI match, with a guy called "yeah" anothed guy called "peter" and another one i forgot his name, i guess it was "Russian".
Where playing until a random guy joined and joined with "Sabre Tank" and started Sharing Minigun/Cannon/Mortar Shoots on our own base with the Builders, Scavengers and Repairing ships (who got destroyed) i was about to ask who was destroying everything and tell him to stop untill he killed me (i was on a Relay Bunker) So i Opened my Admin menu and banned that random kid asap, cant remember the name or IP, anyway IP changes everyday, so its useless to Remember it...
And Name can be changed infinite times too.
Anyway, abobe Users please Dont fight each other, we are on this Forum Posting to Fight Grieffers and Cheaters/AngryGermanKids, not between us, be friends dudes.
Well, that is all.
Peace Through Power Kids.

He is in the habit of using the names of other players, don't ban people based on the name they are using or you will run out of people to play with...
Try some of the things we have mentioned here and don't give in, what he wants is to make you stop playing the parts of BZ2 he does not like himself...most of the other bz2 players are fairly sane :) and will welcome you to our worlds.

Well, it started about 8-9 years ago, what did you now expect?
That it would die out when nobody even dares to state too loud how they feel about it?

Looks like the proxy list from wikipedia is far more comprehensive than the free proxy one from peerblock, which I guess must be somewhat out of date. :(

I too have been encountering some greifers today, and the lack of games makes this more frustrating.
