combat logging: a constructive thread ?

[Belial1980 0]

Epoch mod had a great way of dealing with combat loggers. 

 

Every time you had an attack happen near you, be it zombie or player, whether you shot / attacked or WERE shot at / attacked you were placed in 'combat mode' for 30 seconds, during which logout was disabled in the menu.

 

If you disconnected (Alt-F4) during this time you were rendered unconscious upon re-login for 5 / 10 minutes ( I forget exactly how long), which is more than enough discouragement for players to combat log in most cases, especially if they were in a high risk area.
